Tuesday, October 7th
8 - 9:30pm
A Full Moon in Aries Cacao Ceremony with a Reiki-infused Soundbath is a holistic event designed to harmonize mind, body, and spirit, leveraging the astrological energy of Aries and the potent properties of cacao, Reiki, and sound.
⭐️ FULL MOON ENERGY
This Full Moon in Aries brings a powerful surge of assertive, independent, and often impulsive energy. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, a fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action, passion, and conflict. When the Moon is full in Aries, it illuminates themes related to:
Action and Initiative: The Aries energy fuels a desire for new beginnings and decisive action. It can be a powerful time to initiate projects, make bold moves, or confront challenges head-on.
Passion and Drive: Emotions can run high, often accompanied by a strong sense of purpose and a drive to pursue what ignites one's spirit.
Independence and Courage: There's a strong emphasis on self-reliance and the courage to break free from limitations or situations that no longer serve personal growth.
Impulsiveness and Conflict: On the shadow side, the intense Aries energy can lead to impulsiveness, impatience, and a tendency towards arguments or confrontation if not channeled constructively. It's important to be mindful of reactive behaviors.
Cacao Ceremony
A sacred Cacao Ceremony typically involves:
Intention Setting: Participants are guided to set intentions, often related to balance, love, or emotional release, aligning with the Libra energy.
Heart-Opening Elixir: Ceremonial grade cacao, known for its heart-opening and mood-enhancing properties due to compounds like anandamide and phenylethylamine, is consumed in a mindful way. This helps to connect individuals to their emotional center and facilitates deeper introspection.
Connection and Presence: The ceremony encourages a sense of community and presence, allowing participants to connect with themselves and each other in a gentle, supportive space.
Reiki-Infused Soundbath
Following or integrated with the cacao ceremony, a Reiki-infused soundbath provides a deeply restorative experience:
Sound Healing: Participants recline comfortably as various instruments, such as crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, gongs, chimes, and other therapeutic percussive instruments, are played. The vibrations from these instruments are believed to entrain brainwaves into meditative states (alpha and theta), promoting deep relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional release.
Reiki Energy Healing: During the soundbath, a Reiki practitioner (or practitioners) channels universal life force energy. This energy is directed to individual participants (often through gentle touch or hovering hands, or even distantly) to promote healing, balance chakras, and facilitate the release of energetic blockages. The combination of sound and Reiki amplifies the therapeutic effects, creating a powerful synergy for energetic alignment and well-being.
