Heart Alchemy: Celebrate and Unwind
2021-02-13 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | Online
Let our vibrational medicine help you unwind so that you may reconnect to your heart and celebrate the love you are this Valentine’s Day.
Join Astara and Orion of Illuminating Hearts in a nourishing Sound Alchemy journey online. Our multidimensional ambient meditation music dissolves the noise inside you that is not you, allowing more flow and ease in your system. Our intentional sound is a channeled energy transmission, lifting you in expanded resonance.
Well, if you can believe it, it has been a YEAR since we’ve had an official Illuminating Hearts event! Although we can’t meet in the ideal warmth of live, in-person and in a room together, we know this will be a beautiful online GLOBAL healing event. It is a combination of live and recorded so you get the highest sound quality possible. The gongs are savvy instruments, and it takes savvy mics and recording to share the fullest frequency remotely. And we have that technology! So, this Valentine’s weekend, join Astara and Orion, Life Dimensions by Ilona, and a beautiful community from around the world to take some much needed time to TRULY drop in and restore (re-star) yourself. Your immune system will thank you. Your heart will thank you. Your entire energy field will glow again!
This beautiful 90 minute online event will help you celebrate love, unwind stress and worry, and connect you to a global community. Once you register, you will have access to the zoom link that you will use the day of the event. A portion of proceeds will go to The Thriving Trolley non-profit founded by Ilona Holland — please spread the word so we can raise more funds to help those in need.

Drop the pebble of the mind into the pond of your heart this Valentine’s Day with Illuminating Hearts.
Sound Alchemy | Heart Alchemy | Soul Alchemy
Our multi-instrumental ambient meditation music creates healing AND is beautiful alchemy, changing states of being from dissonance into harmony. We are architects of resonance and your body’s intelligence is the true healer. Our vibrational medicine acts as an attunement, bringing you into accord or sympathetic relationship with the natural frequencies you are hardwired for and helping you reconnect to your bio-intelligence. Our resonance time machine opens you to the multidimensional nature you are, allowing you to access the quantum field in a clearer way. Retrieve parts of your soul lost across time and space. In such a spacious state you can communicate with your higher self, spirit guides, and even dearly departed friends and family.
Our sonic architecture, the “cathedral of sound,” pulls from over 60 instruments representing musical traditions from around the world, such as the gong, didgeridoo, flute, drum, shruti box, singing bowl, hand pan, bell, voice, and more. We capture live acoustic sound so there is less digital compression and the sound comes to you in fuller frequency.
The soul knows that the only way out is in. When you go in enough, and journey through inner space more often, you meet the primary, innermost essence. Inside your YOUniverse you are met with the benevolent generosity of love — the awareness that everything, including you, is divine. Explore inner space and meet your inner alchemist with the support of our intentional sound. Our sound changes your frequency of thought and alters the harmonics of your body. Heal from the inside out. We sing your soul into full embodiment at a higher consciousness. Your body and soul naturally guides you into a new state of awareness and being.
This is Alchemy. Your heart knows the way.

Celebrate Love
In a month that culturally celebrates the heart and love, Illuminating Hearts is bringing you a sound immersion experience to help you drop into your heart and love yourself up. Astara and Orion stream online a beautiful Sound Alchemy recording where the delicious sounds of our instruments pour into you generating a vibrational field upgrade and heart opening. This Sound Alchemy online event is a song of celebration inspired by Ilona Holland’s (owner and founder of Life Dimensions by Ilona) birthday and personal new year. Because her birthday falls between both the Gregorian Calendar and Chinese new year, it is a wonderful time to tap into the personal and collective new year for each person. When we “level up” in the new year (whether personal or global new year) we can alchemize the year before and honor the newness we are emerging into.

Unwind into Love
When we are stressed, overwhelmed and afraid for extended periods of time we can weaken our system and ultimately lead to the breakdown of our immunity and our ability to heal. And this past year has given us more stress and overwhelm than usual, so we all need to unwind a bit. We are multidimensional and multi-layered beings, and so it is best to unwind at multiple levels. Our bodies and energy field hold the score of our life (and lifetimes). Trauma gets recorded in our fascia, our bones, our very DNA, and our electromagnetic toroidal field — layer upon layer of experiences waiting to be acknowledged, learned and unwound. Our healing is not about fixing anything, it is about lifting up layers and revealing the truth at the core. When we slow down and breathe deeply we welcome spaciousness to unwind it all, restore flow with the source energy we are made of, and discover ourselves anew.

Connect with Loving Community
In this unusual time on our planet, we are all missing live gatherings and connection with others. We are hardwired to belong — the ability to see faces and hear voices is good for our nervous system — mind and body. Also, when many gather they amplify the energy of an event or intention. So, enjoy the multiple benefits of connecting with a loving community around the world on our Zoom video call! Not only you will connect with Astara, Orion, and Ilona, you will be a part of amplifying the power of celebration, healing, and belonging.
The word Universe translates as “uni—verse” or “one song.” When we create coherence through resonance, we are singing the one song of life all together (again). Feel the beautiful energy of the gathered community all sharing in the same song.

Timeline:

Before streaming the Sound Alchemy recording Astara and Orion will discuss why sound healing and soul alchemy is so beneficial. We teach breath and toning techniques to prepare you to be receptive to the healing gifts of intentional sound.
We stream the Sound Alchemy recording for 30 minutes.
After, we will have time for the community to share about their journey inside the sound and ask questions about their experience, instrumentation, and anything else that arises.

Listening Recommendations
While enjoying the Sound Alchemy recording, we highly recommend the following:

Use headphones or earbuds. To get the most out of your listening journey, use over the ear headphones or quality earbuds.
Sit or lie down. We recommend you listen to this Sound Alchemy medicine while resting. It is best to listen to this soul song while sitting, or even better, lying down. Do not listen to this while driving or using heavy machinery.
Listen at least once with your eyes closed. This will help you turn off your mind to drop in deeper into the sound and receive the energy transmission fully. Closing your eyes stimulates melatonin (even during the day) and lowers cortisol, helping calm your overstimulated adrenals. A moment of darkness allows you to receive the healing benefits while inviting more reflection and inner space exploration.

Benefits of Sound Alchemy:
Through listening you align vibrationally with our sound. This is called entrainment. This allows you to:

Relieve stress and promote a lasting and substantial reduction in anxiety.
Activate the alpha and theta states of the brain, and the gamma state as well — this helps you recall mental images and access visualizations while awake.
Facilitate deep physical relaxation and mental clarity at the same time.
Access your parasympathetic nervous system, where healing occurs.
Synchronize the two hemispheres of the head brain creating coherence.
Create coherence between the gut brain, the heart brain, and the head brain allowing the body to communicate and create a natural environment for restoration and wellness.
Receive messages from your Higher Self (the expanded aspect of your soul), spirit guides, and potentially deceased loved ones and loving ancestors.
Leave fear behind and engage your creative thinking and problem solving at a higher level of trust, faith, and connection.
Reduce pain, promote euphoria and stimulate the release of endorphins.

Turn inward and reconnect to the magnificence of your body and soul. Let our channeled energy transmission help you unwind, lift you in expanded resonance, and stir celebration in your heart.
Share the power of love and invite a friend or two to the alchemical celebration!! The more the merrier!
