The healing power of sound!
I remember rocking up to my first sound healing session in a cosy studio somewhere in Clapham pretty sure I was paying to have a lie-down while listening to someone banged on some bowls, and I'm pretty sure that's what you might be thinking too but I was so wrong…
Hello anxiety, my old friend…

If you’ve never set an intention but are someone who loves to set yourself goals, I urge you to try this.
