Soundarya (pronounced
Sound-ar-ee-ah) means "beauty" in Sanskrit. It is
the component of my work that utilizes sound and music for healing, blessing,
and transformational purposes.
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 when listening, some of the sounds
are unusual. Notice how the different types of sound have different
effects on your energy.
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 instead of receiving.
Sound quality is best when listened to with headphones or via CD.
