Fri July 13 Concert
TOPIC 3. The Art and Skill of Over-Toning, Mantra and Shruti Singing.
Shruti Songs are like lullabies of gong land that bring the adult back to child again. Here in the gong dream body all possible outcomes are still in solution; all subconscious decisions are malleable or alterable. Without doubt it is the tone of the voice that is the carrier wave of healing.
SHRUTI SINGING AND THE GLOBAL GONG MANTRA SUTRA
| This is an opportunity for those who play the gong and perform in public to evolve the power of the voice, but it is also for all Harmony attendees who are feeling blocked and wish to find vocal freedom. The flowering of the 5th Chakra in the Throat is waiting to happen in all humans. This Etheric Center has been suffocated, suppressed, and restricted by negative (perhaps well-meaning) influence of others in a person's life. This lid of invalidation must be de-materialized and the beautiful bird of the soul song that is given to each as a birth rite must be freed. Musical Moksha, or Liberation means flying into the joyful light blue skies of the Akasha on the wings of soul song. This 'freeing' is the need. The Shruti is the remedy that reveals the one voice. |

SINGING IN GLOSSALIA/NON-SEMANTIC VOICE, AND OVERTONING.
