Sound-Healing Meditation Class
Madison's Stress-Relieving Singing Bowl & Reiki Series
DESCRIPTION Join us for stress-relieving sound healing & Reiki sessions. Meet like-minded people and join our growing community of compassionate friends! Every class is grounded in mindfulness to promote peace within and around Madison.
OUR PROCESS Once you arrive, you'll be greeted into the space and be shown where to settle in. When our class begins, we get right into it. First you are the guided through a short centering to ground into the space. Shortly thereafter, we begin to play over 15 different instruments that resonate and help balance our 7 main chakras. During the “sound bath,” Reiki Master Krista Pfohl of Luna Frequency will step away from playing and walk around to individuals, offering hands off Reiki (Healing Life Force Energy).
HOW IT WORKS At a cellular level, we are 75% water. As the vibrations of the crystal and Tibetan singing bowls pass over our body (which is why it is also known as a sound bath), our brainwaves go from Beta to Theta, and sometimes, if we go deep enough, to Delta. Our normal waking consciousness corresponds to the Beta state, which is our brain emitting waves between 13-30Hertz. The feeling of relaxation and concentration is linked to the Alpha state, which sends waves between 8-13Hertz. Then we go into Theta state (5-7Hertz), which is associated with Rapid Eye Movement and the release of muscular spasms and energetic blockages. Delta state (0.5-4Hertz) can also be achieved through prolonged playing of the singing bowls, emitting extremely low vibrations associated with deep sleep and other unconscious states. In just 40 minutes, our bodies go through these different brain states leaving you feeling more relaxed, and fully rejuvenated. Common experiences during our sound sessions are seeing vibrant colors, a physical release of aches and pains, emotional releases, connecting with a higher consciousness, feeling “floaty,” communicating with deceased loved ones, and a great sense of peace and relaxation.

We Are 'Yara Sound Collective'
We are a group of total goofballs that find pure joy and alignment in working together to provide sound healing for Dane County. While you'll often find us laughing through the fun, we take our work seriously. We believe in the power of sound, its ability to heal on a cellular level, and the space it creates for spiritual growth. We intuitively play together, blending over 10 different tones of clear quartz crystal in the form of singing bowls, pyramids and a merkabah. The three of us regularly put on wellness events in and around Madison WI in the forms of sound healing meditation classes, 3 hour workshops called Hike, Heal & Hum, pop-up day retreats and overnight retreats. In our longer programs (3 hours or more), we combine forest therapy, hatha yoga, sound healing and Reiki to create space for deep healing and personal growth. You can register for events here on hikeandheal.com below. To schedule individual yoga classes, please contact Niomi, and for Reiki, contact Krista. They rock!
September 2019 Update

Do you know the benefits of sound healing?
Prolonged vibrational healing through sound encourages a deep relaxation response, stimulating the production of theta & delta brainwaves to take you to that often desired but hard to achieve meditative state. It impacts changes in our physiological body, which positively impacts mood. It improves mental clarity and brain functioning. Music Therapy reduces the body's stress hormones, rejuvenates the mind and body, supports immune health, brings our nervous system into balance, reduces pain, integrates left and right brain patterns, strengthens mindfulness practices, builds community, and inspires creativity that improves one's overall well-being! How's that for a list?
PRIVATE GROUPS
Interested in setting up a time for a private group? This is a great way to introduce wellness to business teams, families, friend groups or otherwise. Sound healing meditation is a completely unique experience and beneficial for the body, mind & spirit. $5-15/person with a group minimum of 6 people. Contact us today to inquire.
