 Finding inner balance and harmony with the 5 Elements.
Message from DCastell, sound weaver: Many of us find it challenging to maintain balance and harmony in our lives. We also recognize the imbalances and disharmony in our outer world. This is where the spiritual principle As Above So Below, As Inside So Outside can feel empowering. By bringing balance and harmony inside ourselves we serve our own health and vitality and at the same time mirror these qualities to our outside world. In effect we become the change we wish to see in our world. :: ELEMENTAL INFUSION is a warm invitation to embark on an inner journey into the heart of harmony. Drawing on her personal relationship with the 5 Master Elements, Danielea invokes their presence in the room and flows these primordial energies through her medicine music. Earth Air Fire Water and Ether each have their own healing qualities and you can ask for and receive what you need to BE balance and harmony inside. Feeling stuck? Ask Water and Air for more flow and spontaneity. Feeling lost and confused? Ask Earth for grounding and connection. Feeling toxic and tired of limiting beliefs? Ask Fire to purify them and Water to cleanse and nourish you. Need a new vision for your life? Call in Ether and Air as your co-creators. Whatever your challenges these ancient forces are willing to assist us in restoring a world with peace, balance and harmony – on the inside and out. What is a musical medicine journey? A meditation accompanied by live inspirational music and chanting using voice, drum, flute, harmonium and crystal bowls. For this special experience with the 5 Elements we will have an opening share and time after the journey for journaling. :: Will the Master Elements really partner with us?

Is it hard for you to sit still and relax? Does the idea of singing or using your voice scare you? Sound Temple may be the answer for you. :: Sound Temple is a sacred space where the power of Love, Voice and Vision are mobilized for self-empowerment and Earth harmony. Empower your voice and develop meditation skills through: Vocal Meditation - humming, toning and chanting Sound Healing - receiving vocal and instrumental vibrations for the purpose of deep relaxation, healing and insights. Subtle Activism - directing collective prayer and meditation towards social and planetary change :: How does it work? When our mind is focussed on our breath, the natural vibrations in our voice help our body relax, our feelings to flow and our spirit to align with the unified field of consciousness. In this state of wholeness we become a source and conduit for wholeness in the world. Other common benefits of vocal meditation and sound healing include: - feeling connected, happy and light - reduction in physical pain, tension and stress - a calm clear mind - greater lung capacity and vocal confidence - access to creative insights and visions Vocal Meditation practices can be used solo, with a friend or in a group.

We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives." ---
Gary Zukav SPRING Spring is the beginning of a new cycle, a time for planting new seeds in anticipation of a bountiful harvest in summer and fall. Whether the seeds are for flowers or food, the seeds journey is always one of awakening and growing according to its divine blueprint deep within. For us as human beings spring is also a time of awakening – to new or remembered desires and dreams – given to us to manifest so we may bring more joy and light into our lives, families and communities. ******************************** Kirtan is a very different kind of music.

Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. While seated on chairs, students can do versions of twists, hip stretches, forward bends, and mild backbends. In addition to a good stretch, chair yoga participants can also enjoy other health benefits of yoga, including improved muscle tone, better breathing habits, reduction of stress, better sleep, and a sense of well-being. Who Can Do Chair Yoga? Those of you with disabilities, weight challenges, inflexibility, or who just cannot get on the floor for whatever reason can benefit from -yoga on a chair. The chair replaces the yoga mat and becomes an extension of your body allowing you to take full advantage of yoga’s amazing fitness and health potential. Office workers can also take advantage of chair yoga's adaptations to sneak in some stretches at work May 4, 11, 18, 25, 2019 |
