Yoga & Meditation

Service Description

A Gentle Flow Yoga class followed by meditation to the healing sounds of Gregorian Chanting. Much has been studied about Gregorian Chants since the mid 90s, particularly the health benefits to both the singer and listener. It has been shown in many studies to reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, and to even help the speech fluency of stroke victims. It positively charges the central nervous system and the cortex of the brain in such a way that it actually reduces the number of hours of sleep one properly needs to function at its best. More benefits include a regulated cardiac system, positive brain activity due to the high frequency response of Latin vowels, and greater neuro-communication between the left and right hemisphere. The Solfeggio frequencies make up a 6-tone music scale, which was first used in religious music of the 10th century. Music tuned to the frequency of this scale is known to have healing properties and promote better wellbeing. Evidence of these frequencies existed as far back as early Biblical times. The Solfeggio frequencies are most commonly associated with the Gregorian Chants. The chants are a form of monophonic song of the Roman Catholic faith, dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries. The original 6 Solfeggio frequencies and their said benefits are as follows: 396 Hz – Associated with Liberating Guilt and Fear 417 Hz – Associated with Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change 528 Hz – Associated with Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair) 639 Hz – Associated with Connecting/Relationships 741 Hz – Associated with Expression/Solutions 852 Hz – Associated with Returning to Spiritual Order
