John Gayle
Accredited Sound Healer
'…..empowering and healing through sound…’
From an early age I was aware that music and dance had a positive, transformational impact upon people emotionally, physically and also
connecting them spiritually to a higher self. Vibrational healing at its best!
I have always been fascinated by music and the feelings that it evokes in me which has led me to explore. Within the music industry, I have worked as a session musician, artist, writer and producer. My passion for music has made me curious to find out more about the powerful affects of sound, historically and culturally. Studies have acknowledged that music has the power to heal from the earliest civilisations; it is innate in all of us. My research has taken me to The Andes in South America to learn Tribal healing with renowned shaman Anthar Kharana. I graduated from the Atlantis College of Sound Healing in Somerset having studied sound healing using drums, Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, tuning forks, gongs and other tools used in modern day sound healing. My thirst for knowledge is still as strong as ever, while I continue to research and facilitate the therapeutic application of sound frequencies on the body and mind.
My mother was a trance medium and spiritual healer. With her influence of spiritual teachings from my family lineage, it was inevitable that I follow the path that has been laid before me. Alongside sound healing, I am also a trained Reiki, Chakrascension, Astrologer practitioner with Clairvoyant and Mystic abilities.
What is a Soundbath?
This ancient science of sound therapy is a deep, meditative experience that encourages you to totally let go and accept the powerful generated sounds and vibrations. It resets, re-aligns, and helps you find balance in your busy life. It is a carefully selected wash of instrument and voice intended to change and help balance your energy. It facilitates brainwave states that promote a deep sense of relaxation, which in turn, stimulates the body’s own innate healing abilities.
A variety of sounds are played with instruments such as drums, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, voice, gongs, tuning forks and chimes. These are usually played percussively by rubbing or blowing the instruments to bring out frequencies that are sustained. The different soundscapes that emerge, bring benefits to your mind, body, and soul in unimaginable ways. Working on your brain waves and on a molecular level, it can improve your physical and emotional well-being.
What Do I Need To Do?
You do not need to do anything, except lie back (or sit on a chair) and be bathed in sound.
Bring a yoga mat, a cushion and your snuggliest blanket.
Please try to be there at least 15 minutes before to get comfortable. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the event, we cannot allow late entry as you will appreciate that it is disruptive for those who are already relaxed or in a meditative state.
Please let one of our team know if you are pregnant (not suitable for those in the first trimester) or if you suffer from tinnitus.
