A GUIDE TO SOUND THERAPY with Urmi Sound at END. x New Balance "Art of Nothing" Workshop

Urmi Sound is made up of London-based sound artists Joseph and Dan. Their collaboration weaves their studies of meditation and music to offer immersive and powerful sound experiences. Urmi, meaning wave in Sanskrit, speaks to the philosophy that underpins their work, harnessing the tide of change from ancient concepts to the realities of contemporary life. Where a love for electronic music intersected with ceremony and contemplative practice, Urmi became an enquiry into the relationship between sound and our state of being.

A potent and deeply intuitive practice, sound therapy is fundamentally the harnessing of sound in a therapeutic, contemplative, or creative context, becoming a powerful way to shift our state of being.

Crafting an experimental and vibrant soundscape designed to guide you into states of deep self-enquiry, clarity and peace, Urmi Sound’s Dan and Joseph compose with powerful ripples of the gong, the soothing tones of crystal bowls and ambient electronic sounds in conjunction with breathwork and meditative practices to create a deeply restorative and sensorial experience. Understanding the powerful ability for music to shift us into various states, Urmi Sound explore the possibility of vibration harnessed for the purpose of healing.

Drawing from the knowledge of various philosophical systems and practices, Dan and Joseph learned how sound could be applied to this very purpose. In doing so, they are able to navigate the challenges of contemporary urban lifestyles from a place of greater clarity and ease.

Offering a plethora of benefits to your daily life, sound therapy and vibration as a healing modality works as a tonic for both bodily and mental ailments. Through the processing of energy and emotions stored within the body, sound therapy allows for a more direct connection to the flow of creativity and inspiration. As a universal language that we can all speak and connect with, sound anchors us to the present moment, allowing us to shift into more mindful perspectives - a method wherein we can better manage stress and understand mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression.

Creating a space for ceremony within our daily lives, sound therapy imbues our everyday routines with the sacred, a way to honour ourselves by caring for our physical and mental health.
