SOOTHING SOUNDS & INSPIRATION DECEMBER 11, 6:30-8:30PM
Let's celebrate the season together with some healthy festive cheer following the Sound Healing session.
We are always looking for healthy and uplifting social connections so bring friends and enjoy the evening together.
This, the last month of the year, we will reflect, let go of things we do not want to carry into our new year, and set intensions for our new year!
Enjoy the soft, healing tones in this cozy and beautiful space. We will stretch, breathe, and connect with Deb Taylor for an evening of awesome!
A sound bath with Deb Taylor is a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience that blends the soothing tones of crystal singing bowls with guided meditations. The session begins with a few minutes of gentle somatic yogic movement, inviting you to connect body and mind while tuning into your inner sensations. This mindful movement helps release physical tension and prepares your body to fully absorb the healing vibrations.
Once settled, you’ll be guided through mindfulness and guided imagery meditations, grounding yourself and exploring the depths of your consciousness. The calming hum of the crystal singing bowls fills the space as Deb plays rain sticks, gently washing away any remaining stress.
To elevate your energy, Koshi chimes are introduced, their higher frequencies creating a sense of lightness and uplifting your spirit. All of this unfolds in the beautiful and serene setting in Oakville, providing a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. By the end of this hour-long journey, your mind will be clear and calm, creating the ideal space for setting intentions for the weeks and months ahead. This experience brings balance, clarity, and deep inner peace.
Feel the tranquil vibrations of the rain stick, harmony bells, drumming, chimes, singing bowls, and more.
As we let go of the tensions we no longer need to carry and ground in self-acceptance, our calm creativity will flow.
It's a good time to designate extra awareness to these self-supporting practices.
We will work on creating a deep sense of belonging in the world as we maintain awareness on our emotional growth and maturity.
We will uplift our state of being.
This is a great time to reset and focus on your next steps in each and every month, so seize this opportunity to do something truly good for you.
Peace of mind in the office
We know how important it is to feel supported and appreciated.
Nothing says, "I want you to be your best," like time spent on your team's wellbeing.
Your Sound Relaxation Session
A sound relaxation session with Deb is a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience that blends the soothing tones of crystal singing bowls, koshi chimes, rain sticks, and other beautiful instruments for tension relief.
