when we entered the healing room. I was like "Ohh,Wow!!" How many gongs are in the room?!
Around 13 gongs or so...only in this room. some others in the main house too!!
She's got all the planetary gongs manufactured by Paiste. These are the gongs attuned to the frequency of all the planets in our solar system and we are gonna immerse ourselves into the ocean of those vibrations.
This is the other healing room in the main house. Her correction of planetary tuning forks and other sound healing tools such as Tibetan Singing Bowls, Planetary Hand Chimes... They also are very powerful healing tools
There are 8 people including me and Noriko. It seems small group but I felt it just fits the size of the place.
Amazingly there was 5 men out of 8 students. That was the most ratio of man in any healing class or event I have ever attended.
Even Ron and Theresa were amazed and praised how amazing this is, since woman usually occupy the most places in healing classes.
In the level One, We have learned the usage of middle frequency tuning forks that attuned to the vibration of The Sun, The Moon and The Earth
In Level 2, The High and also The Low frequency of these tuning forks will be added.
My understanding of the difference between these tuning forks is that: The low freq tuning forks has immersing and penetrating vibration that goes deeply into physical realm,
while the high freq tuning forks brings its vibe to the energy field outside of the body.
So if I was to have a session for a client, I would use the lower ones for physical oriented issue, and the high forks for cleansing and balancing emotional, mental, spiritual issue...
that I will discover more by using the muscle testing technique.
There was some protocols introduced in the class. (these are the process to work on for a specific type of balance) and we discussed which tools are necessary or best for certain conditions.
The basis of Acutonics is to apply the tuning forks of the solar system onto acupuncture points. Think of these points as a push button for access to all body systems, and the energy systems outside as well.
We bring balance, open, nurture and activate these imbalanced and stuck points with the tuning forks.
I think how we choose tuning forks and which point to apply it to are dependant on a therapist's sensibility and experience,
But we need to take a step to learn the basics here in the class in order to lay a strong foundation so we can be more creative and inspirational.
The Acutonics system has a deep relation with eastern medicine, eastern philosophy and spirituality so they often mention Five elements or I-Ching,,, this is interesting.
Their wisdom was way ahead of our time. Ancient people always know much better than us.
Then we learned more about before and after the collapse of Atlantis.
we learn some things regular schools don't teach.
The Acutonics also teaches the concept of shamanism. I see that in ancient times sound was used for many purposes such as…
creating altered states of consciousness,
Purification,
Prayer
Prayer for rain, harvest
Purifying a soul,
Retrieval of a soul,
Helping a soul transition to the other side
etc…
The shaman are the people who use the sound as such tools.
.........................
The class was in the midst of clear energy that this place creates. I felt time goes by slowly and sleepily.
I could't concentrate on the class some of the time. I had a same feeling when I was in Hawaii,
I think it has something to do with the collective energy and the energy of this place, that clear energy creates some purification process or even detox in our energy field.
This day, the weather was so nice and with sunny skies so we went outside to see Ron's demo session and do our practice.
Two lab dogs also joined our class. They are our guardian angels.
And then the level 3 begin. There's 5 people in the class because 3 of the students didn’t take Level 3.
It created a more close, intimate energy. This class introduced the planets in our solar system.
In addition to what we already know: The Sun, The Moon, The Earth…we got Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron…all together.
And you may wonder what the heck the planets have to do with healing?
It's because the planets are interacting each other as well as affecting human life.
For instance, the moon has a lot to do with our emotion, thus subconsciously some emotional issue may rise up along the moon phase.
Each and every planet has its quality, and we can utilize these qualities by attuning with them.
This is gonna be fun.
I have loved the story of the constellations and planets since I was a child.
We listened to the story of the Greek Myth that related to each planet.
I feel the importance of these myths is that these stories nourish our creativity by connecting with the planets along with the stories, and even attuning our vibration with the planets.
I've heard that before WWII, the Japanese people were studying God's myth of Shinto, the story of Amaterasu in school
and I heard someone say the reason why Japanese people lost their soul is because they stopped teaching it in the school so they don't know who they are, they've forgotten their root spirit.
And I agree with it.
So I thought learning a myth is such a wonderful idea to bring the spirit back within us.
On the second day. Ron came up with a plan that was not part of the regular class.
So that would be a special day.
He wanted all of us to express our personal relationship with sound.
It started from Ron's story. and then he asked each of us one by one to talk about our experience.
Everyone had their own story of their relationship with sound and expressing and sharing with their instruments or voices.
On my turn I explained things like;
“I started to play Native American Flute since I had a trip to Arizona and New Mexico in 2008,
When I visited Taos, by the Rio Grande gorge bridge, I heard the sound of native american flute that fascinated my soul and walked to the direction of the sound.
I found a man was playing music with an audio player.
He said he’s the one playing the flute in the CD, so I bought a couple of his CD’s and I was listening to them during that trip.
I felt that it was a calling,
it got me into the sound healing and shamanism.
Since then, I dedicated my sound to a spirit of land and The Mother Earth to connect with nature and spirit.
These places were the sacred places or so called power spots, such as Sedona, Wupatki National Monument, The Hopi Prophecy Stone, The Mayan Ruins in the Yucatan, Machu Pichu, Mount Shasta, Hawaiian Heiau and Volcano, etc... “
I shared the space of sound by playing Tingsha, Caxixi, Seedpod, Native American Flute and Guitar.
Now it was Noriko's turn.
She told the story how she started to sing. She never wanted to become a singer, she was a Keyboardist and composer,
but in '95, a producer she worked with for her project encouraged her to sing. The first gig the producer booked for “Norico” was performing at The Blue Note Jazz Club in New York… just one month before she decided to sing and train.
Soon after that, the second gig was for the charity concert aiding Kobe's earthquake refugees. She performed her singing in front of 5000 people
and these two experience got Norico traumatized to sing.
And then she met me in the next year and we started making music and fell in love together.
We made an album together as "Solaris".
So she sang her old song titled “Sand Island” from the album”Sand Island” the song that has lyrics that portray the creator and the illusion of the world.
It's been such a long time since the last time she sang in front of an audience. She has been so busy dedicating her energy towards healing,
but she told us she has desire to sing again and will make more music. so let's see what's going to happen.
Now all of us performed and share our talents and the gifts through the sound.
Ron was impressed and moved with tears in his eyes for everybody expressing their sound from their heart.
Learning the planets was such a great opportunity and fun. we took sufficient time for each planet.
This was the process to align with and be familiar with each planet's vibration.
Ron and Theresa talked about the energy and characteristics of each planet and gave the Greek myth for each one.
Then for each planet we would move to the healing room for the alignment with the music and the gong.
Ron plays a music piece from “The Planets” composed by Gustav Holst. This orchestral suite is very famous but I have only heard Jupiter before.
It was interesting to grab the composers intention and see how he interpreting each planet while we listened to the music.
After the music, Ron described the planet's character to remind us and connect with its energy. It was easy for us to connect with the planet as Theresa started to play The Planetary Gong.
The Gong's big swelling wave of sound would wrap around people in that room creating many layers of over tone.
Theresa's Gong play was perfect so we could immerse deeply with the bath of sound. I was almost in a transe state.
The planet Jupiter on his t-shirt!! You'll be reminded the vibration of Jupiter at any time. I want it too!!
I had an sense of intimacy and closeness or something with Theresa. It was a really short time but we had a good time to “Chill Out' and talk at the couch in the lanai.
I have always wanted to collect as many sound tools as Theresa has. She has done many concerts and sound healing events with her gongs, like I have done some sound healing events with many sound tools.
We have some mutual feelings and experiences.
I guess we were a fellow in a group of Native American Tribe in a past life. Maybe we were having a ceremony together....
I want to see her again.
Noriko also had a feeling of connection with Theresa in a past life.
So Noriko had a sense that she can't help caring for her.
So here is the photo of Ron, Theresa, me and Ollie the dog taken by Noriko just before we leave here.
Ron was always watching over Theresa and us that made us feel assured in the group.
I felt his big presence support us in the middle of the group, and I admired the way of his being that I thought he's just like Jupiter.
Ron asked me and Noriko.
“Where was the best place in your Canada trip?'
We both answered ‘Theresa's place”
I love the beauty of mountains and lakes in Banff, The drive surrounded by Canadian Rockies,,, they are all impressive,,, but the most blessing things was to feel the experience we had with people we met, Two dogs, and the class.
so I want to come back there again,,,
to see the Kootenay lake, Forest, the charming house with two lab dogs, a morning coffee Theresa makes, the plants, herbs and Theresa.
Just before we head back to Calgary, we planned to meet and talk with Ron in Canmore while having dinner so we could discuss about our plan for the class in Hawaii next year.
It took about six hours to get to Canmore from Kootenay Bay, but I felt much easier then when we came from Canmore to Ainsworth Hot Spring using a different route.
We followed this vehicle plate that Ron's car has. It was such a peace of mind and security to follow MERKABA
Canmore was the first place we stayed when we came to Canada. and we went into the restaurant we have come before and talked about the class we just had and the plans for next year.
It was so good to visit Canada and take the class. that have set a fire on us to motivate for hosting The Acutonics class event in Hawaii in March next year.
I said that to Ron, and he looks happy.
and I want Erin to come to Hawaii as our teacher.
Everybody agreed with that.
I know it's going be a great experience for everybody whoever might be involved.
It was a big harvest to have such belief and confidence by visiting Canada.
It was so smooth on our way back home to Brooklyn that's totally different reality we created then when we came to Canada with an exhausting experience.
I started using the planetary tuning forks as soon as I returned and I haven’t stopped.
Since I have muscle testing skill, the planet chart makes it easy and precise to choose which tuning forks to use in a certain condition, and it's a lot of fun discovering a new things as I just started to dig into a new frontier.
I am now living with the power of the solar system. That makes my consciousness expand in my life as I gain knowledge with such great wisdom.
I feel a great gratitude to have experienced this opportunity.
Thank you Ron and Theresa and All the class mates and Canada for creating this reality.
May the planets be with you!!
Love and Hugs from
Osamu
Lastly I'd like to share the sound clip I and Noriko created. The guitar I played and improvised was recorded in the cottage surrounded by the jungle and the birds in The Big Island, overdubbed Noriko's Voice with the sound of the rain stick.
