STARBRIGHT - A Relaxing Sound Bath for School Age Children - New Westminster
This is your invitation to a relaxing Sound Bath experience led by Lyn Sakari, certified meditation teacher, reiki practitioner, Sound Ceremonialist and Early Childhood Educator with over twenty years of experience working with children and families.
This special offering is for school age children accompanied by an adult who cares for them to experience a relaxing sound bath together. Lyn will guide you into a comfortable position and then lead into a developmentally appropriate guided visualization followed by a sound bath using Crystal Tones alchemy singing bowls and various other instruments such as ocean drums and chimes selected to evoke a sense of calm and restoration. . Modern science is now confirming the transformational effects of this ancient practice and it's ability to rekindle harmony to mind, body and spirit. This is an experience to be FELT in real life and can benefit all ages.
Benefits include calm and peaceful states as brain waves shift from an active state (Beta) to a relaxed state (Alpha) or a dreamlike state (Theta) and the parasympathetic nervous system is signalled - inducing rest and recovery. The healing benefits of this practice can reverberate long after the session end and can include boosted mood, enhanced immune response, cellular repair, enhanced creativity, reduced stress and anxiety.
No previous experience is required, all you need to do is rest and receive the soothing waves of vibrations from the sound healing instruments.
Come in your pajamas if you wish and settle into this experience as part of your bedtime routine!
