Fall season has arrived. Nature is shedding the old to make way for the new. Join us as we honor the change of season not only around us but within us. This sound bath will focus on opening up our heart space and feeling gratitude for life and the lovely souls and experiences it brings us along the way. Enjoy an evening of self-care and gratitude as I use crystal quartz singing bowls and elemental inspired chimes to facilitate a relaxing sound bath and guide you into a meditative state. Each of the sound bowls is precisely tuned to resonate with the body’s seven chakras. The vibrational frequencies help to relax the mind and connect from within. The session will begin with a guided meditation to help you move into a relaxed state. I will then play a combination of the singing bowls and chimes for approximately 45 minutes. After the sound session, I will gently bring you back to a grounded state. Please arrive early to allow yourself time to get comfortable in the space, calm your breathing, and begin the relaxation process. I recommend drinking ample amount of water on the day of the event. Sound waves carry through water, and the more hydrated you are, the more likely the frequencies will have a penetrating effect. What is a Sound Bath?
