Kundalini / Shamanic Inner Dance Sound Journey
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Each session has a different group of people, so each session is very much unique. However, to give you some idea of the flow of a session... we will begin by getting to know each other as we talk about the experience we are going to share. We will ground & connect with our kundalini energy or the elements. You will be invited to lie down & relax on a yoga mat, before embarking on your internal journey supported by sound & live instruments. The music & tribal instruments support healing & deep connection with self, navigating through theta & beta brain waves to flow through subtle trance states leading to pure consciousness to surrender to Source.This journey is unique for everyone, some people dance, some people connect with the cosmos, some people rest & return rejuvenated. If energy work has been agreed, I will work intuitively with any energy (chakra) blocks to support your flow in the journey. This may or may not involve touch - dependent on what has been agreed at the start of the session. We will close the journey with grounding processes & with an expression of the experience.
WHAT TO BRING?
Yoga mat / Blanket (a limited number will be available for use)
Water bottle
