The first quarter moon is a week into the new moon cycle. It's a great time to take stock of how you are travelling and whether you are on track to where you want to be.

By timing our own cycles to the moon, our bodies will naturally recharge faster, giving us more energy for the rest of the month. 

On Saturday 26th August, Laura Luck will be hosting a Sound Bath with journeying meditation on the deck at Bunyaville. 

Surrounded by the sounds of the bush, it will be an opportunity to release unwanted energies, prime your nervous system, travel into your subconscious mind and reset your operating intentions to align with your present self.

Beginning with deep pranayama (breathwork) and a journeying meditation, this sound journey is an immersion into the vibrational energy of your being. This August soundbath is at the cusp of the new moon for spring, and its focus will be on new beginnings.

In yoga, sound is one of the highest means of experience and practice. Known as Nada Yoga, it is the exploration of your physical self as sound. We work with the sound to create a resonance for ourselves and our lives that aligns to our best intentions. It is a way to become more in harmony with the natural world and within our bodies.

A Sound Bath is where you rest completely and allow the sounds to wash over and through you. Sound therapy has been used by many cultures throughout history as a means for deep healing. Just as we feel the urge to dance in our bodies, our cells also resonate and recalibrate with the sounds around us.

The instruments in sound healing are particularly rich and designed to help our bodies tune into more harmonious frequencies. Often after a sound bath, it can feel as if every cell in our body is vibrating.

Laura accesses a wealth of knowledge and history in her sound journeys to help guide the mind and body through whatever it needs to release.

On the most basic level, a sound bath is a very deep meditation induced by sound, but often older injuries or wounds may resurface to continue their healing.

Laura has been teaching yoga internationally and locally for over 13 years. Trained at the foot of enlightened master Clarissa Mitchell for 3 years in the UK before embarking on her 200 hr teacher training at the Unity School in Brighton in 2009, Laura's focus in yoga has always been about finding the truth.

A vipassana meditator and Raja yoga practitioner, sound healing is a natural extension of her yoga practice spanning over 27 years.

One of the first teachers to teach yin yoga in Brisbane, Laura completed her training in Sound Healing through Shift Meditation in Amsterdam and with Dr John Beaulieu through the Shift Network.
