Om Sweet Om at the LINE Hotel

The Experience

If you’re looking for a relaxing experience to get away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Austin, look no further than the LINE hotel’s Om Sweet Om event. They host the wellness event on a Sunday evening each month, it is complimentary for hotel guests and they have tickets available to non guests for $15. Each month has a different theme with Feburarys being “The Art of Self-Love”, with a focus on nurturing the relationship you hold for yourself.

As soon as I walked in, I was transported to a serene state. The ballroom had beautiful windows surrounded by trees with a view of Downtown Austin and Lady Bird Lake. As everyone trickled in, Favi Parilla of Inner Heart Shine walked around with incense to help create a calm atmosphere to start the event. The evening began with a group tarot card reading by Favi to help set our intentions. After the reading, we were prompted through a breathing exercise and self massage to begin settling into a relaxed state.

Next we were guided through a sound healing and meditation session with Sonali Krish of Black Swan Yoga. She used many different instruments to soothe while we laid down, simultaneously Favi was moving around the room performing Reiki, a technique used to promote relaxation and heal or balance energy. While Sonali and Favi were moving about the room, the state of relaxation I felt hardly allowed me to notice them or the time passing.

After about an hour in the sound bath, we came back together to hear a collective reading of our energy from Favi, where she told us about different things the group should be more open to or more mindful of. We got to hear from Sonali about practices to compliment our evening like stretching, journaling and staying hydrated. While we listened to the ending comments, the most beautiful sunset was beaming light into the room which really added to the whole experience. Lastly, they did a raffle for two people who attended the event to win a month of Black Swan Yoga and an individual tarot card reading.

Continuing the Good Vibes

We were released around 6:15 which gave the perfect opportunity to grab dinner at one of the LINE’s restaurants: P6, Arlo Grey or Cantero. I headed up to the rooftop to P6 where I had dinner and drinks with the most gorgeous sunset view to end the night.

Conclusion

This event was the perfect Sunday night activity to relax and reset before starting a new week. If you’re interested in attending the next Om Sweet Om, it will be held on March 16th from 4:30pm to 6:30pm and the theme is The Art of Sacred Flowers & Their Spiritual Uses.
