I've been moving through exciting and challenging times lately, venturing out into the world in new ways. I gave my first in-person soundbath of the year on Saturday at Ecstatic Dance Bristol's equinox gathering, in a beautiful repurposed church in Bristol. It was a deeply nourishing experience that has also left me in need of some deep self-care.
This track is a sound resource i've created to help me meet this need for self-care as i go about my work. It's an invitation to briefly and gently return to center, and to let some excess, stressy energy go, washed away by the sounds of the ocean.
I recommend breathing consciously and deeply as you listen - in through the nose, imagining the smell of the salty sea air, and out through the mouth, releasing some tension :)
The ocean sound was recorded at Dinas Dinlle beach in North Wales, with Yr Eifl, a mountain on the Llŷn Peninsula, in the background. To me, the waves lapping the shores of this part of the country have a special kind of calming, cleansing feel to them, and the presence of the mountain adds a sense of groundedness and stability.
I hope that it helps you to shake off a little stress.
With love,
Maia ❤
