Sound healer and vocalist Jonathan Goldman on humming as a simple but powerful sound healing practice. He has a book out on this topic.

hihihi! De nada is just SO funny!..

you know what?.. something really interesting happened. I REALLY enjoyed the song you shared
of Simrit, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco Guru Ram Das.
Listened to it several times, and noticed today that it entered my system…
This morning I was doing garden work, and the music was alternating with the Amitabha mantra.
So, inside my head, it was like this:

“Who do you think you are?”
“om ami dey wa hri!”

hihihi

Wow that Locrian scale is wicked! It definitely fits with “Mama, I just killed a man.” But with Norwegian wood it turns a sweet love song into a horror movie. “I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.” Suddenly the girl sounds like a psychopath who had him for dinner! :joy:

I have completed the circle…
LOVED these videos with her…

here are the highlights of the forth:

“Sound is the most powerful tool we have on the planet.”

I agree… when I sing every day, and especially if it’s one hour, my confidence boosts and my LD practice expands to boundless light!

I also relate to “Express my passion unapologetically” and “core happiness” (stable).

“When I’m empowered in my own sound, that empowers everybody else.” LOVED it!

These teachings, when in parallel with TWR’s makes all sense and empowers it even more, because throat is where true inner peace lives – the base of it all.

Helps balance hormones and boosts the immune system.

We refine our practice and our energies, raising the frequencies in ourselves and those around us. Genuine connection and empathy. This changes the world.

The place where change begins is within here.

This area of ​​the body is the vehicle in which we share our power and create change.

Who doesn’t want to be comfortable in their own voice… enjoy the benefits of enjoying it? Healing, uplifting and spiritual growth.

It changes our blood chemistry and our radiance and the way we feel.

The voice is the quickest tool for leaving one state and entering another – also because it affects breathing.

Infinite Gratitude @Kalabasis (AND AMAZING SIMRIT) for sharing this GOLD with us :pray:t3: :infinity:

Reminds me of learning Devanagari with 4 D sounds and 4 T sounds. I still mess them up. Glad she gets into these subtleties . . .

My friend, Steve Gorn, demonstrating basic raga theory on the bansuri flute. He has an interesting personal story. He played Jewish Klezmer clarinet growing up. Then as a young man during the hippie days he was hanging out on an island in Greece and met some classical Indian musicians and was blown away by it. He then traveled to India and began studying bansuri flute. He now plays with a number of contemporary kirtan musicians as well as performing Indian classical music. Here he demonstrates the basics of raga (a way to improvise on Indian musical scales).

Good resource on the ten thaats- or musical scales- of classical Indian music. When I was learning harmonium one of my daily practices was to play through these thaats in different ways.

@Bucket. That’s very cool! I didn’t know that you studied harmonium or Indian classical music! Did you get into playing kirtan or ragas at all?
I made a very brief foray with some workshops in Nada Yoga (yoga of sound) that included singing some of the thaats. Alas, I never made it that far, however. It became apparent that this would require much more discipline and practice than I had time for.
