The session will begin with a short relaxation that will lead to a meditative state. Incorporating breathing and color imagery Jay will guide you through opening each chakra. Each chakra has a color that resonates at the same vibrational frequency as the crystal bowl that he plays. Intermittently the audience will experience sound-infused aromatherapy mists that soothe the auric field and bring a smile to everybody’s face. The session will close with the Song of Angels.  Jay’s presentation is a sensory experience where he awakens and activates all the senses with his sounds, aromatherapy scents, vibrational sounds and frequencies and the visual experience of color healing. $30/$25 if paid by November 25
