RESTFUL YOGA AND SOUND THERAPY 75 MINS 


Experience 75 minutes of DEEP REST and expanded states of consciousness with the use of noise cancelling headphones and Monroe Sound Science Technology.  This technology employs brainwave entrainment to facilitate the attainment of altered states of awareness. We will be utilizing Monroe's numbered "focus levels" , offering a more dynamic approach to understanding consciousness along with a few accessible restorative yoga postures, all seated or lying down.  The model suggests that instead of a rigid separation from the physical body, consciousness can phase in and out of various states, much like tuning a radio dial to different frequencies.  This perspective allows for a broader range of experiences, from daydreaming,  and deep meditation to more profound mystical states. 


We will be using Focus levels 10, 12, 15, 18 and 21 during our 7 week series.


January 5

Week 1 Focus level 10 known as "mind awake, body asleep".  The physical body is deeply relaxed while the mind remains conscious and awake. 


January 19 and Feburary 2

Week 2 and 3  Focus level 12  A state of expanded awareness while the body remains deeply relaxed and asleep 


February 16 and March 2

Week 4  and 5 Focus level 15 A state of No-time.   Consciousness is now far removed from the physical body signals. Linear time is no longer relevant to the experience 


March 16

Week 6 Focus level 18  Individuals can cultivate a state of unconditional love and acceptance, leading to profound personal growth.


March 30

Week 7 Focus level 21  On the very edge of perception of the time/space continuum . Mind remains fully conscious.
