We are delighted to continue our work with Kristina Baker Kenny and bring you her 2 days (weekend) of learning this Summer.This Further Learning 2 day short course is ideal for those already working within or curious about working within Holistics. It's a weekend dedicated to feeling out a large array of Sound Healing instruments.
Kristina's teaching and facilitating approach is centred around the deep understanding of Energetics
SOUND AND ENERGY
Sound healing fundamentally revolves around the comprehension of energy dynamics. The practise is built around the idea that sound vibrations can influence and harmonize energy within the body, promoting healing and balance.
By recognizing the relationship between sound and energy, practitioners can utilize specific frequencies to facilitate emotional and physical well-being, ultimately fostering a deeper connection to one's inner self and the surrounding environment.
WHAT IS SOUND HEALING
Sound healing is a therapeutic practice that utilizes sound frequencies and vibrations to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This approach often involves instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks, which are believed to facilitate relaxation and balance within the body. By engaging with these sounds, individuals may experience reduced stress, enhanced mood, and improved overall health, as the vibrations resonate with the body's energy centers, fostering a sense of harmony and restoration.
This connection
-
fosters a greater awareness of body alignment
-
creates a deeper mind-body connection
-
leads to a more profound, transformative experience on the mat
Ultimately, yoga assists cultivate an environment of trust and support, allowing students to relax into their practice and discover their own potential for growth and self-discovery.
