With this newfound acknowledgement and understanding of one other we began with the key breathwork of Kundalini practice. We practiced the Breath of fire, breathing through our chakras, and breathing through our tensions.
Combining this with alternating physical movements, we stretched and absorbed the breath through communal chant and rhythm.
For the second half of the class we transitioned to the sound healing bath. Now this was a deeply relaxing segment as we laid on our mats as the Yogi Teachers charmed and elevated the class with their use of vibrational instruments.
The gong, played by Metsa Noma was a very significant piece with its deep vibrations melodically massaging us both physically and spiritually. Never was there a long enough lull in the gong before the next round of melodic vibrations carried us to a dream state of meditation and relief. She was unwavering in her ability to procure a consistent and enriching sound with the instrument.
At the same time, Ronin Mane came around to each of the students with the glass singing bowl, carefully pulling every last bit of tension away with the steady sound and vibration. He then brought out the Didgeridoo, a remarkable instrument as it is very difficult to master and sustain a consistent sound from. Ronin Mane brought the sound of the didgeridoo across each student with an ease and comfortability that brought us into a deeper meditation, a deeper relief from our tensions.
By the end of the session, the other students and myself were in a state of calm and being. The feeling of relief from everyday worries and the pressures of what we were experiencing felt much more manageable as we learned to breathe in the possibilities and breathe out the pressures.
