STILL X CHILL - TRANŚCEND LIVE + Elixir Social with Virya

A guided MindSTILLness session designed to trigger the mind’s implicit transcending reflex—a natural shift beyond thought into still, quiet awareness. We pair gentle guidance with Alchemical Quartz Harmonics (precision-tuned, overtone-rich crystal bowls) to cue the self-transcending response and accelerate parasympathetic recovery.
This is not a generic sound bath; it’s an intentionally scored, timed protocol built to induce transcendence.

After the session, chill + connect with the SPIRIT elixir—passionflower, skullcap, tulsi, reishi, blue lotus, rose, schisandra—nervine/adaptogenic herbs that stabilize the hypometabolic “mind-OFF” state and ease re-entry.

• New or seasoned meditators wanting a reliable, on-demand reset
• Founders/creatives/athletes seeking calm + clarity without trying harder
• Anyone curious about a measurable, science-informed path to inner stillness

• Intro (what MindSTILLness is / isn’t)
• Guided MindSTILLness × Scored Live Harmonics (≈30 min)
• Integration + The Alchemist's Kitchen Spirit elixir (ground, reflect, connect)

• Seated experience (chairs provided).
• Sound is present but gentle; if sensitive, arrive early to sit farther from bowls.
• Wellness/education experience; not medical advice.
• Wearables welcome (Apple Watch/Ōura/WHOOP) if you like tracking recovery.
