Solstice Eve Sound Meditation

Come ring in the year's longest day with a healing sound meditation, utilizing Crystal Singing Bowls, voice, chimes and other harmonic instruments. This will be a powerful listening experience. Come lie back, relax, and immerse yourself in sound and vibration.

Sliding Scale $10 — $30 exchange. SPACE IS LIMITED TO 15 PARTICIPANTS. (note: this event is being promoted in several places, so the RSVP count here is not indicative of the actual number of attendees.)

Why Sound Meditation? Sound, vibration and Harmonics have been a part of meditation, healing, ritual, and celebration for thousands of years. The benefits of sound are becoming increasingly recognized by scientific communities. For example, EEG studies have shown that brain wave activity slows during sound meditation to allow participants to enter into deep meditative states.

Who should come: Anyone looking to relax, promote healing and wellbeing, release tension, quiet their “monkey mind,” and connect with their deeper, more intuitive self.

What to expect: We’ll start with simple breathing and intention-setting exercises, after which participants will lie comfortably and listen. As the facilitator, Roy will play the Crystal Singing Bowls, as well as use voice and other overtone emitting instruments to create an immersive, meditative sound experience.

What are the benefits? Research has identified many measurable benefits to sound meditation, including:

• Quieting the mind
• Bringing the self to a state of inner peace and calmness
• Diminishing anxiety
• Dealing with insomnia
• Triggering and enhancing one’s ability to dream
• Enhanced ability to disengage undesirable habitual patterns
• Increasing self-confidence and attention
• Enhanced ability to listen and gain attention to a greater level of details
• Establishing a state of resonance and attunement with the self
