Chakra Sound Spa

Sunday, December 5
4 – 6 PM
$45/$40 early registration by November 28
December 5 Chakra Sound Spa features Joan Forest Mage & Natalja Aicardi

Receive an individual intuitive reading through Sound Healing at our Chakra Sound Spa. It’s like a sound vibration massage for your chakras, combined with an intuitive reading you would receive from a psychic! In this small group event with 4 – 5 participants, two members of Life Force Arts Ensemble will create individual healing for each participant by singing to that person’s chakras, and then sharing the intuitive information and advice they received for that participant. Each participant’s reading takes about 20 minutes.

This very powerful in-depth healing and reading allows you and the practitioners to process together what the three of you experienced energetically. All members of the group agree to honor the healing process in a spirit of mutual support for their own and each others healing, and to hold sacred space and confidentiality within the group.

This event may be attended either via zoom, or in person at Life Force Arts Center, 1609 W. Belmont, Chicago. Please contact Joan at 773-327-7224 or joan@lifeforcearts.org to let us know if you will be attending by zoom or in person.

The Healing Arts Intensive with Life Force Arts Ensemble was truly life changing. Through the various exercises and modules, I could feel myself starting to let go of past traumas, and before I knew it, I was beginning to feel like my actual myself again. By the end of the Intensive, I honestly felt lighter, and was left with this unexplainable sense of peace I haven’t felt in years since I was a young girl.

Joan is the leading expert in her craft, and I was very impressed by how well thought out and organized the class was run, as well as how personalized she made all the modules to adhere to each student’s Individual healing journey. If you are a person wishing to better yourself and rewrite those stories you are constantly replaying in your head that are in reality holding you back from attaining your goals, and living your best life, then I can say with full confidence LFAE’s Healing Arts Intensive course is for you.

We are living in the space between. The space between what was and what has not yet arrived. Fear comes easily when we try to ground and make mental sense out of the shifting currents that surround us...that Earth and physical reality no longer exists. Therefore we cannot use old ways of grounding our body. It's scary but true.

However, our body does know how to ground, even while we exist in the space between realities, and our job now is to encourage our minds and our need to 'do something' to come to rest. We are now listening to the promptings of our body. Allowing each day to unfold in its own manner, according to its own rhythm, is all that we can do.

In honoring our journey through this luminal space, I am hoping to amplify and clarify what we are moving towards by offering several ways to connect. First, the meditation app Insight Timer is featuring my meditation 'Bringing Wholeness to Your Body" as their staff pick today. And I will be offering a Healing Meditation Concert on the Summer Solstice, Saturday, June 20 via livestream on the Healing Chants page. More info on both events below.

May contentment find you easily in these days between the old and new worlds http://www.healingchants.com/newsletter2020_05.html

Here is a wonderful article about how to connect with your body and feel your feelings. "I think the virus is a real thing, and also our fear will be used by ourselves and others to manipulate us. We need to clear a path to inspiration by feeling through our feelings and getting back to zero as often as possible. This will help us in the big picture by seeing what’s happening and responding with grace, and in the micro by keeping our immune systems in full relaxed readiness and not tangled up, tripping over itself, fighting ghosts and in panic-mode.

Do the internal work and the external work will follow." This is how we save ourselves.https://medium.com//how-to-actually-effectively-cope-with-your-covid-19-anxiety-7b186f73778c
