Immerse in the Experience: Join us for this Virgo New Moon Meditation, Chant & Sound Journey and connect connect in to the energy of healing and service that this new moon offers.
We’ll breathe together with a pranayama to relax us into the present, chant mantra to quiet the mind, and experience a guided meditation to melt us deeper into the experience.
From there we’ll immerse in the vibrations of a sound bath, which will help create space for deep relaxation and the release of tension, stress, and stagnant energy.
When we enter this tranquil and expanded state of being, the mind, body, emotions, and spirit have the opportunity to soothe, re-calibrate, and restore to inner harmony.
From this place of harmony we can build, align and connect to a greater potential.
Reiki Offering: Participants will be offered the gentle loving energy of Reiki in our Sound Experience. Reiki is the energy of unconditional love, and when tuned into and directed by a practitioner it can support with health, harmony and healing on a mental, emotional, physical and energetic level.
About the Virgo New Moon:
Virgo is the medicine woman of the zodiac, she gifts us with the wisdom of knowing how to form a deep connection to the natural rhythms of the earth, and to the healing properties of nature, and the plant and the mineral kingdoms.
Her gifts are given to support our mind and body, so we may create an inner environment that is healthy and balance. Ultimately these gifts help us be of best service to others.
At this new moon the Medicine Woman swoops in with her sharp mind and deep wisdom to bring the harvest of dreams to life.
We can use the energy of the New Moon to connect to Virgo's discerning, analytical and organized energy so we may get clear about a realistic and achievable path toward realizing our intentions.
About the instruments:
We will immerse in the soothing sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls that have been hand crafted and blessed by Monks. These bowls are made of seven metals that represent the seven visible planets, created with the intent to bring us back into harmony with the rhythm of life.
We'll tune into the sounds of droning instruments and enter a light trance state as the monotones calm the mind and brings it to quiet.
We'll bathed in the vibrations of the symphonic gong, which holds the sounds of the solar system, as recorded by NASA, allowing us to transcend the physical.
We'll chant to tune our own instruments, our voices and bodies, and calibrate our being to sound codes that support our mental, spiritual, emotional and physical health
All this will happen within a soundscape of natural percussion instruments, infused with vibrational medicine.
And as we entrain to these sounds we will come into harmony with the vibrations inherent in nature, in the planets and the cosmos, and into harmony with our inner world.
