Every organ, tissue, and cell has its vibration which, when in harmony, creates the most wonderful symphony imaginable, the human body. And all of it is continuously absorbing and emitting sound. Our body as well as our minds, in a relaxed harmonious state, are vibrating at a fundamental frequency of about 8 cycles per second, allowing us to be attuned with the basic electromagnetic field of the Earth itself.

Scientific studies show us that sound has the capacity to create change in the autonomic, immune, endocrine and neuropeptide systems. Both sound and music (simply put, organized sound) assist in allowing the body-mind to come into a deep state of relaxation where the bodies inherent capacity for self healing can occur.

Two and a half thousand years ago the famous Greek philosopher Pythagoras utilized sound as a form of medicine treating a variety of ailments and we can trace this idea back further and outward across continents, cultures and ages right into something we know in our hearts yet cannot find the sufficient words to speak its Truth.

As cutting edge as this modality might seem, there is nothing new about Sound Healing and its Power to pierce the veil of thoughts and allow us to perceive the source of where all sound is springing from.

Sound ceremony is the gathering in the reverence and presence of sound. It is to be an embodied, experiential and direct communion in vibration; and equally a contemplative inquiry and listening meditation on the life, spirit and source of all sound. If you are not in awe at all that touches your ears then you are not listening carefully enough.

If you listen carefully you may begin to perceive a sound, and the source of that sound, if you inquire, has no beginning and has not an ending. Unstruck and uncaused, ceaselessly humming through more than just your ears. There is a symphony inside of you that is waiting for you to listen.

These are just some benefits of toning, mantra and sound healing work:

• Increases sensory perception, clarity, and intuition

• Releases limiting beliefs, stress, and dis-ease

• Charges the brain and alters our brain state, inducing alpha-theta states associated with healing.

• Synchronizes heart-brain-body rhythms, producing a state of centeredness, balance, and integrity

• Dissolves the veils to remembering original intention

• Expands our life potential and creativity, opening a gateway to soul freedom
