I start the session with a little breathing exercise and a heart mediation to allow us to connect with our intention and inner wisdom. You will be lying on your mats or sitting in a chair if you have mobility concerns, I will then start playing the instruments that will lead into the Gong's sound. After the sounds stop, I will allow several minutes of Sunyata (emptiness, spaciousness) and then I will guide you to back from relaxation and grounding, after which you can stretch and enjoy that beautiful moment of fullness. It is important to keep your mind open to the experience - the vibration of the sound will bring you what your body, mind and spirit need at that particular moment in time and space.
