Sound Healing, Breathwork & Reiki for Mind, Body & Soul

Breathwork is a breathing technique that involves intentionally changing your breathing pattern. It can be used to improve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.  There are different types of breathwork including box breathing, alternate nostril breathing, diaphragmatic breathing and pranayama breathing. Lois is trained and qualified to teach Soma breathwork. Soma breathwork uses rhythmic breathing synchronised to music. It also incorporates a breath hold, as made famous by the Wimm Hoff method of breathing. Lois decided to learn this form of breathwork as there is an abundance of research on its effect on mental health symptoms. Research suggests it can significantly reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety. It does this by lowering cortisol levels as well as blood pressure and heart rate, which can help to improve your sleep.  Lois uses breathwork in a way that incorporates breathing techniques, movement, meditation, sound, touch, and emotional release.

Somatic movement Involves slow movement which pays attention to your internal and physical sensations in your body has less regard for the external appearance. Somatic movement can be used to let go of stress, relive pain, release muscle tension or improve posture.

Lois incorporates somatic movement and yin yoga (slow held stretches) within her classes as part of an integrative approach to healing.

Sound healing helps to influence brainwave frequencies, enabling a person to enter an altered state of consciousness like very deep relaxation. Sound healing can help to shift your brain waves to a certain frequency through a process called entrainment. Which is when your brain synchronises its waves to the same frequency of the gong and crystal bowls. These specific frequencies speak directly to the cells in your body to improve wellbeing and help to reduce stress. Lois uses various instruments in her classes including Gong, crystal bowls, chimes and flute.

Reiki is an ancient energy healing from Japan which channels the life force energy to heal every aspect of you mind, body and spirit. Reiki teaches that there are seven chakras within our bodies, the crown, the third eye, the throat, the heart, the solar plexus, the sacral and the root. When any one of these chakras become blocked with stagnant energy it can cause a whole host of physical and emotional symptoms. The reiki healing allows this energy to unblock, allowing you to speak your truth, expressing yourself and opens your heart after any heart break, grief or loss. You may feel these negative emotions which we have been taught to bury come up, if you do it is important to let the body do what it needs to do to heal and to let go, for your greatest good. Lois incorporates a reiki meditation within her sessions to help exaggerate the effects of the sound.

Voice activation encourages humming and singing in a group setting with the use of singing bowls or Shruti box as accompaniment. This allows for deep inner child healing for individuals who may have experienced any kind of trauma. This could be as simple as being told to “be quiet” or for being “too loud’ as a child. This allows individuals to rediscover themselves, to find their inner voice and rebuild their confidence and sense of self. Research suggests group singing has significant improvements in both mental and physical health. This is because it increases oxygen levels and triggers the release of oxytocin, which helps to improve mood and relieve stress. Lois utilises voice activation within her classes.
