Sounds of the Cosmos Artists

Throughout recorded history intentional sound has played a significant role in the shifting and transformation of consciousness. Cultures of consciousness have used specific instruments in acheiving specific states of non-ordinary reality. Petroglyphs in Australia 30,000 years old depict Aborigines playing dijeridus, entering the Dreaming during three day ceremonies. Tibetan bowls and bells have been used in the Himalayas for 4,000 years to invoke deep states of meditation. Frame drums are found in all indigenous cultures and played by the village shaman or medicine woman to enter underworlds or invoke healing states. Gongs are found in most eastern temples and are used to activate spiritual connection. Chanting of mantras, or sacred sounds, has been foundational in Hindu traditions for over three thousand years as tools of manifestation and accessing cosmic unity. 

More recently used is the Crystal Singing Bowl, comprised of pure quartz crystal, working on the same principles as the silicon chip in your smartphone: storing data (through making one’s intention) and amplify it (through one’s projection). The crystalline nature of human molecular physiology - such as DNA, which has enormous capacity for information storage - resonates sympathetically with quartz bowls, and responds dramatically to the frequencies generated. 

Tuning forks are calibrated to specific frequencies and access ancient modalities such as the Solfeggio Scales and Chinese Meridian system to entrain the body-mind to higher states of resonance.

 This evening's experience includes a foray into the instruments, then allowing the sounds to immerse one into their transformative sonorities. This format is designed to quieten the mind and invoke deep states of relaxation and regeneration.
