Sound Journey with Dr. Zachary + Krista Cashin

Sacred Sound Journey in the Kiva

Join us for a monthly exploration of sound and healing in the sacred Kiva. Immerse yourself in the vibrations of bells, chimes, didgeridoo, flute, and gongs, guiding you into deep meditation and present-moment awareness. This journey offers a unique opportunity to experience the power of sound to calm, balance, and energize the spirit.

The Science of Sound Healing
Sound baths are more than a spiritual experience—they are scientifically proven to support well-being. Vibrational frequencies from instruments like gongs and chimes stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones like cortisol and promoting deep relaxation. Studies show sound therapy can lower heart rate, blood pressure, and feelings of anxiety while enhancing focus and emotional balance. The harmonics and overtones resonate at cellular levels, aiding in physical healing and fostering a sense of inner peace and connection.

Krista Cashin will enhance the evening with Healing Touch Therapy, a gentle practice inducing deep calm and relaxation. Through light touch on the shoulders, face, and neck, with optional essential oils, Krista’s care supports your transformation.

The Healing Power of Sacred Sound
Sacred sound is a universal spiritual language found across cultures and traditions. It resonates deeply within all beings, offering profound healing, balance, and rejuvenation. This sound journey combines gongs and other healing instruments to create a vibrational experience rooted in Buddhist teachings and enhanced by bio-energetics and quantum science. Participants are bathed in rhythms, harmonics, and tonalities that promote emotional balance, cellular renewal, and spiritual awakening.
