Within the Company of Storms
If you have been reading these posts over the course of the last year or so, you may have come to notice that as much about sound this is, it’s less about the therapeutic benefits but more about how we establish ourselves in the world and sound as a conduit for expanding one’s consciousness. Nada…...
The Nomenclature of Belief: Part 1
Many years ago I wrote three books that I never published. Not because they weren’t valuable, but they were a practice for finding my voice in writing. I would see too much of my influences coming through, as an emulation of those I found great comfort in. They slowly morphed into my first book, The Architecture…...
The Eternal Contrast: Seasons in the Length of Days
I find it fitting to acknowledge the Winter Solstice. At my home, this is the true spirit of Christmas as the sun begins its return to earth. The sun sets around 3:30 over the mountain to the west and in general, the sun stays hidden throughout the day. At my time of writing, the next…...
The Sound of Snow and a Canvas of Silence
At my home in Vermont, the snow has already begun to fall. We have about a three to four-inch base already, it may thaw…but we are in the midst of the season of snow in the mountains where the dead thickets of brush and fallen trees feel at home within themselves. They are returning to…...
Who Do You Hear: Part 5
The past four articles have been a simple explanation of the aspects of the self that contribute to the sounds of the world and how the individual relates to them. In this, our inner dialogue is subject to the make-up of the entirety of our being. We can begin to look at the inner voice…...
When Do You Hear: Part 4
This article is the fourth part of a series. The series, in general, has been to introduce sound healing not only as a modality of greater well-being but, as it has been for me, a path of enlightenment and spirituality that walks with you every day like the sun upon your back. In essence, how…...
Why Do You Hear? Part 3
I hope by this time in these writings, I have conveyed that sound healing is a practice in life rather than simply a form of wellness entertainment. In truth, that is what it is. A spectacle of capital as the wellness boom continues. While I am pleased more and more are attracted to the practice,…...
How Do You Hear: Part 2
In the first part of this series of writings, we explored the idea of “What Do You Hear,” which reflected aspects of selective hearing that reflect one’s own dynamic life. We choose to focus on certain sounds as we do in life. It is akin to walking the most beautiful beach in the world….giant cliffs,…...
What Do You Hear: Part 1
For me personally, sound is everything. There is a branch of Yoga called Nada Yoga, which is the Yoga of Sound. In essence, the use of the auditory (both inner dialogue and external) senses for the expansion of consciousness and the connection to the divine source of all life, all creation, and all that moves…...
Power
The approach to sound healing is as diverse as the many people who facilitate the experiences. Each person has a unique background and style which lends itself to a certain experience. The folly is the setting of false expectations for the said experiences. One can make any myriad of claims for what the practice does…...
