SOUND HEALING

Being interested in the healing application of music since 1966, he began to further explore this aspect in 1972 using his ever-growing large collection of Eastern sacred percussion instruments. In 1977 he began to unfurl his own particular form of sound healing (SPIRITUAL SOUND HEALING) which, in 1982 incorporated some of his Tibetan Singing bowls and, since 1984, has meant unfolding another one of his own unique and highly original methods of sound healing pioneering the exclusive use of a collection of almost 70 specially selected Tibetan Singing Bowls. His form of sound healing blends spiritual healing, spiritual colour healing, clairvoyance, intuition, and psychoacoustics whilst concentrating upon the Chakras using a special selection of ancient singing bowls that work upon the chakras.

Check out the three articles on SOUND HEALING.

He is also a director of several companies. In 1977 he founded his own Record company GOLDENHAWK PUBLICATIONS, which released five cassettes. In 1988 he founded his second Record company MOUNTAIN BELL MUSIC, which has released 6 cassettes, and 27 CDs. In 1983 he founded THE NEW FOREST NICHOLAS ROERICH GROUP – which now occasionally gives audio-visual presentations/lectures about the artist and related subjects plus selling postcards and reproductions of Roerich’s paintings (the reproductions mostly at public events). He is also an honorary member of THE BRITISH HARRY PARTCH SOCIETY and honorary member of THE SOUND RESEARCH GROUP. He is a member of IAST – International Association of Sound Therapy.
