Soundhealing - Klangreise mit Gong & Kristallschalen (Baden)
English below.
Bei unserer Klangreise bringen wir dich mit den Kristallschalen in tiefe Entspannung. Anschliessend erzeugt der Klang des Gongs kraftvolle Wellen, die durch den ganzen Körper fliessen, jede Zelle berühren und jeden Gedanken und jedes Gefühl klären und harmonisieren. Du wirst alles loslassen, was du nicht mehr benötigst.
Der Gong führt dich genau dorthin, wo deine Seele sein möchte. Unsere Reise geht mit den vier Elementen (Feuer, Luft, Erde und Wind) weiter. Dein Herz wird spüren, was du als Nächstes benötigst, und du wirst Antworten aus deinem Inneren erhalten.
💫 Mögliche Wirkungen der Klangtherapie:
• Tiefe Entspannung
• Befreiung von Anspannung
• Abbau von Stress und Ängsten
• Verbesserter Schlaf und erhöhte Konzentration
• Regeneration des Nerven- und Hormonsystems
• Emotionales und energetisches Gleichgewicht
• Auflösung unbewusster Muster und Ängste
• Verbesserung der Durchblutung und der Beweglichkeit, Entspannung der Muskeln
🎵 Klangtherapie ist eine uralte, spirituelle Methode der Heilung, Verjüngung und Transformation.
Heute ist sie eine der natürlichsten Methoden, um mit sich selbst und seiner Lebensenergie in Verbindung zu treten.
💖 Kommen Sie und teilen Sie diese Erfahrung – lassen Sie uns gemeinsam in den Raum des Klangs eintauchen, wo sich der Körper entspannt, der Geist Frieden findet und das Herz sich daran erinnert, was Liebe ist.
Anmeldung hier oder online: www.om-center.ch
Bezahlung vor Ort auch möglich per Twint, Karte oder bar.

On our sound journey, we’ll guide you into deep relaxation using crystal singing bowls. Then, the sound of the gong will create powerful waves that flow through your entire body, touching every cell and clearing and harmonizing every thought and feeling. You’ll let go of everything you no longer need.
The gong guides you exactly where your soul wants to be. Our journey continues with the four elements (fire, air, earth, and wind). Your heart will sense what you need next, and you will receive answers from within.
💫 Possible effects of sound therapy:
• Deep relaxation
• Release of tension
• Reduction of stress and anxiety
• Improved sleep and increased concentration
• Regeneration of the nervous and endocrine systems
• Emotional and energetic balance
• Dissolution of unconscious patterns and fears
• Improved circulation and mobility, relaxation of muscles
🎵 Sound therapy is an ancient, spiritual method of healing, rejuvenation, and transformation.
Today, it is one of the most natural ways to connect with yourself and your life energy.
💖 Come and share this experience—let's dive into the space of sound together, where the body relaxes, the mind finds peace, and the heart remembers what love is.

If the event will happen in more than 30 days, I haven't added the survey in the channel yet. (Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins. But you can already enter the corresponding WhatsApp group)
If you are concerned about privacy, only the admin of a WhatsApp channel can see who has voted in a poll (unlike a WhatsApp group).
Please sign up only when you are certain!
You can also register through Meetup, as it helps build momentum; however, I rely only on the number of people who signed up through the WhatsApp survey.

"Metal Slinger" by Rachel Schneider
Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider!
Book description:
Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.
Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.
Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series
