\nWhat to Expect:
We open the
space with a mantra and then do light movement and breathwork from Kriya
Yoga. \; \;Everyone will then get comfortable by lying down (prefe
rred) or in another comfortable position for 30-45 minutes to receive the
poetry and multiple sounds\, vibrations\, and other resonant tones and fre
quencies. "As we build the sound and intensity of the gongs\, we allow the
sounds to naturally decay\, creating build and release cycles which are d
eeply therapeutic" - Kevin Kraft.
What is Kriya Yoga?
It is a practice of energy yoga where we use dynamic movements\,
mudras\, mantras\, tapping\, shaking\, stretching and breath work to\, as
Kevin explains\, "clear our energy channels and realign oneself to an aut
hentic human experience." \;
What is a Sound Bath?
"A sound bath is a meditative experience facilitated by the use
of gongs\, crystal and Tibetan bowls\, chimes\, flutes\, drums and other
instruments to slow down the overactive mind. As the instruments help take
us into a predominant Theta brainwave state\, we are able to become the w
itness to the energetics of our mind/body/soul connection. \; The spec
ific frequencies\, harmonics and cosmic sounds help to realign ourselves t
o a balanced state and help remove stagnations and blockages that keep us
from our optimal health. \; These sounds help to reduce entanglements
and distortions our bodies hold on to through the stories and traumas stuc
k in our body." \; \;
