We are invited to harmonize with the slower dance this offers, and to mark the transition as a personal ceremony of self-honouring and deep rest.
Orietta will take attendees on a journey through an inner temple of sound & meditation, intention setting & releasing, sharing & affirmation, energy balancing and sensing. Space is held for us to consider how to bring the outer ceremony of the earth’s transition into our home or life and recognise the harmony of ‘so within so without’. Through being receptive to gentle sound waves, self-honouring meditative words, positive intention and vocal harmonics, we nurture our true alignment with all that is and change from doing to BEing. The session weaves in the seasonal lessons of the forces of creation: earth, water, air, fire, spirit to support our transition to release and self-honouring.
Session features:
--------------------
- heavenly sound bath - with quartz crystal chakra balancing bowls, vocal harmonics, wind chimes, Himalayan bowls and other meditative sacred sounds
- releasing yoga nidra - with accompanying instrumentation of shruti box, sansula, soothing chant and sensational percussion
- seated energy sensing meditation
- seasonal intention setting
- collective ‘Earth Oracle’ card insight
- invitation to reflect or journal upon one’s own seasonal ceremony abundance, tempo and release
What to expect at this Sound Bath/Yoga Nidra
-------------------------------------------------------------
Orietta’s sound baths and nidras are gentle and restful with intention to radiate our inner light and essence. We will hear heavenly vocal 'tones' that further support the frequency balancing sound waves. The crystal and himalayan bowls offer a hypnotic, angelic and meditative sound for a creative rest. The sounds resonate with our energy centres and might be felt as waves or gentle vibrations that harmonize the system. You will be invited to lie down comfortably using your blankets, pillows etc. The Yoga Nidra practice can support a forgetting of the body and connection with the inner teacher to support a return to one’s heart-centre. You are verbally guided through your body and into a nature based visualisation, accompanied with sound to sink deeply into an embodied and restful state. You’ll be guided to return in a fully grounded and embodied process, feeling refreshed and ready for the week ahead.
