About This Event

Reset your nervous system with a Gong Bath & Reiki Sound Journey in York. A "sonic massage" to release stress & support deep sleep. 🌿 The Gong Bath & Sound Journey 🌊 Step out of the noise and into deep rest. Is life feeling a little fast-paced? Are you carrying physical tension, feeling mentally drained, or struggling to get a good night's sleep? Join The Sound Therapy Alchemist for a monthly sanctuary of sound designed to calm your nervous system, quiet the mind, and return your body to balance. ✨ What to Expect Your journey begins with a gentle, Reiki-infused guided meditation to help you drop out of your head and into your body. From there, you will lie back and be immersed in the rich, cellular vibrations of Himalayan & Crystal Singing Bowls, Symphonic Gongs, Handpan, Native Flutes, and Chimes. Think of it as a "sonic massage"—the therapeutic frequencies slow your brainwaves down into deep meditative states (Theta & Delta), allowing your body's natural healing and rest mechanisms to kick in. 🌿 Why Attend? Calm the Nervous System: Shift from 'fight-or-flight' into deep 'rest-and-digest'. Improve Sleep Quality: Many guests report having their best night’s sleep in months following a session. Clear Mental Fog: Let go of overthinking and leave feeling lighter and grounded. Ease Physical & Emotional Tension: Allow pure sound resonance to release stored stress held in the body. No prior experience with meditation or sound therapy is needed. Our sessions are welcoming, down-to-earth, and open to everyone. 🛋️ What to Bring for Maximum Comfort To make your experience as cozy as possible, please bring: A comfortable yoga mat or padded mat (a few spares are available if needed) A warm blanket and a pillow/cushion for under your head or knees An eye mask (highly recommended to block out light) A water bottle to hydrate afterwards Warm layers & thick socks (your body temperature drops as you relax) 📍 Event Details & Timings Location: Heworth Community Centre, 38 Applecroft Road, York, YO31 0HQ Arrival: Doors open 15 minutes before the start time.

Please take note of the following guidance before booking: Pregnancy: Soundbaths are generally safe throughout pregnancy and can be a wonderful way to relax. If you are in your first trimester, you are very welcome to attend if you feel comfortable doing so. We simply recommend setting up your mat slightly further back from the heavy gongs and low-frequency instruments for a softer experience. Medical Implants: If you have a pacemaker or sound-sensitive medical implant, please consult your doctor before attending, or let us know so we can seat you at a comfortable distance. Epilepsy & Health Conditions: If you suffer from unmanaged epilepsy, severe tinnitus, or acute mental health conditions, please reach out prior to booking so we can ensure the session is suitable for you. If you have any questions or health concerns, please feel free to send a message prior to booking! I look forward to welcoming you to the mat!
