New Moon Tune Up Sound Session: Stop Holding It All Together

What if you didn't have to think your way into a different state?

Sound doesn't only give you something to hear. It gives your body something to experience.

Sound begins as vibration. When an instrument is played, it creates pressure waves that move through the air and reach the body. You hear them through the auditory system, but vibration can also be experienced physically through the skin and tissues, particularly at lower frequencies. The nervous system is continually receiving and responding to sensory information, including sound and vibration. (PubMed Central (PMC))

That's part of what makes a Tune-Up Sound Session so different from simply listening to relaxing music.

You'll be immersed in layers of vibration and sound created with crystal singing bowls, gongs and other resonant instruments. Quartz itself has a fascinating physical property called piezoelectricity: mechanical pressure applied to quartz can produce electrical charge, and an applied electrical field can mechanically deform it. That property is one reason quartz is important in technologies ranging from watches to electronic oscillators.

But here, we aren't asking you to believe that quartz will “heal” your body.

We're asking you to experience what sound makes available for you to notice.

The Difference Between Observing And Witnessing

You may already be very good at observing yourself.

I'm stressed.
I'm overthinking.
I need to relax.
Why can't I stop doing this?

Observation can easily become evaluation. We stand outside the experience and analyze what is happening.

Witnessing is different.

Witnessing means remaining present within the experience while noticing it.

Nothing has to stop.

You don't have to make your mind quiet. You don't have to slow your heartbeat. You don't have to release tension. You don't have to achieve relaxation.

The sound gives you something immediate to encounter.

A bowl sounds.

What happens in your body?

The gong builds.

What do you notice?

The vibration disappears into silence.

What changed?

And then another sound arrives.

This becomes a living practice of Return To Witness®.

Think About A Moment You Probably Know

Your phone lights up.

It's a message from someone important:

“Can we talk?”

Before you've even answered, something may already be happening.

Your stomach tightens. Your shoulders rise. Your attention narrows. Your mind starts constructing possibilities. Maybe you immediately type a response.

That's Activation.

You could spend the next twenty minutes analyzing why you're reacting.

Or you could notice:

My stomach tightened.

My breathing changed.

I'm imagining something is wrong.

I want to respond immediately.

That's the beginning of Witnessing.

The circumstances haven't changed.

The sensation hasn't necessarily disappeared.

But now you are in relationship with what is happening rather than simply being carried by it.

And that can make another question possible:

What is available to me now?

That is the territory we'll explore during this New Moon Tune-Up.

The Libra New Moon symbolically brings our attention to balance, relationships and reciprocity. Instead of asking you to set another intention or become a better version of yourself, we're exploring something much simpler:

What happens when you stop trying to hold everything in balance and listen to what is already playing?

Come lie down.

Let the sound move around you.

Feel the vibration.

Notice the silence between sounds.

Notice yourself noticing.

You don't have to know what you're supposed to experience.

In fact, You Don't Need To Know What You Need.

Start With What You Notice.

Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in. Comfortable clothing is encouraged.

Yoga mats, blankets, eye masks, and bottled water are included.

Reception with tea service and snacks afterwards.
