healing crystals & sound
Twice a year, Avreya offers a three-hour workshop led by Allison Rietta and Archana Rama. This is an Introduction to Crystals workshop where you will learn about the healing properties of gemstones & crystals, and how they affect the body on a physical and emotional level. We will discuss how crystals can be used to balance each chakra to gain ultimate relaxation, better health and a greater sense of well-being. You will be shown how to pick up on frequency and vibrations of the gemstones and crystals, and learn how to interpret the meaning of them in our day-to-day life. Each participant will receive a booklet on the origins of gemstones and crystals, including flow charts on how to move energy in your body. You will also include your own personalized kit of crystals / gemstones (14 in total). The workshop will end with a Sound Healing practice and Yoga Nidra (lying meditation).
