Full Moon Meditation
with Kriya and Healing Circle
$5

Moon

Saturday, May 25, 2013
9:30 PM to 11:30 PM

 

The Waxing Moon is the time between the New Moon and the day before the Full Moon. During this time the energy of the body moves into your higher centers (chakras). This is the time to bring new things, new people and new relationships into your life and to accelerate the progress of your special projects.

You are naturally accelerated on a full moon and at your highest energy level. This is a great time to save your energy to reconstruct yourself.

To maximize your energetic potential, we will be offering the "The Brain Doctor" kriya. This series reduces overall body tension and enhances the awareness of the Self so that the inner creative Self can project its essence outward. Our kriya will be followed by relaxation guided by the sound of the gong and specific full moon meditations that include a tantric healing circle.

The tantric healing circle meditation requires a minimum of 11 participants so be sure to invite family, friends, loved ones!

Ayurveda literally means "the science of life". It is a system of holistic medicine and way of life originating in India over 5000 years ago.  Considered the sister science of yoga, they share many of the same philosophies and practices.  Ayurveda stresses the art of balance and prevention, using your individual constitution as a guide.

Never tried Reiki before? Reiki is an ancient Japanese energetic therapy intended to help heal physical and emotional pain through the transmission of ''Vital Energy''. This transmission is accomplished when a trained Reiki practitioner places their hands gently on or above the recipient's body. Reiki is used to release stress, pain and emotional tensions. It stimulates and balances the immune system and the energies of the body. Receiving a Reiki treatment is a pure, peaceful experience in which the recipient feels as though they are wrapped in Unconditional Love.
