      <image:caption>Healing with sound and music is a human legacy from the ancient past that is undergoing dynamic growth in a revival in the present,  and promises to become a major field of a wide range of healing practices in the future.   Sound Healing can be an effective way to get in touch with ones body, ones emotions, release tension, become more centered, lower blood pressure, charge the brain, and stimulate bone conduction. Vibrations created with healing intention bring balance to body mind and spirit, beginning on the level of our cells. Certified as a sound healer, Thomas brings an understanding of various healing modalities to years of experience with instruments imbued by millennia of cultural and shamanic use as healing tools.  In sessions tailored to individual needs, he may utilize tuning forks, vocal techniques, didjeridu healing, improvisation, and other modalities. It is from silence that sounds arise.    Thomas Workman Ancient2Future Sound Healing   A Possible Session A sound healing experience with Thomas Workman is a journey of many dimensions, bringing balance, alignment, and deep relaxation to body, mind, and spirit.  After calling in guidance and protection from the four directions with conch shells, we begin with Sam Kien U Ki, an ancient Chinese form of movement meditation. We continue with humming, chanting bija mantras or vowels, resonating and aligning our breath, activating the chakras for healing.  With everyone comfortably sitting or lying down, the inner sound and music journey begins, guided and accompanied by a wide range of instruments from various healing traditions, including didgeridoo, bamboo flutes, fujara (Slovakian shepherds flute), khomus (Yakutian jaw harp), donso ngoni (West African Harp), nose flutes, tuning forks, bone flutes, Tibetan bowls, bansuri, guitar, voice and more.  After participants have completed their inner journeys, the session concludes with a collective sharing, which could be reflective of the experience or a creative sharing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bamboo Flutes Made by Patrick Allwell, from Everglades bamboo. Allwell had a way of finding the very best bamboo to make flutes with. These flutes have the best tuning, the free blowing, and the tonality is unmatched by anyone else. This collection represents quite a range beginning with numbers 1 through 7: C, D, E flat, F, G, A flat and B. These instruments inspire a player with their sensitivity and responsiveness. The ones I play most frequently are C, D and G.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Maori Shells Shell #5 I adapted with a carved wooden mouthpiece. Most of the Maori shells were small so by extending the mouthpiece they could get more volume, to use as communication tools, If a canoe was approaching, they could pick up a shell and ask, ‘are you here for peace or war?’ And they would wait for a response, with all communication being done with shells. For the Maori, shells can also be played as a flute.</image:caption>

Because of it’s unique construction its called Apocalypt, where an extra vibrational rod has been attached to the base of the tongue which is plucked adding a space age, out of this world tonality. It’s unpredictable but very interesting.</image:caption>

I’ve seen videos of masters making these mouth harps using knives and brass, in some cases, gathered from shell casings from the war so it’s a great source to ploughshare transformation. Unlike the Khomus, the Asian instruments have a very different playing style. The lips cover the teeth and the instrument is placed against the lips where the Khomus is placed directly against the teeth. This is a three-pronged Dan Moi.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Khomus, from Yakutia, Northern Siberia, an instrument belonging to an unbroken line of shamanism that is very lively to this day. To my mind, these are the people who make the most interesting, vibrant and valuable instruments in the jaw harp family. This unusual instrument, a double Khomus with two-tongues is usually played quieter and has a double resonance and overtones.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Khomus, from Yakutia, Northern Siberia. Made by a great master. When I play this one I can feel the plates of my skull vibrate. It’s very powerful. The master devotes exquisite attention and detail to the task of making these incredible mouth resonators. If I was left with only one jaw harp, it would be this one.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Berimbau A Brazilian instrument with an African antecedent, a central instrument to and deep expression of Brazilian culture, especially to Capoeira and Samba. You don’t have to have any money to acquire one because they are made from a gourd, a wooden bow, one metal string that is dug out of old truck tires with a knife; kind of high risk work but they don’t want piano wire, this is the wire they want because it has the right resonance, the right tone. The tone of the string is changed with a stone, the dobrao. The string is struck with a stick, the baqueta, while holding a shaker or rattle, the caxixi. Lots of parts of a fundamentally simple instrument but complicated to play.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Kamele Ngoni A ten-string instrument, five strings to be played with left hand and five strings played with the right hand in a pentatonic scale. The origin of this kind of instrument is West Africa, especially Mali) but all over West Africa. The predecessor of this instrument is the Donso ngoni, which has six strings and one would have to be initiated into a hunter’s society to start learning the rhythms. Kamele ngoni literally means ‘young man’s instrument.’ It’s a social instrument, not restricted by hunter society laws. This particular one is very exquisitely handmade by an extraordinary musician and instrument maker, Jeremy Cloak, from New Zealand, who spent a lot of time in Burkina Faso where he learned about this instrument. The devotion to the highest level of craftsmanship is represented throughout the instrument. He designed and hired a jeweler to make the top brass rattle or kasink. The wood is tiger teak from an old ship so live wood was not taken for any part of the instrument. The goatskin, leather details and cast brass pieces were all designed by him.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mouth Bow A very fundamental instrument made from cherry wood, one steel guitar string and a violin tuner with the mouth as the resonator on one end. This instrument appeared all over within societies that had bows, with it being such an important tool for survival, was always being re-worked and refined to make sure it would function when they were on the hunt. It was discovered with the mouth at one end and the arrow striking the bow produced a simple instrument with a lot of variation possible for the player.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cosmic Bow A mouth bow with four strings, taking an ancient concept into modern, contemporary form with very nice guitar tuners, beautiful wood and has a lot of presence. It’s extraordinary to play with the four strings and the mouth as resonator with all the overtones joining together to create the magic, hence the name cosmic bow.</image:caption>
