Sound Bath – Drum Journey

Angie Garton invites you to this meditative Drum Journey Sound Bath at the Yoga Den, East Linton.

If you enjoy the Relaxation Sound Baths using Himalayan and Crystal bowls, and would like to try a slightly more invigorating Sound Bath, you are invited to join me for this Drum Journey.

The Drum Journey Sound Bath has ancient roots used in many 21st century sound therapy methods. The frame drum (a type of shamanic drum) is played with a repetitive beat to encourage a feeling of self connection and self acceptance - it can feel like lucid dreaming or a deep meditation.

The session will also utilise the benefits of other therapeutic instruments such as the rainstick and koshi chimes.

Modern science tells us that the steady, repetitive drum beat brings about slow brain waves (e.g. theta, alpha) which happens without making conscious effort.

The benefits can be felt simply by listening and allowing yourself to be immersed in the sound, a natural process called entrainment.

The benefits of a Drum Journey are both physical and psychological, including; lowered blood pressure and heart rate, lowered cortisol/stress hormones.

It is called a 'journey' because we travel from our external world into our internal selves where we may experience visualisation, insight, awareness, creativity, and a deeper connection with ourselves.

No previous experience necessary. Bring your authentic self and an open heart to allow this ‘sonic massage’ to provide you with the time and space to just be.

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a blanket or two to make yourself a cosy nest to lie on.

I look forward to holding & sharing space with you, see you there!

(Please note that a Sound Bath is not recommended for those who experience seizures, or have a pacemaker / medical implant fitted. If you have an internal metal plate, you may experience some resonance. I am not insured to provide sessions for those in the first semester of pregnancy.)
