It's becoming extremely easy to access high quality sound bath sessions from well-trained professionals, and it's so exciting that more and more people are being drawn into the powerful vortex of personal development and healing that sound frequencies offer us. But sound healing doesn't have to be something you can only experience in a yoga studio, or at a festival, or even in a therapeutic or clinical space.Remember - you are sound, and sound is everywhere. It's everyth ing.You can tap into your own sound healing journey any time you like. This book is intended as a guide, a workbook, to help you capture healing and harmony through a new connection to the sounds that shape your life, and a new awareness of the physical, mental and emotional impact that sound can have on your own personal experience of the world, and on your wellbeing.To make best use of this book, you're invited to make it an interactive experience.

Start to notice the sonic detail of your life.
