Fundamentally, the union extends to one’s spirit. A key function of yoga is to open the center of the spine to recognize one’s natural power. The Seven Sounds of Creation correlate with the cakras (chakras) and support an exceptional way to focus attention sequentially along the spine. Chanting simple, classical sounds may assist one to connect with breath. One may realize increased concentration and create a link between the timelessness of yogic wisdom and your own life. We will investigate the interconnection of dynamic sequenced postures (vinyasas), breath (pranayama), and simple chanting as a gateway to arrive at the inner realm of contemplation.

Sacred Sound Healing Ceremonies with Gongs and other Indigenous Tools

/in
  • Sacred Sound Healing Ceremonies with Gongs and other Indigenous Tools with Gray Jeffery www.samanayo.com
  • 2012-06-09T19:00
  • 2 hours

Bring a blanket and a pillow, lie down and journey with the primordial rhythm and vibration of the gongs. The array of sounds communes with various parts of the body, bringing healing and balancing. The gongs aid in aligning the body into its natural rhythm.
In these ceremonies we begin with an invocation, meditation, and setting of intention. We call on Spirit to join us as we go inward, and determine what we are working on shedding or calling into our lives. I begin by playing the gong over and around people who are lying in a comfortable and relaxing setting, and then move to the larger gongs for a deep and impactful vibrational experience. I incorporate the drum (the sacred heart beat), condor feathers and the chakapa (Amazonian plant rattle) into the ceremony also. The ceremony closes with giving thanks for our experience, our time together, and for each other.
Ceremonies last for approximately two hours.

Trance Dance with Carol Piro

/in
  • Trance Dance is a unique blend of body movement, healing sounds, dynamic percussive rhythms, transformational breathing techniques and the innovative use of a blindfold or bandana – together stimulating a ‘trance’ state that promotes spiritual awakenings, mental clarity, physical stamina and emotional well-being.
  • 2011-04-01T19:00
  • Two hours

Driven by unique musical soundtracks recorded specifically for this method of healing, Trance Dance takes participants on an ‘inner journey’ not limited to our normal perceptions of space/time. Trance Dance’s primary focus is on healing and spiritual evolution. By dancing within the seclusion of darkness participants discover parallel realities where solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems are possible. Through Trance Dance we disappear, becoming more like spirit, and simultaneously less attached to life’s ordinary difficulties, making it possible at these moments to let these problems go.
