I offer a chant that was sent to me inwardly many years ago:
Om Ram Yam
Guram Yam
Jai Ram Yam

” From the Heart comes the power of sound,
The Guru is in the Heart
Victory to the power in the Heart”

Peace -Joy to all,

I am a leader of Dances of Universal Peace in Sedona and Cottonwood, AZ. We sing songs and mantras from worldwide spiritual traditions, and create simple circle dances of symbolic movements to go with them. The dances create feelings of peace and unity with all people through sacred sound and gentle movement. There are Dances of Universal Peace dance circles all over the world. More information: http://www.dancesofuniversalpeace.org/

Our Sedona dance date is the 2nd Saturday of each month, which coincides beautifully with World Sound Healing Day! We will incorporate this into our Dance.

I have also notified about 100 people in my local area about this so far, and I will be including information about World Healing Day and links to the appropriate websites in my dance announcements sent to about 600 more people. And I will post it online at our Dances of Universal Peace blog.

Blessings to All,
Cathryn Tezha Swann

World Sound Healing Day is just profound. I am ever grateful to Jonathan for this beautiful time of tonal love dedicated to Gaia. Thank you, Jonathan, for this heart-centered day of sacred sound! And thanks to Andi and Alec!

I’ve had WSHD events in my home in the past and also in performance spaces such as the Synchronicity Center and Anjali Yoga Center in Tucson.

Several WSHD event ideas:
After founding Tucson Soundings, there were monthly and bi-monthly sound events for several years. On February 14, we would join with WSHD participants for this event at the Tucson Creative Living Center, a spectacular adobe and two story glass dance studio. One year we toned and played all crystal bowls, working with a variety of alchemy crystal bowls such as platinum, ruby, citrine and 24K Gold infused alchemy bowls from Crystal Tones. (I was their PR dir. at the time.) We toned with and without the bowls, enjoying the poignant silent interludes and thrill of exponentionally multiplied heart energies as we joined with participants worldwide. Sublime.

Tucson Soundings produced an event in 2008 with talented sound healer Darrell Hicks at the Tucson Creative Living Center high above the city lights. The setting is under the stars and surrounded by Sonoran Desert wildlife and giant cacti. Darrell, a graduate of the Healing Sounds Intensive and longtime multi-talented healing facilitator, composed a special song for the event. He shared it with Jonathan beforehand and he also brought his amethyst acoustic healing mat for all to experience during the event. This was a multi-layered sound event that that was profound as we joined the WSHD planetary bliss. The large group toned with several tracks from JG’s Chakra Chants CD, then joined in kirtan singing, toned AH, played crystal bowls and experienced an evening of great joy. Toning, creating your own music and coming together for eclectic group sounds is fantissimo. In addition, participants brought Valentines and wonderful food to share afterwards. I’m sure there are exciting ideas WSHD bloggers have that will be warmly received and produce exceptional gatherings! The Tucson events were advertised, emailed around and featured in local calendars/papers/electronic media and by word of mouth. That way, we continued to meet new people interested in sound.

It was delightful to create and experience a local event that was so much fun and where dedication to sound was revered and experienced..

Note: Darrell has a huge sonic platform at a ranch in Tucson. Dr. Andrew Weil, others and I have also experienced its multidimensional power. Darrell has worked with the medical community referrals for pre and post surgery sessions in Houston using this platform. He has also offered sessions at Canyon Ranch and for faculty at the U of AZ as well as individuals.

Sweet tones,

But, in any case, the Noon Eastern time toning is only one event over the course of the day. We encourage people to tone at Noon in their respective time zones in order to create a wave of Sound that will sweep the planet throughout the whole day, but even that schedule is flexible–Participants may also feel free to visit the toning chambers at http://www.templeofsacredsound.org at any time to contribute their voices, Sound, and energy to the day’s intention at a time of thier own choosing. Also many people organize their own toning groups in their local area at times that will work well for them.

Many thanks and blessing to you all. Let’s make this year’s WSHD the biggest and most succesful one yet!

I wanted to let you know that there will be a group meeting in Calgary, Alberta to tone for World Sound Healing Day on Feb. 14. We will be meeting at the Glamorgan Community Association in Southwest Calgary. This will be our 4th year joining you. We meet for 3 hours from 9 am to 12 noon in a ceremony of continuous toning for our beautiful Earth. Last year, we added a crystal bowl filled with water that was shared at the end of the ceremony. The remaining water was given to the Bow River.

Thank you and the co-creators of this important event.
