Those who have been fortunate enough to visit

Cranleigh House will agree with me when I say it is a

very special place. As soon as you enter the building a

state of calm envelopes you; a peaceful vibe that

enables you to leave life’s worries at the door.

 

A typical weekend at Cranleigh house gives visitors a

multitude of opportunities to take part in well-being

practices. A perfect example of this is the one day yoga

and mindfulness workshop that we hosted on May 1st.

 

The day included a lovely yoga lesson from Katherine,

talks and discussions on mindfulness lead by Jo, and

group sitting and walking meditations. There are a huge

number of benefits to being mindful, including increased

concentration and clarity of thinking, and decreased

stress and anxiety.

This workshop allowed participants

to learn mindfulness practices to take forward into their

daily life, so the long-term benefits can be enjoyed.

 

To follow the workshop, a beautiful sound bath took

place, where Zara used a wide range of instruments

(including her singing voice) to create wonderful, healing

sounds and vibrations. We were bathed in tranquility

created by sound for one hour, which initiated a deep

sense of calm and peace throughout the mind, body and

soul. When we experience crystal singing bowls,

stronger energy begins to run in the body, pushing

against physical, emotional and energetic blockages.

Consequently, sound baths offer not only the

spaciousness for self-connection, but also the incredible

opportunity for deeper healing through the experience of

the sounds and vibrations created.

 

To end the day, we had a bring & share dinner which

included a delicious array of vegetarian and raw

delights. Giving our bodies an essential nutrient boost

to contribute to physical health and vitality provides the

perfect foundation for mental and emotional well-being.

It was also a great opportunity for like-minded souls to

come together and share experiences in a non-dogmatic

space. Therefore nurturing not only our bellies, but our

souls too

 

Not only is Cranleigh house a venue for a peaceful B&B

getaway or a life-changing detox retreat, it is a place for

healing; for learning through sharing knowledge and

experience, where beautiful people can gather to share

love and joy. Overall, it has been a great start to May in

the Cranleigh household, a place that is bursting at the

seams with kindness and positivity.
