This
association was founded in 1998 by Michêle Averard and Nestor Kornblum,
in order to establish standards
in the practice of sound therapy in Spain. Our aim is to spread the
awareness and knowledge of Sound as a powerful tool for personal and
planetary transformation.
Nestor and Michêle, directors of the association,
conduct intensive courses on the therapeutic and transformative uses
of sound, and particularly the voice. Through vocal harmonics (overtone
chant) and many other vocal techniques, a course participant is taken
on a ‘Sound Journey’ through the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
dimensions of sound.
Employing knowledge which ranges from ancient shamanic practices to
modern scientific techniques, they ensure that everybody receives
and takes home useful and powerful tools for personal (and planetary)
transformation. ‘Planetary’ because sound spreads out in all directions
from the source. When a group of people tone or sing together with
a common intention, they create a waveform that can literally influence
consciousness on a global scale.
Michêle combines her experience as a professional
singer with overtone chant, energy work and a deep, intuitive feel
for what each individual needs in order to connect with their inner
and outer voice.
Nestor specialises in vocal harmonics, and is an excellent teacher
who has had remarkable results. He is one of the few Westerners to
master the Tuvan (Mongolian) ‘deep voice’ or ‘Kargyraa’ style with
which a singer can produce 3 or 4 simultaneous sounds. It is similar
to the ‘One Voice Chord’ of the Tibetan monks.
In courses and in individual therapy sessions, both Michêle and Nestor
combine voice, Tibetan bowls, didgeridoo, tuning forks, drum and other
acoustic instruments to give sonic massages . These massages serve
to balance the aura and chakras, equalise the hemispheres of the brain,
stimulate the endocrine and immune systems, tune the ear, and harmonise
one’s personal vibratory rate at a molecular level.
Through a combination of sound, voice, energy
work, colour, visualisation, breathwork and movement, an intensive
and holistic approach to healing is presented. The most important
aspect of this therapy is that everybody learns to use tools they
already possess to experience health, well-being and an elevated vibratory
rate.
Nestor and Michêle are married and live in Alcalalí, Costa Blanca
with their three children.
