A mantra is “a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of ‘creating transformation.’” •1 The word Mantra is said to mean “that which protects the mind,” or a more
literal meaning based on etymology is “an instrument of mind.” •4 In my yoga classes, I like to remind students to be mindful of the mind, for it is the mind that will often take us out of a pose or out
of our flow faster than anything else. Therefore a mantra becomes a tool or an instrument to focus and develop our minds, to thus awaken our consciousness to higher octaves so we may play a sweeter song.

Sanskrit is an ancient language of Vedic tradition. About the fifth or sixth century BCE a grammarian named Panini carried out a program of regularizing Indic. In effect, he created a dialect of Indic in which the irregularities were eliminated. He formulated nearly four thousand rules concerning grammar and morphology (the formation of words) for this dialect. Thus this dialect of Indic was called the perfected or refined language. That is the meaning of Sanskrit, the perfected language. It became the preferred language for religious and philosophical discourse.

Short Description
This paper is essentially about the geometry of our food, and proposes that consuming these structures via our food may beneficially impact our physical and energetic bodies. The geometric structure of whole foods often reflects our own bio-geometries, consuming foods that do so reinforces and reinvigorates the geometries within our bio-systems that project the hologram of the original blue-print of our bodies. This paper refers to this concept as the bio-geometric diet, and approaches practical applications of it with reference to the relative geometries in orbital patterns of the planets and related symbolism, in accordance to the geometries found in chakra systems, and to the Fibonacci sequence -- the principle of organic growth.

This paper explores the subject of vocal improvisation as a method to communicate with source to receive and relay information conducive to healing.
Silvia Nakkach, an award winning composer and author of book Free Your Voice, believes “The voice is the gatekeeper. Spirit uses our voice as a vehicle to sing through us”(Nakkach, 2013). She believes the universe is always singing, the melodies are in the air, the plants, the stars and in our bones and by deep listening we are able to receive them. Silvia as well as shamans throughout the ages believe that melodies and sounds given by spirit have the ability to heal and impart insight.

This paper will be a brief overview to certain types of light therapy, and discuss how and why healing with light can easily be added to anyone’s healthcare routine or healing practice. Since the subject of light therapy is so vast, this paper will concentrate primarily on low level light therapy (LLLT) from LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which produce minimal to no heat. Lasers can also produce low level light therapy. The difference in LEDs and lasers is the type of light they produce; with LED light waves being incoherent or dispersed, and laser light waves being coherent or focused.

When beginning this paper I knew I was starting down a rabbit hole that I would have a hard time being quick and to the point. There are many facets in which I want to keep unraveling and diving deeper, to allow for a more comprehensive look into the world of healing through sacred songs, plants and prayer. Being a ceremonialist, in which I believe every day is a new beginning and that each step I take is a prayer, I have chosen to open the door to a topic that encompasses my walking and waking life. In this paper I will begin to connect the dots between both North American and South American shamanic approaches to plant medicine, sacred songs, and the powerful effect they have on unlocking our infinite potential, by allowing us to start our journey home, in return, healing our minds, body and opening up to our eternal soul.

Trance healing is an important part of indigenous cultures around the world. For example, Tarantism in southern Italy during the 16th and 17th century, the Vimbuza Dance in post colonization in northern parts of Mawali, the Spirit possession hospital in Zambia with Ruth Chabala, Shamans practices in Korea and Candomble religion in Brazil. Music and community together creates a resonant field to allow the healing to takes place with singing drumming in a circle.
Perhaps it's because most of these rites have been persecuted or kept as taboo.

My final paper is on the ideal that an instrument can have an archetypal male or female energy. I have looked at many different resources and thought of a couple different elements of how to approach it to put together my thesis on whether instrument's can be determined to be male, female or androgynous and how that could be applied in a sound healing modality or in creating a type of therapeutic music.

The Vibration of Food – Everything is vibration including the food we eat. Our food has a very strong influence on how we vibrate. This paper is an education on food and its vibrations, how it was measured initially in the 1930’s to how its vibration is measure today. Many things have an influence on the vibration of food such as the way it is grown; organic vs conventional. The journey our food takes from the time it is harvested until it hits our plate plays a huge role in its vibration. Anthony William, The Medical Medium, writes about the spiritual significance of each food in his book. Our awareness of a food’s spiritual purpose can determine its vibration. It is good to understand which food support the function of each of the 7 main chakras as this impacts the overall balance and vibration of our being. We have the ability to change the vibration of our food in many ways beginning with showing love & gratitude for the energy exchange. Most importantly, everyone ...
