UK, LONDON - Sacred Sound Circle, Hara Willow, BPS Office, 30 Tabernacle St, Shoreditch, EC2A 4UE, 07 Oct 2019
The aim of this workshop is to share the immersive experience of using sacred sound to enhance holistic health. We will explore and experience a few of the ancient and modern sonic practices that shamans and yogis have been using for thousands of years to maintain health and wellbeing for themselves and their communities.
You don’t need to be able to sing to participate in this workshop!
We will set time aside from our normal lives to engage with sacred sound within the framework of the medicine wheel and the context of ritual space. In this sacred circle we will work with voice and drum to expand consciousness, restore inner, balance and harmonise the whole self.
Focusing on creating or listening to sound enables the monkey mind to be more easily reined in, trained and calmed. It is especially useful for people who find silent mindful practices challenging. The breathing pattern, of approximately six breaths per minute, associated with sacred voice-work calm the body and slow the heartbeat. The vocals create deeply healing vibrations within the body and integrate the two halves of the brain, often producing a “flow state” (a term coined by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) which has been shown to be a highly beneficial state of consciousness.
Sharing sounds together creates entrainment between participants, often enabling a euphoric feeling of harmony and connection. The beat of the drum is used to lead us deep inside to connect with our inner world and allows insights and guidance, which can be valuable in a world where the external is a constant and demanding distraction from our inner knowing and the simple experience of being.
In a society where logic, intellect and physical beauty are valued over emotional balance, true health and inner harmony, we have become unbalanced and have lost our way. It is my hope that by offering these practices I can contribute to changing the direction of our path and additionally that you will leave feeling restored, calm, peaceful, energised and nourished by the beauty and power of practices that, although often forgotten, are as intrinsic to human wellbeing as walking in nature and eating a healthy diet.
These practices, when used regularly, have been shown to bring about inner harmony by reducing stress, anxiety and depression, lowering heart rate and blood pressure and supporting healthy immune function and mental and emotional balance. Additionally, the social value of the sense of belonging created in a sound healing circle cannot be underestimated. Sacred sound can realign us with our authentic nature, reunite us with each other and remind us we are all connected.
