A sound bath is an improvised concert played with the intent of releasing stress, and can facilitate energetic shifts in your mind and body to bring you into a more balanced state of being. Participants lay in a comfortable position on the floor (savasana), while Daniella plays the crystal bowls and gongs, accompanied by her vocal toning. You will be bathed in healing vibrations that help entrain your brain into a deeply relaxed state where physical, mental, and spiritual healing can take place.

Observing a flower without memory, prior knowledge, imagination, or evaluation—giving it our complete attention—is a doorway to meditation.

When we look at a flower with judgment—“How beautiful this flower is,” or “This is a red rose,” or “I like other flowers better than this flower”—these thoughts distract us from the bare act of attention, which is meditation in itself. Awareness can only flower when we see things as they are, without evaluation. This is possible only when the mind and body are completely still, unentangled, and sensitive.

This practice applies to all aspects of our lives, including the 6 sense doorways: sound, sight, taste, sensation, smell, and thinking. Our well-being is determined by how we pay attention

Join me on a 4 week meditation series where we will explore the nature of awareness and practice the art of meditation together. We will focus on stilling the mind through awareness of breath and explore the mysterious nature of our bodies and minds.

Meditation allows us to:

• Discover trust and find freedom as we are
• Connect more intimately and intentionally with all of our life
• See the truth of suffering and move beyond it
  
  

Our time together will include talks, silent and guided meditations, mindful movement, Q&A, and reflections.

Metta meditation, also known as loving-kindness meditation, is a Buddhist practice designed to cultivate compassion for ourselves and others by focusing on loving phrases and goodwill. Metta is both a concentration and mindfulness practice, encouraging the practitioner to enter a state of greater love and connection. It can be practiced at any time and in any place—whether seated on a meditation cushion, navigating traffic, or walking through a crowded street. In this four-week workshop, we will deepen our understanding of metta through meditation and yoga poses that open and focus on the heart space.
