First select a work of art to focus on prior to the meditation, lay down and open your mind and heart to the sound and vibration, and once finished, go back to that same work of art and see if you notice anything new with your mind cleared of distractions.
Let this amazing sound bath and deeply relaxing mindfulness meditation in an artful setting melt away your stress and leave you calmer, recharged, and your mind clear and vibrant.
Please bring your own mat.
