James D'Angelo
Sound Spirit
The natural vibrations of the voice have the power to unlock the fine energies in our chakra system. Vocal sound, applied therapeutically to body, mind and spirit, is the perfect instrument for tuning our energy systems, removing stress from our organs and achieving mental clarity and heightened awareness. Working holistically with the voice is a form of sound Yoga and offers true sound health.
With James as your guide, you will learn to increase your breath capacity, release energy blockages through directed toning using therapeutic seed syllables , explore the cleansing action of intensified natural sounds such as laughter, stimulate and balance the energies of the chakras, create healing sounds for the organs and experience deep relaxation and peace.
Many of these sound rituals are done with added simple movements similar to Tai Chi and Chi Kung that encourage and direct the vocal sound. You will also have the opportunity to experience a sonic attunement of the nervous system through tuning forks. All this is balanced by meditative silence that carries the vocal vibrations to deeper levels. The quality of the voice is not the issue, only the deep intent. No previous experience is necessary.

Awakening Chakra Energies Through Sound
with James D'Angelo
The key to our self-transformation lies in the vibrational spin of the chakras. The closer their frequencies are to the optimum the more we become who we really are and produce sound health at every level.
Through the process of therapeutic vocal sound the chakras are stimulated and balanced, throwing off the blockages and releasing fine energies. To achieve this five pathways are followed in this experiential workshop: toning, the sounding of mantras, ritualising natural sounds, chanting from different traditions and vocal improvisation complemented by Tai-Chi like movements that encourage and direct the sound.
Inner sound is explored leading to the meditation state where the even greater healing lies. The rationale for all of the sound rituals will be given. No previous experience is necessary, only the deep intent to become united with your true self.
