Khalwat= solitude,
retreat
Saturday is our one
day in house retreat. Staring at 900AM, we will go over the schedule,
then move into warm-ups and breath work. Our first session will be on
Gems and the Chakra:
Stones
and crystals, also known as gemstones, have been used for healing
purposes for thousands of years. Their vibrational properties vary
widely, and each plays a unique role in helping to clear and balance
the human energy field. The energy of a specific crystal
and your energetic needs, be they physical, emotional, mental or
spiritual, are important aspects to consider
when choosing gemstones for healing.
