INTRO to SHO course
Welcome to Amazing Lyfe and Hara Willow Healing – offering mindful, heart centred, shamanic sound healing work:
Including retreats, courses, workshops, one to one healing and community events.
Eight week Sound Healing Circle Course
This unique eight week course is a blend of Sound Yoga (no postures, just mindful voice work) Sound healing, Authentic Power Practice (google Gary Zukav and Seat of the Soul institute) and Shamanic Healing.
It has been shown that once we have secured our physical survival, i.e. shelter, warmth and food, there are other psycho-social needs that are essential to maintain mental health and wellbeing. These are 1) a sense of connection and belonging; 2) a sense of meaning and purpose; 3) a sense that you matter and have value; 4) a sense of agency, i.e. that you have some power over your life. Another aspect to wellbeing that makes a real difference to your happiness is being able to know and express your authentic self.
It is my intention and, I believe, the experience of people who attend the circle, that the course greatly improves the degree to which these psycho-social needs are met.
What the course offers…
This course will teach you to look at your self and your life from the perspective of the Native American Medicine Wheel in order to bring all the parts of you into harmony. The Medicine Wheel is a mandala, a circular map that represents different aspects of you and your life here and now. From that perspective we then share mindful sound healing tools from various wisdom traditions in order to empower you to make whatever changes will bring you balance, wholeness and inner peace. We do this work together safely, in the context of mutual support, compassion and acceptance.
At the start you will set an intention to create positive change in one or two patterns of thinking/feeling or behaving that you feel do not serve your wellbeing. For example; if you suffer from anxiety you will learn tools to transform that pattern.
Another aspect of the course that is really healing and transformational is that we work for the highest good of ourselves, each other and all of life. The sense of connection to each other, to the earth and to great spirit, (God, the goddess, Love or the source – whatever you relate to) has been shown to have profound effects on wellbeing. It enhances our sense of belonging and community and gives us a sense of relationship to the universe and our place in it.
Each week we focus on a different part of ourselves and share practices designed to work on that aspect. For example, in week two we look at tools for creating emotional balance and harmony. Combining yogic wisdom with authentic power practice (a spiritual psychology) and meditation, drumming, singing and occasionally dancing, each week we move our energy back into balance.
Practiced regularly this can be powerfully healing. Can you imagine how the blueprint of the oak tree is stored in the DNA within an acorn? Well our blueprint for a healthy self is in our DNA and expressed in our energy system. We can realign ourselves with that healthy blueprint using these tools. I have heard that we can even reprogram our DNA!
The course includes grounding, psychic protection, is great for spiritual and personal development, improving self knowledge and awareness and the sound healing tools allow the experience of deep peace even for those who struggle with meditation.
One of the best things about this course is that if you use the tools they will bring you into harmony with your soul and cosmic consciousness (the source or ground of being) from which we come and to which we return. This brings great peace and joy and releases fear. Which is just what we need to live an amazing life.
I am sharing these tools as I have personally found them invaluable in my own life and use them to maintain my own health and wellbeing. Without them I would be very ill. They do work.
Here are some testimonials from past participants…
Thank you for sending the notes for week five. As usual it was a fantastic, moving and thought provoking afternoon. I am enjoying the course so much. It resonated especially as the intention I set at the start of the course was to choose to move forward with trust and love and this was mentioned in the session in regard of shifting our being into into patterns aligned with love and trust. Amazing! I am loving this journey so much.
I have worked with your CD this afternoon and it was like having you in the room encouraging me and I really enjoyed and felt the benefit.
Thank you for sharing your love, knowledge and experience with us all. Glynis xxx

This is an excerpt from a book on Shamanic healing – by Christa Mackinnon and beautifully expresses how this type of healing is so powerful…..
“Healing holistically, working within all dimensions of the human experience enables the wisdom of the soul to enrich the limitations of the mind.”
“Adding the spiritual dimension to the Recovery (healing) process and working shamanically helps us to expand our consciousness to experience our soul, our connection with spirit, has being embedded part of the whole and as being whole ourselves.”
“Shamanic work also creates fields where participants of groups have a direct, intense, holistic experience that produces the desired connections, shifts and transformations for healing, recovery and personal and spiritual growth”.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
With love, light, peace and healing, Hara xxx
