*********************************
Men’s Gong Bath Wed. June 29, 6:30-7:30pm.
Special class for men to reduce stress and experience the healing power of sound. Lie back, relax, breathe and listen to the ancient healing sounds of the gongs.
The vibration of a gong is a powerful method for reducing stress. Known as a Gong Bath, the gong creates an ocean of sound that is profoundly relaxing; a state which activates the parasympathetic nervous system to balance the over-amped, over-taxed sympathetic nervous system. Water has often been used as an analogy for the rippling effect of the gong’s vibrations, partially because our bodies are approximately 70 percent water and water serves to conduct sound waves. Like ripples created by a pebble skipped onto a glassy lake, the gong’s sound gently reverberates over, around and through the entire body to calm, relax and soothe. Typically, the listener’s heart rate slows, blood pressure drops and breath is restored to its natural rhythm. The gong induces a holistic resonance in the body and a spontaneous meditative state in the mind, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and wholeness.
Sound is now being used as an important part of the healing process for cancer patients, as it helps calm the mind and body and assists in the management of pain. The sound of the gong cuts through mental chatter and quickly creates a meditative state and deep relaxation. Dr. Oberbeck cites research saying, “Meditative states have repeatedly alleviated or reversed many disorders and disease states. Many studies show that meditation helps relieve high blood pressure, stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and chronic pain. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the body are positively affected by a Gong Bath.”
Energy exchange- $25.

This is a journey of Transformation. You will learn how to easily heal issues that come up for you.
Do you want to have more fun and joy in your life?
Do you want to feel connected to your Spirit?
Do you ever get triggered?
Have you ever pretended that all was fine, when inside you actually felt afraid, angry or sad?
Do you react strongly to certain situations rather than respond?
These feelings are coming up to be healed. The inner child is responsible for these feelings and the attitudes and conclusions reached as a child still live inside us. The inner child is also our JOY and Playfulness, which is a result of reconnecting inside.
We will bring breathwork into the inner child experiences to uncover and heal feelings that our conscious minds would take years to reach. No prior experience in breathwork is necessary. We will also experience the fun and laughter. 🙂
