Healthy Acadia invites community members to join a virtual workshop, “Meditation with Sound and Music,” on Thursday, Oct. 3 from 5-6 p.m. via Zoom. The free event, featuring special guest David Sholemson, is part of Healthy Acadia’s Monthly Mindfulness series.
The workshop will explore various meditation techniques that incorporate music and sound to promote a peaceful and healthy state. Participants will engage in standing and seated meditation, as well as moving and still meditation, to discover which music or sound best supports their meditation practice.
“Music is sound, and sound can create silence,” said Sholemson, quoting the spiritual teacher Osho. “We are all energetic beings vibrating at our own frequency. This class will delve into how the vibrations we call music can assist in meditation.”
Sholemson’s journey into energy healing and meditation began unexpectedly in December 2005 after his second knee surgery. Seeking relief from pain, he found himself at an energy yoga center. After two weeks of practice and energy healing, he realized he had found his calling. Since then, Sholemson has trained extensively under master healer-teacher Chun Shim, becoming a Qigong teacher and workshop trainer. He has also studied with qigong master Robert Peng, shaman Sandra Ingerman, and integrated the wisdom of Ram Dass into his teachings.
