[15:16] My Journey 

Eight Healing Exercises 

[18:45] #1 Resonating Vibration 

Great practice for excess throat chakra energy
Combining organic movement + sound

[20:12] #2 Clearing the Field 

Pay attention to the outer vibrations that we experience daily: 

  • Levels of sound

  • Media pollution

  • Daily rhythms (eating/sleeping/sexuality/rest)

[22:54] #3 Deep & Active Listening 

Deep Listening: Taking time to be quiet and listen to our inner thoughts and metal chatter. Creating a relationship with our mind and body to find the balance that we need 

Active Listening: Allowing another person to speak and express themselves while we turn our focus and energy to this person. Holding space for them to speak by quieting ourselves so they can feel heard

Is it Necessary?
Is it Kind?
