Ignite your inner fire as we gather beneath the radiant Aries Full Moon for a transformative evening of connection, empowerment, and renewal of your self-compassion. 

Join us for a magical Full Moon Ritual workshop that harnesses the energy of this full moon to help you let go of limiting beliefs, your inner critic, and all that is holding you back and keeping you stuck. 

We will use the energy of Aries to ask, "Where can I get out of my comfort zone?" and invite the moon's energy to illuminate your path to inner joy!

I (Rachael) will be your guide. Hi! Nice to meet you.

Having worked with energy and sound since 2017 I’ll begin the journey with a heart-opening meditation to prepare your body and mind for the experience of the full moon ritual and sound bath. 

If you've not done a sound bath before, think of it as a “cheat code” to meditation. You lay and listen to the gong and other instruments, and your body and mind intuitively go to work, helping you reach altered and relaxed states. Once the gong is finished I will welcome you back using grounding sounds and affirmations.

You will need the following for this workshop:

• Pen and paper.
• A candle
• Nice, peaceful and relaxed space where you will not be disturbed.
• Optional - insense and your favourite crystal.

Does a sound bath work online?

Yes! Over lock down I tested over and over again with my regular gong bath attendees until we got the sound quality and experience as good as it is in person. To create the best experience, I recommend using headphones and creating a super warm, quiet and cosy space at home where you will not be disturbed and if you choose you can go to sleep straight after the event.

What's a sound bath?

Don't worry, there's no water involved and you get to keep your clothes on :-)

Think of the gong bath like a “cheat code” to meditation. You lay and listen to the gong and your body and mind intuitively go to work helping you reach altered and healing states.

As you bathe in the deep vibrations of the crystal singing bowls and the gong, all the cells in the body begin to resonate, stimulating the vagus nerve which controls your bodies relaxation response, helps prevent inflammation in the body and can slow your heart rate. Therapeutic sounds have been shown to inhibit the stress or pain response as well as having a positive effect on your heart and respiratory rates. They entrain the brain to theta brain wave frequencies where visualisation and the creative power of your mind starts. As you relax deeper you may find you enter a trance-like state, or are able to access different levels of consciousness not explored before.

People often report deep meditative and peaceful states, clarity of mind, and deeper connections to their intuition.

In the years that I have been using sound therapeutically, I've seen miraculous results with people reporting migraines disappearing, anxiety calming, improved sleep patterns, healing surgery pain and other incredible recoveries.

What are people saying about working with sound?

“The gong is more accurately a force of energy, "like a divine engine, affecting the body's meridians. By and large, after it's over, you just feel great, you feel like you've been healed by the spirit of nature." Don Conreaux

"The effects lasted well into the evening and even the next morning, when I felt an incredible sense of calm and focus." Priyam Sharma - from Huffington Post article Why every stressed out person should try a gong meditation.

"Before I came to Rachael's gong bath, I was busy and stressed out! I was conscious of time and feeling too wired to relax. It was a beautifully run gong bath. Really relaxing, gentle and healing. The gentle, calm ambiance you managed to create, is the best thing. It was a really lovely event, Rachael. Thank you."

"I feel so much more relaxed and calm!"

“I have done gong before but this was so different, I think it’s the best one I have been to.”
"Thank you, absolutely loved it!! feel so so relaxed, tingles all over xxxxx"
"That was amazing Rach. Can’t wait til next week!"

Much Love
Rachael
