Celebration | A sound bath meditation on 12/9/23 at Yoga Among Friends in Downers Grove, IL
Celebration in any form, and particularly at this time of year, is a profound expression of joy and gratitude that can significantly enhance our overall wellness. It represents a purposeful pause in our busy lives to acknowledge and savor the milestones and moments of growth, both big and small, that we have achieved throughout the year. While it often involves festive gatherings, it can also take the form of a personal, reflective practice, allowing us to acknowledge our achievements and learn from our challenges.
Celebrations can serve as a powerful tool for stress relief, fostering a positive mindset, and strengthening our social connections, contributing to a harmonious balance between physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Embracing the year's end as an opportunity for celebration can be a meaningful and holistic approach to nourishing the soul. This sound bath and guided meditation will present you with a portal to a phenomenological experience of inner expansion by accessing and amplifying consciousness through sound.
Join us as we celebrate with large gongs, didgeridoo, drums, flute and more. Geared for a complete recharge and re-boot of your body-mind-spirit connection and mobilizing and accessing your resources to inner healing and expansion, experience a profound sound therapy event in an awesome community setting. Gaby and Marian will present you with a uniquely powerful opportunity to deeply relax and re-vitalize. Please note that the at the door attendance fee is $40.00
A mindfulness meditation followed by a uniquely harmonic soundscape to empower you to re-calibrate and re-balance your entire being on a molecular level in a most holistic fashion.
For millennia different cultures have used the sound of gongs, drums and flutes to remind people to reconnect with their essence, their consciousness. Experience a skillfully layered, multi-dimensional tapestry of sounds designed to relax and invigorate you simultaneously. Reset and permeate your mind and body in a soothing and healing environment of ambient sounds generated by 5 large gongs and other sound tools.
Benefit from our unique 3-prong approach of Psychology, Sound Therapy and Life Coaching which helps individuals identify and transform personal limitations. Beliefs and emotions strongly shape your perception of reality, thoughts and behaviors control your evolution…for better or worse. The event will allow you to liberate yourself from symptomatic stress, anxiety, depression or other self-sabotaging patterns.
We will provide you the vehicle to a guided meditative and transformational sound journey. Participants are presented with an opportunity to lift their awareness about limiting beliefs and how to transform them. Flow into a psycho-acoustic gateway and expand your vibratory frequency to reach higher states of conscious awareness by connecting with the Unified Field in a wholesome and loving way.
The event is about 90 minutes in duration and includes 3 segments, the first 2 are about 15 - 20 minutes in duration, and the following sound bath fills the remainder:
The sequence is:
1st Segment – the introduction - participants receive a general overview of sound therapy and how the upcoming meditation and Sound Bath experience work together to facilitate a personal transformation, evolution and healing method within the conscious mind, followed by
2nd Segment – a carefully chosen guided meditation which primes the subconscious mind to transition into the essential personal transformation experience brought on by the healing sounds in the…
3rd Segment – the sound bath where guests flow in a stream of ancestral and otherworldly sounds generated by several large gongs (44” to 28”), one of man’s oldest therapeutic instruments, singing bowls, bells, chimes, tuning forks, ocean drum, rattles and other sound tools. Our sound space envelopes listeners in a uniquely rhythmic, melodic and pleasing fashion while the gong’s vibrational and sonic characteristics deeply resonate and harmonize all 50+ trillion cells of the body. The experience energizes and relaxes simultaneously in a most powerful and unique way and invites a natural synchronization of the brain's right and left hemispheres.
Combined, these powerful elements facilitate a change in one’s nature of being and potentially restore an intrinsic state of inner balance, homeostasis. Throughout, you will be introduced to mindfulness techniques of a sonic nature. The only requirement for you to benefit is to bring an open mind, wear comfortable clothing, and come with a mat, pillow and blanket to cover up (all optional).
