THE PYRAMID ROOM Make sure you arrive with plenty of time to experience the healing energies of our pyramid room, or visit it at the end of the retreat before you head home. Built some years ago now, the pyramid was created to scaled sacred geometric specifications of the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Pyramids have long been known to emit mystical healing & uplifting energies. Sacred Geometry, along with Sacred Sound & Light (Colour) are the expressions of the creative universe. We have chairs & cushions in there for your comfort. There is even a small crystal singing bowl that may be played gently by our guests. And we have Colour Therapy Jars for you to experience for yourself the combined power of pyramid, colour & quiet contemplation. We ask that silence is maintained while in the pyramid out of respect toward those who are reflecting quietly. "Pyramid Meditation is believed to achieve deeper meditation, improve eyesight & hearing, lower high blood pressure, relieve insomnia, arthritis & headaches, faster healing for sores & broken bones, improves memory & increase confidence levels, increase energy levels, balance hormones, improves concentration & understanding"  You are welcome to try it for yourself.
