Yoga Nidra
Are you feeling stressed, fatigued, or just always stuck in 'GO' mode?
Are you needing a break and some time to actually rest?
​
If that sounds like you, come join us for a immersive and soothing Yoga Nidra + Sound Healing session.
What is Yoga Nidra?
​
The practice of Yoga Nidra helps to calm the mind, bring emotional purifications, and induces relaxation.
It is a type of silence, a practice to remove karmic knots. A state of realization, consciousness, and awareness. The purpose of Yoga Nidra is to know self. To awaken the inner Guru. To transform breath to consciousness, to bring inner harmony, emotional and mental equilibrium. As well as to share the calm, clear, and discerning mind with others, for the benefit of many.
​
This is your invitation to slow down, relax and reset.
​
Yoga Nidra is a restful practice where you lie down, eyes closed, in a comfortable position, fully supported. This practice will help you to deeply connect with your body. No previous yoga experience necessary, all props provided.
During this session, you’ll experience the combined benefits of Sound Healing & Yoga Nidra. Come be guided through a relaxing meditation to help put you back in touch with your body, mind, and spirit. Then let the resonance of sounds from the crystal harp attune and heal you with their vibrational frequencies. Let the soothing sounds wash over you as you let go of stress and tension, reattuning to your natural rhythms.
Join us at The Yoga Branch Studio, in North Branch, MN for these monthly events, as we dedicate to some time for deep rest. Come clear your mind, reconnect, and recharge! Only $20 per session.
What is Sound Healing?
​
Sound Healing is a powerful therapy that combines different healing sounds, music, and special sound instruments to improve our multidimensional well-being.
​
Also known as sound therapy, sound medicine, or sound meditation, is an ancient wellness practice that uses music and sound to improve physical and emotional health. It involves lying down in a comfortable setting, closing your eyes, and focusing on sounds made by instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. The vibrations from these sounds can have a powerful effect on the body and mind, slowing down brain waves and putting the body into a relaxed state. Sound healing is believed to work by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the opposite of the stress response. This can slow down the heart rate, breath rate, and brain waves, leading to a trance-like state. In my offerings the main instrument I use is my Crystal Quartz Singing Harp.

What is a Crystal Harp?
​
The Crystal Singing Harp is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted musical instrument made of pure quartz crystal. The key component of the crystal harp is clear quartz, recognized as the “master healer”. This mineral is valued for its healing properties, including the ability to improve concentration, clarity of thought, mental balance, as well as strengthen the immune system and balance the body’s energy. Thanks to these properties, quartz crystal is the ideal material for creating instruments that can support meditation, spiritual development, and healing.
When struck lightly with a small mallet, the crystal tubes produce a calm and subtle, but pure and wholesome resonant tone. The crystal harp is more than just an instrument. It’s a fusion of sound, art, and healing that opens the door to new dimensions of spiritual and emotional experiences.
When you play it, it feels as if you have an array of crystal bowls singing together, but with a richer, higher octave – a unique experience that fills the air with a charming melody. It is like a musical bridge, where sounds become medicine, and silence – a place full of magic and possibilities.
The Crystal Harp is not just a musical instrument but a healing tool. In the field of sound healing, this harp is considered a powerful therapeutic tool, known for their ability to alleviate stress, induce relaxation, balance chakras, and even reduce pain and discomfort. Crystal sound therapy is based on the concept of resonance, where the sound emitted by the bowls resonates with the cells of our body, helping to balance our energy centers, or chakras. The sounds emanating from quartz crystals operate at a very deep level, penetrating our inner selves and bringing relief and peace. Its sounds, carrying purity and harmony, dance through the very core of our spirit. These sound journeys have the power of transformation, inducing a state of deep meditation and inner tranquility. This remarkable instrument reminds us of the real, invisible bond that connects us all with nature.

“I attended Chelsea Lee’s Yoga Nidra and Crystal Harp Healing session. It was just what I needed to give my mind and body the rest and restoration it needed. As a mom, I’m constantly on the go, always thinking about my long to-do list. It was like doing a float tank
…but without getting salt water in my eyes! You become aware of your body, clear your mind of any thoughts, feel calm and relaxed.
I look forward to participating in more of these Lionhearted Dreamer sessions!"

"I was lucky enough to get to attend Chelsea Lee’s Yoga Nidra & Crystal Harp
sound healing last Saturday morning! Let me tell you, you are missing out if you weren’t there, SO relaxing!
I’ve done Yoga Nidra before but honestly I almost always fell asleep. Chelsea’s beautiful soothing voice may have done the same for me, but she directed my attention to a 61 point meditation which
was so helpful! Fully relaxed while still staying aware.
Thank you Chelsea! This is your wheelhouse!
Don’t miss your opportunity to join if we’re lucky enough
to have her hold this offering again!"
