refers to the ability to consciously bring attention to sound waves for the purpose of creating present-moment awareness.


Sonic awareness can also be coupled with the term “Deep Listening” first introduced by Pauline Oliveros’. In this space of present-moment awareness activated by deep listening we align ourselves with nature and develop meaningful relationships with self, others, and the unified field intelligence, also known as the quantum field and simply referred to in ancient yoga terms as a seed syllable “OM”.


The benefit of this alignment with the natural world is that we will recognize our environment (outside world) with the awareness that it is part of us and co-created with us, therefore our respect for it is the same as self-respect.

In differentiation to mere hearing, this is a focused state of full body receptivity and allows a deeper contact and natural recognition of the single frequency and its qualities.
As this is a foundational practice in many contemplative traditions it needs patience, focus, and will while at the same time a purely receptive and relaxed poise of openness and the surprise of the ‘beginner’s mind

If the state of listening is deepening we come into a sympathetic resonance, swinging through our physical cells and energetic substances with the vibrations of the selected and specific frequency. This allows us to fully tune in, meet, identify, and become one with the qualities that are invoked by the vibrations, experiencing the possible impact on our physical, emotional, mental, and psychic whole system

In a spirit of free and contemplative inter-play and creative action and exchange, we can explore different nuances, tonal qualities, places, possibilities, and movements of the unique instruments both in their physical limitations and symbolic depth.

The fruit of the playful discovery and contemplative process wants to be a valuable and useful addition to one’s life and well-being. The experience of a new quality, a recognition of something inherently familiar, an emerging understanding, a sudden insight, an overall sense of a specific energy, and an exposure to an unknown life- or universal force can be shifting our attitude, open new horizons and have a positive, transforming impact on our lives. Only when we integrate experience consciously will we feel enriched, learning and growing, grateful for the gifts of creation

As we all have different ways, preferences, and constitutions of perceptions, cognitions, and reactions the process of absorption can be more tactile, proprioceptive, sensual, visual, graphic, chromatic, cognitive, imaginative, motoric, or even synaesthetic, involving multiple layers of sensory feedback. One can also switch between these channels of impressions and expressive responses to come eventually to a full embodied experience of the planetary frequencies and their multidimensional ‘stories
