Life is ruled by invisible forces. When the wind blows we cannot hold it in our hands — yet we feel it touch our skin. As distant as the Moon seems, its gravitational pull on Earth plays an incredible role in tide formation and movement. As the Moon pushes Earth’s shape from round to oval, we witness the tides rise (when passing through the bulges), and fall (when passing through the low points). Energy is the same. It is intangible — yet we experience it — as it animates all parts of our being, from each movement and heartbeat to every thought and dream.
The cosmic frequencies of May 1 through May 9 will be a slightly different flavor than April’s intense energetic ‘sandwich’ (that was filled with Yang energy). Whereas a Solar Eclipse presents new possibilities — with the intent of shaking life up to move us forward — a Lunar Eclipse creates final endings. Energetically, a Lunar Eclipse will impact us emotionally — as we become intently aware of the passage of time and perhaps experience sentiment or regret..
Again, we can more easily align and integrate the incoming energetic frequencies, when we leverage Qi Gong, acupressure and sound meditation practices.
Qi Gong is the practice of moving life force energy (qi) via cultivated physical movement (gong). it is considered the ancient root of all Chinese Medicine practices and many branches of Qi Gong have developed over 5000 years.
Sound meditation is an immersive listening experience using intention and sound to clear dissonance and invite in a more peaceful, resonant state of being. For centuries, sound has been utilized by cultures around the world to bring balance and healing to the body, mind and spirit. Sound meditation utilizes specific instruments, music, tones, and other sonic vibrations. Although there is limited clinical research, recent studies have demonstrated statistically significant outcomes of stress reduction, elevated mood, decreased tension and improved spiritual wellbeing.
The very special class begins with a 20-minute Qi practice, focused on balancing the incoming Lunar Eclipse energies and stabilizing the energetic influences on the physical, emotional and energetic bodies. Participants will then settle into a lying position for a brief guided visualization. The remainder of class is filled with meditative sound from crystal singing bowls, gong, drums, chimes and/or voice.
Cost: $33 per class.
