 Experience sound healing with Little Star Yoga and Healing. You can lay on the floor (bring a yoga mat, blanket or cushion) or rest in a chair as you listen to  sounds and vibrations that have healing qualities.  What is sound healing? Throughout history, sound healings have been applied as a traditional form of treatment. As a wellness modality, it blends various sounds of music, voice and instruments that promote multi-dimensional well-being while being highly effective at inducing a relaxation response, which counters many symptoms caused by chronic stress. It is highly effective in releasing stored-up energy and stagnant emotions, lowering stress levels, and entering deeper relaxed states in our physical bodies and minds. Registration is required, as space is limited. Open to adults only. A waiver will be distributed prior to the event.  This event is made possible by the Friends of the Winchester Public Library. https://winpublib.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/sound-healing-2/
