Group Sessions: Sound Journeys and Cacao ceremony

Group sessions are tailored for our customers.  I am offering different options:

1 - Qigong flow with sound healing relaxation - 90 minutes

The session starts with a Qigong flow practice to open our heart, and release stagnant energy within the body so that the participant’s body and mind are open to receive the healing frequencies of the sacred sounds.

Through guided meditation and drum beats, participant’s naturally go into a deep state of relaxation, immersed by healing sounds and are ready for their sound journey.

As I am playing a  wide variety of sound healing instruments participants go onto into a deep state of relaxation. Immersed into an ocean of sound and vibrations,  the body recalibrates itself as every cells in the physical body receive and resonate with the harmonious vibrations. The sound journey  calms the mind bringing clarity, balances the emotions . It is a journey within, allowing us to connect with our authentic self/inner guidance.

Being in that state of deep relaxation, feelings of peace flood throughout the body, and feelings of joy might arise. It gives us an opportunity of detachment to our current situation, seeing things from a different perspective and without using our mental but rather our inner wisdom.

This 90 minutes session starts with a breathing practice to calm the mind and balance the nervous system, followed by a couple of warm ups to circulate the Qi (life force energy) within the body, based on the Qigong flow practice.  Participants are then guided into a deep state of relaxation. As they are surrounded and immersed by the healing sounds and vibrations they will naturally go into a deep meditative state and start their journey. 

‍“Sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our body.”

The Sound healing instruments:

I am playing a variety of sound healing instruments:  the symphonic gong, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, crystal pyramid, chimes, drum and more. 

The sacred sound of the gong clears blockages and restores the free flow of vital energy throughout the body. The mind cannot resist the sound of the gong so you will enter in a very peaceful state of mind.

The sound frequency of singing bowls harmonizes our vibrating cells through oscillation and resonance, it brings our mind in a meditative state (alpha and theta brain waves) which creates a general emotional wellbeing.

2 - A cacao ceremony, a short Qigong flow and a thorough sound journey - 2 hour minimum

Going much deeper within and into a state of profound relaxation, balancing our energies and raising our vibrations: A cacao ceremony a combination of our Qigong flow practice with a longer sound journey session. For the longer session we also include some breathwork.

A two hour to three hour session  for ultimate wellbeing. 

Cacao ceremonies trace their origins to indigenous traditions in Central and South America. In these regions, cacao has long been used for its medicinal and ceremonial properties. Cacao is known as  “the food of the Gods”, it is one of the highest food sources of antioxidants and minerals, rich in mood-enhancing compounds.

The cacao ceremony is designed to bring us in an uplifted state, , open our heart, develop our awareness and intuition, promote clarity of thoughts, and inspire our creativity.

This session also includes gentle flowing movements inspired by the practice of the Qigong, allowing us to release tension and express ourselves at the beat of the music. 

Based on the theme and purpose of the session, we practice together a short breath work, transitioning into the guided meditation which leads us into the thorough sound journey. Participants receive the sound healing vibrations from the instruments such as the gong, the Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, the crystal pyramid, chimes and more. Receiving these frequencies allows harmonious vibrations of each and every cell in our body and enables our self-healing abilities. Once the state of inner peace sets in, it facilitates our intuitive faculty.  As our mind stops chatting, we remember who we truly are, connecting to our inner wisdom. It gives us an opportunity of detachment to our current situation, seeing things from a different perspective and allowing us to be a creative visionary.

An experience that is deeply relaxing and uplifting so it can be incredibly healing and empowering!

Studies have shown that a simple twenty-minute yoga style session could improve concentration and memory capacities. Meditation and breathing exercises help to silence the noise and clear the clutter, letting the participants be more alert and focused. As the sound journey and the Qigong flow practice release stress and bring an energetic balance on the physical and emotional level, it allow to declutter the mind, and reduce the feelings of being overwhelmed and the anxiety.

Increases positivity

Increases vitality and slow down aging

Moving the body and stretching helps the energy to flow smoothly and reduces fatigue.  Stretching or physical activity also increases blood circulation. Practicing Qigong is known for removing stagnant Qi (life force energy) and supports a good circulation of energy and blood. Qigong is know as a practice helping to slow down aging.

Alleviates physical pain due to sitting long hours and posture

If you are suffering from regular headaches, carpal tunnel, neck strain, shoulder stiffness, and musculoskeletal disorders, chances are that it  affects your mood, creativity and productivity.  Moving the body, stretching and some specific exercises help alleviate the pain. In Qigong we have special flows to improve posture, relieve neck, shoulders and lower back pain. As we promote a smooth flow of energy, it also positively impacts  the muscles, tendons and ligaments. 

Qigong is a soft practice, all movements are done smoothly and participants should never use force but rather intention to do the movements.

Participants should wear comfortable clothes, bring a yoga mat or a blanket to lie down for the final relaxation, and a pillow, an additional blanket or a sweater for extra comfort.
