“We swim in mystery every day, yet we do not realize it.” – Astara Raven, How The Stars Tell Time
Astara and Orion of Illuminating Hearts return to the shared space of Trinity PT and Omaha Power Yoga to bring you an incredible evening of resonance and meditation to awaken you to the mystery.
Astara writes in How the Stars Tell Time, “The writer David Foster Wallace offers a parable of two fish that aptly describes how we swim in mystery every day, yet we do not realize it. There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, ‘Morning, boys, how’s the water?’ And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, ‘What the hell is water?'”
You too are swimming along, unaware of the quantum superfluid all around you. Quantum mechanics has unveiled some of the mystery, but there’s more to be known and experienced. The multi-frequency magic of the gongs helps dissolve the noise in and around you, unveiling the mystery. Letting the mystery enter your consciousness, your presence, your imagination can change your life at the cellular level and the quantum level. We believe all healing begins there.
We lead the group through a gong immersion experience to support you while you meditate. Orion and Astara encompass you in layers of organic resonant medicine. Appropriate for all levels of meditation knowledge. Bring a friend!

Dress comfortably to sit on the floor. We have a few bolsters, blankets, and back jacks, but we encourage you to bring your favorite sit bolster/pillow (zafu/zabutan). If you need a chair, please message us. As an event for meditation, children aged 12 and up may attend to maintain this atmosphere. We will provide loaner Mindfold eye-masks for those who prefer to cover their eyes during meditation.
Mindfulness: Experience the support the gong provides to drop more deeply into your meditation practice, cultivating mindfulness. Discover a deeper way of listening to your own body and the world around you.
Tune Up: The gong tunes you up with the earth, your natural rhythms, and those around you. The protective aspects of the personality or mind (ego) quiet as you reconnect to the harmonic resonance all around you.
Coherence: The gong helps you reconnect your three minds, your gut, your heart and your head. This coherence allows the head-brain to connect better to your heart intelligence and wisdom.
Bio-intelligence: The overtones and universal resonance of the gong builds vagal nerve tone, engages the parasympathetic nervous system for wholing your body and soul, and helps increase Heart Rate Variability for longevity and vitality.
Brain Superpowers: Access gamma brain waves which in turn accesses all brain wave states and increases well-being, better perception of reality, incredible focus, better self-control and richer sensory experience.
Connection: Mindfulness begins within you and transcendence unfolds in community.
And much more!
