Our Experience 2009 at The Sound Healing Retreats at The Negril Yoga Centre and Jackie's on the Reef

The Negril Yoga Centre Retreat is usually held the in May or June. Date will be determined. This is the opportunity to live like an Islander in cottage room style accommodations and visit Jackie's on the Reef. Approximate rate is: $500 for room, meditations, treatment, and land airport transfers. Yoga $10 per class.

May 2009 our retreat journeyers experienced a wealth of "self" and relaxation.
The Negril Yoga Centre and Jackie's On The Reef Holistic Spay were both enlightening in many ways.

The Negril Yoga Centre was like home away from home in the foliage, so lush and unspoiled in a Caribbean environment. It's like living in a private magical community with a unique and a very special individualized morning yoga class. We had the freedom to walk the beach at anytime or go into town. We got our meals served up homemade Jamaican style. I had to have my Callaoo Omelet and the others had to have the freshly made yogurt with fruit. Oh, I say magical because we even think we were visited by a colony of natural island little beings (fairies?) during our Sunday evening Sound Healing Singing Bowl Meditation Session. That's the only way we can explain our experience.

Being way out there on Jackie's Reef was a peaceful heavenly place we just LOVED.
Perfect for my Sound Vibration Treatments in the Dome Room with the Caribbean Ocean and Celestial Jamaican Sky

magnified the sound of the bowls. You can actually lay out in large beds on the reef and read, write, or whatever you like. The food is healthy and delicious. You have to have a fresh fruit smoothie daily. Jackie welcomed us as a gracious host and sage.

The Sound Healing Experience with Himalayan Singing Bowls

Meditation with the Himalayan Singing Bowls is one of the easiest and most effective methods of meditation. It is a method of sound vibration healing. The simple explanation is that the sounds and vibrations of the bowls made by striking and rimming them, go into your body, your vibration, and harmonize your essence. When your body is in harmony, the "dis-ease" is dispelled.

When I first started to meditate, I was just falling a sleep. Then I would wake up with the thought...."Oh no I did it again. That wasn't meditation!" Then I was introduced to the bowls quite by accident. Through her avid love for shopping and curiosity for learning, my then 12 year old daughter led me to the Himalayan Singing Bowl Experience that started in 1993. It was she who bought the first bowl, but it was I who became the bowl's choice.

Finally, I was meditating deeply and getting the healing peace and balance I was searching for. At the same time I was introduced to mantra meditation. WOW!!!! Did I go deep. But I found a connection with both meditation methods. However, it was the bowl's sound and vibrations that gave me my first feeling of what meditation really is.

Now can you imagine this Sound Healing Meditation Experience every morning and evening and getting a healing vibration treatment, doing Qigong and/or Yoga in the natural environment of a Caribbean Island rich in the spiritual healing power of ONE LOVE?

This is an amazing life changing renewal of mind, body, spirit that will change how you live your life. It is the beginning of a new way to breathe your life everyday. This is what happens at the My Second Breath Sound Healing Retreats. We present our intimate soul revival retreats in January and April in Negril, and November in Runaway Bay with freshly cooked Jamaican food, and of course beautiful beach and natural healing waters, lush tropical foliage and more. But it is your personal experience for a positive change of life that is the main attraction.

This is a spiritual non-tourist journey.
