Healing the Family through Resonant Chanting to Restore Order

Healing through harmonics is to tap into the resonant field and bring it into order.  What I found interesting about Jill Purce is her fundamental understanding of spirals and frequency as an underlying pattern in the universe.  What interested me was her ability to use chanting to heal families.  I hadn’t heard of that before but it seems to work on the principle of harmonics. 

I recall on my world trip meeting a lady who used tuning forks for healing and she had a whole array of them and would hit them and you could hear different pitches, some high and some lower but the idea is that it works with the chakra energy system and brings into balance the body.

That would be a lot cheaper than medical interventions.  The only testimony to this is if it works. 

Her goal is to heal humanity.  A noble idea.

Our blueprint harmonises with universal patterns and energy matrices.  We are not what we think and harmonics takes us out of the thinking mind into the mind of universal intelligence.  

The first part of this blog looks briefly at the mystical spiral which I felt inspired to write about in my poetry and then family healing through resonant fields and her bibliography.

The Spiral

The spiral is a natural form of growth,
and has become, in every culture and every
age, humanity’s symbol of the progress of the soul towards eternal life.
As the inward winding labyrinth, it constitutes the hero’s journey to the still centre where the secret of life is found. As the spherical vortex, spiralling through its own centre, it combines the inward and outward directions of movement. In this original and engrossing book, Jill Purce traces the significance of one of our central symbols from the double spirals of the Chinese Yin Yang symbol to the whorls of Celtic crosses, Maori tattoos and the Islamic arabesque. Many of the superb images here were intended as objects of contemplation; for the spiral is a cosmic symbol.
“The “Mystic Spiral” is the clearest expression I have ever come across of the system I have glimpsed in the intuitive flashes my poems are composed of. The bones of the universe, one potent sunbird structure. Ms. Purce is the magic maiden with the skeleton key that opens a myriad of doors.”
George Andrews – Poet and author.
 
“Jill Purce’s book is extraordinary, it shows the spiral going through all the manifestations of life- art, music, literature, dance, religion, mythology, physics, biology, botany and astronomy. Everything is spiral. She points to the unity of the cosmos, and acts as a counterbalance to the atomization of the world. There are hundreds of wonderful illustrations. She gives you the key – like the thread of Ariadne which leads you out of the labyrinth.”
Karlheinz Stockhausen in “Stockhausen, Conversations With The Composer” by Jonathan Cott.
Mere words can not do justice to the beauty of this book. Elegant, graceful, profound, these spirals embody such concepts as eternity, evolution, birth and death, expansion and contraction, the Tao, and God.”
Stanley Krippner in “Association for Humanistic Psychology Newsletter”.
 
“The Mystic spiral, together with its spiritual message, has much to tell us architects of the laws of growth and its archetypal forms. This would help us design buildings which are within the flow of nature rather than in opposition to it.”
Professor of Architecture, Birmingham School of Architecture.

Healing Family & Ancestors: Ritual & Resonance

Jul 27 – Aug 1, 2012

Presented by: Jill Purce

  • Health & Healing
  • Personal Development
  • Relationship
  • Spiritual Development
Transform inherited patterns into magical blessings, bringing harmony, joy and order into your daily life. Activate the unconscious field of the ancestors, making it a rich source of wisdom and illumination. Intensely healing, this week uncovers and restores aspects of the psyche normally closed to therapeutic methods and transforms negative patterns into natural blessings. Jill’s unique ceremonial shamanic healing rites, using chant and family constellations, heal the resonant field of the family. She works with each person, resolving recurring hurts in magical and oracular ways, healing our lineage and clearing the field, enabling present and future generations to receive ancestral blessings, transforming clamorous ancestors into benign allies and powerful guides.
 
When earlier family members die or ‘leave” prematurely, trapped and painful patterns of exclusion act as magnets or attractors for later generations. By working in the present to reveal inherited dynamics, we change both past and future, restoring order within the family, even where families have passed on. We discover what Native Americans call “our medicine”, the gift we are to the world, embodying the benign influence of past generations. Come individually or with other family members. Effects can be immediate and bring great joy into peoples lives. Those who do this work with Jill have healed in ways they said were untouched by years of therapy. While Jill developed this work over fifteen years ago in Europe- this is only the third time she has brought it to North America.

She is the author of The Mystic Spiral: Journey of the Soul (Thames and Hudson, 1974) a book about the spiral and the evolution of consciousness in spiritual traditions, art and psychology, as well as numerous articles.
 
From 1973, as General Editor for many years of her pioneering series “Art and Imagination“, she produced over thirty beautifully illustrated books on Sacred Traditions, Art and Cosmology, published by Thames and Hudson, Seuil, Heibonsha.

. Post graduate at Chelsea College of Art, London.
 
. Awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship in King’s College Biophysics Department, University of London, where she initiated a dialogue between science and mysticism with Maurice Wilkins (Nobel prize for DNA).
In 1971 she lectured at King’s College to the British Society for Social Responsibility in Science (BSSRS).

At this time she was lecturing and teaching on art, music and mysticism, as well as on the spiral as a ubiquitous form in both nature and the development of consciousness, and on sound and the voice as a spiritual practice and creative force in the universe.
 
In June 1971 She moved to Kürten in Germany to work with the German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. During her time there, and because of her long-time fascination with the power of the voice, she helped him create Alphabet für Liège, a piece demonstrating the effect of sound and the voice on matter (1972). She took part in concerts of his music at various music Festivals (Liège, La Rochelle and Sainte Baume -1972,1973,1974), published articles on music and form, and worked with the spiritual dimension of music and overtone chanting (producing chords or simultaneous notes octaves apart). Stockhausen had just introduced overtone chanting to the West for the first time, two years before, with the first peformance of his piece Stimmung in December 1968.
During the autumn of 1971 Jill toured with Stockhausen and the performances of Stimmung all over the Eastern United States and Canada.

 

 

Researching and working with the magical properties of the voice since 1968, and having spent time with the Gyutö monks before going to Germany in 1971, she continued her studies with the chantmaster of the Gyutö Tibetan Monastery and Tantric College, Tenpa Gyaltsen, in the Himalayas and with the Mongolian Khöömii master, Yavgaan in order to develop the Tibetan and Mongolian methods of overtone chanting.

 

 

 
From 1970 onwards she worked with many spiritual teachers, as well as American Indians and Shamans from different traditions.
Between 1971 and 1974 she divided her time
between Kürten, Germany – working and travelling
with Stockhausen – and London, writing her book
The Mystic Spiral : Journey of the Soul, and
lecturing and giving workshops on both the spiral
and on sound and the voice in the UK, USA,
Holland, Germany, France and later Japan, India,
Canada and in institutions all over the world,
where she pioneered voice and overtone
chanting workshops.
