ABOUT THE HEART IS AWAKE

The HEART is AWAKE is a sonic expression inspired through Shingetsu Billy White, internationally acclaimed singer and musician and long-time practitioner of Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, yoga, non-duality, and various shamanic traditions. Using the voice to produce overtone harmonics, sometimes known as “overtone singing” or “throat singing,” as well as instruments such as Tibetan and crystal bowls, tanpura, harmonium, flutes, didgeridoo, tuning forks, percussion, and many others, the listener is invited into deep relaxation and release, dissolving the thinking mind and resting in expanded awareness.
