Traumatized by "Sound Healing" that feels like New Age Faux Spiritual Misappropriation?
This conversation may be music to your ears.
In February I made a "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT" on my personal Facebook page, and hundreds of people who know me and my professional background well chimed in. The comments are GOLD, and I wanted to share the perspectives in a series of blog posts so you, dear reader, could benefit. Perhaps you'll even find community in like-minded souls?

Mantra Sound Bath: Top 10 Elements of Sound Healing with Mantra Meditation
For over a decade, when people ask me what I do, Iâve told them something like, âI teach mantra meditation and the yoga of sound and voice.â And people say, âOh, like sound healing and sound baths and stuff?â And my response is always, âSort of⌠let me explainâŚâ and then I distinguish my niche as a sound yoga pioneer within the global yoga community, and the depth of my training and practice in the tradition of nÄda yoga and Sanskrit mantra.
But the words sound healing and sound bath are (for better or worse) what stick in peopleâs minds and how they think of me. I gue...
Sound Healing for Anxiety & Depression

Sound Bath with Mantra, Raga and Nada Yoga! Now Online.
A friend of mine attended a live chant event I led last week, and gushed about how it felt like a sound bath to just listen to me singing, the bansuri flute playing, and hear the group singing along with the rÄgas and mantras.
Normally, I try to get people to DO THE PRACTICE with us, because I figure it's like food... you get more out of it when you chew it and swallow it yourself vs. watching someone else eat. That's why I have (stubbornly) stuck to empowering people looking to really train in mantra and nada yoga with skills, techniques, and practices.
While I know...
