It is performed during the new moon phase. Experts consider it the perfect time to set in your intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle. Through the course of the session, the host helps you set your intentions and manifest ideas for the future while reconnecting with yourself using the energy of the full moon. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitehavens.com\/magazine\/chocolate-heaven-in-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cacao<\/a> is used during these ceremonies as a heart-opening and grounding tool to enhance the spiritual experience. The facilitator uses a warm ceremonial-grade cacao drink which is prepared using pure and unprocessed ingredients, allowing its natural properties to have a more profound effect on the participants.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">2.

It is believed that Greek physicians used musical instruments to heal their patients. They did so by using the power of vibrations to aid in improved digestion, enhancing sleep and managing stress. Like all the other forms of meditations, here too, the host helps you set an intention and guides you through several deep breathing exercises, body scans, or visualisation techniques. The sounds that are created through the sessions are often believed to resonate with specific <em>chakras<\/em>, helping clear blockages and restore energy flow.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-21219\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27576%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20576%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%273576%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize-889x500.jpg 889w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/conscious-design-Hn4wYHOaeIc-unsplash-resize.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">3.
