A wonderful opportunity to take time out and align yourself with the natural flow of energy of the season. At this time of year we focus on our lungs, our breath and our strong and healthy immune system. Just as the leaves are falling from the trees, nature supports us to let go of that which we no longer need and to appreciate that which is of value in our lives. Breath is life, it is the energy or “Qi” that sustains life within every cell. When we breathe well our entire body receives the energy it needs. When we reconnect with our breath we become calm, aware and in control and we can begin to bring balance to our lives and access places of deep peace within. WHATS INCLUDED: – Qigong exercises to support our lungs and strengthen our Qi. Increasing our flow of energy & improving our immunity – Learn The Bird Form a beautiful Qigong form designed to help “transform grief into love” This form has a light, uplifting, energising quality leaving us bright eyed and full of joy. – Forest Bathing in the beautiful woodland taking time to pause and listen to the forest around us, absorbing the healing energy of the trees. – Guided Conscious Connected Breathwork Journey to open our lungs and increase awareness of our breath.

In the morning we will practice some simple qigong exercises, movements and meditations to access the deeper energies within us. Then its time to enter the woods together to connect with the living Earth. As we walk through the woods, we will take time to pause and play with our Qigong moving meditations, listening to the forest around us, waking up our the wild within us.

Refund Policy Refunds up to 7 days before event About this event 1 hour 30 minutes Mobile eTicket Ultimate Relaxation & Restorative Candle lit Sound Journey & Gong Bath. Sunday 25th of June 7.30PM - 9.00PM Come and join us for a deeply meditative and immersive sound journey and gong bath experience with Robin Freeman. These sessions provide a safe space where you can come to relax, unwind, and just let go… An opportunity for self-healing, and for restoration of mind, body, and soul. Every session is a unique experience, and each week we work with different themes, directions, and intentions. This particular session will be aimed towards complete relaxation of the mind, body and soul. A chance to gift yourself some self-love and magical ‘you time’. This experience will be soothing, peaceful, meditative, and calming. A time to go within oneself. A time for reflection if you so choose. A chance to quieten a busy mind. A chance to completely let go of everything and just ‘be’. ABOUT MY SOUND JOURNEY & GONG BATH SESSIONS. I work with a wide variety of healing instruments and tools that have been very carefully selected from many different countries around the world. When combined, these can directly and positively affect mood, brain waves, the nervous system, and body chemistry, with fantastic and profound results. The sounds and vibrations that are created in these sessions stimulate the body to recreate its own harmonic frequency and help produce the alpha waves that are present within our brains whilst in a state of deep relaxation. All you need to do is come along, lay down, and relax, as I guide you along a deeply meditative journey. These sessions can help with issues such as stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, depression, digestion, chakra realignment and energy flow. They also create a perfect opportunity to set new intentions or release any burdens that you no longer wish to carry. The average Human being consists of approximately 60 – 70% water. Water serves to conduct sound waves. During a sound journey these sound waves and vibrations create ripples that gently reverberate over and over. These circulate around and through-out the entire body to calm, relax and soothe. As a result of this it is common for the heart rate to slow down, the blood pressure to drop, and the breath to become calm, peaceful, and return to its natural rhythm. Once the session ends, it is common for attendees to feel very relaxed and then enjoy a lovely deep sleep that night, followed by a feeling of refreshment once you awaken the next day. During these sessions I use several very special gongs. These have been carefully chosen and induce a holistic resonance in the body and a spontaneous meditative state in the mind, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and wholeness. This is both restorative and healing. It is just what our body, mind and soul needs to restore, refresh and revitalise. VENUE. The Amethyst Cave, 181 Seabourne Road, Southbourne, Bournemouth, BH5 2HH. (Google maps). Come along and enjoy a warm welcome within our beautifully warm, cosy, candle lit venue, and treat yourself to some well-deserved 'you time'. ADVANCED BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL.
