World Sound Healing Day
SUNDAY 14TH FEBRUARY 2010
Sounding an "AH" for planetary peace!
Every year on the 14th February people throughout the planet join together at 12 noon to tone the heart sound "AH" for a minimum of 5 minutes with the intention of radiating love. People all over the world create a heart wave of sound that resonates around the planet.
World Sound Healing Day was begun in 2002 by Jonathan Goldman the founder of the US Sound Healers Association. Every year more people from more countries have joined in.

Argae Hall Event - Report by Gill Evans
Many people came together at Argae Hall to radiate loving energy for peace on earth, health and happiness to all. The day started at 8.30am setting up the hall and preparing the energy for the day.
It was the beginning of a wonderful day with a wide variety of stalls; crystals, books, aura photography, healing sessions being offered, wonderful hand made blankets and paintings. The stalls all added to the loving healing energy in the room.
Workshops
We had a fantastic number of people all eager to join in with the workshops that were offered throughout the day. People from near and far gathered together to generate love through sound and to experience it's amazing healing power.
The morning started with a Voice Workshop run by Gill Evans. This warmed everyone up for the day. Then at 12.00 noon we all took part in the World Sound Healing Meditation for healing for Mother Earth by toning the AH (heart sound) for five minutes.
The next item on the programme was a selection of Traditional Welsh Carols in three-part harmony, sung by local lads Hedd Evans, Guto Lewis, Ioan Evans, Ifan Bebb and Arwyn Tyisaf. We were also treated to two songs in four-part harmony by Arwyn Groe, Gill Evans, Brenda Davies, Glyn Jones.
Christopher Thorn then brought out his didgeridoo to give us some wonderful healing with its earthy sound. What a lovely workshop!
Mike Barron then gave us a sound healing demonstration. He showed how to heal with the use of the voice and tuning forks. He invited everybody who was watching to add their healing sounds to the healing that was given. Brian, who was the lucky person to be given the healing, slowly got up at the end and said, "Wow, that was lovely!"
Next was a Gong Bath with Simon Heather, with Mike on the drum and myself on the Tibetan bowl. By now everyone was well harmonised through all the workshops they had participated in.
It was lucky that we had a wonderful drumming workshop to bring us all back down to earth, run by Emma Kidd. Emma invited everybody to join in with the drums that they had brought along.
We finished the day with a chant and gave thanks to everyone.
We raised £560 for Hope House Hospice!
I would like to thank everyone who attended for your enthusiasm and loving energy and for your generous donations.
I would like to thank everyone who helped in the kitchen, always a very important job keeping us all fed and watered! Thank you!
I would like to thank June Meagher for doing the publicity, being in reception and lending her energy wherever it was needed. I would like to thank all those who ran the workshops; Simon, Mike, Chris, Emma, Gill, the boys who sang, and the quartet.
I would like to thank all the stall holders who came and supported us. Finally I would like to thank Alan Jeffreys for printing the signs.
Bless You All Keep Sounding!
Love Gill
