Summer Slowdown Reiki Sound Bath

You’ve taken the vacations, grilled the burgers and hot dogs, lit the fireworks, played in the pools, and spent the late nights by the bonfires…but now it’s time for summer to slow down.
You’re invited to ease into the fall season during a special hybrid healing experience designed to relax and reset your nervous system and support your body's natural healing abilities by combining the healing sounds, vibrations, and frequencies of a sound bath with Reiki energy healing.
During this sound immersion, Matty Makowski, a certified Sound Healing Practitioner, Reiki Master, and owner of Matty Sunshine Sound Healing, infuses Reiki energy into his 8 crystal singing bowls, a Heng gong named “Sunny”, Tingsha cymbals, and other instruments that produce sounds, frequencies, and vibrations that invite you into a deep state of relaxation. At the same time, Jessie Lynn - a 3rd Degree Usui and Holy Fire Reiki Master/Teacher, Licensed Medical/Manual Massage Therapist, Certified Holistic Health Practitioner with specialities in Herbalism and AcuMyo Therapies, and owner of Horizon Holistics - immerses the entire group with Reiki energy, and briefly on each individual participant.
WHAT IS REIKI? Reiki is a Japanese "laying of hands" healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing across mind, body, and spirit by helping your natural healing abilities work more effectively. This practice is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy (called by many names in various belief systems such as Ch’i, Ki, Prana, Mana, or Ruach) flows through everyone and everything, giving us life, and that Reiki practitioners can utilize certain hand positions to channel this energy. Low, blocked, or unbalanced energy can manifest in various ways, including, but not limited to, illnesses, bodily aches and pains, and increased, heightened, and/or unbalanced emotions. If our life force energy is flowing and balanced, however, we are more capable of living a joyful, abundant, authentic, and aligned life.
WHAT IS A SOUND BATH? This flow and balance can be accomplished through both Reiki and the ancient practice of sound healing, which is based on the principle that everything in the Universe is comprised of energy (the same energy channeled via Reiki), frequencies, and vibrations, and that specific sounds, vibrations, and frequencies can be used to harmonize this energy inside each of us. Under the sound healing modality, a sound bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience that can help balance the mind, body, and soul, similar to Reiki. During a sound bath, various instruments produce specific sounds, frequencies, and vibrations that can shift your brainwaves into a deeply relaxed state. In this state, your natural healing abilities can work more effectively to bring your mind, body, and spirit back into vibrational alignment.
