‘Everyone is born with a beautiful voice
The simple truths of life never change’
Australian born Chris James is a soundmaster, musician, singer and healer whose music and voice opens up all those who listen to a world of unlimited potential, and offers a way for all walks of life to experience inner connection through the power of sound.
Chris teaches internationally about the healing power of sound, song and meditation. Through discovering our natural voice, we learn that we can experience and trust our creativity and intuition. This frees us to be able to perceive and express clearly.
Taking sound to everyone
In addition to teaching internationally Chris has started The Sound Foundation to increase public awareness about the therapeutic benefits of music and singing in protecting and promoting both mental and physical health. The power of sound has been known to man for thousands of years and many people instinctively feel a deep connection with music, opening themselves up to its ability to alter mood and touch the soul.
According to Chris, ‘Everyone is born with a beautiful voice but after years of stress and life's struggles they forget how to use it and frequently claim that they cannot sing. Anyone who can speak can sing too, and it is only their inhibitions that prevent them from discovering their own beautiful voice.'
Discovering their voice frequently leads people towards change, greater happiness and empowerment. It also brings harmony into their lives and the aim of the Foundation is to enable more and more people to experience this personal harmony and eventually bring about a global shift that leads to world peace.
Sound Foundation projects
The Sound Foundation has already provided funds for several projects in the UK to enable more people to experience the healing power of sound. Grants are available to graduates of The International Association of Graduates of the School of Sacred Sound (INGOTS).
Working with children at Collingwood College - a comprehensive school for children of 11 to 18 which has almost 400 special needs students. Ingot Sharon Galliford is working in conjunction with the Head of the Special Needs department to run sound therapy sessions in the autumn term. Funding from The Sound Foundation is making it possible for those running the sessions to receive a modest sum and for the purchase of much-needed instruments which will also be made available to people outside the school.
Heart Sound Camps in Wales is a residential sound healing camp in Brecon run by Ariana Ray. It took place in August 2006 and focused on voice and sound healing. Funding was provided to help with the start - up costs including buying essential tools, wood and equipment and it is hoped that the camp will be run as an ongoing concern.
Empowering Ghanaian women: Jaochim Zonneveld is Chairman of the Dutch NGO, Ghana Support, and is running workshops in Ghana to empower the women which include breathing exercises and singing which they find very healing. The award from the Sound Foundation is to help fund the running of at least three workshops, while Jaochim pays his own expenses.
