Full Moon: Kundalini Yoga, Sacred Kakaw and Harmonising Sound Journey

You are warmly invited to an evening ceremony of sacred kakaw (cacao), kundalini yoga and a deep sound medicine immersion. Working with the energies of the full moon in Gemini, and preparing for the Winter Solstice.

This combination of kundalini, kakaw and sound activates a state of self-healing and transformation, bringing flow to your life force energy, attuning to the vision and guidance of your soul, elevating in spirit and optimising your sacred body vessel.

We will begin by sharing a kakaw ritual together before moving into kundalini yoga and meditation, then flowing into a long sound medicine immersion to take you deeper still and to integrate and harmonise the work in your total being.

Instruments include gong, crystal and himalayan singing bowls, drums, voice, chimes and more.

This is a passage to connect with Spirit, become lighter and know yourself more intimately as a being of Love.

KAKAW RITUAL 

We will share a ceremonial brew of the plant Kakaw (a Mayan spelling of Cacao), with honour to traditions Toltec and Mayan. Kakaw opens the heart, connecting us to the ancestral wisdom in our blood, to our sensuous creativity and inspiration, and to the unseen realms. She is a grandmother plant for bringing about equilibrium and elemental connection, for supporting emotional expression, illuminating the shadows, and celebrating the bliss of existence.

The Kakaw we will be communing with comes from an ecological organic plantation in the ancient Lacandona jungle of Chiapas, Mexico, where it is lovingly tended by a Mayan family and prepared with the intention for it to be shared ceremonially.

KUNDALINI YOGA & MEDITATION

Kundalini yoga is a tantric practice for connecting with the guidance of your soul, expanding in awareness, brightening your inner light and uncoiling toward your greater potential. 

Kundalini yoga has profound effects on recalibrating the nervous and endocrine systems, increasing vitality and opening the channels to your higher wisdom and embodied knowing. We develop strength, flexibility and coordination, improve the function of our organs, nurture intuition, access states of deep meditation, stimulate powerful detoxification and much more. 

Working with pranayama, asana, mantra, mudra and meditation we circulate our life force energy, removing obstacles and healing energetic blocks in the body as we go - blocks which may be memories or imprints from this lifetime or those inherited from ancestors or past lives.

Increasing both the sensitivity and resilience of the nervous system, we open up to a vaster range of perception and projection, in ways that may seem extraordinary. We can then listen with more clarity to the inner guidance of the soul and intentionally recode our bodies - amplifying what's already flowing well in life, and harmonising what's needed to support ourselves toward a greater life experience.

The classes are open to all ranges of experience and ability.

HARMONISING SOUND JOURNEY

A deep meditative journey with the harmonising frequencies of gong, crystal and himalayan singing bowls, drums, voice, chimes and more.

Allowing you to relax deeper into your being, to release blocks, rejuvenate on a cellular level and experience a vaster state of awareness.

ANNABELLE CHARANBANI

My name is Annabelle, blessed also with the name Charanbani Kaur.

My path is devoted to the healing and creative arts, supporting people to come into greater presence and to engage with life with more passion, ease, curiosity and confidence. For this, we work towards optimising physical health, creative flow, connecting with spirit, and allowing the heart and soul to lead with greater clarity.

I primarily serve with kundalini yoga and meditation, sound medicine, intuitive storytelling, self-enquiry and holistic massage, accompanied by various plants.

This line of work is ultimately about finding balance. Of solar and lunar, personal and impersonal, infinity and finity consciousness, earth-water-wind-fire-ether. It includes detoxing physically and emotionally, reconciling and releasing tired memories, finding greater flow with creative energy and joy, and stimulating sensuality. We develop our relationship with the soul, and we become more awake to the ways in which wisdom and guidance is being transmitted in each moment.

Alongside my studies and certifications in kundalini yoga and sound healing, my approach is informed by:

- nearly 20 years of study and practice in various lineages of yoga;
- living and studying in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico for the past few years, learning with nature, wisdom keepers and native medicine practices;
- studies and trainings in the neurophysiology of complex ptsd and its application to embodied practices, alongside my own lived experiences;
- over 10 years of guiding people in intuitive participatory storytelling;
- certification in holistic massage with a combination of TCM and Toltec techniques;
- trainings in energy healing and channelling;
- a background in theatre and the performing arts, as practitioner and teacher, with a BA from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama

I'm in deep gratitude to my many teachers and guides - human, plant, animal and mineral - with whose perspective and company I've had the fortune to be gifted.
