EQUINOX CLEARING
Autumn have always been my favorite season, I have always felt more at home in front of a fire place and walking through piles of leaves in the forrest, than at a beach in full sunshine. Perhaps it is my more introverted side that is allowed more peace, space and reflection in the midst of autumn. However, the transition from summer to autumn has always been the most challenging shift for my physical body.
In Chinese medicine autumn is linked to the lungs and large intestine, and beautiful medicines for this season is breathing and taking care of our immune system. Connected to these organs are the emotions of grief and sadness and the art of letting go. In the Ayurvedic tradition autumn is the Vata season, where we are recomeneded to provide stability and warmth for soothing our nervous system. Both perspective make sense to me and have helped me understand why this particular shift of season is the most challenging for me. In astrology the Equinox is marked by the Sun entering Libra which is about finding balance and harmony from within. Under this Equinox we will have a big influx of Piscean energy, maybe that is why softness, compassion, balance and harmony feels extra important.
The intention of this half-day retreat is to welcome the arrival of Autumn and together make space for clearing and softening into a new season. We will breathe it out and wrap ourselves in a warm soft blanket with the Alchemy Crystal Singing bowls, we will sip a herbal brew, receive nourishing snacks and embrace the beauty of togetherness. I will share some astrology musing with you and my reflection on the present energies. Come and join for this equinox celebration.
WHAT IS BREATHWORK?
The Breath is just like Sound a great tool for taking us out of that rational left side brain space, to bypass the logical mind and move into our subconscious, emotional layers and our body. This type of Breathwork is a mouth breathing practice, and stimulates hypothalamus located in the crown chakra, that releases endorphins which increase our vibration/electrical current that moves though the nervous system. The increased vibration hits against any blocks that sits in its way and support us in dissolving them through different forms of release. We are simply allowing energy to move stagnation and open up new pathways. A Breathwork can be both, clearing, integrative, aligning and activating, so an openness to the practice is always the best approach, trusting that the breath will take you were its needed. During the event you will be breathing in and out of your mouth for around 30 minutes.
WHAT IS SOUND-HEALING?
Sound is born by vibration and is created when vibration meet the air. Sound has been a primary tool for creation and evolution since the beginning of times. All ancient civilizations have used the sound either as a technology or a medicine or both. It is an honor to be the conduit of sound through the Alchemy Singing Crystal Bowls. The sound of the bowls puts us into an alpha (or theta state) where we simply allow the intelligence of our human beingness to heal itself, bypassing the mind, and any resistance we might have of receiving. The research done on the relation between the ear, the brain and the nervous system show that sound balance the brain. The sequence of small bones in the ear, has the function of putting the entire cranium into resonance and mobilize the nervous system, which in turn regulates muscle tensions and the position of the body. Sound simply affects our entire being. I find these kinds of bowls to be especially precise in its vibration, targeting the parts of your system that needs balancing, clearing and refilling. My bowl family is selected to ground and align and activate the Endocrine System, balancing the glands and hormones which runs the show of our emotions.
