My intention for this soundscape is to offer a healing journey in movement to undergo a process of remolding, realigning and change. Metamorphosis is a journey of transformation. It calls for us to grow into a new state of being, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is an invitation to let in what is present, to let go of what no longer serves and to open to higher states of consciousness. The 5Rhythms® have been developed by Gabrielle Roth over a lifetime of study in dance, theatre and the healing arts. This practice creates the opportunity to find freedom of movement, states of heightened awareness, profound healing and the inspiration for living a creative and fulfilling life.
I created this WAVE for YogiTunes.com and global transformation.

Metamorphosis 5Rhythms® Wave

Sacrament

Communion

A heart journey with the all inclusive Jah.  Deep in the technocratic matrix we find a path of no distance back to our true nature in the remote wilderness of our internal solitude.  A vibrational sound experience created to support humans on their journey of life on earth.

While in a singing trance, my spirits and I conversed and communed with the Trask River Land.
Melt into the arms of the Mother.
Follow your heart to Her to receive nourishment

Songline Journey To Ceremonial Lands

A classically trained dancer, Gabriel Roth was involved with the early ’60’s counterculture movement as a dance instructor for therapeutic workshops at the legendary Esalen Institute in San Francisco and Arica School in New York. These facilities and groups played key roles in the Human Potential Movement in psychology which later led to Transpersonal Psychology and the New Age Movement.

Through direct encounters and training from the era’s noted psychologists, philosophers, anthropologists, and spiritual gurus, she single-handedly rediscovered and redefined the ancient shamanic technique of ecstatic dance, establishing a method she named 5Rhythms in the late 70’s.

The practice of 5Rhythms consists of five movements: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. Through this dance sequence difficulties and obstructions in life can be identified and ultimately overcome. The sequence of the rhythms helps create waves that allow the dancer to reach a point of inner stillness. It is a globally recognised movement meditation practice with over 400 qualified teachers in more than 50 countries. Though Gabrielle Roth passed away in 2012, her spirit and legacy have been passed down through her family and extensive followers. It is still being practiced today.

Music plays a key role in these workshops. Following the shamanic tradition of using live percussion as a driving force, the music is necessarily rhythmic in nature and repetitive enough to focus on self-movement without invasive melodies or lyrics to distract one’s mind. It must be fairly lengthy in duration, with the journey defined by the pulsing waves of emotional flow that guide the body’s movement. The music was not intended to be consumed while socialising, but as an aid to the internal journey into one’s soul. It is minimal, abstract, and atmospheric. As a result of these characteristics (or rather functionalities), their albums didn’t fit into any conventional styles at the time of their release in the early 80s. Theirs is a pure form of dance music that also shares many commonalities with ambient music in the modern context. Yet ambient music had yet to establish itself as a genre at the time despite the early efforts of Brian Eno while underground dance - the genre with which it shares many of its stylistic qualities - was yet to be born. Their releases were rarely appreciated outside of workshops.

Between 1982 and 2008, Gabrielle and her husband Robert Ansell produced 16 original albums as Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors. Robert brought together some of the best studio musicians that New York had to offer while his son Scott - who later became a Grammy-winning sound engineer - recorded and mixed all of their crystal clear productions.

Endless Waves Volume One was originally released on their own private label in 1996 on CD. Comprised of a selection of their past recordings, the first part acts as a seductive entry point into their rhythmic sound world, with Roth’s voice intoning gentle instructions over each track. The opener Body Parts commences with a series of rolling polyrhythmic beats to prepare the body for meditation. From there the music shifts through a series of ambient moods that evoke each of the ‘5Rhythm’ states of being. Atmospheric synths and stately violins combine to help ease into movement on Flowing. Didgeridoos and funky bass lines evoke masculine energy on Staccato before the tumbling rhythms of Chaos encourage the uninhibited release of one’s mind and body. The soft vocal harmonies of Lyrical help the listener towards a lighter, more fluid, and creative state of being creating a becalming state that continues with the deep ritualistic chants and languid drums of Stillness.
The second part of the album consists of a non-guided version of the same journey. Freshly recorded for the album’s release in 1996, the band deliver up an equally vital series of brilliantly realised rhythmic excursions.

My goal is to offer upliftment, nourishment, support for the soul. To offer solace, peace, and grace where needed. To provide shamanic sound effects for carrying people into Non-ordinary reality for potent transformative moments. May these moments ripple out into our world, creating sustainable change. Yes, I believe in dreaming big! We all need some sound tracks for various parts of our lives. Please enjoy.

As a seasoned shamanic practitioner, sound healer, ceremonial singer, I am committed to bringing sound more deliberately into shamanism (as was its original traditions), and bringing shamanism more potently into sound healing. For inner transformation and healing that creates these in our outer world. Visit me at shamanicsoundhealing.com to learn more, to do some one-on-on work (via zoom right now). Be well, stay safe and strong (okay, we will weep a little together, too), and take time to nourish and tend your soul.
