welcome to Day 9 of our Sound Healing

Immersion online training

today we will explore the enchanting world of

other ancestral instruments

uncovering the history properties

and techniques for applying

their unique healing properties

we start today with exploring sansula and kalimba

captivating instruments

with origins rooted in Asian cultures

Kalimba is basically westernized

younger version of bira it was popularized in sixties

due to the success of the band Earth

Wind and fire these musicians included mbira on stage

accompanying modern rock instruments

such electric guitar and bass and drum kit and horns

their arrangements included numerous songs

directly drawn from traditional Bira repertoire

I don't know if you have known this

Mira is a family of musical instruments

traditional to the Shauna people of Zimbabwe

it consists of the wooden board

with attached taggered metal times

playing by holding the instrument in the hands

and plucking the times with times

it is an important instrument

played at religious ceremonies

weddings and other social gatherings

in eastern and southern Africa

there are so many kinds of mirror

often a combined but whole show a percussion instrument

as you see I have here a modern version of Mira

with integrated horshell

this instrument we call sansula

we play it similar escalimba

yet integrated drum give a great resonance

creating a Wawa effect

it amplifies the sound

so you can be heard better without using microphones

during your session

haha

the sansula and kalimba offer unique soundscapes

through the resonating metal keys

and enchanting melodies they create soothing tones

that can transport us into a state of deep relaxation

and inner peace as I said

playing the sansula or kalimba

involves plucking the metal keys

or times with your fingers

experiment with different rhythms

to create captivating melodies

you can end those instruments in any moment

during your sound healing session

depending on your main intention

or purpose of your sound healing session

now let's journey to the Asian roots of didgeridoo

an iconic Australian instrument known for its deep

resonant tones and cultural significance

traditionally the didgeridoo originates from indigenous

Aboriginal people in northern Australia

and it's made from eucalyptus wood

the term didgeridoo is onomatopaic origin

coined by British

Aboriginals refer to this instrument as G ducky

its origins date back more than 15th century

with evidence of didgeridoo players

depicted in cave paintings

the didgeridoo is a wind instrument

belonging to the trumpet family

to play it you can use your lips

and you need to know the circular breathing

which takes time to master

is this incredible instrument gained popularity

we discovered variations of the Jews

in different regions and traditions

for example in Mexico

there is the Mayan trumpet made from agavetry

they would select hollow trees

that had been eaten by termites

they discovered that the Hollywood vibrates

producing overtones that induce relaxation

trance or higher state of consciousness

similarly in Eastern Europe

traditional corns were used in a manner similar

to did you reduce across these cultures

the properties of this instrument on the human psychic

were recognized as it could alter the state of mind

not only for the listener

but also for the player

as I said before

playing the didgeridoo involves circular breathing

a technique where you maintain continuous air flow

while simultaneously inhaling through your nose

it's a complex technique you need to master

modern versions of didgeridoo

like those spiral drones

offered enhanced resonance and ease of playing

they are very convenient

if you travel with your instruments

as they don't occupy so much space

nowadays it can be difficult to fly

with the original did you reduce

so I really advocate for the modern spiral version

the sound of those ones

can also be very deep and powerful

as in the original didgeridoo

yet

if you plan to walk around people with your instrument

they won't provide as many powerful vibrations

sitting or walking

let's delve deeper into this aspect of sound healing

during your sessions

I'm pretty sure for most of your sessions

you will be comfortably seated

surrendered by your instruments

I normally sit against the wall

as I don't don't like to have people behind my back

and I place my instruments in a half moon arrangement

this guarantees me

comfortable access to all my instruments at any time

sometimes I start from the left

and move gradually to the right

and yes sometimes I play different types of instruments

simultaneously so

I wanna make sure I can access them

without breaking the sound

or making unnecessary and noisy movements

I also want to protect my spine

maybe starting your career as a sound healer

you still don't feel strained in your back but trust me

spending so many hours seated on my stage

within my 25 years as a sound healer

I found the most

optimal ways to play without unnecessary discomfort

so as I mentioned earlier

most of the session will likely be spent seated however

they will be moments when you can walk

with your instruments you can wear walk with didgeridoo

with flute

one bowl drum

small gong or the fierce while playing

you need to make sure though

you have enough space

and you don't disturb your participants journey

don't step on them or make sounds with your clothes etc

you don't touch or place instruments on participants

or apply any oils

if they prefer to stay in their own bubble

you don't play too loudly close to their ears

you don't abandon the whole group

for just one participant

if you play while walking around

make sure all participants can hear you

you can walk

while having another person help you on stage

by playing other instruments

if you use microphone

it will also help maintain the continuity of sound

while you walk personally

I think walking around

people provides a sense of closeness

also participants are happy

feeling they have received something extra

if you stay with them for a moment
