From the Heart Sound Journey with Cacao Ceremony

  • Benji Salon & Spa 3950 Lake Michigan Drive Northwest Grand Rapids, MI, 49534 United States (map)

Valentines Day! We will start with intention setting and mindfully drinking cacao. Cacao is packed with flavonoids. These nutrients help lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, and help prevent blood clots. As an excellent source of antioxidants, iron, protein, magnesium, potassium and fiber. The brain is an incredibly complex piece of 'machinery', and cacao has a positive impact through neurotransmitters like happy hormones dopamine and serotonin. It makes us happy, reduces stress, strengthens our focus and creative flow, helps the body heal, detoxifies, and gives our immune system a good boost.

We will then get comfortable and open into the sound journey with meditation - 75 minutes immersed in sounds from various instruments, along with a guided iRest® Yoga Nidra meditation. Time spent tapping into rest and ease which allows you to pause for self-reflection. A sound journey helps clear the energetic and physical body while bringing harmony and resilience to your system. Allow yourself to be transported with the sacred sounds used throughout the ages to create vibrational tones specifically crafted for healing. These elements are richly woven into a meditation experience designed to restore balance.

What to Bring: An open mind along with plenty of supports such as a yoga mat, couple of blankets and two pillows (bolsters) and an eye cover. You'll be laying on the floor so the more props, the better! Also, a journal to write down your experience afterwards. A chair can be provided.

*Please arrive at least 15 minutes early so you have time to set up your sacred space.

Cost: $35 a person or $60 for two people. Payment made via Venmo: KarenMarie-Rothenberger by Friday, February 10, 2023. (No refunds) Space limited to 20 people.
