SOUND BATH IN GRATITUDE, LOVE & GIVING

Join us for a transformative sound healing experience led by Chetal Patel. This Soundbath is centered around the themes of gratitude, love, and giving, helping you cultivate deep inner peace and connection. Using a variety of sound instruments, including crystal singing bowls and gongs, Chetal will guide you on a meditative journey to release tension, restore balance, and open your heart to the powerful vibrations of gratitude and love. This session will leave you feeling grounded, renewed, and aligned with the energy of giving and receiving. Prepare to relax, reset, and nurture your mind, body, and soul.
ABOUT CHETAL PATEL: Chetal is a Sound Healer, Reiki Master, Breathwork Coach, and a B.E.S.T Practitioner. She has been working with sound for a year and it has helped her with her anxiety and manage her expectations, as she thrives in being a perfectionist. Sound is energy, and if an individual puts this energy into the crystal bowls, it will receive energy in return. Due to its nature, you can amplify, convert and transmit this energy to a higher form. Crystal alchemy singing bowls are powerful, photon activating sonic tools which raise our vibrational frequency. They release stuck energy, promote wellness and bring shifts in consciousness to our lives and to humanity. All Chetal’s sound baths are Reiki infused. Her classes are ideal for individuals who want to use sound to treat stress, anxiety, heal deep emotional wounds, grief, traumas, sleeplessness, abdication, burnout and depression. The alchemies in the bowls build energy circuits to house unconditional love.
