Resonant Harmony Attunements The Resonant Harmony Attunements are designed for two purposes: 1. To Create Community Where We are All Connected – When you share sound together, everyone's whole system shares the same vibration or frequency -- brainwaves, heart rates, and electromagnetic fields align, and we all become like family. In fact, sharing sound together is a portal to remembering the ultimate state of where we are all One -- particularly when the sound ends and we enter that divine pla …

We (Mireya and Rosy) are artists and creative arts therapists living in the Bay Area. What began as a longing to create a freeing arts practice for ourselves became a deep desire to provide an authentically enlivening experience for others. For over a year, we explored the questions, "What kind of conditions would just naturally, organically nurture the creative process in people? And, what kind of structure and container could safely hold and guide a diversity of experiences?" Once we found ans …

About Mindfulness Exercises: The practice of self regulation, of the autonomic nervous system We teach integrated mind-body mental exercises to trigger a natural parasympathetic response in the autonomic nervous system. This response releases powerful neurochemicals (biochemicals) that regulate the immune system. Regulation of the immune system transforms the human body at the cellular level. This natural transformation affects our view, how we feel, and ultimately our perception of reality, …

Our meet-up group’s hope is to create a safe space for women to practice yoga with other women in the most limitless ways possible. Clothes can be limiting, in a physical, emotional and spiritual sense: Physically, the clothes limit the way we move.  Clothes are limiting. That is their basic purpose-–to limit your body’s experience of the elements, and to limit other people’s ability to see your body. Practicing yoga nude liberates your body, and doing it with other women heightens your sense of …

The way to find peace and clarity is to know the original mind, the universe mind, by consciously taking the time to subtract the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind. N …

Martin Buber said, "All journeys ha …

Still, we only focus on our waking lives and disregard our sleep adventures as unimportant, somewhat less real and imaginary. Well, everything changes if you can experience your dreams from the perspective of a conscious observer. Many people cannot even imagine what it feels like to be aware in your dreams but many others have experienced lucid dreams at some point in their lives, not knowing they could reproduce them. L …

So I'm sitting in this three-day, 13-hour-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the (hermetically sealed) windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our three days of c …
