Instruments

Over the years I have acquired many sound healing tools. I began with a collection of hand drums, wind chimes, cymbals, shakers, etc. from being a percussionist, before I even began to explore sound healing. My first venture into purchasing instruments for sacred sound was six Tibetan Singing Bowls. Of these, two produce lots of overtones so they are good to use for harmony and four produce single tones so they are good for melody. At a sound healing conference a couple of years ago, I purchased an Otto 128 tuning fork, a frame drum and a friction mallet to go with it, and a crystal practitioner bowl. Not too long ago I bought Tingshas that work nicely with my Tibetan Bowls. My Most recent purchases are the Solar Harmonic Spectrum tuning forks, Fibonacci tuning forks and Brain Tuners, all from BioSonics.com. In addition to all these toys, I use my voice to do toning, mostly based on Jonathan Goldman’s Chakra/Vowel association, and also to chant mantras. I utilize any number of these in individual sessions, group meditation, demonstrations and recordings.
