My first experience of the Tibetan deep voice occurred in 1989 when I walked into a store and heard the sound that changed my life.

It was the Gyuto monks. I left the store with a tape and listened incessantly. In the years that followed I began my own exploration of toning and mantras, started holding meditation circles in my home.

In late 1999, I attended one of your weekend workshops, and while you did not “teach” the Tibetan deep voice, You demonstrated it and stated that “some people will get this after being around someone who does it”.

In that instant I knew I would get it.

24 hours later, I Did!
I even called and left a deep voice OM on your voice mail.

Since that time I have been giving public sound healing journeys in the US and Canada, joined a throat singing ensemble in Vancouver BC, and released my first solo sound healing album.

One experience that stands out: In 2009 while teaching vocal harmonics to a small class in Bellingham Washington, 2 of the female students succeeded at producing the “Kagyraa” sound.

One of them was a native Alaskan woman who was seeking to reconnect with her people’s own tradition of throat singing.

There’s no place like OM!

I look forward to your future post on Nuevo European Vocal Harmonics.

Love and harmony
