“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” ~ Viktor Frankl

The art of self mastery requires a reverence for space. Space exists between our internal thoughts, external events and our reactions to the thoughts and events in our lives. The more we gain understanding of how to use space, we become less reactive and more responsive. We can override initial conditioned reactions and respond with the capacity to choose consciously and from a place of heartfelt presence and loving equanimity.

In Sound Meditations, as we learn to listen to the silence between the sounds, the spaces between the notes, we are able to tune in to attune within to ourselves. By learning how to listen, we learns how to quiet the mind and co-create a new reality for ourselves where we are co-creating our destiny with our thoughts, words and actions.

• Intention Setting. Intentions provide us the ability to activate our internal compass in the direction of our heart as we embark upon this journey. Setting an intention supports you in feeling agency for your life.  

• Guided Meditation and Affirmations. Meditation calms your sympathetic nervous system, allowing you to rest, relax and activate the parasympathetic nervous system to begin the journey inward. Paired with affirmations, we activate and prime our brain’s reward centers by creating positive thoughts in present time and strengthening new neural pathways.

• Breath Work Holotropic breathing technique involves controlling and quickening breathing patterns to influence your mental, emotional, and physical state and access altered states of consciousness. From the Greek words, "holos" (whole) and "trepein" (to move toward), the word "holotropic" translates to "moving toward wholeness." It’s super powerful!

• Vocal Toning Breathwork taken to the next level with the sound of your voice.  Using your vocal cords, you will discover your own unique frequencies and come back into vibrational harmony. As we tone, we naturally slow down our heart rate, calm our nervous system and nourish our body in profound ways using the gift of our own internal instrument.

• Sound Meditation. A sonic journey into your own inner landscape using rich overtone instruments like the gong and singing bowls to affect your brainwave cycles, neurochemistry, autonomic nervous system, heart-rate variability and subtle energy. The sound creates the stage for a deep, meditative altered state of consciousness.

At the end of the journey after some spacious quiet time for reflection and journaling, we will gather in an integration circle.. time to share experiences, insights, musings, thoughts and feelings while sharing nourishing refreshments after the ceremony.
