It is indeed being under a grand piano, but also much more.
When you crawl under my grand piano and nestle amongst opulent quilts and cushions you are treated to 40 minutes of piano improvisations. You are surrounded by the music and cocooned by the sound. Your entire body is bathed by sound vibrations. You get to enjoy your very own personal concert and a remarkably relaxing and healing experience. The experience affects you mentally, emotionally and physically.
Each person’s session is unique, but there are some experiences that are frequently mentioned by clients. These include the sneaky, childlike, playfulness clients experience just by crawling under the piano. The experience is also often described as calming, relaxing, magical and meditative. The vibrations of the piano and the music I create for you give you access to becoming present to both the moment and your body. The experience is ‘healing’ because it physically affects your body at a cellular level. -

To me, beauty which engages our senses – sight, sound, touch, smell, taste - stops us in our tracks and brings us into the moment in an unfettered space where dreaming, exploring and moving beyond our boundaries can thrive. In this space we are present to love and being connected with the world - no longer alone. Sound is the medium through which I create and share beauty.
Under the Piano is a multi-sensory musical experience. Imagine yourself nestled in the luxury of silk comforters and cushions with artwork, a multitude of candles, and aromatherapy. Imagine the powerful sound vibrations of the piano permeating, enveloping and resonating through your body. This is indeed an experience that engages all the senses - a whole new context in which to experience music.19 days ago -

Shawn Bearman, of Radical Ideas, is a coach I have been working with. She encouraged me to incorporate a concept she calls The Dharma Added Effect into my business. I’m very excited about this. Shawn expresses how it works best and has given me permission to quote the following content. I am actually a fortunate recipient of The Dharma Added Effect myself. This is how I am able to work with Shawn at this time. I look forward to contributing my hours to the community.
THE DHARMA ADDED EFFECT
What if every business was more concerned with the difference it made rather than how much money it had at the end of the year? What if Making THE Difference went viral? Business can make THE difference that limits the individual.
When Buy 1 Get 1 Free meets
Pay It Forward something amazing happens…
Grow your business out of making a difference
The Dharma Added Effect is an opportunity for people to make the difference that they are committed to by doing what they love to do.
You can read more about the Dharma Added Effect on my blog. I'd appreciate any comments and pushes of course. http://craigaddy.com/2011/08/the-dharma-added-effect/
Under the Piano is applying the Dharma Added Effect in the following way.
Each client who books an Under the Piano session or purchases a gift certificate will receive an additional complimentary gift certificate for an Under the Piano session to give to someone who is ill or someone who does not have the financial means to enjoy an Under the Piano session.
What about you? Are you called to incorporate The Dharma Added Effect into your business?
