Sound Bath Meditation and Reiki Treat yourself to a session that will focus on rest and relaxation, where you will be 'bathed' in sound frequencies and vibrations that will encourage a deep and peaceful state. Through a combination of rhythm, vibration, melody and tone, Anita will create a sonorous soundscape with her carefully chosen instruments, vocals and intuitive musicality while you lie down in stillness and serenity. This special session will also include reiki from Reneé. The details of what to expect with this modality are outlined further below. What to Bring: Comfy mats and bolsters will be provided however please bring your own pillow, blanket, eye pillow - whatever you need to make yourself comfortable as you will be lying down for an hour. Reiki & What To Expect: Reiki means universal life energy and is a hands on practice transferring energy for relaxation and healing. It is a gentle complementary therapy and it is common to become sleepy receiving reiki, experience tummy rumbles or sometimes release some tears and/or emotion. However in this mini treatment, you can most likely expect to experience deeper relaxation and receptivity to the sound healing. If you prefer the reiki element as non contact, please let Anita or Reneé know on entering the session. It is important that you feel comfortable. About Anita Emor Anita Emor, of ‘Emora Suara’, is deeply passionate about holding space in sound and conscious silence for relaxation, healing and meditation. 'Emora' is derived from her surname and initials, and 'suara' translates to ‘voice’ or ‘sound’ in bahasa, the primary language of Indonesia, where Anita’s heritage resides. Anita’s journey into sound goes back to her ancestral roots, through her parents who are from North Sulawesi, Indonesia. From a very young age sound and music played a vital part of growing up through singing, playing instruments, dancing, and experiencing live music. Her mother believes that her sound lineage began from when she was in her mother's womb, when her mother was pregnant with her and was teaching a style of traditional Indonesian dancing. The transference of sound, beats and melodies during this period may explain why she has such a strong tendency to move and create when certain music is played! Clearly the vibrations were strong! Her first introduction to sound bath journeys started when she lived in Los Angeles in 2018 and regularly attended sessions which involved crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, ocean drums. She found sound bath sessions that integrated other modalities; reiki, breath work, yin yoga and vocal toning, to be deeply beneficial. These sessions helped with her healing and rebalancing as she worked in an extremely stressful job in post production and was experiencing some confronting personal challenges at the time. She found the positive and immediately impactful benefits of the sound vibrations and synchronous healing modalities quite effective in balancing her mental, physical and spiritual health. When Anita moved back to her home town Perth during the height of the covid pandemic in 2020, she continued to attend sound baths and felt led to hold space for relaxation and healing for others, in the way the sound had effected her in the sessions she attended in LA. It presented a natural transition to integrate her musical aptitude and inclination with the powerful healing benefits of the sound frequencies. Whilst Anita continued to work in post production, she completed a course in Sound Journey Facilitation with her teacher and mentor, Nicole Lloyd (Sound Birth Australia). After various 1-1 mentoring sessions with Nicole, the world of facilitating and creating sound journeys took precedence. Anita’s personal journey in sound is based on the principle of instinctual trust and alignment with her engagement and involvement with people and projects that are heart led. Her intentions with this work is to focus on creating safe spaces, educating and forging positive connections with individuals and the community, which she believes is imperative to maintaining good health and wellbeing. Finding bliss and play during these moments are also of importance. Anita facilitates regular sound bath journeys and workshops at various spaces in Perth Boorloo with individuals and small groups. She also holds space in sound with children and teens with In School Yoga. She looks forward to holding and sharing space in sound with you! About Renee Renee is a Perth Reiki Practitioner.
