We are very pleased to announce a new Sound and Happiness workshop in co-operation with Becky from Holistic Happiness. Becky @ Holistic Happiness Guru.com/benefits-of-laughter/
About Laughter Yoga & Becky
Laughter is becoming the new meditation and science has shown that it’s just as beneficial to our mind, body, and spirit. The word Yoga derives from the Sanskrit language meaning to harmonise. What better way to harmonise our mind, body, and spirit than through laughter? We will begin the workshop with an hour of Laughter exercises and yogic breathing where you will learn to laugh more freely and easily. Laughter is proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, increase oxygen flow to the brain, boosts our immune system and increases our confidence and can improve family relationships.
In today’s stressful world depression and anxiety are becoming a huge problem! After suffering from major depression last year and nothing was helping, Becky suddenly discovered laughter therapy, it has completely changed her life and those around her. She is now a Happiness guru with a life purpose of leaving a little laughter and happiness with as many people as possible. During the workshop, Becky will be diffusing some joyful essential oils to help boost your enjoyment even further.
We will end the laughter hour with a laughter meditation and create a Humanity Carpet as we come together and unite in happiness.
We will follow the hour of Laughter Yoga with an hour long Gong Bath.
Our Gong Bath events are a unique experience and are designed to help release built up stress. Deeply relaxing and enjoyable, Gong Baths are also known as sound bathing, because the body becomes immersed in relaxing sound waves. The Evening Standard called Gong Baths “Noisy Meditation” as the mind has the potential to relax while listening. Not only will you hear the sound waves but you will feel them too! The lower frequency sound waves act in a similar way to deep tissue massage.
We have run over 100 events of this type, and people love the experience, some report a lovely warm feeling surrounding them, others report a tingling and very relaxing sensation. We use different instruments, such as rattles, crystal bowls, drums and our gong. We use a variety of instruments to help maximize the effects and also make the events more interesting and exciting for you.
To compliment the laughter yoga session, our Gong Bath will focus on heart expanding higher frequencies. We will finish with nurturing and grounding sound frequencies to bring you gently back to earth.
We hope you will thoroughly enjoy the Laughter Yoga and Sound session and hope you will leave us feeling lighter of heart and buzzing with energy.
