Floating Sound Bath With Reiki

Floating Sound Bath With Reiki is back at Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre on Tuesday 24 November, one of several dates running across the autumn and winter. The session takes place in the swimming pool, where you spend the full ninety minutes drifting on a floating lounger rather than sitting on a mat on the floor. It's a sound bath combined with Reiki, so you're floating in the water while the sound and the energy work happen around you.

If you've never done a sound bath before, the basic idea is that you lie back and let the sound wash over you, usually from singing bowls or gongs, rather than following a melody or a beat. Adding Reiki into the mix brings in the energy work side of things. Doing it while floating in a pool changes the whole experience — you're weightless, and the water carries the sound differently than a room does. It's a long session, ninety minutes in total, so there's plenty of time to actually settle in and let go.

This isn't a one-off, either. It's part of a wider run of Tuesday nights that started back in October and keeps going through the end of the year. The dates are 13, 20, 27 October; 3, 10, 17, 24 November; and 1, 8, 15 December, so if the 24th doesn't work, you've got other Tuesdays to choose from. Each one is the same format: ninety minutes of floating in the pool with the sound and Reiki working together.

It all happens at Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre, in the Westminster Lodge Swimming Pool on Holywell Hill, St Albans, AL1 2DJ. The sessions start at 20:00 and run for ninety minutes, and tickets are £46.80.
