Relaxing Sound Bath 10/7 - Event is Full

Friends, I would like to invite you to our relaxing and restorative Thursday Night Sound Bath.   Each week we will start with focused breathing and then lay down for a 50 minute Sound Bath.  The session will end with a Chakra Clearing Bija Mantra and then there will be time for a Q & A.  We will focus on the vibrational frequencies of  a different Chakra each week. 9/16  - Heart Chakra, 9/23 - Throat Chakra, 9/30 - Third-Eye Chakra, 410/7 - Crown Chakra.    We will experiment with the clinically tested Sound Formula, Sound + Intention = Healing.

Sound Baths are a combination of restorative yoga, meditation and a sacred sound concert. They have been shown to reduce stress, enable deep relaxation, enhance creativity, possibly uplift the spirit and help with insomnia. Sound Meditations slow down your brainwaves and guide you into a deep meditative state or altered state of consciousness.  Participants lay down comfortably and then are “immersed” in the sounds, vibrations and harmonics of the instruments. Gongs, Himalayan bowls, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks and shamanic percussion instruments are played in a clinically tested, therapeutic sequence to maximize benefits.   No previous knowledge or experience is required.  Sound is a very accessible form of meditation where benefits are usually experienced right after the first session. As my teacher likes to say, “simply lay down and bathe in the sound.”

You will need: An exercise or yoga mat and water.   Here is a link to an extra thick Mat .

Optional: You will be laying down for 50 mins, so having a blanket, pillow and eye pillow will add additional comfort to your experience.

Dates are:

Thursday, Dec 2
