Contemplation & Sound: New Year's Day Crystal Bowls 1.1.2021

Rothko Chapel

Please note, this livestream recording is choppy during the Q&A session due to some connection disruption during the live event. Over the next year, each Twelve Moments will highlight the role of music and sound in spiritual practices, and how these practices sustain us in the face of current challenges and injustices. For the month of January, the Rothko Chapel presented a crystal bowl meditation to mark New Year's Day, led by Dana Shamas of Bayou Bliss Yoga. About the Twelve Moments series Since 2005, the Rothko Chapel has shared a monthly contemplative practice featuring different spiritual and faith traditions. Taking place on the first Wednesday of each month from 12-1pm, this series engages teachers and religious leaders from the greater Houston community, providing opportunities to learn more about specific traditions and participate in a contemplative practice. About the presenter Dana’s passion for health and wellbeing comes from the heart. As a therapeutic yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, biofield tuning practitioner, and crystal bowl musician, Dana understands how complementary tools in the healing arts can facilitate a profound and lasting transformation. Her work as a certified practitioner in biofield tuning brings structure and form to the power of healing vibration that is available to all beings. With her generous spirit and open nature, she creates a safe and nurturing environment in which her clients can explore, release, receive, and heal. Dana’s previous work in the world of business and finance gives her a unique perspective on the challenges we face day to day, and how elusive a sense of wholeness and harmony can be. Dana knows that harmony within ourselves gives us the capacity to create a more harmonious life. She is dedicated to helping people find a deeper connection to their Higher Selves so that they may fully express who they are and what they are meant to do.
