WHAT IS THE HEALING SPACE? The Healing Space is a safe space for those looking to come together and share a moment of stillness and intent, to unite and attract healing energies for balance and wellness.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT? You may expect to meet individuals who are sharing a space for healing and stillness. Gil, who will lead the group, will provide reiki and guide all participants through a mindful meditation of the body and its chakras. While in session you may also expect to receive reiki while lying in a restorative yoga asana.
WHAT TIME DOES THE EVENT START? The Healing Space event starts promptly at 7:00PM. The doors will open at 6:45PM and all participants are welcome to arrive 10minutes prior to the start of the event.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING AND WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? You only need to bring your ready and willing self. We will provide the props and mats for the restorative yoga aspect of the event. All participants are encouraged to come comfortable and ready to rest.
WHAT IS RESTORATIVE YOGA? Restorative yoga is a passive form of yoga wherein the participant is guided into a reclined or seated asana and supported by props such as bolsters, blocks, blankets, eye pillows, weighted pillows (ie bean or sandbag). The practice of restorative yoga allows the body to be in the given asana in a supported position, as well as, to allow the body to be in the given asana for an extended amount of time. This will allow the body to take full benefit of the yoga asana. For this particular event, participants will be guided into 7 restorative asanas that complement the 7 major chakras of the body. Each restorative asana will be held for about 7 minutes.
WHAT IS REIKI? Reiki is an ancient healing modality that finds its origins in Eastern Medicine. Through reiki, the Qi or Universal Life Energy that is old, stagnant or dull is cleared or removed from the body and new, vibrant energy is brought in. Reiki is administered through attuned practitioners. Gil Casares is a third-degree partitioner and will provide reiki during the session. Reiki can be administered in several ways, most notably, through touch or placement of hands to the body's chakra point or by bringing the hands near or above the chakra point of any particular chakra center of the body. Reiki is not religious but can be a spiritual experience for some. Reiki works with the body's energy and energetic field. Reiki is Universal Life Energy, love energy, creative energy, God energy. Reiki can do no harm.
WHAT ARE CHAKRAS? Chakra are energy points, energy centers or energy wheels on the body. Each major chakra, of which the human body has 7, align with various glands, organs and systems of the body. It is said that when the chakra is balanced, cleared and functioning with vibrant Universal Life Energy or Qi(Chi), the physical aspect of the human body can operate with ease and optimal ability. Each chakra along with the physical aspect of the body represents an emotional and mental quality as well.
