Sound healing is an ancient form of medicine that uses sound to re-introduce harmony to the body. Everything is made of vibration, and your body is no exception. Your body is a symphony and when we are healthy everyone is vibrating in resonance. When out of balance we begin to experience dis-ease within the body. This can show up as pain, tension, discomfort, and various emotions. 

Sound works in two ways:

Brain waves: Through entrainment, sound slows the brain waves down bringing you into deep states of meditation. 

Physically: Sound penetrates deeper than physical touch and affects us on a cellular level. When you attend a sound bath your body is reintroduced to harmony, and the sound works to bring all parts of the body into resonance. 

Energetically and emotionally: It helps to move experiences and emotions out of your energy field to be resolved and released. 

BENEFITS OF A SOUND BATH: 

• Deepened connection between body and mind 

• Reducing physical tension and pain 

• Improved sleep 

• Relaxes the mind, soothing anxious feelings and thoughts

• improves mood invoking a deep sense of peace

• Clarity of mind giving you a greater perspective on life situations and how to manage them

• A total reset for body and mind, regulating the nervous system and downshifting into the parasympathetic nervous system where rejuvenation of the physical body occurs 

Tantra means to loom or weave. It is the embodiment of the connection between the enjoyment of material things and the joy of experiencing one's soul. 

Tantra is the yoga of embodiment, it is the feminine more malleable approach to yoga. In classical yoga, we ignore the body and see it as something in the way of transcendence. In Tantra, we transcend through the body. We care for the body and how it carries us in this life. It encourages people to move through the world with more confidence and contentment, enjoying this body and all it affords us. 

In tantra we weave together many techniques– asana (postures), mudra, mantra, sound, breathwork... we use all of these in various ways to heal, transform, and experience freedom. It is the yoga of FLOW. In tantra, we believe that when the body and mind are nourished the soul thrives and we can experience union with the Divine. 

Tantra is woven into everything that I offer because of it's grounded approach to spirituality. 

Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique, also known as psychic sleep, in which you learn to relax consciously. It is a systemic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. 

In this threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs spontaneously. This is where the magic happens! Your subconscious mind is the storehouse for your beliefs and programs that are essentially running the show. Yoga Nidra gives us some more power around the unknown programs and beliefs we are creating our lives from. 

What is really cool about this is that these programs can be released both consciously and unconsciously in this state, meaning you may not even be aware of the shift until you see the effects of its release in your outer experience. In this state we also have the opportunity to plant new seeds of intention that will manifest through our physical experience. 

One of the most incredible benefits of this practice is what this type of rest does for your body, especially if you are someone who is not getting enough sleep. Rest and sleep are not the same, you can sleep while not getting very much rest at all. Due to the state of rest cultivated with this practice, 1 hour of Yoga Nidra is equal to 4 hours of sleep in relation to what it does for your body. (Probably one of my favorite benefits if I am being honest!) 

Benefits:

• Improves sleep

• Deeply restorative to the body- 1 hour of Nidra = 4 hours of sleep to the body

• Reduces stress and anxiety

• Enhances creativity

• Releases tension assisting in the reduction of pain

• Enhances cognition and memory
