SOUND HEALING: DECOMPRESS & RESET

Thursday July 10th 6pm-7:15pm Jiva Yoga Center- Hilton Head, SC

Investment: $45

Join Jessica on this journey as she takes you on Sound Healing Decompress & Reset which will guide you to a place of inner peace.  The sound vibrations will relax both your nervous system and brain waves, enabling your body to go into a self-healing mode and enter back into harmonious equilibrium.

The ancient art creation of sound healing spans cross-cultures & traditions throughout time.  It is a powerful therapy combining sounds, frequencies, and vibrations of various instruments to tap into and improve our multidimensional well being, guiding us into a deeper state of meditation.  During this meditation, through sound, the vibrations have the capacity to change you at a cellular level by healing the accumulation of stress you’ve been storing in your body, returning you back into balance.  It is through this experience, in which our luminous energy field (body, mind, soul spirit) can be gently awakened and be lovingly restored, reset, and activated.

This journey is extremely relaxing when you allow your body to soften into the harmonic sounds, giving you therapeutic healing & respite from our high-stress, anxiety-ladened environments.

Please come Reset & Activate your luminous vessels and realign yourself back into peace and harmony.

SUMMER SOLSTICE: SOMATIC MOVEMENT & BREATH with SACRED CACAO

Saturday: June 21st 3pm - 5pm

Sacred Exchange: $55

Join me for for a Somatic Summer Solstice Experience!  The Summer Solstice symbolizes the peak of vitality, light, and abundance.  It is a Celebration of Light!  We will honor the light with an exploratory journey through Somatic Breathwork & Movement paired with Sacred Cacao.

First we will awaken our senses and open our hearts through a delicious dose of ceremonial cacao as we set our Solstice intentions for our journey.  You will then be guided into a transformational journey of conscious connected breathwork, exploring your inner awareness and learning how to harness the potency of your breath.  Breathwork is a transformational practice which gives you control over your state of mind and your body’s chemistry and helps you to release trapped & stagnant energy.  The combination of ceremonial cacao and breathwork will enable you to access and open your heart to receiving even more love and support.  Followed by the breath we will add in an additional energizing dose of cacao (if you so choose) and guided intentional fluid somatic movements.  These exploratory movements will help you to shake off any residual and stagnant energy, from the breath sequence, tapping into the deep layers of your soma as you move through feeling not thinking, eventually leading you into your own unique dance & expression.  Somatic movement has the capacities to take you into the great depths of innate wisdom and intelligence that you already hold within, while also grounding you back into your true authentic self.

This Solstice Celebration will be an ecstatic energetic offering, creating space for you to release, transform and alchemize as you open your heart and honor the light within.

  • What is Ceremonial Cacao?  It is 100% pure grade cacao. Planted, farmed & harvested with intention. Cacao originates in the Amazon and in indigenous societies of Mexico, Central & South America. These cultures have used cacao as a food, a medicine, and a currency for hundreds, if not thousands of years.  Cacao was highly valued to these ancient cultures and in fact Theobroma (the genius of Cacao) translates as ‘Food of the Gods.’ When ingested, it helps to trigger your ‘feel good’ hormones & endorphins, including dopamine, theobromine & anandamide. Cacao is known to increase blood flow to the brain up to 30-40%, supports higher cognitive functions and accentuates a loving and open heart presence.  In addition, ceremonial cacao supports us to access our emotional and energy body, connecting us deeper with our hearts and bringing out feelings of deep love & gratitude. 

FOUR DIRECTIONS CEREMONIAL FLOW

A Special 4 Class Series at JIVA YOGA CENTER: Sundays 9am - 10:30am June 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th

We’re calling in the Four Directions for this special Ceremonial 4 Yoga Class Series

East: is associated with the rising sun, new beginnings and inspiration. Here we’ll be channeling the essence of the condor & eagle- representing vision, clarity, and foresight.

South: is linked to the warmth, strength and growth. Here we’ll be channeling the serpent energy- representing change, shedding the past, and releasing attachments.

West: Represents the setting sun, healing and reflection. Here we’ll channel the jaguar which represents the mind and emotional perception- the realm of thoughts & ideas. Embracing the dance with the shadow, the art of stealth, and personal power.

North: Symbolizes wisdom & resilience. Here we’ll unite with the hummingbird energy which represents courage for the epic journey ahead, renewal, and joy.

This will be a rich ceremonial yoga class experience full of ritual and prayer as we connect deeply to the resonate heart beat of Mother Nature.  Jessica will guide you through a sequence that channels the spirit essences of each direction and the spirit animals in which they align. Each of the four class will have a unique playlist curated especially for a deeply somatic experience and will incorporate cleansing, purification & grounding rituals as we re-align our bodies and re-connect to our authentic True North.
