Sound Healing Preparation
Set your space for your gong bath experience.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Sound healing preparations include a myriad of facets that encourage your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies to enter into this sound healing. How you spend the day may influence how quickly you enter into the meditation and how deep you go.
The more you prepare for the sound ceremony, the more profound its potential healing. Being aware of how you spend the day of the ceremony may impact the healing you receive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Prepare prior to Ceremony

If this is the case, we encourage you to drink some Jasmine tea, listen to some calming music, and remember that a ceremony approaches. In these cases, arriving early is especially important to help you transition from work to ceremony.
If possible, plan for a slow-paced day hiking, reading, creating, taking a bath, or participating in activities that nurture a tranquil space. Consider avoiding alcohol on the day of the ceremony.

What to bring to the sound ceremony
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Your physical comfort is a top priority as this may set the stage for the type of experience you manifest. Wearing restrictive or loud clothing may be a distraction and inhibit your ability to remain present with your sound healing experience. Please keep in mind that you will be laying down in Savasana for the entire ceremony, approximately 90 minutes. Dress for comfort, warmth, and flexibility. In addition to what you wear, please consider these other preparation ideas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”yes” angled_section_position=”both” angled_section_direction=”from_left_to_right” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”rgba(190,145,226,0.14)” padding_top=”25″ padding_bottom=”25″ z_index=””][vc_column][qode_circles columns=”three_columns” circle_line=”no_line”][qode_circle type=”image_type” title_tag=”h3″ title=”Arrive with Time to Create a Meditative Space” text=”Please arrive around 15 minutes prior to the start of ceremony.
