Presence--Guided Practice to Come Back to Your Senses

  • West Hartford Yoga 23 Brook Street West Hartford, CT USA (map)

Become less pulled by the past and reduce the race to the future as we come back to our senses.
Through our senses we can have direct experiences of being fully present. Our senses help us to feel beyond our ego programming and directly into our true self.
Our bodies and senses are always trying to tell us the truth, but it’s only when we are truly listening that we hear their subtle whispers.
Join Ray Mizia of Vibes with Ray and John Odlum of TruElements for this 2 hour immersive workshop where we will be creating a sacred space for you to explore presence through conscious activation of your senses.
We will be using many different modalities to help you regain your presence and open up to the collective energy and support that is all around us at all times.
The experience will begin with an opening circle where we will all share our intentions together.
We will then move into deep connection with our bodies, thoughts and emotions through body scans and body dialoguing. This will help to learn how to listen to the subtle information ( and sometimes not so subtle) of your body, mind and emotions. This is a powerful practice as we will guide you to ask yourself the right questions to help you dive deeper into presence.
Ray will then lead us deeper with some powerful breath work. His combination of Pranayama and yoga poses will help to further ground us down, balancing our energy to create the space needed to integrate and connect on a much deeper level.
John will then be activating your sense of smell with several powerful plant essences. Plants and trees and flowers are masters at embodying presence. Inhaling the essence allows the intelligence of the plant to access your emotional/limbic brain and unlock your bodies innate intelligence and wisdom. Their energy will also allow deep grounding and integration of your practice into presence.
To help you further integrate this experience, we will have some quiet time to reflect and journal.
We will end this immersive experience with a sharing circle to voice any truth and to open up to the healing collective energy of our group.
We look forward to guiding you deep into your senses to a place of wisdom, peace, love and truth!

We will be following and honoring all COVID guidelines for safety. If you have any concerns don’t hesitate to reach out to Ray or John.
Cost is $45 per person.
