For many thousands of years ancient sages and enlightened communities have understood the significance of sound as a sacred instrument of immense power and potential, not only for healing but also for spiritual development. All tribes throughout history have been working in harmony with sound, and weaving it into their rituals, ceremonies, rites of passage, meditations, celebrations and healing philosophies as far back as the dawn of humanity. 

Ancient civilisations revered sound so deeply that they believed it called the universe into creation. Indeed Om is known as the original vibration of the universe. This sacred sound is composed of three fundamental syllables – A U M, which represents the various states of awareness.

Of all the forms of energy, sound is perhaps one of the more powerful manifestations. Sound energy is intricately connected with the human experience and the naturally spiritual side of humankind. Sound influences not just the mind, but also the emotions, and is known to alter the life force of a person, with its healing capabilities.

Shamans, priests, priestesses, and medicine men and women have always worked with sound in sacred ways since ancient times and have created many sound instruments to assist them. These are things like crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, tuning forks, and many more. The ancient Egyptians had a deep understanding of sound's healing properties. They believed that specific tones and rhythms could affect the body's energy centres and promote healing. Instruments like the sistrum, harp, and voice were used in rituals and ceremonies to invoke healing energies. It is only in the last few decades that ancient sound wisdom of the past has been rediscovered.

With a deep understanding of the potency of vibration and sound - my guest today is one those people bringing sound healing back into mainstream consciousness, and making it safe and accessible in everyday life.
