Full Moon Gong Meditation
The full moon is an excellent time to release what is no longer serving you. The gong meditation enhances the releasing process. Members may bring a yoga mat and other items (i.e. pillow, blanket, eye cover, bottle of water) for their comfort. Many enjoy bringing a journal to jot down guidance and messages received during the meditation. You will be “bathed” in sound during this session. The gong sounds will help detoxify the body. (Be sure to drink plenty of pure water following the session.) The sounds of the gong will remind you of your inner ability to be in bliss, as well as take you into a state of deep relaxation and peacefulness. At the time of the full moon, the energy supports us in releasing anything that no longer serves us, perhaps a behavior, a belief, thought pattern, whatever you are ready to let go of, to make room for the new that you wish to create. At this group meditation, we will combine our intentions with the frequencies of multiple gongs, crystal singing bowls and other instruments to bring about the healing process within each of us. As we do this healing work on ourselves, we help to heal our world. As we heal our world, we heal ourselves. We will work with our breath and the vibrations of unconditional love and gratitude 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Contact Deb Jennings for more information. 515-371-0725 or soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com.

Please wear your most comfortable clothes and bring your own pillow(s) and blankets.

Enhances your flexibility.
Deep relaxation.
Boosts the immune system.

As you ease into each restorative yoga pose, the sounds will support you, inviting deep connections with your breath, body, mind and spirit.

Spring Equinox Sound Meditation
In collaboration with Sounds for the Soul by Deb Jennings, Sacred Health is hosting an opportunity for meditation accompanied by the sounds of gongs, alchemy bowls, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, Native American flutes and percussion instruments. We invite you into this sacred space to welcome in Spring on Spring Equinox. The term equinox comes from the Latin word “equinoxium,” meaning “equality between day and night.” And vernal also comes from Latin and means spring. The promise of greener, warmer, more bountiful times is becoming apparent as buds and blossoms emerge from the trees and shrubs, bees return to begin the pollination cycle, and fields of grass wake up from their winter slumber. This is a time of innocence and child-like wonder as the end of Winter finally becomes a reality and being outdoors is pleasant again. No previous meditation experience required. Due to our cozy space, we encourage heavily the use of seated meditation and that there is flexibility in how you’ll be situated. Blankets, bolsters, cushions and chairs will all be readily available. The space for mats will be limited. We encourage you to leave this event for those 12+ years old.
$20/person.
Tickets available at www.soundsforthesouldj.com/tickets/
Held at Sacred Health, 4123 University Ave., Des Moines, IA

New Moon Gong Meditation
At the new moon, it is the perfect time to create what you want to manifest in your life. We set intentions on how we want things to look in our lives. The new moon gong meditation assists us to stay connected with our mind, body and spirit, utilizing the moon energy as a healing experience. The sound of the gong “re-tunes” us on many levels, bringing us into harmony and deep levels of inner peace. These sounds work on a cellular level as well as an emotional level. Participants may bring a yoga mat and other items for their comfort (i.e. blanket, pillow, eye cover, bottled water, journal). You will be “bathed” in sound during this session. The gong sounds will help detoxify the body. (Be sure to drink plenty of pure water following the session.) The sounds of the gong will remind you of your inner ability to be in bliss, as well as take you into a state of deep relaxation and peacefulness. 6:30 p.m. Contact Deb Jennings for more information. 515-371-0725 or soundsforthesouldj@gmail.com.
