About the Music
Inside the Music
The creation of music is a constant evolving play with the universe. Soul stirring vibratory interplay is interpreted through melodies and rhythm in a primordial dance between dimensions and the heart.
The best way I am able to define the undercurrent of passion in my work is a soulful gravitation to Ancient-Futuristic Unified Physics (the science of Universal Love, Oneness and Wholeness) within the geometry of vibration To express this through Music and Voice has opened a gateway to the true nature of all creation including a profound connection with audiences.
Music connects us to each other. It connects us to the subtle mysteries of ourselves, it connects us to nature, the heavens, the universe and all of creation. Music is a great transformer. It can change an imbalanced state of mind to an elevated state of peace within a few moments. Music is so deeply impressionable into the subconscious that it bookmarks sensory memory. It can open the heart in ways nothing else can.
As far back as I can remember, music was a significant and powerful influence in my life. When times were difficult, music had a way to take me to a place of spiritual centeredness. Reflecting, it seems as though music was etched in my soul … each experience being a seed of blossoming potential that resided in my heart.
Music is my profession, however, my approach to musical studies was unconventional. I found greater value in studying Sanskrit and Tibetan chanting in a monastic environment than studies at the Conservatory. I could immerse myself in sound and come to an integrative experience of vibration which was truer to my heart, than theory and technique. I did spend some time at the conservatory, however, the call to live the song took over. On that journey, with every turn life offered, sound, song and music were the hallmarks of my healing, awakening and connection.
To this day, it is a way of life on a never ending path where the light shines brighter with every step. I humbly admit, there is no knowing where the path leads, however, I have found, the heart knows the way only by the light it feels.
As a professional, it is important to refine and develop my instrument. However, in the silent blossoming of fate, being the song and not a singer has shifted my perspective of purpose and what is offered to others. There is so much more behind a voice that unleashes the depths to a light of a creative force imbued with grace … for everyone.
When creating music, meditation is my primary source of inspiration. Meditation opens the doorway to a realm of subtle emptiness where music is birthed through a velvet stream of vibrational love. In its pure simplicity, waves of vibration, songs and sounds, touch the deepest parts of the soul. Sharing this grace with others through recordings and performances amplifies fields of light where unity and healing is felt and experience by all.
Sound is a conductor wave of consciousness. Music expressed through Heart-aligned intent is like a vibrational atomic transformation awakening holographic wholeness. When shared with an audience, a communion with the spheres of Source takes play where transference happens, touching deeply into the Soul. The ancient wisdom of Sound has laid a path that has chosen me by virtue of the lessons I needed to learn, healing that has needed to happen, songs that need to be sung. To this day, every time I sing I feel every cell vibrating into particles of light. In heart we are all one, what effects one, effects all creation in a vast radius of energy. Music is the conductor.
This page, “ Inside the Music” is inspired from experiential insights. Immersing in ancient practices, yoga and scientific research, exposed me to varied worlds of vibration and sound. I feel sharing this may give you greater insight into how sound and music can affect you in a positive, conscious, enlightening and life-enhancing way. Music is so much more than what most realize.
What evolves in a theatre or recording is like a vibratory transference. The creations, whether an event or recording, become a catalysts of vibratory unity. I’ve witnessed many times a field of subtle vibration surrounding an audience. The collective breath pattern synchronizes in an environment of open-hearted connection. This is evident in their subtle interactions with each other in an atmosphere of contentment and peace when a concert is finished. The beautiful connection with an audience and the audience amongst themselves is an amazing experience. Seemingly magical, the undercurrent lies in the common thread of vibration and heart that unifies us all.
Certain types of sounds and music have a proven effect in creating states of relaxation, balance, higher intelligence, healing and visualization. Generally these include specific melodic structures, varying frequency levels, binaural rhythm patterns and chord arrangements which evoke an atmosphere of peace, mystery and openness.
The unveiling mystery of music and its effects on energy, emotions, health, unity and consciousness continues to grow in validity as the wisdom of the ancients and contemporary scientific research are starting to dance hand in hand.
My personal journey of using sound to heal surfaced in a death experience where I saw consciousness take form through vibration. I used the sound of my voice to recover from a severe head injury caused by an accident. Without medication of any sort, meditation and sounding specific vowels, harmonic tones, melodies, and subtle rhythms patterns served as medicine to full recovery. Not only was the physical pain transformed but the long term emotional repercussions were positively affected. This experience triggered an all too familiar yearning to understand more about sound, the science of vibration, healing and enlightenment.
Immersion in ancient practices of sound, voice, chant and deeper meditation is a way of life that nurtures my creative expression. From the wellspring, creations continue to manifest as insights flourish from a place beyond understanding.
Sound has been used as a healing catalyst throughout human history, across cultural traditions. Tibet, China, India, Maori, Hawaiian, Aborigine, Egyptian … Christian, Islamic, Hindu, African and Jewish. Tracing back nearly 40,000 years, the aboriginal people of Australia use sound to heal bones, cure ailments, communicate and commune with the land and sky. To this day they continue to employ practices like singing songlines that deeply connect themselves with the spirit of all creation boundless of space and time. Most indigenous cultures such as Maori, American Indian, Hawaiian and more engage in their own unique and equally profound practices.
Sound is a potent healing dynamic with the capacity to unify with, what may be considered, sacred and divine to the physical experience. This runs much deeper than religion, it is primordial form in organic resonance. Indigenous cultures use chant and sound to commune in relationship with each other, nature and the universe. Without the scientific analogies, or leaps of faith, these cultures have a knowing so deep and true their “ways” transcended the necessity of understanding, simply by being in tune… It is Natural.
This is a lost “way” in contemporary society. The ancient “ways” of sound and all it beholds, is older than the imposition of time. All being said, the ability to heal oneself with sound is a human/divine birthright that is natural and organic by nature. Sound can serve as a vibratory vehicle to transcend the matrix of concretized thought into a field of expanded awareness having a profound effect on the functioning of the brain-heart relationship. It is as though one can use the practice of sound to penetrate imprints, subconscious blocks, emotional difficulties and more.
Historically, as medical science evolved, humanity has forgotten about the potent power of sound for healing and balance. However, ancient cultures have preserved this knowledge and it is increasingly evident, modern medicine is realizing the value of these practices. Advanced medical technology is using sound and vibration as modalities of healing. For example: Ultrasound and the Novasonic devices for sound healing; and practices like, Sonocytology and Cymatherapy.
Meditation and Sound
The Source of all creation exists in the realm of consciousness. Through fields of vibration creation manifests. The difference between consciousness and actual matter is simply energetic intensity, magnetic properties and molecular density. However, all is borne from consciousness in a realm of non-dualistic vibration.
I have always viewed meditation as an act of physics more so than a mystical series of experiences. Thoughts have wave patterns and frequency variations depending on the emotional intensity. Proper meditation slows down thought/brainwave activity. Thus the brain patterns lessen in energetic intensity … from here, access to the space between thoughts becomes broader. This space or gap is a pathway to consciousness, the subtle realm of vibratory creation. As brainwaves decline in frequency, access to the gap increases. The dynamic of action and reaction looses its grip in the emotional, physical and subconscious. One eventually develops the awareness to navigate in life from a sustaining place of creation in Heart Centeredness rather than instantaneous reaction from imprinted interference. In the gap, one experiences immersion of Self, free from the dualistic nature of the mind.
Regular meditation lowers brainwave activity synchronizing the right and left hemispheres of the brain. In this integrative state, awareness and creative inspiration manifests. There are gradual stages of meditation that relate to brainwave activity. The deeper the meditation, the slower the brainwave frequency. In deep meditative states, one feels grounded in source transcending ephemeral experiences. Sometimes one can hear the song of the cells and the song of all creation as one in the silence. Sometimes there is a feeling of suspension where nothingness and everything is one.
Using sound in a meditation practice makes profound changes in brainwave patterns and states of consciousness, as well as positive changes in the body.
Scientific experiments on meditating subjects have found measurements of frequencies, and rhythmic pulses from the voice synchronize with the rhythms and frequencies of the earth. In adjusting frequency speeds of insects, birds, dolphin sounds and humans singing, the sound is the same. The nature of the Heart beholds a “knowing” within this “knowing”, we resonate as one. It is the sustaining chalice of non-dualistic frequency embodying source consciousness in the human vehicle… It is natural
Sanskrit chanting has specific rhythms, tones and patterns. There is a design to each chant. Some chants evoke states of peace, some manifest needs or situations. This is not an act of miracles. It is like a cosmological science embodying a clear understanding of creation and how vibration, consciousness and the universe works. Basically, it is like an “intunement” from the heart to the source of creation, from there, the songs are sung and creation manifests.
Discovering the world of indigenous sound and its unifying component between heaven and earth, rides on a single primordial vibratory thread beholding the capacity of refined states of awareness. It is there where they are in tune to each other. No matter what the physical manifestation, plant to human, receptive, interactive and expressive vibratory communication is ongoing. It is like an inaudible vibratory symphony where every instrument has its part in the grand composition. Here again, every expression of creation, in the seen and unseen worlds, is composed of consciousness and through vibration, manifested into form … We are one.
We are constantly affected by our environment of sound in addition to the vibratory frequency of our DNA, thoughts and feelings. All of which interferes with a clear connection to source and to each other. Through deep sound and meditation practices, interfering frequencies transform to neutral wave patterns where the flow and open passage to the gap is expanded and connecting pathway to consciousness is clearer.
Primordial Language
We sometimes associate primordial sounds with sounds while in the womb or nature … all being familiar in the subconscious mind. I feel a sonic/ primordial language emerges from the “knowing” of the heart which communicates through an energetic dimensional wavelength, felt to an unspeakable depth. Spoken languages are based on a matrix of mind/identity to communicate ideas.
While healing the head injury, I could actually feel specific vowel and consonant combinations activate energetic sensations. The sequence of harmonics and sounds became a sonic language within a streaming melody. Refined awareness of sounds, tones, harmonics and rhythms became pronounced as I experienced more balance. It felt as though the hemispheres of my brain was synchronising ushering more inspiration and biological/emotional balance.
The deeper I immersed in the sound, the harmonics and textures became activating open gateways. Songs emerged that touched me beyond the depths of the heart. I could feel the entirety of my being transforming and recovering to balance. When I spoke or sung affirmations using English, however, I could feel a different part of my brain engaging and the flow shifted to a denser vibration.
Scientific research reveals our cells sing, they emit sound because of metabolic activity activating sonic frequencies. They sing to the cells of others in an infinite atmosphere of subtle vibration. The most intimate vibratory dynamic of our true nature replicates the momentum of harmonious cosmological interaction. In this ocean, primordial sounds exist within our deepest memory waiting to be unleashed through our hearts and voice.
Primordial Sounds awaken our Organic Biological Intelligence activating subconscious and collective conscious familiarities. Some Primordial sounds relate to the vibrations and sounds in the cosmos. Once heard, there is a subtle experience of macrocosmic and microcosmic integration. This can be experienced in certain types of music, harmonics and tones through the voice and melodies. All creation has harmonic resonance and is connected because everything manifests from consciousness.
We are a microcosmic replica of the macrocosm. Practices like meditation and yoga are a dimensional journey to the experience of this realization … awakening the heart. Modern technology using sound to heal, bypasses integrative processing and awareness, yet there are effective results. However, there is scientific technology designed as complimentary tools to facilitate the awareness of heart/mind states and their relationship to holistic wellbeing.
Sound and Healing
Sound healing is about accessing heart –consciousness where sound or song carries a transforming frequency having the ability to re-harmonize cells…Sound heals naturally.
The heart is the transmitter of consciousness to form through vibration. Centered in the gap, harmonics resonate from the heart of where we embody the experience unity with all creation.
It is no wonder Music is called the “Language of the Heart”… It is from this abode the mystery of life emerges through a voice … a sound … a cell. Sound and Music, the awakening path of healing to experiencing the Self that may otherwise remain silent, unfelt and unheard.
The voice, an instrument of harmonic spheres where music carries the soul of the universe from one single note to the hearts of humanity.
