Sound Advice in the New Forest

Have you ever felt like screaming? Well perhaps you should try it. When we scr-e-am, the 'e' siren sound vibrates and tones the area of the brain that allows a clearing out of the aggravation and agitation.

There are many instinctive, primordial sounds that we should be using to help heal and balance our chakras, but in our modern world this is now not so. One instinctive sound that many still use is the 'sound bathing' of a baby with aah - aah. These vibrations are conveying love and wonderment to the baby's heart chakra.
Having worked for most of my life on the land, with plants, vegetables, fruit and animals, I have learned the simple but deep-lying connections between all living things.

I try to use these principals in my everyday life. Working with the Native American 'Medicine Wheel' helps me to teach the psychological basics of understanding, connecting and respecting all forms of life.

Chant and mantra are also very powerful psychological tools that help people cope with everyday stress; release, affirm, creativity, strength and spiritual development are all involved with chant and mantra.

I am so fascinated and excited by the branch of vibrational medicine that I have studied it for five years. I believe that most medicine will eventually be vibrational. We already use mainly vibrational techniques including ultra sound. But we are apt to overlook the human voice as animportant healing tool.

I now work with three very large bronze gongs using them for sound bathing meditations and healing. The beautiful resonating layers of harmonics transport you away to a special place; a magical healing journey. It is a really unusual, extraordinary experience.

I hold regular workshops and go to groups, schools, hospitals and private houses to teach sound healing techniques, as well as one-to- one healing teaching people ways to help and heal themselves.

Our newest venture is a regular healing, meditation, 'chant and mantra' group at Copythorne, near Cadnam in the New Forest. We meet every Tuesday evening to have fun and relax in a loving, creative and healing atmosphere. We use different sound therapeutics every week with voice, instruments, colour and crystals to heal and balance the chakras. The evening is closed with a gong sound bathing meditation.

You don't have to have a good singing voice, or be a musician to produce pure healing tones. Come along and hear for yourself.
