Jeffrey’s wonderful conversation with musician and performer Chris James, who throughout his diverse life has has been a musician, renunciate, bodyguard, transpersonal therapist and father.
As a pioneer of voice and sound work, Chris is the founder of the International School of Sacred Sound and of the Sound Foundation, a UK based charity that provides funding for innovative sound teachers. Teacher Training Program’s are conducted in the UK, Europe,and Australia.
Dedicating his life’s work to bringing a greater awareness to all aspects of the human experience, Chris’s music reflects this understanding and is used around the world to facilitate the process of birth, daily living and dying.
Chris’ work is also implemented and his music played in prenatal courses, birthing suites, during doctor’s surgeries, in hospital emergency wards and hospices, as well as complimentary medical clinics. Individuals throughout the world use his work and music to assist them in meditation and creating a clear home and work environment, bringing greater harmony within family and daily life.
A dynamic international performer, singer and composer, He is able to move through an incredible vocal range from gentle pure tones into rich and strong vocals.
Chris feels that “Everyone is born with a beautiful voice,†and can teach anyone to sing in tune, and to experience the healing power of sound. This ranges from the wonderful and uplifting effect of simply singing, perhaps for the first time since one was a child, to the profound inner experience of tone on our central nervous system, bringing a cellular level of healing that is experienced by all.
Born in Australia, 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.
Chris has led singing at concerts, festivals and seminars, and has taught internationally for over 20 years. He is renowned for his ability to unite audiences of thousands as well as facilitate intimate groups.
As Chris says,
“Sound holds no social, economic or language barriers. Everybody comes together to sing with pure delight, when fear of self expression goes, joy naturally takes its place”.
I think you will truly enjoy my conversation with Chris as we explore the many aspects of music and sound and how they can personally awaken you to a greater appreciation of the the divine in all things and open your imagination to a deeper sense of the experience we have every day in life.
