Description
“We swim in mystery every day, yet we do not realize it.” – Astara Raven, How The Stars Tell Time
Astara and Orion of Illuminating Hearts bring you an incredible evening of resonance and meditation to the shared space of Trinity PT and Omaha Power Yoga.
With the gong as a diving board, leap with us inside the mystery. Astara writes in How the Stars Tell Time, "Although our human experience is relative to the sun we depend on, the rest of the multiverse is not. In looking at the world from the perspective of stars, we embrace a robust reality that allows more dimensions of knowing. Take a moment to imagine a photon’s point of view, or our star’s vantage point, or the perspective of life elsewhere on other planets.” The multi-frequency magic of the gongs helps dissolve the noise in and around you, revealing your mystery.
We lead the group through a gong immersion experience to support you while you meditate. Orion and Astara encompass you in layers of organic resonant medicine. Appropriate for all levels of meditation knowledge. Bring a friend!
Pre-registration encouraged. Check in time 6:15pm. Event start time 6:30pm.
Please arrive early so we can start on time!

Here are just a few benefits of Gong Meditation:
🧘🏽Mindfulness: Experience the support the gong provides to drop more deeply into your meditation practice, cultivating mindfulness. Discover a deeper way of listening to your own body and the world around you.
🧘🏽Tune Up: The gong tunes you up with the earth, your natural rhythms, and those around you. The protective aspects of the personality or mind (ego) quiet as you reconnect to the harmonic resonance all around you.
🧘🏽Coherence: The gong helps you reconnect your three minds, your gut, your heart and your head. This coherence allows the head-brain to connect better to your heart intelligence and wisdom.
🧘🏽Bio-intelligence: The overtones and universal resonance of the gong builds vagal nerve tone, engages the parasympathetic nervous system for wholing your body and soul, and helps increase Heart Rate Variability for longevity and vitality.
🧘🏽Brain Superpowers: Access gamma brain waves which in turn accesses all brain wave states and increases well-being, better perception of reality, incredible focus, better self-control and richer sensory experience.
🧘🏽Connection: Mindfulness begins within you and transcendence unfolds in community.
🧘🏽And much more!
