The Spirit of Sound
Sound has, throughout the ages, been used to enhance, to heal, to provoke, to invoke the Divine; to embrace, to embody, to realize greater realities than are commonly perceived; to open doorways to otherwise impenetrable states of consciousness. Spiritual cultures the world over still practice such ages-old traditions, which are the foundation of modern music and sound practices, from rock music to gnostic chants, and aboriginal trance states.
In modern science, the intentional use of sound has been shown to enhance wellness through the use of coherent emotional states. Adding guided imagery practices brings about even greater states of well being as measure by science.
We shall explore the nature of coherence, and contemporary and ancient sacred sound practices, coupling this with meditative practices, used to bring about heightened states of wellness, or awakened states of consciousness, by modern practitioners, and traditional spiritual societies, such as Tibetan Buddhist, or indigenous cultures.

A Physician's Sound Healing Journey
As a physician, I have never found a more powerful and transforming healing modality than music and sound. This workshop will use the sounds of metal and quartz crystal singing bowls with guided meditation, imagery, and chants, to help you create a harmony within. This harmony allows you to experience inner silence. Silence is not, as commonly believed, the absence of sound. Rather, it is like an empty vessel that allows you to behold and connect withyour own divine essence, which is the source of healing and well-being. These are the techniques that have benefited thousands of my patients over the last 15 years, and I am happy to share them with you in this workshop.

Topics will include the science of wave phenomena, molecular sound research, stress theory, and energy medicine. During class special emphasis will be given to the relationship of modern stress science to ancient spiritual principles. Through an understanding of sound students will be able to make a connection between modern research and ancient spiritual practices.
As part of that connection each participant will learn how to use tuning forks and vocal sounds for balancing the autonomic nervous system, inducing still points, and stimulating movements in alignment with the concept of a "primary organizing wave". Each participant will learn practical sound healing skills that will easily integrate into their life and professional practice.
