Susan Lever

Healing with sound is very ancient. The Mystery Schools of Egypt, Greece and Rome understood that vibration is the fundamental active force in the universe and developed specific chants and tones for healing. Today’s techniques are based on these ancient traditions.

Every organ, bone, tissue and other part of the body has a healing frequency. Disease can be simply described as part of the body vibrating out of tune. Sound healing works through a process (known as ‘entrainment’) by which the whole body is restored to its natural healthy resonance.

Everyone has the ability to learn how to heal themselves and others through sound once their natural voice is released. In the workshop a number of techniques are used which help still the mind such as Toning, (the use of pure vowels). The pure sound brings us into a meditative state.

Overtoning is a technique originating from the traditions of Mongolia, Tuva and Tibetan Buddhist practices. Overtoning consciously accesses the beautiful, ethereal and haunting natural harmonic spectrum of the voice in its pure rainbow colours. It produces stillness and joyfulness in both chanter and listener.

In a group the collective sound weaves and blends into a magical experience of connection and harmony - words cannot describe the unbelievable beauty of it. Come and experience it for yourself.

About the Workshops

Susan has devised a series of workshops to enable people to work with their voices at different levels. All workshops are complete in themselves.

The workshop will include Chanting, Toning, Breathing Exercises, Gentle Movement, Improvisation, Stillness, Listening and Laughter.

A good introductory workshop. Suitable for singers and actors as well as non-singers. No previous experience necessary. All age groups welcome.
