This paper explores the transformational power of chanting on the heart and mind.
Our mind is a creature of habit and the thought cycles can be hard to adjust after they have been there for so long. However, the upside to this is that once we do change the “program” to be a healthy one, than it is more likely to stay in place as well. Chanting and using mantras to focus one’s attention can help quiet the mind.
The sacred world among us - There is a sacred world around us. First I thought that the name for this written work should be the secret world around us, but actually is not secret.
It has always been there, in front of us all the time, interacting with us, making our lives possible, balancing the energies of nature, life and dead.
It’s all about to open our eyes, the eyes of the heart and this world will become accessible to us. The vibrations of life, the energy and spirit within everything and all.

As sound becomes the new modality, I’ve begun to review the Tibetan bowls as a new venue.

The Didgeridoo is the worlds oldest wind instrument, which was developed by the indigenous Australian people, who are known as the Aboriginals. This instrument is
created naturally by termites, which hollow out the center of Eucalyptus tree trunks or
branches. The tribesʼ people find a piece that is well suited to craft into a didgeridoo,
and then burn out the inside and put beeswax on the end to make the instrument playable. The Aboriginals have been playing this instrument for thousands of years, and use it in the ceremonies and rituals, which are full of dancing and singing.

For forty thousand years people across the world found ways to consciously vibrate a column of air within tubular shaped natural materials, the earliest known example so far being of animal bone. Though we know little about the sounds these Neolithic instruments made, we recognize their forms as flutes. Many indigenous cultures today still connect to their ancestral traditions with music from flutes made of wood, clay, shells and bamboo.
In Hawaii it is the sweet sound of the ‘ohe hano ihu (bamboo nose flute) that has survived from ancient times. Its history shines a light on the deep spirituality of the Hawaiian people and culture.

Handheld frame drums are among the oldest known musical instruments, dating back to prehistoric times. Drums have throughout the ages been used for ritual, prophecy and celebration. And, through the process of rhythmic entrainment, drums have the power to heal both individual and collective bodies. The key to the use of the drum as an instrument of healing is through repetition - monotony does not represent a lack of skill or imagination, but serves a therapeutic purpose, much as mantra, breath and chant repetition are used in Eastern traditions.
This paper describes the method and effect of rhythmic drumming.

Plato stated that the continent lay in the Atlantic Ocean near the Straits of Gibraltar until its destruction 10,000 years previous. Plato described Atlantis as alternating rings of sea and land, with a palace in the center 'bull's eye'.
