Sandira runs a Gong Bath/ Meditation night on the first Wednesday and third Tuesday of every month from 7.30 to 8.30pm @ her home. £8.

We also have a new night, the first Sunday of every month at 7pm. @ The Camden Academy,
12 Castlehaven Rd, (unit 11-first floor) Camden Town, London NW1 8QW £10

Sometimes called Sound or Sonic Baths, these meditations are deeply relaxing as we let go on a mental, emotional and physical level. Universal sound resonates through us, right down to the cellular level and unblocks old patterns of resistance, leaving us calm and centred. Sometimes we zone out or go into trance (little dream states) and sort out our lives as well.

Each night will start with a little guided meditation, or vocal toning on a chakra or body organ, Sandira then sounds the gongs, Tibetan singing bowls and chrystal bowls in a whole body sound bath. Each chakra has its equivalent tone and Gong or Tibetan singing bowl.
We drop naturally into deep mediation as the sounds resonate through out our whole body, re-aligning the energy points and chakras. Massaging our internal organs and re-tuning us so we resonate with the divine spirit.

Please wear comfortable clothing as you will be sitting on a cushion or lying on the rugs in this calm, peaceful and holistic space. Please contact Sandira from the contact page for the address.

Odd to see Jill Purce's name on here, but I'd be surprised if she's not into Leonard (I know she has friends/acquaintances in the Belsize Road area who are!).

as mediated by a dubliner - an unorthodox remedy for her depression :

...‘I suffered for 50 years and then I found a wonderful cure — if you like that word — having tried every combination of medication and spending a small fortune on psychiatrists,’ Brenda explains.

‘I found this guy in Dublin who does a quite amazing treatment with Mozart’s music.

It takes three months, and you listen to Mozart for two hours every morning for a week and then you have a break of about a month and then you go back and you listen to Mozart again every morning for another week or ten days.

‘You lie down and go to sleep after that. Then you have three more weeks off, and go back and you are cured.
‘It is an extraordinary thing to go through,’ she adds.

‘As I said, 50 years of your life battling with this devil every day and suddenly it’s gone. It really is like a miracle — and you see the world with clear eyes for the first time. You can walk down the street without being terrified. You can think clearly.

‘When you’re as depressed as I was, you’ll try anything. I went in not expecting anything and at the end of three months I walked out and it was gone.

‘I’ve sent about five people and they’ve all been cured. These were people who’d got to the stage where they were standing on the bridge waiting to jump, you know? And they’re all laughing now’...
