Sound Healing Vibrational Medicine Experience

The Honey Society : feat Haiikuu

 

This circle will be led by Haiikuu (Ashley Christine Edwards) weaving frequency healing tools, minimalist electronic, and raw elements including cochiti and buffalo drums, zaphir and Tibetan chimes, crystal bowls, teotehuacan flute, and vocal toning & harmonics into for a unique sonic journey. 

 

नादब्रह्म 

The Vedic saying, ‘Nāda Brahma,’ which translates into ‘all is sound’ or ‘sound is God,’ which means that all is brought into being by frequency, by sound. Sound provides the pattern and the motion by which all forms arise.

 

Bio

Haiikuu

a project by vocalist producer/performer ashley christine edwards.

Haiikkuu brings soul poetry through the 4th world. Ephemeral ambient & r&b textures interplay with human vibration in liminal space & Dali daydreams.

This is an experiment of archetypes, channeling raw expression and intuitive feminine wisdom. Vocal layers soar high peaks and inner seas with repeated phrases, seeking balance between feral power, dynamism and precision. each performance is a ritual, leading to acceptance of the self and the collective in the now moment. the magic of haiikuu is ether and water. energy moves as melodies become mantras. Fertile shadows come to light as they beg us to look in the mirror with more love.

 

The Honey Society

A project inspired by the Hive of Humanity.

Vibrations and sounds, collectively called Vibroacoustics, play significant roles in intracolony communication in honey bees. sound has note-able positive effects on psychological, subliminal, and physical fields. The call is to open the space and share the sweetness of life with community. We pre-select pop-up destinations for our gatherings and use sound as a primary medium to unify 

 

Sound as Medicine

Cymatics shows how sound organizes matter into form, just as our cellular structures—made mostly of water—respond to vibration. Masaru Emoto’s water experiments remind us that intention and frequency shape the very patterns of life. Sound is the bridge: vibration shapes matter, mantra aligns energy, and resonance restores coherence.

Chakras are wheels of prāṇa, centers of vibration; in Tibetan wisdom, tsa, rlung, thigle flow through chakras (khorlo), gates of consciousness where winds of life converge. Modern science echoes this: Dr. Beverly Rubik calls the biofield “a dynamic, organized energy field,” and Dr. James Oschman observes that “living systems are coherent, sensitive to subtle fields.”
