Wake Up & Dance with Swara Nanda On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt has special guest Swara Nanda. Little bit about Swara’s story from her:  After losing the father of my only child to suicide on Valentine’s Day 2018, and the 44 months of estrangement that followed with my daughter, I'm here to share a story of finding inner freedom. While my daughter and I are slowly finding our way back to connection with the help of professional therapy, what’s been most healing for me is Wake-Up! & Dance. This simple practice of somatic movement and stillness meditation has helped me survive, heal, and reconnect to my truest self —and it’s something anyone can do, no matter their body or limitations. Short bio: After leaving a promising career in the music industry, in the early 90's Swara began her journey as a practicing yogi, studying theology and sociology with a variety of different meditation teachers and spiritual gurus. Over the course of 30 years, Swara has accumulated well over 10,000 hours of meditation practice and has dedicated her musical talents to writing music for sound healing, spiritual transformation and guided group meditations. Over time, Swara has developed ways to pass on unique spiritual practices based on years of study, group facilitation, devotional service and meditation. Swara is an ordained Minister and offers Wake-Up! & Dance online, and in-person Meditation Retreats and Workshops.
