Reiki Sound Experience w/ New Blue Light Vision Council
Jan
10

Reiki Sound Experience w/ New Blue Light Vision Council

Sit back, lay around, get cozy, close your eyes, and let yourself RELAX.

Allow your body to absorb the frequencies and vibrations, on a cellular level. Meditate, imagine, sleep, trance, to aid in your own well being, and paths to self healing.

Science, Spiritual History, and Myself, have combined testimonies, dating back thousands of years, that encourage sound as guides of creation. Many instruments, including Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, Chimes, Drums, Mantra, Chant, Spiritual Focus, and Reiki intention, are used to manifest this atmosphere of “Reiki Sound”.

The only way to really feel this though, is to EXPERIENCE it.

We encourage signing up, due to space considerations, but drop in is welcome as well. Donations are welcomed and much appreciated!

Comfort is utmost important, dress cozy. Please feel free to bring a lawn chair, floor mat, blanket, sleeping bag, pillow, beverages, snack, eye masks, your favorite aromatherapy scent, and teddy bear.

This event is hosted by Julie DeLeon, sound artist, reiki practitioner, and founder of the New Blue Light Vision Council.
