WITH THE HELP OF SOUND, reaching a calmed meditative state is so easy it’s almost automatic even for those who have never meditated before. Our minds, bodies and spirits respond favorably to natural vibrational rhythms and clear tones. With the sounds of hand drum, gongs, rattles & singing crystal bowls, a calm, relaxed state of mind can be achieved, helping to release stress, thereby being conducive to achieving greater states of inner balance, healing, and well-being. THE RELAXED STATE is continually and increasingly being credited for contributing to our wellness. Meditation has in the past few decades taken a rightful place alongside eating well, exercise and remaining mentally active as a major contributor to our wellness. THE SINGING CRYSTAL BOWLS used are precisely tuned to resonate with our 8 major energy centers (chakras). Using a process known as “sympathetic resonance” we can correct the vibrational effect our everyday lives have on us, while these tones simply relax us and help bring us to the still space in our consciousness that’s so conducive to continued wellbeing and self-healing. The gongs and chimes are perfect compliments to the singing crystal bowls with their own delicate nuances and tonal qualities. THE DRUM can be (when used correctly in measured tempos and repeating patterns) instrumental in creating an atmosphere where a meditative state is easily reached. As with the constant soft waves washing onto the shore and then off or a steady drip of raindrops from a porch roof, rhythm can return our psyche to the most peaceful experiences in our memories both conscious and subconscious. Join long time Shaman, Reiki master/teacher and Sound therapist Jim Red Sky as we journey to a heightened state of wellbeing through sound.
This class involves no movement. Bring a Yoga mat. Some people like to bring a pillow and blanket. Bolsters and blankets are first come, first serve.
