Music, Art, and Activism Movement Presents: Sound Healing/Yoga Nidra Benefit for Women’s Rights

Welcome to our monthly Benefit Sound Bath Series! My mission behind creating this series is to bring more peace to the community and to the world. It is designed to fill you with serenity, and healing that you can spread throughout your community, while at the same time helping nonprofit organizations throughout the nation and the world. This month, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Women’s Fund of Hawaii This Yoga Nidra/Sound Healing event is designed to help bring a little peace, and comfort to your life. These are stressful times, and it is more important than ever to take time to care for yourself. We hope this session helps fill your cup and energizes you to care for others, and to face the long journey ahead towards creating a more equitable society for all. The more we bond together and support each other through difficult times, the stronger we will be as a whole. We are more powerful together! Monique will guide the first half of the session with a gentle yoga routine set to crystal singing bowls to encourage relaxation and finding your center. You will then lay down for the practice of “yoga nidra” or yogic sleep. This is a guided meditation that deeply relaxes the body, breath and mind while leading the practitioner into an “in-between place” – a state between awake and asleep. It is here that one can truly de-stress, rejuvenate and let go. During the second half of the class Bryan will immerse you in a musical sound journey with the crystal singing bowls. It is designed to help you reach a theta brainwave state, where deep healing, and rest occurs. You will leave the class feeling rejuvenate, restored, and with more peace in your heart.
