Beginning on Samhain, Hallow’s Eve, the time when the veils are thinnest and the ancestors come forward, we honor the turning of the Wheel of the Year. This date is one of the 8 High Holy Sabbats, celebrating the changing of the seasons. As we harmonize to the shifting of the season we become more attuned to the cycles of the natural world and ourselves. On Hallow’s Eve the veils are lifted which is a powerful time to burn off all of that which no longer serves us and invite in wisdom, insights, and messages from beyond the veil for the purpose of transformation.
We invite you to gather and prepare for the dark half of the year by quieting the nervous system through sound, vibration, resonance, and frequency. Entraining brainwaves through the sounds of crystal tones resonant singing bowls and the Paiste gong, we enter into theta brainwave state, learn to down regulate the sympathetic nervous system, and activate our parasympathetic nervous system, through Janelle’s vocal tones, the harmony and dissonance of her full orchestra sound bath experience.
Please bring everything you need to be comfortable on the floor for one hour. Yoga mats (studio mat rental $3), blankets, sheepskin rugs, bolsters, pillows, eye covering, water bottle, and loose clothing are recommended.
