Sound Meditation at LongHouse
Perfect Way to start your weekend in the Hamptons
|
LongHouse Reserve will offer Jim Owen's Sound Meditation sessions every Saturday morning at 8 am check back for start date.
The sessions consist of coaching and exercises to deepen meditation through the use of sound. The session leader, Jim Owen, is a landscape designer who maintains a daily spiritual practice. He has travelled to India several times for study, most recently during the winter of 2010. Mr. Owen propounds the use of sound vibrations to foster mental alignment with the universe making meditation a true pleasure. Mr. Owen says, “The focus for this year’s Sound Meditation is entrainment. Entrain is a term used by musicians to describe how a drummer plays music with a pianist or other musicians. Simply put, to entrain means to align with the vibrations of some, person, place or thing. In the world of spirituality we are entraining with the Divine that lives in each of us. When we entrain with our own Divine vibrations, they come forth into our awareness and reveal themselves..” A member of LongHouse Reserve’s Garden Committee, Mr. Owen also believes in using sound to enhance the spiritual dimension of gardening.
