From the Inside Flap

"Travelling the Sacred Sound Current: Keys For Conscious Evolution" is a sound journey emcompassing multiple levels. It is a gathering of key teachings from Masters of Sound throughout the ages. It provides practical information and techniques for your personal application, as well as guidance on the esoteric uses of sound as a tool for healing and sacred creation.

When one begins to work with the Sacred Science of Sound, a powerful force is invoked. As we elevate our vibration through sound, the spiritual fire in our body rises. This fiery stimulation loosens and dislodges energies of a denser nature, causing them to surface. Maintaining one's balance during this process is key and requires ongoing inner purification as well as physical exercises to aid in physical release and grounding. When practicing the sound exercises in this book, allow yourself time to integrate the new frequencies and gently release the old. Follow your inner guidance. Never continue past your own comfort level or that of others if working in a group. As you embark on this voyage prepare for change, for sound is an efficient energy shifter that can facilitate deep and lasting transformation and provide entrance into the realms of Soul.

The nature of sound is nonlinear; a vibratory wave that penetrates deep into the transcendental field of the listener, far deeper than written words are able, and thus the musical accompaniment "Travelling the Sacred Sound Current: Divine Chants & Sacred Tones for Healing & Meditation" was created. This CD is a collection of Sacred Intentional Sound, inviting the listener to experience the sound current of divine mantras, chants, crystal bowls, drums, didjeridoo, chimes, gongs, nature tones and meditation.

May you be blessed by the outpouring of higher harmonies that flow through the Sound Current and may you be inspired to sound your Soul's note in al its glory in your life. As you do, you transform not only yourself, but those around you. When enough of us are singing from our hearts with the voice of our Sould, a new song will unfold in a world thirsting for harmony.

In the Silence between the Sound, may we find our return to the original peace of our Soul.

I vividly remember lying in bed at night as a child before falling off to sleep, mesmerized by the sound of the wind as it blew through the trees. I was beckoned by the wind's many voices: during a storm its irrepressible, howling strength; on a summer's eve its gentle, soft whispers. Instinctively I would merge my consciousness with this ever changing force and fly upon its currents of freedom, transported beyond the boundaries of my small human self to a place before words, a place of deep, soothing comfort. The wind's audible breath acted as a trigger, a "sound code" that stirred my awakening consciousness. This pure voice of nature spoke truth to me in the way of the Original Language: the language of pure vibration that is common to all things: every creature, every pine needle, every star.

Many years later I experienced a similar summoning when I first heard the resounding tones of a crystal singing bowl. As the sound vibrations of the bowl permeated my body, every cell began to tingle and sing in response. These pure crystalline sounds travelled deep within, touching long forgotten parts of my Self with their golden chords. Their sound vibrations opened doorways within my consciousness, setting me on a wondruous journey through the inner realms; a discovery of the "libraries within libraries" which are entered not through reading, but through direct experience.

Sound evokes such remembering. It speaks to our Soul in a way that nothing else does. It is intimate, it is visceral, it elicits feeling. The secret to its power is its ability to bypass our intellect and touch our emotions. Penetrating deeply through our innermost being, sound unifies our isolated pieces, restoring the harmony of the whole. Sound links us with a remembrance of our Soul's essence. An ancient Ren (Egyptian) teaching describes it thus, "Lifetime after lifetime our Soul Identity is awakened through sound...once heard, the Sound calls our Soul into the proper dimension and we begin to vibrate at the rate of our Soul Frequency." Sacred sound creates a communication channel between the higher and lower kingdoms. It is a carrier wave that can transport us beyond the gateways of our known worl to the timelessness of our inner essence and the symphony of the Cosmos.

The intent of this book is to offer sound tools for the reharmonization of ourselves and our earth. These sound codes are a link to higher octaves of consciousness; the travelling wings for our Soul. When we travel the Sound Current, we are not travelling anywhere outside of ourself - we are travelling within. Our body is the gateway to All That Is. Harmonic sound codes pulse continually through all dimensions of consciousness: sound codes that are designed to activate the inner hearing and memory of our Soul. As our inner ear awakens to hear beyond the mundane of the ordinary world, we begin to hear on the level of our Soul. It is with this Soul hearing that I invite you now to journey....
