We live in an environment surrounded by sound. It isn’t surprising that sound can influence our mood. For a moment, escape from outside stimuli, relax, and recharge as this form of meditation melts tension away with sound waves.  Experience the melodies and tones of world instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, flutes, rattles and drums. The consistent vibration of sound healing instruments creates a deeply meditative experience. Crystal bowls emit a relaxing frequency that puts the body and mind at ease. Paulyn Cayapan Nguyen, healer and founder of Starseed Heritage, will guide this meditation with harmonic crystal bowls. Adults and Teens welcome. Wear comfortable clothing and bring your own yoga mat. No registration required. (*Pitches emitted from the bowls could be overstimulating.)
