Sound Bath in Westbourne, near Emsworth
Slow Down Sunday in Westbourne
Slow Down Sunday: a monthly late-morning sound bath at the WOW Clinic, Westbourne.
​
Sunday mornings can disappear in a blur of jobs, errands and everyone else’s plans. This one is yours. Through the studio’s floor-to-ceiling windows there’s nothing but field and sky, and for an hour the only thing to do is lie down and listen.
​
Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls and chimes fill the room. Your breathing slows and your mind stops running ahead to Monday. You leave just after midday with the rest of Sunday feeling longer than it did.​
Benefits may include:
-
Reduced stress and anxiety
-
Improved sleep
-
Emotional release
-
Mental clarity
-
A sense of inner calm and grounding

Upcoming dates​​
What to bring
A yoga mat, a blanket (your body cools down as you relax), a pillow, an eye mask if you like one, and water. Wear something comfortable.
Please arrive 5–10 minutes early, because the door closes once we begin.
Who would benefit from a sound bath?
Anyone who could do with an hour of proper rest. You don’t need any meditation experience or spiritual beliefs.
If lying down isn’t comfortable, you can sit in a comfy chair. Some people drift off, some people’s minds wander the whole time, and both are completely normal.
What happens in a sound bath?
The session lasts an hour, and about 45 minutes of that is sound. I start with a short settling-in practice, then slowly build the soundscape with crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls and chimes. At the end I gently bring you back. There’s nothing to do except lie there.
