Radiant Alignment: A Chakra Cleanse Sound Bath
Wed. 7/29 @ 7:00 - 8:30 pm:
This month at Ocean Bliss, we are exploring the theme of Radiance— the light that naturally shines through us when the body softens, the mind quiets, and our energy is no longer blocked or dimmed.
Join Jen for a deeply restorative sound bath designed as a full-body chakra cleanse. We’ll begin with gentle guided relaxation inspired by Yoga Nidra to help the nervous system settle, and the body fully receive. From there, you’ll be guided through each of the seven chakras while immersed in the healing vibrations of crystal bowls, chimes, and other sacred sound instruments.
This practice will include optional gentle toning and seed sounds to help clear and awaken the energy centers, with special attention to the throat chakra— the place of voice, truth, expression, and resonance. When the throat is blocked, our light can feel held back. Through breath, sound, vibration, and stillness, we’ll create space for your inner radiance to move more freely.
Inspired by subtle energy work, sacred geometry, and the body’s natural ability to harmonize, this evening is an invitation to clear what feels heavy, reconnect with your own frequency, and rest in the light of who you truly are.
No experience is necessary. Come as you are, dress comfortably, and allow yourself to receive.

Every month this past year, Sunday Sanctuary has brought Reiki peace of mind and body to communities throughout the peninsula. On August 2nd, it comes to Ocean Bliss in Belle Harbor.
Join us and other peace seekers and nature lovers there for the “restorative interlude” described by Dan Guarino of The Rockaway Times as Reiki in Rockaway.
The circle will gather over Jamaica Bay in the airy comfort of Jennifer Kelleher’s aptly named Ocean Bliss studio. We are so happy and honored to participate with Jennifer, the Ocean Bliss community, and its wonderful contribution of wellbeing to Rockaway.
Here are some details of what to expect in Sunday Sanctuary sessions.
An easy flow of:
- Gentle greetings and intentions
- Inspiring theme of the day
- Guided visualization into expansive peace and beauty
- Reiki Healing by practitioners with advanced qualifications

Doors open at 12:15 pm. Please enter and leave in silence, allowing the relaxation to steep in your system. The session is typically 60 minutes.
This is a community event that takes place the first Sunday of each month. Donations are accepted and not necessary.
Each of our neighbors brings so much to the circle with their good intentions and reverence for our unique coastal community and the inspiration of the sea.

Your neighbors Elsie Maio, Dana Humphrey and the Sunday Sanctuary Dream Team
