The Spirit of Sound
Sound has, throughout the ages, been used to enhance, to heal,
to provoke, to invoke the Divine; to embrace, to embody, to realize
greater realities than are commonly perceived; to open doorways to
otherwise impenetrable states of consciousness. Spiritual cultures the
world over still practice such ages-old traditions, which are the
foundation of modern music and sound practices, from rock music to
gnostic chants, and aboriginal trance states.
In modern science, the intentional use of sound has been
shown to enhance
wellness through the use of coherent emotional states.
Adding guided imagery practices brings about even greater
states of well being as measure by science.
We shall explore the nature of coherence, and contemporary and ancient
sacred sound practices, coupling
this with meditative practices, used to bring about heightened states
of wellness, or awakened states of consciousness, by
modern practitioners, and traditional spiritual societies, such as
Tibetan Buddhist, or indigenous cultures.

A Physician's Sound Healing Journey
As a physician, I have never found a
more powerful and transforming healing modality than music and
sound. This workshop will use the sounds of metal
and quartz crystal singing bowls with guided meditation, imagery, and
chants,
to help you create a harmony within.
This harmony allows you to experience inner silence. Silence is
not, as commonly believed, the
absence of sound. Rather, it is like an
empty vessel that allows you to behold and connect with your own divine
essence, which is the source of healing
and well-being. These are the techniques
that have benefited thousands of my patients over the last 15 years,
and I am
happy to share them with you in this workshop.

The
Art and Science Of Sound Health
Dr. Beaulieu will teach the theory, art, and science
of sound healing and the clinical application of BioSonic tuning forks.
Topics
will include the science of wave phenomena, molecular sound
research,
stress theory, and energy medicine. During class special emphasis will
be given
to the relationship of modern stress science to ancient spiritual
principles.
Through an understanding of sound students will be able to make a
connection
between modern research and ancient spiritual practices.
As part of that connection each participant will
learn how to use tuning forks and vocal sounds for balancing the
autonomic
nervous system, inducing still points, and stimulating movements in
alignment
with the concept of a “primary organizing wave”. Each participant
will
learn practical sound healing skills that will easily integrate into
their life
and professional practice.
