Welcome to Our Journey: Exploring Yoga + Movement, Sound Healing, Energy Healing, Meditation, Breathwork, Mantra, and More
Welcome to mindthebend! I am thrilled to have you here as we embark on a journey together towards greater peace, overall health, balance, and general well-being. Whether you’re new to exploring these sacred modalities, or you’re seeking to deepen your practice, this space is designed to educate and nurture your body, mind, and spirit.
What You Can Expect
In these musings, you’ll find a variety of content focused on holistic practices that support physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. We will explore:
Yoga: For me, yoga is a lifestyle. From yoga philosophy and history to the 8 Limbs of Yoga, we will discuss all aspects of yoga. From basic asanas (poses) to advanced sequences, yoga serves as a gateway to physical vitality, mental clarity, and healing from the inside out (or outside in). Whether you’re brand new to yoga, a seasoned practicioner, or anywhere in between, you will find resources to enhance your personal journey.
Movement: In my experience, movement is integral to overall health, and is a necessary component of a well-rounded yoga practice. It is one of the fastest and most effective ways of moving energy through your system. You’ll learn movement patterns that support your physical body, as well as somatic practices that nurture your nervous system and subtle body.
Sound Healing: The power of sound touches and impacts the human body and energetic system in a powerful, profound way. Here, you’ll learn more about the transformative power of sound through instruments and the most sacred instrument of all—your own voice. We will explore how vibrations help shift your energetic field and impact the physical body, promoting relaxation and deep healing at the cellular level.
Energy Healing: Energy maintenance is essential to overall well-being. Explore the world of energy healing, where practices like Reiki, Biofield Therapy, Pranic Healing, and other beautiful modalities promote healing from within. Discover how to align your energy centers to feel more balanced, grounded, and in harmony with your true essence.
Meditation: Though a deeply personal practice, sometimes we all need a nudge, nod, or someone to guide us through our meditation practice. I love teaching multiple styles of meditation, and hope you enjoy sampling various techniques. Finding those that resonate the most at this point in your journey can help you feel more connected with your relationship to yourself and to others.
Breathwork: Ahhhh, breathwork. Such a transformational experience! Learn how the simple act of conscious breathing can lead to profound shifts in your health and well-being. I will share techniques to help reduce stress, boost [perceived energetic levels, move stuck energy (including emotions), enhance mental clarity, and connect to our higher consciousness.
Mantra: The sacred practice of chanting mantra originated centuries ago. There are variations of chanting mantra in various cultures and belief structures all over the world. It is my honor to share what I know of this sacred practice. Walk beside me as we navigate this vibrational soul journey!
Why I’m Passionate About These Modalities
Holistic healing practices have the power to transform our lives, from the inside, out—or the outside, in. I believe in the importance of connecting deeply to ourselves, the Divine within us, and to others. Fusing these ancient wisdoms and practices with modern understanding can help you move forward in a way that serves you and those you love. My goal is to create a space where you can enter to learn, grow, and find inspiration and loving kindness on your personal wellness journey.
