Breathwork Journey.
The breathwork that we will practice in this journey is called conscious connected circular breathing. This type of breathwork can help with nervous system resetting, emotional release, stress reduction, increased vitality, increase in awareness, new insights, empowerment and self-discovery, and to help break-up physical tension stored in the body (chronic pain). It is also a beneficial somatic exercise. The process can bring the practitioner to an inner journey and sometimes a non-ordinary state of consciousness. Breathwork is an ancient process for healing that continues to be used to this day by modern healers. Each person’s experience is unique and unfolds on its own. Your own experience will be its best definition.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga nidra involves slowing down and chilling out. So does meditation. While some people tend to lump them together, they really are two different practices. Yoga nidra is like meditation, but yet it’s not. There are overlaps, but there also are key differences. With yoga nidra, you are lying down and the goal is to move into a deep state of conscious awareness sleep, which is a deeper state of relaxation with awareness. A recent study showed that while meditation and yoga nidra were both effective in reducing anxiety and stress, yoga nidra seemed to be more effective in reducing anxiety. The study also suggested that yoga nidra can be a useful tool in reducing both cognitive and physiological symptoms of anxiety.
Beginners Shamanic Journeying
This class is for people who are new to or curious about shamanic journeying! We each have the ability to personally connect with a divine support system which is available to us at all times. The shamanic journey is one of the ways we can access our spiritual guidance through direct revelation and has been an empowering practice relied upon for 40,000 years. During a shamanic journey, drumming is used to help shift youinto a trance state where you can meet your compassionatehelping spirits and ask to receive guidance, wisdom and healing. Together we will begin by learning about different gates of perception, meeting our power animals and exploring a variety of exercises to help discover and strengthen our journeying skills.
Drum/Rattle Journey Circle
Offered monthly, this Circle is intended to be a positive and supportive gathering in which we will come together with each other and our compassionate helping spirits. We’ll spend our time drumming then taking personal shamanic journeys to explore our inner landscapes where we’ll have the opportunity to receiveteachings and healings from our divine allies. There will also be time to share our experiences with each other if we wish. There will be a few spare drums available and offered for use.
Sound Healing
Utilizing the soothing sounds of singing bowls, chimes, drums and her own voice, Giselle combines her background in meditation and training in music to create a soundscape journey, in which she guides you to explore your inner world at new depths, in a way that is at once stimulating, and restful. Be prepared to experience bliss and unconditional self love.
