They say music is a science, yes! Pythagoras is considered to have created the theory of music by combining intervals and mathematical calculations to create notes for the major scale. But perhaps only Leonard Bernstein, in his famous Harvard speech, [ The Unanswered Question 1973 ] truly explained why and how. Through his explanation of the harmonic series, he demonstrated the scientific basis of music theory.
However, he also noted something profound:
"What we calculate and explain or try to explain through music theory of Pythagoras, only appreciators of Indian music can feel it, they can demonstrate any mood through their scales, which they call Raaga. And a Raaga is not just a scale; it's something more. If you can't appreciate or feel it, it will put you to sleep in a few minutes. "
After observing how a harmonic series and a conch shell are similar, I feel that this connection and our ancient understanding of music may lead to this deeper understanding. Our ancestors understood everything before the father of music theory, Pythagoras.
The only word that is coming to my mind after watching this picture is PANCHAJANYA.
“The highest goal of music is to connect one’s soul to their Divine Nature, not entertainment.”
— Pythagoras

Monasterio Sound Healing has been invited to participate in a Sacred Union of Love today. 🎵

Firstly, I just Love celebrating Love ❤️
Secondly, I’ve been preparing for days and all the warm juicy feelings flow through me with force and power.

Connecting people through the power of music and sound is one of my greatest joys in life. What an absolute honour it is for me to be part of such a special moment in time!

Doubtful I’ll make it through the first four beats in the bar without tears streaming down my face!

I’ll be sure to remain professional, but damn the pulse of the song touches every place in my heart!

Envoking daddy and Juliet’s rhythms on this ethereal day of LOVE!

I’ll be sure to share the music 🎶 tomorrow, for those that are curious to be heart-touched 🎶

There was a time when standing in front of a room of people would give me major anxiety. My voice would quiver, and the heart would pound loudly as I’d try to speak with confidence.

Over the past 6 years of facilating large group events, I have gotten more comfortable with being vulnerable and have learned to speak with purpose from the heart.

Yesterday, I walked into a room full of doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, scientists and other professional occupations with courage and focus. Strong and vibrant in presence, I felt proud of how far I have come.

The sound session was powerful and delivered an array of experience. Some people felt deep emotion, while others laid still in peace. A perfect spectrum of feeling.

After my offering, I was invited to stay for the graduation luncheon. I learned of so many fascinating humans, doing important work to bring healing ❤️‍🩹 to the people.

What a gift 🎁 it was for me to make these connections!
I am seriously excited to have branched into the University/Professional world and for the opportunity. The next chapter of Monasterio Sound Healing looks to be very expansive!

🥹Feeling especially Thankful today 🥹

Monasterio Sound Healing is thrilled to announce their newest festival offering and debut of workshop: “Experiencing Nitric Oxide at The Silent Disco”

This experiential workshop takes the participants through a sonic massage, created to enhance the healing effects of self-induced sounds, guided meditation and music that tantalizes the auditory experience.

Did you know that our bodies produce a powerful gas known as Nitric Oxide? Nitric oxide is the very root of keeping the human body free of many diseases. When we hum, higher amounts of nitric oxide is produced, meaning there are significant positive effects of our physiological bodies.

Combine humming with the auditory experience of the silent disco and be swept away in the sonic immersion. The experience will be memorable and everlasting!

Hope to see you at this family friendly event! Tickets 🎟️ can be purchased below. ⬇️ Pachena Bay is one of the most exquisite locations on Vancouver Island. 🏝️

I know some of my loves had been thinking about making the adventure down. I hope to see some of you there!

This interactive workshop is very close to my heart and I’m here to share it with those that are interested!

With intention, community, heart and sacred Sounds we absolutely are able to shift frequencies !

I like my transitions between instruments to be smooth. One way I do this is to keep my frame drum and rattle close by, so that when I am done with the more complicated rhythms of using two sticks on the Pow-Wow drum, I will invite the sound of rattle in and eventually the frame drum. I do this so that I may be able to walk around the room and share the vibrations over each body. Here is a series of photos that captures my process.

I’ll be at this beautiful location, Studio 108 on Thursday from 5-6. Consider joining us for a sacred session.

Death has been on my heart lots lately. A few people I care about are preparing for departure to the other realms. I love this quote….it’s so comforting.

This quote has been making the rounds, and we think everyone should read it.

In case you didn’t know…..this is your brain on Drumming. Try it out if you haven’t before. 🥁

Sound is Literally the Source of Life. Through the use of specific sound frequencies we heal from dis-ease and dis-harmony.

Such a great article about the History of the frame drum! This is by far my fav instrument. 💗The harmonics/overtones are so bright because the skin head is thin. It’s a beautiful sounding instrument.
