The sound of your birth name transmits a frequency which begins the game of life! It magnetises situations and experiences to enable you to work through your karma, maximise your talents, fulfil your goals and ultimately your soul’s purpose. Pardon the pun… It’s not as easy as it sounds!! Work is involved… luckily, we have a lifetime, and sound is a great ally.

Sound (frequency) and intention create our reality. It’s a highly effective healing tool which positively impacts all levels from physical, emotional, spiritual. The beauty of the soul channelled through my voice is unlike anything I have previously experienced. I am in awe of its power and beauty.

Sound and the Voice can literally retune at a molecular level.

“In the early ‘80s, Fabien Maman conducted biology experiments at the University of Jussieu in Paris, showing the impacts of acoustic sound on human cells and their energy fields. What he found was that through a series of acoustic sounds, cancer cells would explode and healthy ones would become energized and empowered.”
From Star to Cell: The Way of the Soul — excerpts from article by Terres Unsoeld, Vision Magazine, Feb. 2005

Inspired by the work of French physicist Joel Sternheimer, Maman

“…found that if there was a problem in an organic structure, the molecules of that structure did not vibrate, but if they heard the string of notes they recognized as their tune, they began to vibrate again.”

The College of Sound Healing (where I trained) commissioned Scientific Research into the sound healing method they teach.

Sound for healing and diagnosis is innate and instinctive to us all. We hear how someone is by the tone of their voice, use soothing sounds to settle babies. Ultrasound uses high frequency sound to produce internal images. It’s been used in obstetrics since the mid 1900’s. Sound frequency is used to treat kidney stones by the NHS.

In yoga we use humming (bhramari pranayama) to calm, reset and relax. Sound vibrates the vagus nerve quickly and effectively returning the nervous system to a regulated, rest and digest state. Humming increases Nitric Oxide (NO) production by 15-fold. NO has a strong anti-bacterial and anti-viral effect

Naad Yoga is the science of inner transformation through tone and sound. Sanskrit is one of the ancient languages said to emanate from source. The Mantras use specific sound syllables that create healing vibrations. and give access to different levels of consciousness. Each time we chant a mantra we connect to the accumulated energy of all those who have chanted before.

Chanting or toning OM/AUM connects us with source, the unknowable. There are 4 equal parts – ah, ooo, mmm and silence – representing the beginning, middle, end and the field of potential and possibility. If you are used to a long mmm and no silence experiment with adding this 4^th phase. The silence is the place where integration happens.

Chanting works through the movement of the tongue in the mouth. Here it  

Activates 84 meridians! (64 meridians in the hard palate and 20 in the soft palate).

Directs prana to wherever it is needed in the body.

Calms your mind and emotions

Stimulates the secretion of chemical messengers which stimulates signals to the brain –
the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal gland have the potential to awaken your consciousness.

It’s a great workout for the facial muscles too!

Explore incorporating sound in your day – in the shower, before meditating, with movement. Humming or oming are a great starting point. A simple chant you may be familiar with is

Om shanti, shanti, shanti,
Peace and peace and peace.

Peace for self, family/ friends, the world etc.

Imagine we all chant this 3 times every day. The frequency of peace will envelop the globe.

Like any healing it is important to remember to ground and bubble your energy at the end of a session.

Beyond the choppy waters on Earth there is a calling from the cosmos, the world of invisible energy and spirit. There’s an awakening and remembering that we are more than this body and a pawn in the game of life. We are birthing a new world and everything is possible. The stronger the call from the infinite ocean of life the greater the contradiction and chaos in the world. Nothing is new, yet everything is supercharged, as if on steroids, in your face, loud, contradictory and unavoidable! For many the future seems bleak. But there is hope. There is always hope.

Woven into our being a tangle of karmic, transgenerational and systemic patterns form the basis of our unconscious habits, limiting beliefs, and reactive behaviours. Neither right or wrong, good or bad, punishment or reward. These frequencies inform and guide our life experiences and subsequent world view. They cloud our true Self with fears, aversions, attachments and false understanding of our true spiritual nature and interbeing. We see the world through, dirty, distorted lens – avidya.

The Yoga journey is one of self-realisation. It’s a path of exploration, discovery and uncovering of the Self that lies beneath these clouds.

Einstein is often quoted as having said something along the lines of – you cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness as that which created it.

The overwhelming and seemingly impossible task is just that when viewed from our wounded, 3rd dimensional Self. A higher frequency and consciousness give a different perspective and agency to be part of the change.

The more we remember the interconnection of all life, the easier it is to see beyond the illusion of separation, right/wrong, them/us and explore what lies beyond actions and words.

Self-empathy is where it begins. It is only when we have mastered this for our Self that we can relate to the feelings and needs of others and in-time understand that most if not all of us are acting from this place of woundedness. There’s a long line of suffering behind us all. Part of the awakening is the opportunity to heal unfinished business and patterns through the ancestral lines.
A clear intention and consistent action are needed (abhyasa) and proactive willingness to discover our true self – feel our feelings and emotions, identify our unfulfilled needs and unravel the layers of protection afforded (vairagya).

This is an ongoing process and requires practice and persistence and a willingness to see beyond the known without attachment to any specific outcome. It’s a path of spiritual growth.

It doesn’t matter where you start. There may be clues in the body, breath, voice, vitality, thoughts and emotions. Whatever is present for you is a very good place to begin. The path is often windy, and we encounter blocks and take detours which is ok. Your route is unique to you. There is no deadline.

There is a special place in the mandala of life that only you can fill.

A guide or mentor, being part of a group of those on a similar path are invaluable, but the hard work is your responsibility. I can’t promise you will become a spiritual master or reach the 5th dimension, but you will feel better each step of the way. Oh, and the world will be a better place!

Thank you for walking your path and doing your work, it is very much appreciated.
Love,
Suzan

Ever wondered why us yogis keep asking you to notice, share your experience and how you feel? It gives the mind a positive focus and brings you into presence. This is why you feel so good at the end of the class.

Pure presence leads to calm, peace, and deep healing. It can illuminate the unknown and show when healing is complete. As a healer and teacher, I can guide, facilitate and support. The act of Presence is for you alone. In Presence you feel, befriend and integrate all parts of your being.

Presence is the ultimate expression of unconditional love.

It can be fascinating but not always easy or comfortable. I’ve discovered missing pieces of my story, catalysed tears and bathed in lightness of the release. When the time is right and I’m able to hold it, something new arises. This is the highest form of practice.

There is a space in the mandala of life that only you can fill.

Regular practice develops your presence muscle. Start small, where you are with something that works for you. Free flow movement, doodling, are as valid as silent, structured practices. Let it develop as you do. Be gentle and compassionate. There is a reason for your feelings and vulnerabilities, knowing and unknown. You are special, worthy and belong because and in-spite of everything.

We become Whole when in Pure presence of the Self. There is peace and unity.

Om shanti, shanti, shanti.
With unconditional love,
Suzan
