The Sound Eye

Child Friendly Sessions start with a short 5-10 minute active meditation to help build mindfulness habits. The meditation can be done sitting or laying on your mat or you can stand and move your body as appropriate with the meditation. After the meditation I will invite everyone to sit/lay down on their mats and we will move into the sound therapy. There is no expectation to lay still on your mat for the whole session, but I do request that you keep noise to a minimum so as not to interrupt the session.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. There is no minimum age required, you know your child(ren) best. However, I do ask that all children attending are able to follow 3 simple rules.

1. Stay in the room during the session. (If they need to leave for any reason I request that you go with them.)
2. Do not touch any of my equipment unless I hand it to them.
3. Do not touch any of the adults except the one they came with.

As in the traditional sessions, I provide yoga mats, pillows, eye mask pillows, and a blanket. I also provide a box a quiet fidget toys. You are welcome to bring anything else you would like to bring to make yourself comfortable but I do request that if you are bringing your own fidgets they are quiet so as not to interfere with the session for other attendees. You are welcome to get up and change fidgets from my box during the session as well. I suggest bringing a water bottle as people often find they are ready for a drink at the end of a session.

You will make yourself comfortable however that looks for you. You people choose to lay, some people like to sit. Some change positions during the session. The session starts with a gentle invitation to relax and I will begin the session. Every session is unique and adapted to the vibrations and energy in the room at the time. Some sesions are completely free-flowing, some are chakra focused. The actual sound session lasts between 30 and 40 minutes and if children are present in the session I do try to include them, especially toward the end of the session. I will gently bring you back into awareness and you will have some time to come back to yourself and gather your belongings.
