…MEDITATION FOR SOUND HEALING?

Meditating at home can be a simple way to manage stress on a regular basis. ‘With regular practice, meditation tells our bodies that we are safe to relax, repair and heal,’ says Sophie Andrews from heartworktherapies. com. Sound healing works in a similar way, she adds. ‘You’re guided through a meditation using spoken word, vibrational tools and breathing techniques.’

THE VERDICT: ‘Anyone can take part in sound healing effectively – no learnt practice or lessons are required – making it the more accessible option,’ explains Sophie Andrews.

TRY: Listening to nature. Research** shows it can reduce our body’s natural fight-or-flight instinct. Or head to ‘Healing Vibrations’ on Youtube for a singing bowl sound bath.
