FAQ's
Can I attend if I'm pregnant?
​
Yes, just let me know in advance and you can of course bring any additional items that would make you fell more comfortable.
​
What shall I wear?
​
Anything that you feel comfortable in. You'll be lying down so the body temperature can drop, so I do recommend wearing a few layers. Bringing socks and eye eye mask to block out the light is a lovely addition.
​
What if I fall asleep/snore?
​
Firstly, you'll still benefit from the vibrations, but usually with the music, people are listening deeply. Sometimes snoring happens and it's totally fine!However, if anything gets excessive we will encourage you or we'll give a gentle tap on the shoulder. Although this rarely happens.
​
Can I bring my son/daughter?
​
​ Generally we recommend an age limit of 15+, however, if your child is accustom to meditating and attending sound baths, then please do contact info@liedownandlisten.com and just let us know.

Meet Your Host: Christina McMaster
Classical pianist, sound healer and founder of Lie Down and Listen
“She is an incredibly sensitive intuitive player who brings out the mystery and beauty of these pieces”
Sarah Walker BBC Radio 3

“One of the most talked about concerts of our festival.” Alistair MacGowan, Artistic Director of Ludlow Piano Festival
Founder and Classical Pianist Christina McMaster noticed that it wasn't only the rituals of classical music concert halls that led to a disconnected listening experience, but in daily life, we are experiencing more disconnection than ever, leading to loneliness, anxiety, stress, sense of emptiness etc.
Lie down & Listen began after a chance meeting with Prof. Sir John Strang and a series of events at Kings College London to recreate the wellbeing benefits of a hallucinogenic experience without hallucinogenics- but simply using a certain combination of music in a lying down concert experience as they did in the 1960’s in downtown New York loft apartments where music of Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Steve Reich - also known as the New York Hypnotic School. After training in sound healing, Christina then evolved the meditation, sound healing and lying down concert experience of today which creates space for deep relaxation and for listeners to reconnect within.
