Reiki & Sound Healing with Singing Bowls
With roots in Japan and Tibet, Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is derived from “rei”, meaning “universal” or “from source” and “ki”, meaning life force energy, the vital energy that flows through all living things. Reiki aids in balancing of all the systems of the body, as well as facilitating balance in mind, and spirit. Today it is used in many hospitals and medical settings. During a session, you relax on a massage table or on a mat, while the practitioner rests her/his hands on or around you. Energy is channeled through the practitioner to the client; such energy comes from the source of energy, NOT the practitioner. A variety of sensations and experiences may occur. Common responses are to feel heat, deep relaxation, stress relief, emotional release, pain relief, and improvement in mood. Treatments can be done with little to no physical contact if desired.
This treatment incorporates the use of centuries old Nepalese/Tibetan singing bowls forged by hand. Other tools used may include chimes, tuning forks, voice, rattles, and percussion. Bowls will be placed on and around the body, and Reiki energy is sent through them. Vibrations travel to places where stagnation in energy resides and help to break up blockage, be it physical , mental, or emotional. Clients often experience a great sense of inner stillness and quieting of the mind during treatment.
Mantra Workshop:
. Mantra is an ancient way of affecting the brainwaves and the physical and subtle bodies through vibration, going back at least 4000–5000 years. “Manas” means mind and “trai” can mean protection, or to set free from. The word “mantra” can be translated as tool of the mind, divine speech, and language of the human spiritual physiology. It is an excellent meditation tool, calming the mind and nervous system and helping one to breathe and be present. Join Lyndsey and John in this workshop wherein we will discuss what mantra practice is, where it comes from, and why it is beneficial. It is best to experience it for yourself, and so we will also experiment with chanting different kinds of mantras, and toning as breathing practice and meditation.
