This is a continuation of yesterday's post, "Fabeku & Sacred Sound Healing." See PART I here.

RockOm: Do you have a ritual or some way that you prepare yourself for the sessions?

Fabeku: The main way I prepare is that I’m constantly hanging out with sound. The more time you spend with sound the more familiar it gets and the more comfortable you are with it. My morning ritual is that I get up and I work with sound for half and hour to an hour or so, playing with the singing bowls or chanting. So, it’s this constant immersion in sound for me. Before each individual session I spend some time getting quiet and connecting and asking my allies for support and assistance in the session. Once the individual is there I spend a couple of minutes sitting with what that focus is for them.  All of the sounds that come through during a session are just a reflection of their focus. During that time they’re surrounded in this space where everything they hear is a reflection of what it is they want.

RockOm: Where are you going with your work? What are your intentions for your future or your practice and other areas of your career?

Fabeku: I just finished a CD called Remembering Through Resonance.  It’s a singing bowl CD. I’m working on another CD with drums and some other instruments and definitely plan on working on other CDs in the future.  I’d love to do some traveling.  I’m going to start traveling, doing some workshops and sessions, and performing singing bowl concerts. I’ve got 35-40 singing bowls that I’ll pack up and take with me. I'll set up and spend a couple of hours playing the bowls and giving people that first hand taste of what the sacred sound is all about!

More from Fabeku:

"Sacred sound supports healing, because it is informed by the intention the individual sets. And when I do each session, at the beginning, I pray that every sound that comes through the session be in total alignment with the highest expression of their intention. So we're basically creating a container of sound that can hold this intention for this, so they can then hold it for themselves."

"Sound works at the energy level, it works whether someone is there in person or doing the session at a distance. This work has been profoundly effective for people, and the truth is I've not seen any difference in efficacy between working with someone in the same or working with someone that's thousands of miles away. It's a different experience being present, of course - more immersive - but the work itself isn't limited by distance.

I've done a lot of healing work over the years, and sacred sound has been the most powerful, most effective and, at the same time, most accessible and most gentle medium I've found for supporting change in people's life. And the changes I've seen have been amazing.

In a broader sense, this work ties in with my love of music and has deepened and expanded my love of sound in all forms. My library of music includes everyone from Krishna Das, to Morrissey, to Debussy. Music moves me in a way few other things do, so my work with sacred sound feels like a natural extension of that love of music, and its power to touch and heal and change us."
