For thousands of years, humans have used sound as a tool
for improving physical and emotional health and well-being. Modern sound healing
uses specially tuned, high quality meditative instruments to create an
immersive sensory concert of sound and vibration for deep physical rest,
balanced nervous system, and a sustained mental calm. Also known as sound
baths, these frequencies allow our body and mind to harmonize, enhancing our
clarity and creativity while reducing stress and anxiety.
Join founder of Inner Sounds Meditation, Melissa
Felsenstein, for a deep dive into sound healing and its positive benefits for
your mind, body, and spirit. Melissa shares behind-the-scenes insights into the
anatomy of a sound bath - how sound baths are designed, how the sounds affect
our nervous systems, and how it transforms us. Melissa will discuss both
western neuroscience and eastern spiritual concepts that are relevant to sound
as a healing modality. With many opportunities for active listening exercises,
this workshop helps participants develop a foundational understanding of key
concepts, instruments, and techniques commonly used in sound healing.
The workshop will culminate with a full sound bath to
demonstrate and reinforce the day’s lessons along with ample time for
reflective journaling and sharing.
Whether you are interested in deepening your sound
healing experience, developing an individual practice, or seeking to enhance an
existing practice, you will gain insights and tools to unlock the full power of
sound.
