Friday Evening Sound Bath
June 13th, 7:30-9 pm
Come and wind down after your busy week. Lie down, get comfortable, and receive healing vibrations. I will cover you with cotton blankets and support your body with pillows, bolsters, and eye coverings. For one whole, glorious hour, I will bathe you in the most exquisite, vibrational sounds created by drums, rainsticks, rattles, dulcimer, hand pan, Planetary Paiste gongs, crystal singing bowls, shruti box, vocables, chimes, tuning forks and more.
Be prepared to drop deeply into an altered state of consciousness (theta brain state) where deep restoration and healing can occur.

Guelph Conscious Dance
Saturday, June 21st, 7:30-9 pm
Conscious Dance leads participants on a movement journey of physical and emotional transformation. Through breath, sweat, and expression, participants experience themselves as pure, powerful energy.
Conscious Dance is not about learning steps, it’s about allowing what is invisible within us (emotions, sensations, images, impulses) to be expressed through our unique movement and style. It activates the imagination and utilizes diverse music to create an ecstatic celebration of the human spirit.
The music will follow an arc, beginning with slower, grounding music, building up to faster dance beats intended to invite release, and then transitioning back to prayerful music. There is no right or wrong way to move. It is best to show up and "be moved."
Check out this YouTube video of me explaining Conscious Dance.
Time: 7:30-9 pm (arrive by 7:15 pm)
Where: 42 Quebec St., 3rd floor, Guelph.
Cost: $20 cash at the door or e-transfer: breathetrue@gmail.com

Guided Meditation Instruction
On-Going
Meditation is the practice of learning to be completely awake in the present moment by calming the mind and observing what is within. Through this practice, we begin to understand and untie the energetic knots or conditioned patterns that cause the suffering that keeps us from achieving our full potential.
Concentration meditation involves focusing on a single point. This could entail following the breath, repeating a single word or mantra, staring at a candle flame, listening to a repetitive gong, or counting beads on a mala.
Mindfulness meditation encourages the practitioner to observe wandering thoughts as they drift through the mind. The intention is not to get involved with the thoughts or to judge them, but simply to be aware of each mental note as it arises.
Join me for a one-on-one (or small group) hour-long meditation instruction class. I will guide you through the basics of how to prepare, sit, focus your attention, and practice meditation. The main goal is to help you cultivate an approach to this wonderful practice that can help you to feel calm, relaxed, less anxious, focused, and stronger (mentally and physically).

Reiki & Chakra Balancing
On-Going
This session is both a meditation practice and a healing technique based on the ancient Chakra System. I have created this unique healing modality to include intention setting, Reiki, the placement of certain gemstones on the body, the recitation of the 7 sacred vowel sounds, and sound healing.
The word chakra is Sanskrit for "wheel or disk" and refers to both the physiological functions within the body as well as the psychological energies that we experience as humans. They form an ancient and profound lens for personal awareness and transformation.
In this 1.5-hour private session, I will guide you through a series of beautiful, insightful practices designed to help you relax, clear your energy field, and gain personal clarity.

Private Tailored Yoga Class
On-Going
Tell me what kind of yoga class you want and any physical needs you might have and I will design a class just for you! I will teach it to you, provide a PDF copy and be available for questions and clarifications. Private tailored yoga classes can be delivered in person or via Google Meet. Both options greatly further and deepen your yoga practice and understanding.
Private tailored classes are approximately 2 hours long.

"Barbra tailored my very own personal yoga flow, she was very helpful with making sure the yoga poses and breathing techniques were done properly to avoid any injuries. Thank you for opening up your space, I greatly appreciated it."

Private Sound Healing
On-Going
Sound healing penetrates a person's mind, emotions, and body to help bring them to states of deep relaxation. If you suffer from insomnia, anxiety, depression, or grief, this modality can help you to release and restore. Sound healing is also a wonderful way to simply treat yourself to a beautiful experience where you are bathed in drones, musical instruments, vocal toning, and vibrational frequencies that are known for their restorative qualities.
I offer several different thematic sound healing sessions. All are beautiful, deep, and extremely relaxing. Typically, a session takes 1.5 hours and the person leaves feeling rested and restored.
