This year on May 12th while the Full Moon is in the sign of Scorpio, we arrive at an opportunity to experience our feelings of release on a deeper level.
The Moon Salutation, known in Sanskrit as Chandra Namaskar, is a series of flowing asanas coordinated with your breath that help cultivate a calm, quiet presence. The meditative repetition of moon salutations helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system creating a cooling and grounding effect that provides a sense of balance to the more active solar-derived energy of the sympathetic nervous system within the body and mind.
Michele will guide you through the full moon yoga flow to bring in the receptive and nurturing lunar qualities. This sequence may help you contemplate what you’re ready to release and surrender into. The integration of the salutation and sound frequency invites you to turn your awareness inward and move slowly with presence, to restore harmony and a feeling of wholeness.
Janelle will accompany with waves of soothing, echoing sound from the Gong and crystal bowls during the flow, weaving together her full sound bath orchestra. As we immerse ourselves in vibration, resonance and frequency we will enter Theta brainwave state, deep relaxation, nervous system rest, and reset.
THE MYSTICAL:
Sound Baths create a vibrational atmosphere that facilitates a state of relaxation, lucid dreaming and deep meditation. This ceremonial concert is designed to provide an environment where energy that is no longer needed can be released, which shifts the mind, body and spirit into a deeply relaxed state of being.
THE SCIENCE:
Guests are bathed in powerful vibrations and binaural beats that help entrain their brain waves into Theta. In this deeply relaxed state dynamic healing can take place, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system, cellular regeneration, stress release, as well as emotional, mental and physical healing.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
After the movement therapy, participants lay in a comfortable position on the floor (savasana), while Janelle plays the crystal bowls, the blessing rattle, and Paiste gong, accompanied by shamanic vocal toning. Many people have reported noticeable physical changes and often experience reduced pain, deeper sleep and meditation, increased memory, focus, concentration, and enhanced cohesiveness afterward.
Please bring anything that you may need to feel comfortable on the floor in silence for one hour. Blankets, pillows, bolsters, yoga mats, eye coverings, etc. are welcome. Wear comfortable clothing and please be hydrated. Warm tea from Moon Goddess Apothecary will be served at the event.
