Pure Sound to Ground - An Exploration of Sonic Spiritual Practice

Abstract: Pure Sound to Ground will uses gongs, crystal bowls, Tibetan Sound bowls, chimes and other instruments as a means of shepherding higher states of meditation and transcendence. But this is not transcendence in terms of escapism or spiritual by-pass, but attunement with one’s true nature in community. Given all the collective stress, grief, sorrow, trauma and sadness we have witnessed in recent memory, words will not solve the problems created by words. But since sound is pre-cognitive and primordial, it connects with essential parts of our nature – beyond ego-centric identity (a hallmark of colonial spiritual systems and methodologies).Pure Sound to Ground will uses gongs, crystal bowls, Tibetan Sound bowls, chimes and other instruments as a means of shepherding higher states of meditation and transcendence.
