SILENCE SPEAKS ~ A Sound Healing Meditation Concert
Silence has been considered by many mystics throughout the ages as being the loudest instruction and the purest teaching, because it is an uncontaminated language unobstructed by words. Through the weaving together of sound and silence, the hidden harmony of the beyond invites us within, beyond words, beyond reason, beyond logic, beyond mind ... into the timeless realm of being.
“Mouna [silence] is the best and most potent diksha... Initiation by touch, look, etc, are all of a lower order. Silent initiation changes the hearts of all. Mouna diksha is the most perfect; it comprises looking, touching and teaching. It will purify the individual in every way and establish him in the reality.” - Sri Ramana Maharshi
“According to the thinkers of the East, there are five different intoxications: of beauty, youth and strength; then the intoxication of wealth; the third is power, command, the power of ruling; and there is the fourth intoxication, which is the intoxication of learning, of knowledge. But all these four intoxications fade away just like stars before the sun in the presence of the intoxication of music. The reason is that it touches that deepest part of man’s being. Music reaches farther than any other impression from the external world can reach. And the beauty of music is that it is both the source of creation and the means of absorbing it. In other words, by music was the world created, and by music it is withdrawn again into the source which has created it.” - Hazrat Inayat Khan
"SILENCE SPEAKS" is a meditative and healing experience, utilizing the harmonics and resonance of Himalayan Singing Bowls, combined with breath awareness. It has been found that among the wave patterns of different singing bowls, there is a measurable wave pattern which is equivalent to the alpha waves produced by the brain. The singing bowls instill a sense of deep relaxation and inner space opening up. Their mesmerizing sounds carry great power and effectively STOP the mind’s internal dialogue. In so doing, they induce a dynamic centering meditation. The weaving of their individual vibrational sounds create overtones that balance the brain and soothe the soul. The singing bowls provide a powerful alchemy for reducing stress and reintegrating heart, mind and body.

"I have been to several of Shivallah’s bowl meditations now, and the bowls always seem to affect me in a different way. Sometimes they put me in a state of bliss, at other times I can feel energy blocks gently and subtly being released. Shivallah’s gift of sensing what a group or a person needs, and to let Source move through him is precious." - Deva/Mother (Big Island, Hawaii)
"Shivallah is a truly gifted musician and healer who brings a sensitivity and vulnerability to his exquisitely refined and beautiful Himalayan bowl playing that is profoundly healing. In my experience his sound meditation concerts are invitations into mystical sound streams and cosmic matrices that facilitate and support self-healing, creativity, harmony and wholeness. His presence and his embodiment of oneness expressed through his music is a transformer and facilitator for oneness, within and without." - Satya Deborah Kirsch / Somatic, Wellness and Spiritual Facilitator. Authorized Teacher of Continuum Movement. (Los Angeles, CA)

MYSTIC PRAYER ~ Communion with Spirit
Mystic Prayer is the majestic art of being in communion with spirit ... It is the 'higher taste' of being drunk with the divine, bodily and heartfully. It has nothing to do with words through affirmations, requests, pleading or begging as many of the traditional religions have conditioned humanity to believe in. It has, however, been associated with the middle eastern approach of the 'Sufi' path, for their methodology has been and is through diving deeply into the "Way of the Heart". The Way of the Heart is an invitation from the mystery of love to be in silent communion with the divine, absorbed within the depths of the heart, beyond the habitual activity of the conditioned mind.
The realm of Mystic Prayer awakens as we enter the deepest longing of the heart ... No key is needed for there is no lock ... Single-pointed devotion to 'being' in love, gives us the vision to remember what we long for the most. Absorption of our attention within the subtlety of presence in a delicate heartfelt manner, prepares us for the journey into "The Majestic Art of Mystic Prayer".
Mystic Prayer is a real dimension of spontaneous celebration that can arise out of communion with the Presence of the Divine through the Spirit of Love. In one sense, it cannot really be taught, but only caught. For some it may express itself through dance movement ... for others ... an inner dance of stillness, silence and ecstatic joy which often expresses itself through tears of gratitude, blissful laughter or simply a deep reverent quietness. What will be common to all, however, is the overwhelming "awe" that is experienced as one comes into the recognition and remembrance of the mystic dimension of Love. Free from the constraints of religious beliefs, spiritual ideologies and metaphysical concepts; Free from the veil of ego and personality.
"Something opens our wings.
Something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us. We taste only emptiness.
Essence is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to loving.
Everything else ... disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants."
~ Jalluludin Rumi ~

SPIRIT OF ONENESS ~ Mystic Circle Gathering
A gathering of Lightworkers, Healers, Meditators and Lovers of the Earth. Gathering together with a heartfelt motive of selfless service for our beloved earth. Through the harmony of our unified energy field we will provide an overflowing radiance of light, as a peace offering to the world. We will be working together with the use of Sacred Geometry principles, Harmonic Sounds and Silent Meditation. This gathering is an invitation to BE together as One Human Family in the "Spirit of Oneness" as we align with the Universal Law of Interdependence through the Group Work.
This gathering is also an opportunity to address the desire for healing and transformation through the direct experiencing of Divine Grace. The Grace that arises from the core of our Inner Divinity, when we take the action to "Let Go and Let God". It has nothing to do with being dependent upon the grace of any so-called Guru figure as such. It is an invitation to consider the possibility that the return to wholeness begins through personal effort, yet inner transformation ultimately happens through the power of Divine Grace. There is ‘doing’ in order to ‘control’ ... to ‘get’ ... to ‘become’ and then there is ‘being’, inviting us to ‘let go’ ... to ‘receive’ ... to ‘be’.
Just how much do we really have control over our life when it comes to the ‘inner science of transformation’? And what is the meaning of transformation anyway? What is Grace? How does it come about?
Returning to the Lightness of Being ... Letting go of Time and Mind,
Bathing in Love and Gratitude ... Absolutely Here Now,
We Celebrate the Grace of Consciousness

LIFE COACHING:
We begin our life being coached by our parents from the time we first learn to speak and then when learning to walk and so on. Throughout our early years of schooling and academic studies, in sports and athletics, we learn of the benefits of being coached by teachers and mentors during our performance. Eventually, we assume we have been prepared and equipped for entering the streets of the world to meet its trials and tribulations. By the time we are adults, however, we have been conditioned with parental habits, educational programming and religious or moral beliefs.
Then, as we become absorbed by goal-oriented thinking and survival concerns, we lose touch with the essence of our authentic being. Repressions, inhibitions and defenses inevitably surface, contributing to the development of the false self and distracting us from actualizing our potentiality. Recognizing the calamity of being lost in the world of falseness, possessed by thoughts and emotions, we then enter the dilemma of seeking freedom from within our prison. Whether looking for relief through entertainment, mind-altering substances, religious repentance, spiritual practices or liberation through the grace of a "guru" ... seeking a quick fix and fixating on our dilemma remains our preoccupation.
This is where the advantage of a "Life Coach" (functioning as a spiritual brother or sister, a guide, a mentor) reminds us that life is a game. But this time it is not about "winning" ... it is about "remembering" who we are and what we are here for. To succeed in this game, the concept of "will-power and achievement" will need to be replaced by the "willingness to let go and an acceptance of what is". Yes, it does sound illogical and contrary to our schooling and conditioning, yet these attributes are an existential requirement for really being "here" and living "now" … consciously and joyfully!
