- October: Crystal Bowl Meditation, Priestessed by Grandmother Stone: Monthly Full Moon Crystal Bowl Meditation.Come spend some time relaxing and meditating to the beautiful sounds of Singing Crystal Bowls. Grandmother Stone will play 7 different crystal bowls, each one made to resound with different Chakra centers of your body. The vibrational rate, of each bowl, will attune and balance the Chakras as you meditate.While each bowl's effect is its corresponding Chakra, due to the bowls' composition of pure quartz crystal (99.992%) the entire body benefits. The Singing Crystal bowl can place the listener/receiver into an Alpha brain wave pattern easily and quickly for a deep meditation.Quartz crystal music holds the vibration of white light, which ultimately refracts into the rainbow and acts directly on our chakras when played. It has the power to bring about a positive shift in our consciousness, and as our awareness expands, we grow in our physical form. Crystal is able to maintain the balance of electromagnetic energies between the north and south poles. Clear quartz integrates the balance in our own electromagnetic energies.
- November: The Goddess of the Harvest Corn Mother, Priestessed by Grandmother Stone: Grandmother Stone will teach us about the goddess of the harvest - Corn Mother.
