What does a Flow into Wellness Session involve?

Each session is an hour and 15 minutes long and takes place in the yurt at Haven House, in Wick, in Caithness. The format stays the same in each session, but the content varies. The session begins with breathing techniques, followed by visualisation and meditation. Participants are then guided through a creative technique, which can be anything from mark making to using natural elements as creative tools. The session then flows into some movement, in the form of qigong, dance or intuitive movement, and then finishes with sound healing, with a variety of sounds produced from different instruments.

What is the Flow State?

It is the total absorption in an activity, where concentration is focused completely, and the distractions of the mind fade. Flow activities bring you completely into the present moment, and create space for the mind to relax and let go. When the mind relaxes, we enable space for energy to begin to flow, and opportunity for the body to release any stagnation. Regular Flow State practices promote and boost feelings of wellbeing.

The Benefits

Breathwork – Breathwork involves utilising different breathing techniques like diaphragmatic breathing to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, in order to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. Breathwork improves focus, reduces stress, and boosts overall performance by enhancing oxygen flow to the brain and muscles. Studies have shown that controlled breathing techniques can lower heart rate, decrease blood pressure, and improve mental clarity.

Meditation – Meditation offers numerous benefits for individuals of all backgrounds and lifestyles. Scientific research has shown that regular meditation practice can reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. It can also improve focus, concentration, and cognitive function.

Creativity – Engaging in creative activities has numerous benefits for individuals of all ages. Research shows that participating in creative endeavours such as painting, writing, or crafting can have a positive impact on both mental and physical well-being.

 Qigong and Dru Yoga – Qigong and movement practices offer numerous benefits for both the mind and body. Qigong, a traditional Chinese exercise system that combines movement, meditation, and controlled breathing, has been shown to reduce stress, improve balance, increase flexibility, and enhance overall well-being. Dru yoga is a style of yoga that works with postures, breath work, relaxation and meditation. Its series or sequences are called Energy Block Release. This yoga style has thousands of practitioners in 31 countries. Scientific studies have demonstrated that regular practice of qigong and flowing sequences can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Sound Healing – Studies have also demonstrated the positive effects of sound healing on mental health, with participants reporting improved mood, increased feelings of calmness, and enhanced focus and concentration. The vibrations produced during sound baths are believed to help balance the body’s energy centres, or chakras, and promote a sense of harmony and inner peace. Incorporating sound baths into a wellness routine can provide a soothing and therapeutic experience that supports both physical and emotional health.
