Shala of Sacred Sound

08/01/2026

Thank you to everyone who came for tonight’s gong bath, braving wind and rain and the high red weather alerts across the UK as Storm Goretti approaches.

Interestingly, the last time the Sun, Earth, and a full “supermoon” aligned close to perihelion was in early 1912. That period coincided with unusually severe weather in the North Atlantic, and it was during these conditions that an iceberg broke free and later struck the Titanic.

While such celestial alignments don’t cause events directly, they have long been associated with heightened tidal forces and environmental extremes.

Once again, we are witnessing intense weather, and many feel it as a reminder that the waters are speaking.

I loved being able to explore this tonight with you all.

Love Rawia X

✨ Have you booked your Sound Bath yet? ✨

The monthly dates are now out.

These Gong Bath Meditations are an invitation into the liminal spaces we enter through deep stillness — the quiet thresholds where the nervous system softens and something deeper begins to listen.

Guided by the gongs and other vibrational instruments, we journey with sound and frequency, allowing the mind to rest and the body to remember.

This is a practice of returning.
Of learning how to enter the vast, open inner landscapes within us, where the heart opens and the great mystery can be felt rather than understood.

If you feel called to rest deeply, to deepen your spiritual practice, or to explore what unfolds when you surrender into sound, you’ll be very welcome.

I’m looking forward to meeting many new faces over the coming year, and to welcoming back those who’ve been walking this beautiful journey of becoming with me over these many years.

In my Gong Bath and Meditation sessions, I devote my attention to cultivating a sense of gentle curiosity—an open, welcoming space where you can safely explore the deeper layers of yourself.

This week, we’ll journey into the idea that when we are firmly rooted in the Earth’s energy—present, steady, and grounded—happiness isn’t something we chase. It naturally rises from within us.

If you’re longing to cultivate more joy in your life, I’d love for you to join us. This session may be the medicine your heart has been waiting for.

With love,
Rawia Baitalmal Edwards

🌙 The Return of the Shamanic Drumming & Dream Circle 🌙

It’s been a long time coming…
After a year of deep initiations, new teachings, and layers that words can hardly touch — the time has come to return.

I’m so grateful to announce that our Shamanic Drumming Circles are beginning again ✨

This next cycle carries a new focus — the ancient practice of Shamanic Dreaming and Drumming. Together we will explore how rhythm, trance, and dreaming can open portals of vision, healing, and remembrance.

As a Lucid Dream Facilitator and Shamanic Practitioner, my path and purpose are to help others reconnect with the splintered and forgotten parts of the self — to guide the return to wholeness.
Each gathering is a Ceremonial Space, a place to learn, journey, and be supported by a community of kindred spirits walking this sacred path.

The first circle begins soon.
I can’t wait to sit in ceremony with you once again — to dream, drum, and remember together. 🪶💫

📅 Date: 7th November & 19th December
📍 Location: Chester
🕰️ Time: 7pm - 9pm

Did you know that anamnesis means “to remember, to recollect”?

The word comes from Latin, and even Plato described it as the soul’s longing to return home — to reconnect with that place we knew before birth into this human life.

Tonight we gathered as I spoke about the forgetting, and how the soul can journey to remember, and it was such a beautiful circle of souls.

It reminded me how much I’ve missed holding this sacred space.

If you’d like to experience a deep mystical connection to your subtle energy body— to pause, to reconnect, and to live more lucidly — our next sound bath dates are now live on BookWhen. I’d love for you to join us.

Gratitude for the Living Forest

Each day I step into the Forest that lives on my doorstep — not just a place of trees and trails, but a sanctuary, a teacher, a soul companion. She has held me in ways language cannot hold. In her arms, I have learned to pray not with words alone, but with my presence.

I return to the same places, whispering gratitude into the wind, into the roots, into the streams. Over the years, I’ve witnessed her seasons turn: death into life, silence into birdsong, stillness into wild abundance. Right now, she is teeming — green and full, new life bursting forth. Chicks in nests. Saplings reaching. The Forest hums with the pulse of creation.

And still, the predator walks. The hawk circles. The fox waits. Life and death spiral together in sacred rhythm. This is the truth she shows me: all things are held in balance. Polarity is not a mistake — it is the dance of the divine.

Suffering exists here too — not as something to be rejected, but as a doorway. When we stop fighting it, when we stop trying to separate the sacred from the sorrow, we can begin to see the beauty in all of it.

Prayer, for me, is a way of staying in conversation with this truth. Of listening more than asking. Of seeing the psychic weave of life — how everything is connected, how nothing is truly separate.

Gratitude deepens that connection. It roots us. It reminds us: We are not alone. We are not outside of nature. We are part of the mystery, just as the Forest is.

The Soul’s Cry for Connection

Is Addiction a Search for the Soul……

Addiction is often seen as a destructive force—but what if it’s also a profound yearning to reconnect with lost parts of the self… or even the soul?

This idea, explored by thinkers like Johann Hari and various spiritual traditions, reframes addiction not as a moral failing or disease, but as a symptom of deeper disconnection.

In his TED Talk, Johann Hari says, “The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It’s human connection.”

His work suggests that addiction often stems from emotional isolation, not just chemical dependency. This echoes ancient wisdom: in shamanic traditions, “soul loss” happens when parts of us fragment in response to trauma—and addictive behaviours may be unconscious attempts to call them home.

From personal stories to spiritual writings, we hear the same truth again and again: addiction isn’t just about escape—it’s about longing.
Longing for connection. Longing for self. Longing for wholeness.

What if healing isn’t just about abstaining—but about reconnecting?

Mindfulness, meditation, and soul-centered approaches help individuals return to their inner world with compassion. Rebuilding relationships—with self, others, and spirit—becomes the foundation of deep and lasting change.

How My Work supports this

Addiction is not just a personal struggle for many; it is deeply connected to the soul’s longing for home.

Alongside traditional recovery methods, I offer Kambo—a sacred Amazonian method of spirit extraction —as it is a way to clear the energetic and emotional pathways that block healing.

Kambo supports deep release. I integrate it with shamanic counselling, Shamanic techniques, regression, hypnosis, meditation, breathwork, and other modalities that help client feel safe to let go of old belief systems and invite the soul back into the body, that then open the way to profound transformation.

When we heal the disconnection, we come home to ourselves.

So I ask - Can we begin to reframe addiction—as a sacred call to return to the soul?
