Rebalance after a long week with a relaxing sound bath meditation. In Live Good’s beautiful new space in downtown Martinez, Dominika Pcion will play soothing singing or sound bowls and chimes, interspersed with gentle meditation guidance from WITHIN Meditation Cofounder Hannah Knapp.
Our bodies recognize sound as a universal language. Not only can we hear sound but we can also experience it physically and emotionally. As a result of this relationship, sound can have a significant impact on our bodies and minds. Combinations of certain frequencies can put us into the parasympathetic state, where relaxation and regeneration take place. In those moments, our body can focus on bringing itself back to equilibrium.
Come see for yourself! In this hour-long event, you'll be taken on a journey of relaxation through both sound and meditation. As you soak in the tones played on bowls and chimes, you'll also be led in guided meditation to consciously relax your body and tune into the present moment. No prior experience with sound baths or meditation is needed, only a willingness to open yourself to the experience.
This is the perfect way to unwind before going into the weekend. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a yoga mat if you have one.
Registration ($15) is through Humanitix.
WITHIN Meditation Cofounder Hannah Knapp will offer guided meditation as part of the event.
Hannah has been meditating since 2012, when she dove in head-first with a 10-day Vipassana retreat. It was during that retreat that she realized she was ready for the adventure of pregnancy and parenting. Coming out of that experience, she knew she needed a community to practice with: there was just nothing like meditating with other people. Her passion for sharing the power of mindfulness has led her to launch (and lead) group meditations wherever she’s worked, and to start WITHIN Meditation.
Through mindfulness, she’s developed a deep resilience, focus, and capacity to love that she draws on every day, both as the mom of two children and as a start-up founder. She’s delighted to be leading meditation sessions in our online studio and in companies throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and across the country, while building an amazing team of teachers at WITHIN.
Sound healer Dominika Pcion will play sound or singing bowls and chimes.
Domi has always been drawn to sound: be it listening to music, playing instruments or birdsong. Sound bowls have been a part of her life for the last 20 years, as an individual meditation practice and community offering. Each session is its own unfolding and creates space for us to open to the present moment.
