In the modern world we do not take enough time to relax. We are woken up
abruptly by our alarms, we leave no time to daydream, and when we feel those
natural lulls in the day, mid-morning and mid-afternoon, we power through with
chocolate or a coffee.
Being in a relaxed state, and specifically a Theta brainwave state, is vital for
human beings for a number of reasons. In this state our cells repair, our
nervous system restores, we recover from stress and process grief. As our
current lifestyles allow us very little time in this state, our cell
regeneration can go awry and our stress and grief can go unchecked.
This Sound Bath has been designed to encourage you to achieve a deep relaxed
Theta state for the majority of the session, the result of which can be
incredibly calming and nourishing for your whole system. So bring a Yoga or
exercise mat to lie on, a blanket, your cosiest socks and book now as there are
limited spots available!

Contraindiactions
Whilst both Ceremonial Cacao and Sound Therapy are safe on the whole, like many
therapeutic treatments and medicines, there are a few contraindications to be
aware of. With this in mind please read the below and if booking for more than
one person please forward this email on so everyone is aware and in turn looked
after.
Ceremonial Cacao Contraindications
Between 6.45pm and 7pm there will be optional Ceremonial Cacao served, which can
enhance your experience of the Sound Bath. If choosing to drink some of the
cacao provided as part of your ticket, please make sure you are well hydrated
before coming to the session, as cacao can be dehydrating (a little like tea and
coffee). If you are on MAOI based antidepressants, cacao naturally contains
tyramine, which is contraindicative of your medication. Cacao is not suitable
for anyone with serious heart conditions, low blood pressure, or anyone on blood
thinning or blood pressure lowering medication, as it is a vasodilator. It is
also not suitable for anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. The cacao served during
ceremonies is 20g per serving (based on one cup per person). The recommended
daily dosage should not exceed 50g. The cacao will be made with 100% pure cacao,
water and coconut milk. If you have any contraindications or allergies there
will also be a variety of herbal teas available for your perusal.
Sound Therapy Contraindications
The only absolute contraindication for Sound Therapy is if you are in the first
trimester of pregnancy. Although there is no evidence that sound therapy would
do any harm to an unborn child this is a standard requirement for insurance
purposes across most holistic practices.
If you suffer with Epilepsy or seizures please let the host know in advance of
the event. It is unlikely the sound frequencies used would trigger a seizure but
by letting the host know we can ensure your needs are met. The Sound Bath itself
is designed to encourage you into a deep state of relaxation that can produce
imagery. With this in mind if you suffer with mental health challenges such as
depression or anxiety the Sound Bath could be triggering. If this is a concern
please contact the host directly and we are happy to chat this through with you.
It is very rare, but occasionally sound frequencies set unsympathetic resonance
with metal implants in the body. There is no problem with this, but if you do
have metal plates in your body please let the host know upon arrival so we can
check in advance if your implant causes any pain or discomfort. If you require
lifesaving medication please let the host know upon arrival so we can ensure
your needs are met also.

This session is warmly open to all, irrespective of gender, age, disability,
sexual orientation, ethnicity, culture or religious beliefs.
