What is a Sound Bath?
A Sound Bath is a time for your own inward journey. This journey will be experienced in the deep frequencies of sound. Feel your way through a myriad of tonal vibrations. Sound Healing instruments may include Gongs, Crystal Bowls, Drums, Tongue drum, Sansula, chimes, Koshi, flutes and more. A sound bath is a sonic vacation, no skills required. Make yourself comfortable sit or lie down as you let the sounds wash over you. Some sounds shake up and move energy, other sounds take you into deep relaxation. Sit with these sounds and allow yourself to be curious as to what these sounds bring up for you. A Sound Bath allows you to clear your emotional field by sitting with your emotions as they rise up and practicing letting them go. The Key ingredient in a Sound experience is getting quiet and sitting with whatever comes up. Allowing the mix of Sound Bath and modern sounds to be heard and released.

Sovereign Queen Tara Semple
The sands of time slip through our fingers Until our eyes take the light
Messages from soul, it lingers
Our voice, our eyes, our light
Sovereign Queen is calling, calling
Life pulls together when you are falling. Contraction, Expansion, moving and broken Listen to the words not yet spoken
With falling apart illusions are crumbling
The well crafted story unwinds
The walls you mortared cemented in place No longer hold water and now are displaced
The weight is not lifted the mask has grown thin The true self can not fit in
She twists, transforms, new spaces she finds Daylight & movement for the very first time
If you could see the you we see, imperfect raw and real You know how love truly feels
Opening your heart, allowing others to come in Creates a richer life, than you could ever dream
The sands of time slips through our fingers Until our eyes take the light
Messages from soul it lingers
Our voice, our eyes our light Our voice, our guide, our light
