THE ART LOT INTERNET RADIO PROGRAMME

1. Toning the chakras. This will be done in four forms. Pure vowels, pure consonants, Tantra Yoga seeds and adapted Western seeds. These will be done on spontaneous tones, a collective tone and a particular scale. They will be sounded aloud, on the breath and finally, as in meditation, mentally.
   
2. Taoist Healing Sounds. These sounds and movements are directed at the principal organs of the body and are accompanied by specific movements.
   
3. Breathwork: Development of a technique that concentrates on the belly as the source of breath. Also other brief warm-up exercises.
   
4. Natural Sound rituals. Particular ritualistic ways of engaging in laughter, groaning, keening, humming and sighing.
   
5. Breath mantra and Chanting.
   
6. Collective Improvisation
   
7. Discovering your own fundamental tone.
   
8. Listening and resonating with tuning forks. These are both placed to the ears as pairs and also placed on the body singly. The forks are tuned purely to the overtone series.
   
9. Much of the work is accompanied by very simple movements and gestures.

Susan Elizabeth Hale - Author Sacred Space - Sacred Sound: The Acoustic Mysteries of Holy Places. Quest Books, July 2007. www.songkeeper.net

Susan Hale takes us on a spiritual autobiographical sound journey and re-enchants the world around us. She profoundly heightens our awareness of the natural processes and the creation of living forms through sound while easily supplying a wealth of knowledge of the sound phenomena and the history of the sacred sites. . She personally introduces us to significant figures in the field of sound research and music who offer their insights and wisdom. This is a deeply heartfelt sonic travelogue that presents us with familiar landscapes and great architectural spaces and transforms them into magical, enthralling temples of harmony. Like an intuitive acoustic archaelogist, Hale writes so totally from deep personal experience that we are brought into the living presence of the sacred spaces from around the world. Sacred Space Sacred Sound lends fresh meaning to the word "sacred" and is a glorious hymn to both the ecstasy and serenity to be found in great architectural spaces and Nature itself..
