Finding a deep sense of connection with ourselves and the wider world
Our emotions are the inner story of our lives. When strong enough, or without any processing, they can spill out into our relationships. When buried, they can quietly influence our thoughts, feelings and general sense of wellbeing in life.
Music has the power to help us find a sense of inner-peace and alignment with our thoughts and feelings. Singing offers ways to explore our inner landscape, connect us with a world beyond our thoughts and emotions and find a sense of wholeness. This feeling happens naturally - especially when singing in harmony with others - and leaves us with a deep sense of peace; feeling calm and at ease within ourselves.
“Singing in harmony gives me goosebumps, and brings such joy to my heart. Ruairi is so gifted at helping us to feel a connection both to ourselves and to everyone else around us, feeling appreciation and delight for what each person brings to the whole.”

Feeling those good vibrations
Did you know that the nature of the universe is vibrational! This is why sound - and music in particular - is so effective in attuning the mind, body, heart and soul. We are literally reminding our bodies how to resonate with the world around us. When a resonant chord is struck, it permeates our entire body with a feeling of completion and wholeness that ‘just makes sense’.
For thousands of years, spiritual practices have understood the profound effect that harmonic sound has on our wellbeing, whilst mathematicians and musicians have found awe in uncovering the harmonic structures of the planets and the wider cosmos we are all part of. When we find harmony within ourselves and the world around us, we are literally getting onto the same wavelength. This is why it sounds and feels so good.
Press play, close your eyes and lose yourself in these harmonic, healing sounds of a simple mantra.
Finding resonance through the voice
Singing can provide comfort and solace, helping us cope with challenges, settle the nervous system and find strength to soothe, nourish and nurture the inner well of our being.
Finding resonance through harmonies
When we bathe in harmony, we are attuning our entire being to something beyond itself: minds, hearts, bodies and souls all restoring balance and unity to a system out of alignment.
Finding resonance through mantras
The repetition of mantras help land us quickly into resonance. The outside world dissolves and we find ourselves bathed in something that feels quite pure and blissfully peaceful.
