Beyonce Edition: September with Rebecca H.
9/14, 6-7:15 pm
Supreme Subtle Sound, 7/14, 6-7:30 p, Sonia K & Abby H.
Immerse yourself in an evening of sonic bliss- weaving the sacred sounds of chimes, crystal bowls and drums with a supreme release yoga practice.
Together, SRY and sound harmonize, expanding the benefits of each other. SRY will settle your mind and open the subtle channels of your body to become more available to the meditative benefits of sound. This opens the door to experience the full potential of the subtle vibrations- soothe the nervous system, calm and clarify the mind, deeply relax the body, invite inner revelation and meditation, and so much more.
This gathering begins with a guided SRY practice which will lead you into a therapeutic supported shavasana for the sound healing meditation. Time will be saved at the end to reflect, share, and integrate the experience.
Supreme Release yoga (SRY) is a therapeutic approach to asana that aims to gently decompress the spine. Founded in the tantric vision of the body, the physical practice is a gateway to a deep, meditative, inward experience. Methodically releasing long held bodily tension, SRY has a profound effect on body, mind, and spirit that is nourishing, revitalizing, and revelatory. While this practice is incredibly advanced, it is still accessible and suitable for many people because you’ll learn to utilize props in a way that truly supports you.

Accompanied by the gentle melodies from crystal singing bowls, rain sticks, and chimes, allow your your anxieties to be carried away and into a deep rest. In a process called entrainment, these beautiful sounds will help to synchronize your deep internal rhythms through their soothing tones. Sound meditations have been used for thousands of years as a technique to relax the mind and body while developing a deeper connection to self, as well as source.

“The earth’s surface has
a virtually limitless supply of mobile electrons that gives the ground we walk on (as well as lakes and oceans) a natural negative electric charge. When you touch your body to the ground, it dissipates static electricity and extraneous environmental electrical charges that are on you. At the same time, you receive a charge of energy in the form of free electrons and your body synchronizes with the natural frequencies of the earth.” Learn more here from Earthling©

Enhance mindfulness: Research indicates that cultivating mindfulness through meditation can enhance attention regulation, emotional regulation, and overall psychological well-being.

Studies published in reputable journals such as JAMA Internal Medicine and Psychological Bulletin have consistently shown that regular meditation practice can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
