Upgrade your energy, with your eyes closed.
(blankets and eye pillows provided)
Just like when a friend has set the table for a delicious dinner party, when you walk in to Marou Home on a Sunday evening at 5pm, you know you're in for a good time.
Dinner party ‘bush style’ at our weekend retreats, Tallong, the Southern Highlands.
My nervous systems starts to soften as soon as I walk in the side door. Mats are laid out, blankets and eye pillows at the ready, instruments and guides welcoming you in with a warm smile … (front entrance is closed off to allow more room).
Choosing my spot in the room, I lay down and close my eyes ahhh I can feel the tension from the long drive home from the mountains and scramble to get the clothes washed and something for dinner, start to slip away as my breathing slows down.
Lily has started her beautiful music on the keyboard, long soothing sounds inviting our attention to drift inwards…. Hannah is settling everyone in and then tells us, that we are going to begin standing…
We are invited to come to our feet and bring our awareness to our feet in contact with the earth. I soon realise the outside world has slipped away and eyes closed, I am only aware of the sound of Hannah’s voice guiding us inwards and the supporting sound from Lily.
The magic of sound on the nervous system.
Time seems to disappear and I am no longer worried about the meals for the week ahead or anything else for that matter 😆.
Eventually we are invited to lie down and using blanket and bolsters, eye pillows and anything else you might want, move into a comfortable resting place. My body is so ready to lie down at this point, and simply allow the music and healing sounds wash over and around us.
The combination of Hannah’s gentle guidance and Lily’s angelic voice has me slipping into a deeply restful state, as the sounds ad gentle movement start to relax the energetic and emotional body.
Differing from regular deep relaxation, live music and sound healing like this, has a soothing effect on multiple layers of our being, known as the Koshas, taking us closer to the higher self.
Giving us that feeling of being upgraded.
ahhh what a nervous system reset.
Like all good things, the somatic sound class has to come to an end, but as we’re invited to roll onto one side and eventually sit, I realise I feel rested, ready for the week ahead. Everything is as it should be… a far cry from when I walked in the door.
We can’t ‘heal faster’ but we can certainly move more towards our healing in community.
Who’s ready for an upgrade? 🙋🏻♀️
