Stages - The Healing Area


What is it called?

Breathe Easy – The name was picked from a choice that people had put on the Muddy Forum. The name says it all. “Breathe easy”. We want people to enter the healing area and to feel instant relief and peace and offer the festival goers a place to come to chill out and to get away from the hussle, bussle and main sounds of the festival.

About the healing area

Life can be a real pain in the neck – literally!!

When we consider that the world at its most fundamental level is energy and that we are all part of a huge mass of different energies and frequencies, it’s no wonder that we can become stressed and feel unbalanced because we are constantly being bombarded with frequencies that may not necessarily work to our benefit. There are many factors that can cause us to become imbalanced, for example work, relationships, money and debt and such factors can cause us to fall into a state of dis-ease. When we fall into this state we may experience this as a physical illness, or tiredness, anxiety, depression or a feeling of separation and isolation.

These feelings are all very natural and we can use them to our benefit, as they are all signs given to us, from us, to let us know that something is wrong and that your body, mind and spirit system is in need of some TLC. Once you begin to understand your body and its rhythms, you will start to learn more of what your body responds well to, and what you can do to bring it into its optimum frequency of good health.

There are many simple steps you can take to look after yourself, for example a healthy diet, exercise and plenty of rest, but why not take this a step further and experience some of the wonderful varieties of holistic and complementary therapies on offer for you at this year’s Grassroots Festival.

So what do we have to offer?

Workshop and chill out area

This will be a space for you to come when you want somewhere quiet and comfortable to go to. It will run as both a workshop area and a chill out space. There will be many workshops for you to try including yoga, drumming, breathing exercises, meditation sessions and many more. Throughout the day it will also run as a chill out space where there will be soft, relaxing music for you to enjoy at your deepest leisure, however there may be times during the workshops such as the drumming, where the space may be less relaxing, but stay long enough for the drumming and you may find yourself in a trance-like state!

Reiki by Jason

Reiki is energy healing and works from the healing energy of Reiki being channelled from the source, through the practitioner and into the recipient bringing relaxation and healing at a deep level.

Over the years Jason has built up his knowledge of the body and it’s ability to heal itself and he has studied Reiki to Practitioner level in order to channel the healing energy into the body to enable it to bring balance and harmony into the system.

Sound Therapy by Jody

Sound has been used for thousands of years for meditation purposes and as a tool for healing. Sound Therapy works on an energetic level and heals the mind, body and spirit system by working with the chakras, to bring balance back into the body. Your body is an energy field and sound enters the body to remove any blockages that are stopping the energy from flowing freely around the body.

Jody studied with the British Academy of Sound Therapy and throughout her studies has gathered much knowledge and experience of the mind, body and spirit system and her intention is to help people realise their own potential as healing beings.
