Relaxation Sound Therapy: Rest from summer's fire & prepare  for autumn at St Anne's Church, St Leonards Road, Eastion, Bristol

A event on Sunday 23rd August. The event starts at 18:00.


#### Relaxation Sound Therapy: An invitation to rest from summer's fire and prepare gently for autumn's turn

We're in that liminal space where summer's intensity begins to ease and autumn whispers its arrival. Lammas has passed, the grain has been gathered, and now the nights are slowly returning. This Relaxation Sound Therapy Session invites you to rest deeply from the heat and expansion of these months, to ground yourself as the season shifts, and to prepare gently for the slower, more inward time ahead. Through the healing power of sound, you'll be guided into deep restoration, honoring the abundance summer brought while settling into the quiet that comes as the year turns.

What to Expect Relaxation Sound Therapy Session: This is purposeful rest, the kind that shifts something.

A 60-minute therapeutic session designed to guide you into, and hold you in, the liminal space between waking and sleep, where your nervous system can fully shift into rest and digest. Using intentionally composed sound sequences with any combination of Gong, Himalayan and or Crystal singing bowls, and gentle percussion, these sessions aren't just relaxing background sound, they're BAST-informed therapeutic compositions that create and sustain the conditions for deep parasympathetic activation.

We begin with warm tea and a short grounding meditation before you're immersed in carefully structured sound designed to keep you in that powerful threshold state. After the soundwork, there's time to integrate the experience quietly before closing with nourishing treats to gently ground you back into the present. This is purposeful rest, the kind that shifts something.

How to Prepare

Please bring:

* ‍♀ A yoga mat, blankets, and pillows
* Warm socks, an eye mask, and hot water bottle (recommended)
* A bottle of water to stay hydrated
* A little journal to record any thoughts or feelings that may arise

You'll be invited to make yourself completely comfortable and allow the sound to do the work.

The Benefits of Sound Therapy

These sessions work on multiple levels. Physically, the sustained resonance of therapeutic sound can support nervous system regulation, helping shift you from fight-or-flight into genuine parasympathetic rest. Mentally and emotionally, spending intentional time in the liminal space between waking and sleep, the same threshold accessed through practices like Yoga Nidra, creates conditions for processing and release that don't require conscious effort or analysis.

What people commonly report:

* Deep rest that feels different from sleep, more restorative, more integrative
* Release of tension (physical, emotional, or both) they didn't realize they were holding
* A sense of clarity or perspective that emerges without forcing it
* Feeling more present, grounded, and like themselves again

Each experience is unique, the sound meets you exactly where you are, and what shifts will be what's ready to shift.

What makes these sessions different from other sound baths?

These aren't just sessions to relax in, though you will. Trained through the British Academy of Sound Therapy, I work with the BAST Method, which pairs therapeutic sound with guided self-reflection and mindfulness practices. This means the sound doesn't just soothe you; it invites you to notice, process, and shift what's been sitting beneath the surface. You leave not just rested, but changed. Location
