Equinox Spirit Body Reset: an Acupuncture Sound Bath infused with Reiki
Join Gabby and Dr. Britlynn Ward in welcoming the new season with this 90-minute workshop.
Immerse yourself in a truly healing experience in this powerful workshop that combines the ancient practices of acupuncture, sound healing, and Reiki. This unique fusion will guide you into a state of deep relaxation, balance, and renewal.
The session begins with a yin yoga flow to calm the nervous system and followed with acupuncture to stimulate key points on the body, helping to release energetic blockages, enhance circulation, and promote healing. As the acupuncture needles work to restore harmony, you’ll be bathed in the therapeutic sounds of crystal singing bowls, gongs, and other healing instruments, creating a vibrational environment that encourages profound relaxation and energy flow.
To further amplify the healing process, Reiki energy will be infused throughout the session, promoting deep relaxation, emotional release, and spiritual healing. The combination of these modalities helps to restore balance, clear mental and physical tension, and recharge your energy.
This workshop is ideal for anyone seeking stress relief, emotional healing, or a deeper sense of well-being. No prior experience is needed—simply come with an open heart and mind, ready to receive the healing benefits of these powerful practices.
