Following my morning visions after meditation on a wonderful Sunday,
I sealed my day going to a Sound Bath,
I must say it felt a little weird at the beginning of the session
as if the Sound Bath had been offered in Groupon and,
all the tourists visiting LA for the weekend had decided to jump into it
after the tour in Hollywood, taking one of the cool, hippie,
New Age options of many that Los Angeles has to offer ;-)
Today, when I got to the Sound Bath, with a completely open mind and heart,
with the idea of letting go of my own limits to creativity and lack of time
I found my spot in between two Russian couples on my left,
and a french couple on my right.
When everyone in the circle started introducing themselves
I began feeling a little bit more connected and grounded,
the intentions set by each one of the participants resonate as if were mine,
the one what pops up in my head was : let go of self-imposed limits.
The amazing and therapeutic part of Sound Baths is that you actually
can not control where the vibration of the crystal bowls and the gongs are gonna take you,
what part of your subconscious is gonna be activated or
how the release of tension is gonna be express: crying, laughing, yelling, humming?
You set an intention for your session but what paths are gonna be followed,
and explored its a mystery and the beauty of uncertainty.
As we start laying down with our palms up, Guy Douglas,gongguy,
reminds us that, he is just a facilitator, not a healer or shaman, it is us,
and our inner guru who is gonna do the work.
Twenty minutes of breathwork before letting our selves go with the sounds,
a little bit of work to clean channels, the head and the hands start tickling ...
twenty minutes is a long time to release...
the gong guy starts leading the deep meditation,
asking us to step into the fear we are gonna feel, to express what we feel,
to see ourselves at the age of six ...the age of ten...
to forgive and love what we see...
suddenly I really start visualizing myself at that age,
who I was and what I thought life was about, my dreams, my potentials...
more intense breathing ... more energy created in the room ...
He asked us to stop the breath control and let us immerse in the sounds and vibrations...
time stops .. feels like five minutes but actually is an hour,
I see my self in my mom's womb,
I see an ultrasound of my self and can hear my heart beating,
and she thought how beautiful is gonna be having this baby,
how much love she feels being pregnant,
how much love she is gonna give me and how she expects this moment to be full of love ...
at this point, I break on tears ... that's my therapy...
I wasn't looking for this and this is what I found as an answer to my intention to
let go limits to my self: confidence, acceptance, love.
Another day of growth and self-healing,
Thanks, Guy Douglas for facilitating it.
Namaste.
