FURTHER INFORMATION:

These sessions are open to all. The only requirement is that you are able to remain quiet and as still as possible for about an hour in order to maintain a calm and peaceful environment for all attendees. Anyone under the age of 18 will need their own ticket and to attend with a ticket-holding parent, legal guardian or formally approved chaperone. 

 

​If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Darren by email: harmonycomplementary@gmail.com

​​

Please arrive promptly for the start of the session. I understand that sometimes delays are unavoidable, so there will be a few minutes at the beginning of the session when I will talk about what to expect and to allow time for everyone to get comfortable, but no latecomers will be admitted once I have begun playing the instruments.

​

Getting there: 

• There is plenty of free parking in the local area at the time of the sound baths.

• Lee Complementary Health Centre is a short walk from Lee or Hither Green stations and served by the 273 bus (Manor Lane Stop W coming from Hither Green station. Request stop at western end of Southbrook Road coming from Lee station).

​

CONTRAINDICATIONS & PRECAUTIONS:​

Although there are no recognised side effects of sound therapy, it may not be suitable for people with certain conditions, or people who are sensitive to sound. You may need to consult a doctor before attending a sound bath. Please check if any of the following apply to you: 

• Pregnancy - sound baths are generally safe, but they should be avoided during the first trimester. Check with your doctor if you have any concerns.

• Epilepsy - Sound-Induced Epilepsy is strictly contraindicated. For other forms of epilepsy, you must check with your doctor before attending a sound bath.

• Severe or clinical mental health problems - you must consult your doctor or mental health professional before attending a sound bath to ensure it will be safe for you.

• Implanted medical devices (i.e. pacemaker, deep brain stimulation, intra-uterine device) - you must check with your doctor to ensure that attending a sound bath will be safe for you. Although unlikely without being in very close proximity, vibrations from the instruments could cause interference or shifts in the device’s positioning.

• Heart and circulatory conditions (e.g. hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, carotid stenosis) - you must check with your doctor to ensure that attending a sound bath will be safe for you.

• Thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis - the vibrations caused by the instruments could result in the movement of any thrombi. Consult your doctor before attending a sound bath.

• Metal implants (i.e. plates, pins, screws, wires, artificial joints) - although unlikely without direct contact over the implants, the vibrations from the instruments could cause discomfort. Please contact Darren before the session to discuss any concerns you may have.

 

There will be a lot of deep breathing during the session, so if you currently have a cold, flu, Covid-19 or other contagious respiratory illness, please do not attend. Contact Darren at the earliest opportunity to request a refund or to reschedule.

 ​

RECOMMENDATIONS:​

• Bring water. You may also like to bring a light snack to eat at the end of the session to help you feel more grounded.

• Your body temperature will probably drop during the session, so wear warm clothes and bring a blanket (particularly during colder weather).

• There are yoga mats at the studio, but feel free to bring something of your own to lie on. 

• You'll be lying down for most of the session, so bring a pillow, bolster or cushion for your head and anything else you might need to get as comfortable as possible (e.g. bolster or rolled up blanket to place under your knees). If you are unable to lie down on the floor, a chair can be made available for you.

• Using an eye pillow, eye mask or just a small towel placed over the eyes is recommended to enhance the sensory experience and help you become fully immersed in the sounds. 

• Setting an intention can help you get the most out of a sound bath. If there is anything specific happening in your life that you would like to focus on or something you would like to change about yourself, prepare a clear, simple, positive intention or affirmation for the session i.e. it can be as simple as "I am relaxed" or, if you are feeling anxious, a possible affirmation could be "I am calm". You will not be required to share this affirmation with anyone - it is just something for you to focus on during the session. It is important to frame your intention in the present tense as if it has already occurred (rather than wording it as something you want to achieve in the future) and to use positive terms (rather than putting the focus on what you don't want) e.g. "I want to be free from pain" still puts the focus on pain and wanting (rather than having), whereas something like "I move freely and with ease" or "My body functions as intended" provides a positive focus as if the desired outcome has already been achieved. "I don't want to be stressed" would be better expressed as something like "I embrace calmness". It should feel genuine, honest and right for you when you internally express your affirmation. Have a look at www.calm.com/blog/setting-intentions for some helpful advice about setting intentions.​​​​​​​​
