Over the course of 9 days at the Healing Sounds Intensive, I fell 3 times, spilled water on myself and dropped things. My body was being vibrated out of its old structure and into something entirely new. Unsure what, I watched the process unfold. After 6 days of toning, chanting, learning, dancing and meditating, my mind relaxed its control, allowing my body to expand where it needed. On the seventh day, we had the chance to blow Peruvian Whistling Vessels, which are pre-Colombian clay vessels from South America that look like birds. They were used in ancient times to alter states of consciousness.
Seven of these vessels, all tuned slightly differently, were blown at the same time. The effect was instantaneous. A high-pitched, native whistling sound with a multitude of harmonics completely enveloped my head. It was so loud that I could hear nothing but the all-encompassing sound. We blew the vessel for four minutes, then listened to the other groups.
When I was blowing, I felt the channel between my ears completely clean out and a funnel opened down into my head through the roof of my mouth. Afterwards, sitting in the sound of the next group, my head felt like one whole room with no furniture. The wall between my large left brain parlor (logical, linear, mind-centered) and the smaller right brain parlor (holistic, intuitive, heart-centered) had dissolved. So had all of the former furniture. It has been unified ever since. New furniture and decorations will emerge, but for now I am leaving it empty so I can revel in my whole self.
Shine On!
