Relaxing Into Sleep - A Magical Night(meditation)

Story time

On the evening of 13 August 2022 I was on Brighton beach with my family for a birthday BBQ. It was a super hot day and the crowds were starting to head home. 

My sister had told me this was the night the Sturgeon Moon (basically when the moon is massive and red) was due to rise.

We stayed on the beach past sunset and as it got dark a group of street drummers began to play. It was a kind of hypnotising transcendental beat. I took a little voice memo recording of them playing on my phone. 

The moon rose, and it was quite a spectacle; otherworldly.

Anyway, I forgot all about that night until this week when I found the drumming voice memo on my phone. I used it as a loop to write a song about the rising of the supermoon.

Now here’s the thing.. I want to release the song but first I need to track down that mystery drumming group to ask permission to use the recording!

I’ll let you know how I get on… 

If you a) live in Brighton and b) recognise the drumming, please let me know!!

Sturgeon Moon

Track 1: Relaxation Soundbath with therapeutic percussion/grounding (33.37)
Track 2: Relaxation Soundbath without therapeutic percussion (28.18) can be used to help encourage sleep

Relaxation Soundbath - Lay back and relax in the comfort of your own home and allow the beautiful sounds and tones of Gongs, Himalayan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, Rainsticks and other therapeutic percussion instruments to wash over you, enhancing overall health of mind and body. The playing techniques employed by Ruth in her Sounds Baths, have been proven to relax on a deep level by lowering brainwaves to a level that is similar to meditation and encouraging your mind and body to rest. The effect is that cortisol (the stress hormone) reduces, blood pressure and heart rates are lowered, potassium & sodium levels in the body are rebalanced and cellular regeneration can take place which, in turn, helps our autonomic nervous system to restore. Proven to relax on a deeper level than other relaxation methods. For the best experience we recommend you wear headphones whilst listening to the soundbaths.

Originally released on 23rd August 2017 - now re-mastered

Idle Zealots - There is no other

Stillness and Movement - Native American flute (E), shruti (G)and drum 

This track came about as I was playing with the idea of Stillness and Movement, the art of bringing the elements of yoga, tai chi, qigong, energy dance, intuitive movement and sound into one beautiful practice. This song was in my head every time I began to move and so, I recorded it! This track takes us through moving from a place of stillness into intuitive movement, listening inwardly to how our body wants to move and stretch, feeling our way to health and wellbeing, enjoy.
