Have you ever lost your hearing? It seems to happen to me once a year; my ears get blocked and the sound begins to fade. Thankfully, I maintained some degree of hearing this time, but it wasn't far off completely vanishing.
As of Saturday morning, my ears were unblocked and I can hear again! It was just in time for my Yoga Garden sound bath. It was truly wonderful to be able to hear again!
For me, it demonstrates how intrinsically connected with are with sound and how we connect with the world. I felt emotional to hear not just the instruments I played with full clarity, but the sounds of nature around us. The call of the owls within the suthering trees. Deep resonance of the rutting stags, who seemed to vibrate the very earth itself. Each tiny rustling creature rummaging and organising the new leaf fall, and the incredible display of the roosting jackdaws as they painted the sky black.
What an evening it was. Thank you to all who joined me. I hope you had as good a time as I did!
The next sound bath in this beautiful venue will be in the log fire warmed stillness of December.
