Amadea
is the aspect of Melissa's creative and professional work that utilizes
sound and music for healing, blessing, and transformational
purposes. The word "Amadea" is Latin and means the love of the divine feminine. It is Melissa's intention to transmit the love of divine consciousness through spirit-infused sound.
Sound is a powerful vehicle for the transmission and transformation of energy and consciousness. Sound as vibration goes beyond the sense of hearing and impacts our energy bodies, our physical bodies, and our emotional states. Sound generates shifts in brain wave patterns and is capable of altering our states of consciousness. Through the principles of resonance and entrainment, sound can be used intentionally to shift energy and consciousness.
Toning has been used for centuries as a way to access and influence the energy of our
bodies and generate shifts in consciousness. Toning is spontaneous and unstructured sound generated through the voice. It's not meant to be singing as the sounds that arise are often not those that arise from standard vocal technique. As you may notice, some of the sounds are unusual. When listening to toning, notice how the different types of sound have different effects on your energy.
These tonings
were done in each of the seven major keys of the standard Western
classical scale. Everyone responds to sound differently, so pay attention to where in your body you experience the sound.
While listening simply rest in the awareness of how you feel
and what you sense. For toning, accessing the feeling that the sound generates in the body is more important than thinking about the sound itself. Simply experience the sound and receive it in whatever way feels good to you. Also, if you want the full benefit of receiving, do not make sound yourself during the recording as that will put you into the mode of transmitting.
Sound quality is best when listened to with headphones or via CD.
