Find your Soul Lūx – Illuminate your Body, Mind & Spirit

The definition of Lūx in Latin means “light,” in English, it means a unit of illuminance. In this workshop, we dive into creating Lūx within our body, mind and spirits to overcome stress, anxiety and stuck feelings that make us feel unwell.

What to expect? Join Melanie in this 90-minute journey weaving acupuncture, Reiki, breath-work, herbal medicine and essential oils together to release what doesn’t serve. By doing this, we can cultivate deep, meaningful relaxation so our bodies can heal, our minds can let go, and we can work through how to surrender to the chaotic world around us. When we come together in a group like this, we not only get clarity that we are not alone on our individual journeys but that we can lean on one another without having to interact in the usual ways; our energy, our intention and creating space for unconditional love without strings, helps each of us to heal and in turn, allows us to open up and let go of what doesn’t serve. Anxiety and stress can hit the road…let’s get our Soul Lūx on! No prior experience is needed.

Eating something before or bringing a healthy snack is advisable as we will move Qi and release stagnation with acupuncture and breath-work; this helps the body do its best work. Wearing loose-fitting clothing on the legs and arms will make it easier to access the acupuncture points.

Rain Location: Inside the Victoria Park pavilion (Look for the Canadian flag!)

Please bring: Along with your yoga mat, bring a meditation pillow or anything that would make you feel comfy-cozy.

For any questions or concerns, please email Melanie at mel@soulluxglow.com for assistance.

Music in the Moment: A Mystical Sound Journey

A musical journey created in the moment. These journeys are woven together by the magic of our interconnectedness as souls, and the vibrations that the presence of each individual soul gives birth to— including the magical synergy of soul songs intertwining into a story. Intimate soul songs channel forth from individuals, soul groups, and the collective, as well as alchemical sonic vibrations from higher dimensional realms. Kiara Ra is a vessel in which such vibrations, songs, and healing channels forth. The music is channelled with her voice, classical guitar, crystal singing bowls, shruti box, Indian harp, piano, and various shamanic percussion. She channels forth transmissions of energy that give way to the refinement within one’s consciousness. Like waterfalls of light, the frequencies of higher dimensional expressions harmoniously flow forth. Within this space, there is room for an expanded interpretation of one’s present state of being and one’s life experiences. The channelled music has much potential to guide us deeper into states of inner peace, balance, clarity, relaxation, energetic harmony, heightened intuition, happiness, surrender, love, and self-love. These transmissions may help to reduce stress and anxiety while promoting clarity, joy, and a sense of lightness. The energy channelled is also intended to help move and release old stuck energy, trauma, and sickness. Releasing and processing such energy will create a more harmonious and healthy self on all levels including our physical, emotional, energetic and mental bodies. One may leave feeling rejuvenated, connected, focused, and more in alignment with one’s preferred life flow.
