Sound Healing
We all know how our bodies tend to react to sudden sounds that can trigger our fight-or-flight response, this knowledge provides insight into the impact of sounds on our nervous system.
Incorporating therapeutic sounds to counteract the stressors we face daily can significantly benefit and calm our nervous system.
Whether actively (chanting mantras) or passively (tuning into healing frequencies), both can be considered forms of sound therapy. For a more immersive experience, consider participating in a sound bath like our Thursday 8:30am Restorative Yoga and Sound Healing class, where you can relax and reap the benefits of sound healing without any effort from the comfort of home!
Forest Bathing
Forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-yoku, is a simple (and free!) spiritual activity originating from Japan that deeply affects your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Forest bathing is a great way to cultivate mindfulness and deepen our connection with nature.
Find a serene spot in nature where you can take a leisurely walk on your own (a park or even your backyard will do just fine!). Keep your phone switched off or leave it in your car to disconnect and fully appreciate the sights, sounds, and scents of the environment.
Follow your senses and trust your intuition. Embrace your inner child's curiosity and let yourself fully experience the textures of the earth and trees, exposing your bare hands and feet creates a grounding effect. Take all the time you need to immerse yourself in the forest.
Crystal Healing
Crystals, similar to light, sound, and aromatherapy, are utilized for vibrational healing. Their effectiveness is attributed to their strong primary resonance frequency, or vibration.
Everything in our surroundings vibrates,
and due to their impeccable molecular structure, crystals possess highly robust and steady vibrations.
Our imperfections at the molecular level make it easier for higher vibrations to influence our own vibration. By being in contact with or surrounded by crystals, their frequencies can elevate our body's vibration through the principle of entrainment.
Create a sacred space
Creating a sacred space in our homes can infuse our life with magical intentions.
It provides a wonderful opportunity to repurpose sentimental items that may be scattered around our home in a unique way, while also serving as a symbol of our spiritual growth.
Creating a sacred area or shrine doesn't require a large space or costly setup. We can achieve this by dedicating just a square foot of space on a table, although utilizing an entire room is also an option if feasible. An altar serves as the designated space for your sacred items and should be located in an area less likely to be disrupted by pets or children.
Make the most of your sacred space for praying, meditating, doing yoga, or journaling—the opportunities are endless! Let your imagination guide you in setting up your space in a manner that sparks inspiration and encourages you to visit it regularly.
