SONIC BLOOM💕- Breath-work and Transformational Soundscape 🎶💫

This is a special one, and not one to be missed.

We’ll be joined by Mae from Sound Healing Academy, alongside Cheryl and Leanne, who hold the space here each Thursday at Studio Avasa.

Together, they’ve created something far more expansive than the usual evening. With additional gongs, Tibetan bowls, hand pan, ocarina, crystal bowls, crystal harp and more, the entire experience has been intentionally orchestrated to work more energetically, for supporting a shift in how you feel, process, and move through what’s next.

Held in honour of the incoming astrological new year, this evening is an opportunity to breathe life into new beginnings, to meet the next phase with a sense of groundedness, courage and quiet confidence. ✨🌿💚

Each facilitator brings a distinct depth to their work, and this session will gently move through breath, resonance and stillness, allowing the body to soften and reorganise in its own time.

Spaces are limited to maintain the potency of the experience, and they will fill quickly. Book early to secure your place.

Thursday 16th April - 6:15pm to 7:45pm
Studio Avasa - Freshwater
$40 per person
Spaces are limited

Sound is the primordial force, the first mover. In his book, Buddhism The Religion Of No-Religion, the great philosopher/spiritualist, Alan Watts, had this to say about sound:

“The Hindus say that in the beginning was vac, which is exactly the same thing as saying, “In the beginning was the word,” as in the Gospel of John. But vac doesn’t mean logos as it does in the Gospel of John, it means vibration. It is fundamentally the sanskrit word om. […] Om is the holiest of all names. You can chant om, you know, and really stir things up.
All Hindus and Buddhists alike use this word to induce a meditative state. It is very easy to concentrate on sound. It is much more difficult to keep your eyes still. But sound is very easy to concentrate on, and the is the whole point of a mantra: it is a method of digging sound. I hope you know what I mean by “to dig.” It means to get right down into. When you dig sound you realize that the flow or vibration of sound is a way in which you experience basic existence, being here. You can learn everything from sound, because it is not a constant. It comes and goes. It is on and off. You only hear it because it is vibrating. The lesson is that life is on and off, black and white, life and death, inside and outside, knowing and not knowing: they’re all vibrations. It’s easy to explain that in words, but to feel and understand that in your bones you have to learn how to listen to a sound. It was to teach that skill that this system of chanting was invented”.

“It is very easy to concentrate on sound.” Sound is all around us, but even more accurately, vibration is all around us. Sound is perceived by the ear, but vibration is also perceived by the body. We hear sound, but we feel vibration. This is especially apparent with the Gong/Bowl/Bells: the sound is clear and the vibrations are strong. There is as much feeling—or even more—as there is hearing". Michael Bettine

One week till this crystal sound immersion/weekend begins. Spaces still available if you want to jump on board. This weekend will give you the tools to start your crystal sound journey or if you already play the bowls to gain more awareness and deepen your knowledge to play therapeutically and safely for others.

"The Gong is the first and last instrument for the human mind, there is only one thing that can supersede and command the human mind, the sound of the Gong. It is the first sound in the universe, the sound that created this universe. It’s the basic creative sound. To the mind, the sound of the gong is like a mother and father that gave it birth. The mind has no power to resist a gong that is well played". Yogi Bhajan.
