Acupressure, Meditation + Live Music

In a time where we are hyper-focused on our health, it sometimes feels almost counterintuitive, where the obsession with protecting ourselves and our loved ones has become a trigger for stress. In this event, we’re going to hone in on balance and discover ways to strengthen the body physically via the respiratory system as well as bolster mental and emotional wellbeing through a targeted meditation.

Acupuncturist and herbalist, Anna Lee, of Mee Ra Rituals will delve into how to strengthen the respiratory system via the lung channel. Stagnant lung qi can affect your heart channel and trigger feelings of anxiety. She’ll will walk us through both channels spanning multiple acupressure points that can be easily done at home. Afterwards, she’ll lead us through a grounding heart meridian meditation, accompanied with live music by Portier and Tauwoo.

What you’ll get out of this:

• An understanding of both the heart and lung channels and how they impact our wellbeing
• A tutorial on acupressure points that target specific functions and benefits to support the lungs and heart. These points will help harmonize the stomach; drain and clear “heat” in the lungs, coursing the sinews and connecting vessels; help with pain including headaches, migraines, neck rigidity; soothe grief; and calm the mind and spirit.
• An interactive and soothing experience with live music.

Please wear something comfortable with either short or loose sleeves so you can access acupressure points on your arms.
