Transforming Emotional Vibration Through Awareness and Breath with Gabrielle Gerard-Jenks

Uplift your consciousness through the Light meditation

Saturday, July 7
11:30am-2:30pm
$60.00

Due to the nature of this workshop, it will be kept small so early registration is suggested.

Everything in our life is vibration. Everything we think, feel and do is vibration. Every desire has a vibratory pulse. Everything we express, the thoughts we don't express, the emotions that they create and we hold are vibrations. As it is said, thoughts are things. We will explore how to work with emotional energy consciously. We will consider What do you want to manifest in your life, knowing that what vibration you are holding consciously or unconsciously is being sent out and you will experience the impact of. What energy you send out you WILL receive back and experience the impact of.

All thoughts have an impact on the cellular body. We want to expand light within the body mind to bring healing all the way down to cellular level.
We will explore Breathwork to work with emotional energy and the law of vibration. And then transition into meditation. The space between the breaths. The space between the thoughts to expand into the meditative state to harness and expand the pure energy that is available and channel it into intentionality.
