Yoga, Meditation, & Group Experiences

Consistency is key with meditation and mindfulness. With consistent practice, it promotes feelings of joy, peace, and gratitude for each living moment. It reduces stress and fosters inner well-being. We give classes, individual sessions, and workshops. including:

• Yoga classes: Chair, gentle, moderate and power Vinyasa flow, Yoga combined with Qigong-inspired movements. Private sessions by appointment.
• Sound healing sessions aligning body, mind and soul through sound resonance, both in group and individual settings
• Sound immersion experiences using crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, live voice and various other instruments to promote release, inner healing and mind-body-soul connection.
• Presentations/individual sessions on self-empowerment techniques to increase mindfulness and reduce stress.
• Meditation instruction, utilizing breathwork, embodiment techniques, visualization and sound.
• Outdoor classes/workshops to harness wellbeing through connection to nature, including mindful walking and nature immersion.
• Mindful eating practices to nurture connection to the body and aid in healing the relationship with food.
• Themed workshops, sacred ceremonies (cacao, fire release, water, and others) and retreats that invite transformation through ritual and intention. These experiences invite emotional release, self-empowerment, and alignment – creating space to step more fully into true authenticity and potential.

If you’re interested in working with me to set up a session/class/event/demonstration for yourself, group, business or organization, contact me at reikiequilibriumjen@gmail.com.

What is a Sound Bath Experience?

A sound bath is a full-body meditative experience where you’re immersed in deep sound vibrations, resonating at specific tones and frequencies. It’s meant to relax, balance and facilitate healing through a shift in the brain wave state. The sounds introduced during a sound bath are an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli and to gain perspective on what’s going on within you. The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery.

Used in sound healing work, singing bowls are believed to calm the mind as well as reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, improve breathing and circulation, help alleviate aches and pains, strengthen the immune system, and improve mood.

Why Meditate?

Our thoughts greatly influence our mental health. Meditation is the habitual process of training our minds to focus on the present moment: To stop the spinning, mental time-travel, and narratives of ruminating and catastrophizing that we replay over and over in our minds. Through meditation we can become “watchers” of our own minds, becoming aware of our negative thought patterns and redirecting them. By increasing awareness of ourselves and our surroundings, meditation can foster a positive mood and outlook, self-discipline, and healthy sleep patterns. Proven studies reveal reduced stress levels and anxiety. It can even result in increased pain tolerance.

You won’t have epiphanies every time you meditate. Sometimes it’s just calming down. Sometimes it’s grounding yourself from turbulent emotions. But meditation is not a means to an end, it’s just awareness–with no expectation. You just keep showing up, and you trust. Often you will see results “off the pillow” through improved coping skills. When things get stressful, do you respond, or react?

Meditation and Reiki Sessions

Meditation and Reiki naturally flow hand-in-hand. Guided meditation during your Reiki session can deepen your experience and level of relaxation. It may help aid you in healing a specific negative mental pattern or empowering a goal you have through a deeper connection to self.  Visit my Reiki page for details about Reiki and Meditation sessions.

Thanks for these weeks of incredible yoga. I have had many yoga teachers, and you rank at the top! I love the gentle beginning, and the water music at the end followed by the quiet. A good spiritual and physical workout.
