The experience will start with a mini informational lecture about the healing potential of sound and the healing process of yin and restorative yoga. We will also discuss the power of combining the two together, Yin/Restorative + Sound healing. Deri, a Sound therapist will bring her unique style and play from a wide variety of instruments  (singing bowls, to tuning forks, bells, Chimes, etc.).  Enjoy Deri’s instrumentals while Auran guides you through a one hour yin + restorative practice.   Then dive into an extended sound healing savasana for the second hour. All attendees will receive individual sound healing during the final savasana as well. The experience will be closed with a group meditation.

Sound baths are very healing to our entire being: Mind, body, emotions, and soul. The power of sound healing has been used for thousands of years by most ancient cultures around the world. Sound works to harmonize our bio-electromagnetic field on a vibrational level. It also restructures and harmonizes the water molecules in our bodies on a physical and cellular level. Sound baths activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows the body to relax, rejuvenate and self-heal. Sound baths facilitate inner peace, wellness and stress reduction.

Sound has been used for thousands of years in order to transport human consciousness into other realms/states of consciousness. The drum was the first instrument ever created. The earliest shamans used the sounds of the drum as a medium to transcend ordinary states of consciousness. This is called shamanic journeying, and it was done in order to have a direct experience with the spirit world/astral plane. Humans are able to access certain knowledge and information in these altered states of consciousness. We can then bring that information back and integrate it into physical reality and waking life. When we are able to bypass our conscious mind, we have access to information that is typically beyond our conscious reach.

About Deri’s Sound Instruments:

The crystal bowls are tuned to 432 hertz, which will create a sense of harmony and connection back to oneself and the universe. 432 is one of the most important numbers and can be seen time and time again expressed all over the physical universe and in nature (through frequency, sacred geometry, time, space, and mathematics) as well as seen at ancient sites around the world. The 432 hertz crystal singing bowls will help restore and harmonize mind, body, heart and soul, to the natural and organic order of the cosmos.

She uses a theta binaural beat crystal bowl set. This set allows one to dive deep into the subconscious mind and experience deep meditation by entraining the mind to theta brainwaves. This set is a very powerful tool, capable of balancing both hemispheres of the brain while dropping brainwaves down to the theta state. Theta state is the deepest forms of meditation, a direct connection to the subconscious mind. Focusing on and listening to the sounds helps one to experience deeper meditative states and easier.
