Restorative Body Scan - A Guided Sound Bath

Much of the body is controlled through unconscious signals from the brain. This process is called interoception.
Scientists have learned that we do in fact, have some control over these signals & that by relaxing ourselves in a safe, & comforting environment we disrupt negative signals caused by stress & replace them with positive ones.
We can even pinpoint specific areas of the body with focused attention hijack our interoception to replace tension & cortisol with ease and endorphins.
