✨ A heartfelt Thank You ✨
Yesterday's Sound Baths in Athenry and Athlone were truly beautiful. I'm still feeling the magic of these experiences and I'm so grateful for everyone who joined me.
Thank you for showing up, for your openness and for giving sound a chance to reach you in its own unique way. Your kind words, your feedback, and hearing how deeply sound resonated with you means so much to me💜.
Seeing and hearing how sound affected you is a reminder of why I love sharing these sessions with you.

I arrive early to prepare the room and this is the most stressful part. I wanna be ready on your arrival and there is so much that needs to be done in 30 minutes: carrying all the instruments into the venue, setting them up, lighting up the candles (when it comes to candles, saying "less is more" doesn't exist, but this is just me😁 ), cleansing the energy in the room including myself. When all this is done, I like to make myself a cup of tea and keep it close during the session. I then take a moment for myself to connect with my inner Guru, with my instruments, I surrender to that moment and only then I am ready to welcome you to the session. Some people are calm, some are nervous; not knowing what to expect, some people are little bit shy, but that's ok - there is enough room for all kinds of emotions and everyone is welcome. When you are ready and comfortable on your mat/chair, I bring the first sounds gently. This is when you are still trying to control your busy mind and keep your eyes closed or stop the twitching of your eyelids😁 As the sound goes on, your mind slows down, your face feels more relaxed and you start feeling yourself arrive. You can feel pulsating sensation around your head, like a waves gently caressing sides of your head. Maybe you can notice gentle, buzzing energy around your abdomen and pelvis. You are deeply relaxed, and it's ok to allow yourself to snooze. Usually at this point I feel very relaxed too, but I do not allow myself to drift away because someone needs to be in charge 🤪
Oh, did you know how difficult it is to play a crystal singing bowl and make pictures at the same time? If you ever hear woozy sound it's becuase I was photo shooting 😁📸 Alright, that's enough information for today. I'm afraid I'm self-sabotaging my practice by telling you about my little secrets...

What if, for one evening, you could put the whole world down? 💜
No rushing.
No notifications.
No list of things you should be doing.
Just an evening to lie down, close your eyes and let beautiful sounds fill the space around you.
A Sound Bath is not something you have to do.
There is nothing to achieve.
Nothing to get right.
You simply arrive, make yourself comfortable, and allow yourself to be carried by the sounds of crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, gong and chimes.
And something beautiful can happen when we give ourselves permission to truly slow down.
Your mind gets a little quieter.
Your breathing can naturally become slower.
Your body gets a chance to rest.
Research into sound-based relaxation suggests that calming auditory experiences can influence the body's stress response, with studies reporting changes in measures such as heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol. Research specifically exploring singing bowls is also showing promising effects, although this is an area where science is still developing.
And perhaps that's why the experience doesn't necessarily end when the final sound fades.
You take a little of that quiet with you.
Maybe you drive home feeling lighter.
Maybe the evening feels softer.
Maybe you sleep beautifully that night.
Or perhaps you simply catch yourself thinking:
“I needed that.”
That is what I want my Sound Baths to be.
A little pocket of stillness in your life.
A place where you don't have to be productive, strong, busy or anything for anyone.
Just you. 🤍
And because I know these are uncertain times, I want my Sound Baths to remain accessible.
I promise I won't raise my ticket prices.
Because I don't want this to feel like something you can only give yourself when everything else in life is going perfectly.
You deserve the hour.

What if your Sound Bath didn't end when you walked out of the room? ✨
The last note fades.
You open your eyes.
You get up and go home.
But sometimes… something has changed.

For an hour, you have stepped away from notifications, conversations, responsibilities and the constant noise of everyday life.
You have been lying still, listening deeply, breathing, and allowing your attention to settle.
And your body and mind can carry some of that sense of quiet with you.

Research into sound-based interventions suggests that calming auditory experiences can influence the body's stress response, including measures such as heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol. Research specifically looking at singing bowls is also showing promising effects on psychological and physiological wellbeing, although the science is still developing.
So perhaps the most beautiful part isn't what happens during the Sound Bath.
It's what happens after.

Maybe you drive home feeling a little softer.
Maybe your thoughts aren't racing quite as much.
Maybe you sleep more deeply that night.
Maybe you wake up the next morning and realise:
“I really needed that.”
This is why I don't see a Sound Bath as just one hour of listening to beautiful sounds.
It is an invitation to pause.
To breathe.
To let your nervous system experience a different pace.
And to take a little of that feeling home with you. 🤍
You don't have to wait until you're completely exhausted to give yourself an hour of peace.
And because I know these are uncertain times, I've made a promise to my Sound Family:
I won't raise my Sound Bath ticket prices.
I want this experience to remain something you can choose for yourself — not an occasional luxury, but a little pocket of peace you can return to.

We are slowly stepping back into the darker season... 🌙
And somehow, this is when the Sound Immersions become even more beautiful.
Because it's only in the darkness that we can see the magic of light✨
The changing season invites us to slow down, soften, and create more space within ourselves. And I am looking forward to dive deep into these cozy dark evenings💜
I have this feeling, that this season will bring us beautiful opportunity to release and heal. As always I can't wait to return to our beautiful and serene and welcome my sound family 💜

✨ Cacao & Sound Bath Loughrea ✨
This evening is an invitation to reconnect with yourself, find stillness, and experience the beauty of community in a safe and supportive space. Whether you are new to cacao and sound healing or already familiar, you are warmly welcomed.
Together, we will share our cacao, followed by a gentle ritual to create a sacred and nurturing space. Through meditation, breath, and sound, we will journey inward, allowing the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls and other beautiful sounds.
During the sound journey, allow yourself to simply rest, receive, and be held by the waves of vibration. Each sound carries its own unique energy, creating a deeply relaxing and transformative experience.
It is my honour to hold this space and share this experience with you. I look forward to welcoming you for an evening filled with connection, peace, and heart-opening moments. 💜

With love,
Marta

✨ A Heart-Opening Evening of Cacao & Sound in Athlone ✨
My heart is so full after yesterday's Cacao Ceremony & Sound Bath. 💜
Many of our guests experienced ceremonial-grade cacao for the very first time. Before sharing our cups together, everyone had the opportunity to nibble on the raw cacao, exploring its rich, earthy flavour and connecting with this beautiful plant in its most natural form.
We began with a gentle sage smudging ritual, followed by a moment of prayer before sharing our cacao together. From there, we settled into a deeply relaxing sound journey, allowing the vibrations to calm the mind, soften the body, and open the heart.
One of the highlights, as always, was the beautiful sound of the singing chime—it never fails to bring smiles and a sense of wonder.
This session was extra special for me because my daughter, Mariana, joined me by playing the Tibetan singing bowls throughout the journey. Watching her become part of these events fills my heart with so much joy 💜
Thank you to everyone who came with an open heart and trusted me to hold this space. It is such an honour to share these evenings with you.
Until next time, With love, Sound & Light ✨

Marta💜
