Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Christmas sound bath?

Crystal Alchemy Sound Baths are a holistic, complementary health care practice which enhances and stimulates the mind and body’s ability to heal itself. The Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls are designed for healing and wellbeing. Many people describe feeling deeply relaxed and calm afterwards. The result is a deep sense of wellbeing and calm. The Alchemy bowl’s tones and vibrations fill the space to create a deeply sensory experience. The effects can be felt almost immediately with improvements and transformations claimed across a wide range of conditions.

What a Sound Bath is not…
A Sound Bath is not a substitute for medical examination, diagnosis treatment or medications. Nor is it a one-to-one therapeutic session. Practitioners do not diagnose conditions, nor do they prescribe substances or perform medical treatment, nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional.

Please note that all guests are responsible for their own health and wellbeing during and after the sound bath.

Precautions + Contraindications

Epilepsy
According to the Epilepsy Action support services there is a rare form of epilepsy, where music or sound (bells, music, humming, buzzing, animals, and car horns, etc.) can trigger an epileptic seizure. The sound is usually very unique to the person who will usually be aware of their own triggers. This is linked to those people with brain lesions which are usually detected early in life and most clients will be fully aware of their condition and triggers and would more than likely avoid this type of treatment. Sound Baths are not suitable for people with epilepsy.

Mental Health
Mental illness can range from anxiety, depression and mood disorders (that have a severe and tangible effect on your emotions and motivation), to psychotic disorders like schizophrenia, (that affect your perceptions or senses with delusions or hallucinations). Living with any of these can be debilitating. We rely on our senses, emotions, and perceptions to get us through the day. When any of those fail, it can make life difficult. Sound Baths are not suitable for people with severe or clinical mental health conditions.

Implants or plates in the body (metal plates, pins, ball joints in particular) 
An implant is a medical synthetic device manufactured to replace or support or enhance a biological structure. The surface of implants that are in contact with the body might be made of a biomedical material such as titanium, silicone, or apatite. In some cases implants contain electronics e.g. artificial pacemaker and cochlear implants. The vibrations we experience through sound healing may cause discomfort through the vibration of the sound and the implant. It is advisable make an informed decision and seek advice from your GP if you are concerned. 

Minors (under the age of 18)
We do not offer Crystal Sonic Therapy or Sound Baths of any description to minors under the age of 18. Minors can attend, however, they must be accompanied by their parent or guardian. The minor must be old enough to lie still for 75 minutes as to not disturb the other guests.

What should I bring to the sound bath at Newark Park?

Yoga mats, blankets pillows and eye pillows are all provided. We will try and keep the room toasty but that said  its an old house in December so do dress up warm with lots of layers! Your temperature will drop during the sound bath too so rather have lots of layers your can remove then too few.
