Friction, Frisson & Flow: Sound as a bridge back to God
Nakia Reeves
In this teaching and guided experience, Nakia Reeves explores how sound can help you connect with God in a deeper, more embodied way.
Blending scripture, science, and personal testimony, she shows how we are designed to respond to sound—and how it can move us from striving into presence.
You’ll learn a simple framework—Friction → Frisson → Flow—and experience a heart-centered sound meditation to help you soften, release, and become more aware of God’s presence.
