Level 2 Curriculum
The Power of Sound Healing Level II, for graduates of our Level I, is based on key transmissions introduced in Level I. We will explore two key components of genuine sound healing: that Healing Begins With One’s Mind And Intention, and Everything Is The Vibrating Energy of Sound.
Mind and primordial sound constitue the basis of healing and take you back to your source. From there you will learn to travel the pathways to higher realms while leaving far behind old habitual patterns that are no longer of any use.
Level II is full immersion into the practices of sound and ceremony. We carefully set out a sacred environment that promotes basic health.Â
As we learned in Level I, Sound Healing is a vast and profound field of exploration. The special qualities of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls bring to life inspiration. This inspiration carries us on a special journey of wisdom and skillful means.
In Level II we will explore:
- The Intervals of Life: Our signature lesson which reveals how the 8 musical intervals activate the 8 transformative life experiences. Take your sound baths to a whole new level of subtle and effective healing.Â
- Overtone harmonics, universal resonance keys that open the space in the subtle body and beyond. From here emerge the wisdom of ancestral memories and cosmic messages.
- One of the most important elements of our minds and intentions: the cultivation of Bodhicitta, the awakened heart. Only with the heart of awakening can we travel the subtle pathways of sound to higher realms of pure love.
- The creation of the ambience which promotes the power of ceremony. The safety container is the set where we retreat together in group exploration. Group support is vital to our travels.
- The unique fundamental sound of your individual body/mind. Discover your key note to maximise personal healing. Level II is a gateway to finding our fundamental pitch.
- The beauty, power and subtleties of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls in group performances. Refining the artistry of bowl playing is key to effective sound healing.
- Numerous fascinating sound healing topics which might entice you to new areas of exploration. As we are each on our own unique journey, new topics will refresh our individual competencies.Â
- Listening. Tune in to healing sounds and expand them in your life. Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls fine tune us so that we atune to the vitalising healing sounds of nature.
- Music Theory. No sound healing training would be complete without music theory. Discover the fascinating synchronicity of theory and vibrational healing.
- Voice. Ancient world traditions have always used the singing voice. Voice resonates with alchemy crystal harmonics for powerful and effective healing. Vowels and consonants come together as sacred mantra. This empowers our whole being. With group support you leave behind shyness and use your voice to sing, thus expressing your true nature.
- Alchemical transformation. Alchemy crystal singing bowls are all about transmutation. With the knowledge acquired in Level II, your ordinary existence can be transformed into an island of gold.
- Deep relaxation to be yourself. You will work in a safe environment with the support of old and new friends. Your instructors are dedicated to working with you on this journey.
- The space between your thoughts and the space between the notes. These mix together for healing. The Power of Sound Healing Level II will move you beyond thought and word.
