SVAHA is a term in Sanskrit, used in sacred text, song and chant in both the Yogic and Buddhist traditions to exclaim, "Hail!" and "So Be it!". It is the beginning *and* the end... both the *entry way to* and *leaving of* the portal of Life and its lessons... initiating, holding and sending forth and everything in between... in Love
At SVAHA, we are a collective tribe of Musicians, Artists and Healers dedicated to awakening, activating and bringing forth the vibration of Love and Balance upon this planet, within and for All Beings, through ancient and ever-evolving technologies of Sound, Light, Color, Crystal, Intention, Breath, Sacred Geometry, and Seasonal and Planetary Cycles.
We work collectively to set the conditions to facilitate the body/ mind's innate healing abilities; when people relax and breathe fully, blockages fall away and the *inner* healer can take over, leading to greater awareness, clarity and wellbeing, for the individual ... and resonating out this higher frequency to the world at large!
At the center of our Sound Vision Alchemy are the transcendent tones of the healing Gong, supported by the voice, sruti box, bells, chimes, bowls, intention, lights, crystals, and essential oils.Many who have experienced a SVAHA healing session have said that it feels like they "travel to the depths of outer space" and then "come back *in*, renewed and refreshed", and feeling *in tune* with their inner purpose, more clear and strong and ready to give *their* gifts and do their work in *this* world!
The experience on the starship SVAHA may be likened to immersing your cells in a cosmic bath of unconditional love where day to day stresses are dissolved and uncreated, and the higher-self emerges and is realized! Deep states of meditation can easily be achieved by riding with us to the center of the Uni-Verse inside yourself. Welcome aboard!
