Move & Soothe- A Gentle Embodiment Practice

Our modern world is an incredibly busy place and we are bombarded by a lot of external stimuli
every day and urged to stay busy and be productive. Our bodies are incredibly sensitive
structures designed to continuously inform us about what is going on both around us and within
us. With so much information coming in simultaneously, we can tend to go into an overwhelm
mode and start to filter things to make the amount of information manageable. In suppressing
the informational flow, we lose touch with our bodies and the important messages they send us.
We become somewhat disembodied as a coping strategy.

In doing so, we may lose track of what really is important to us and we may begin to go through
life in a mechanical, numb, or joyless way. Our bodies get so immersed in always being ready to
move that they forget how to be still. Rediscovering embodiment allows us greater awareness,
greater power over our environment and our responses to it, and a more complete connection
with how we feel, including what makes us happy and how it feels to relax.

Truly letting go and allowing your body to soften out of being consistently prepped for action is a
bit of a lost art... and we have found through gentle, mindful movement to reawaken patterns of
motion not used in everyday life, and then relaxing into the vibrational embrace of Crystal bowl
sounds can allow us to soften and remember how to relax in ways that we have forgotten. There
can be an ‘“Aha!” when you find yourself in a deeply relaxed body state. It is like coming home to a most beautiful, comfortable space. Because yes, you live in there! It's home, in the truest sense of the word.

We would love to help you remember how it feels to come home to your body. Let us guide you
to move in gentle sweeping motions and feel the freedom of that.... And then to sit or lie down
and allow yourselves to be bathed in the gentle waves of a crystal sound bath. To move, and
then be soothed, to support yourself gently, & to see that you can find absolute comfort in
simply being still for a while.

Join us for some mindful movement and a sonic bath and gently find your way home, feeling
aware, relaxed and embodied to finish a busy day.

Ann Ellis is a licensed massage therapist specializing in myofascial release. I have a busy private
practice in Brewster. I am fascinated by the mind-body connection & help my clients with healing and embodiment through myofascial release, shamanic work, dialog, and sound alchemy using the crystal bowls and other sound tools.

I find direct touch and/or gentle self aware movement begins the opening of body wisdom and
that sound penetrates with a deep, irresistible, gentle vibration to open the system further than
is possible with touch, movement, thought, or intention alone.

Acqua Divine
I am a quintessential artist who follows her curiosity and passion wherever they lead. I am fascinatedwith energy as a resource, a current, a lifeline, which lead me to become a certified Reiki master. Iconsider myself a spiritual alchemist who offers opportunities to access this infinte resource andtransform density to lightness, through many forms of expression; movement, sound, collage, multi-media and multi-dimensional BEing.

After studying various transformative movement modalities such as 5 Rhythms, Soul Motion, and
Contact Improvisation, I created "Move and Groove" for children and "Movement Medicine" for adults. Both programs use music to guide and facilitate being present in one’s body, moving in a way that feels good, connecting to self and others, and having FUN!

Crystals have been my muse for the past twenty years. Their healing properties are the stars of the
show in my jewelry line, Acqua Divine. Now, they are speaking to and through me in a new and
different way with the Crystal harp and bowls. I became a certified Sound Healer to be able to share their pure, etheric sound. It is unlike anything I have ever heard, it is holy, it is healing, and it is needed!
