Bathe in pure sounds that will take you on a deeply transformational journey to release stagnant energy and harmonize mind and body.
About the experience:
The Soundshower combines chimes, tibetan bowls, flutes and vocal harmonics. During a session you will be invited to lie down and immerse in vibrations created by these special instruments.
Throughout the “Shower” different instruments are carried around the room and sometimes placed physically on the body. Flutes and voice are used to create a magical musical journey and overtones charge the brain and energize the body.
Being exposed to these healing frequencies enhances a physical, mental and emotional calibration to the human body and energy field. Pure frequencies are known to shift and release stagnant energy and tension accumulated in the body.
The Soundshower aims to re-align and harmonize body and mind in a very relaxing and refreshing experience. It may release stress and anxiety which can increase focus, clarity and insight.
