Bonus: Voice as Instrument
with Onyi

Come along on a journey with ONYI as she guides you through activations to help you in utilizing your voice as an instrument for sound healing.

• Using the voice as a healing instrument by itself
• Using the voice in conjunction with others/other instruments
• Flowing with intuition versus keeping to a set structure
• Vocal warm-ups, exercises and hygiene

Q:  What if I decide I don’t want to take this course after I sign up?  What is your refund policy?

A: I honor the commitment you are making to yourself & to all those who will benefit from what you learn in this program, and take your intention to participate in this Certification very seriously. Please make the decision to enroll in this Certification by following your Authority (Emotional, Sacral, Splenic, Ego/Heart, etc). No refunds are offered. 

Q:  I can’t make the live classes and/or sound labs, will they be recorded?

A:  All LIVE classes & labs will be recorded – however – your presence and participation is required. If you are unable to attend any of our LIVE classes, you must watch the replays and write 3 sentences of your key insights from the class in your online workbook before the next LIVE class.

*** Q:  What is the time commitment for the certification?

A:  At the very least you will need to plan for:

• 6-7 hours per month to attend our LIVE classes & labs
• If you are unable to attend the classes & labs on the scheduled day, you will also need to watch the replays and plan to write out your reflections for the missed class & send them before the next LIVE class (1-2 hours per month)
• 5-6 hours per month to attend the Sound Temple Ceremonies
• Time to record your reflections from each ceremony (1-2 hours per month)
• 40 minutes per week for your 10-minute Sound practice 4x per week.
• Homework assignments will vary – probably best to plan for 2-7 hours per month.  Some months will be more, others less.
• Beginning in January you will be offering Partner Ceremonies to your online community, so best to plan for 4-7 hours per month to organize & present your ceremonies.
• So in total, you’re looking at anywhere from 20-32 hours to dedicate to this journey each month (5-8 hours each week). 

Q:  I don’t have any sound healing experience yet, can I still take the course?

A:  100% YES! This course will be the best thing that ever happened to you as you begin your journey with Sound Medicine!  I am so excited for you!!

Q:  What if  I’m not interested in receiving the certification, but I still want to take the program for my own empowerment and learning?

A:  Of course,  there is the option to just have access to the experience & material just for your own personal learning & enrichment (not to receive the certification), but it is helpful for you to know that is your path (and helpful for us & your classmates to know) so that everyone can manage their expectations, so no one ends up disappointed. 

*** Q:  I don’t have any sound healing instruments yet, can I still take the course?

A:  You are required to have at least 3-5 different types of sound healing instruments prior to our second lab together on October 24th (It would be best to have them by our second class on October 10th so you can start practicing).  You should have at least 1 instrument in the following categories:

1) Dispersive: Percussive instruments that disperse or “chop” the energy (rattle, drum, rainstick, ocean drum, etc)
2) Smoothing/Hypnotic: Instruments that create continuous, hypnotic soundscape (crystal bowls (most strongly recommended), gong, didgeridoo, handpan, Tibetan bowls, classical harp, etc)
3) Neutral:  Instruments that do a bit of both (koshi chimes, bells, xylophone, crystal harp, tuning forks, etc)

You will need to have a variety of different instruments so that you have a good amount of sonic “material” to work with. The goal is to have you feeling comfortable and confident to facilitate Ceremonies that are 90 min-2 hours, so you need to have enough Sound to be able to work with for that amount of time.  As soon as you sign up you will receive a video to support you in building your family of instruments.  This is an advanced Sound Healing course, with practical sound labs and homework that you will be required to complete in order to receive your certification by the end of our journey.  If you have any doubts at all that you will be able to obtain the necessary instruments please wait until another time to join us for the certification.  If you have any questions about this please send us an email here. 

Q:  OMG I’m soooo excited to get some Sound Healing instruments!!  Which ones do you recommend???

A:  Yay!!  I love your excitement!!  As soon as you sign up, you’ll get access to a video where I describe everything about which instruments I recommend, where to get them, etc.  I also went over the basics here.

Q:  What kind of instruments do you teach about?

A:  I only teach about those instruments I’ve played and can demonstrate for you (crystal singing bowls, crystal lyre/harp, gong, crystal pyramid, tuning forks, koshi chimes, bells, drums, flute, rattles, rainsticks, ocean drum, practitioner crystal singing bowls).  I will NOT be teaching about didgeridoo, Tibetan bowls, handpans – but you are absolutely welcome to participate in the class if you have these instruments! 🙂

Q:  I’m already a professional Sound Healer, will I benefit from doing this course?  

A:  I love working with people who already have a good amount of experience, because then we get to experiment more.  As a professional Sound Healer myself, I’m always on the lookout for opportunities to deepen my Sound practice and enhance my abilities as a Ceremonial Facilitator.  I trust your inner guidance.  You know if you are called.

Q:  Do you offer a Sound Healing Certification with this course?

A:  Yes. I am so happy to finally offer a certification!

Q:  After this training will I be able to teach and/or certify other Sound Healers using any of the methods/information from this course?

A:  No. This is a Sound Healing Certification, not a Teacher Training.  We may be offering a Teacher Training in the future!

Q: Does your course have voice activation as part of the program? 

A: I am so excited to finally be able to say YES to this question! I will be sharing some vocal exercises and techniques in our LIVE labs.

Q: Are your bowls 432 or 440hz frequency? Are any of them ‘pitch perfect’? Have you found it difficult to play with other people whose bowls are not pitch perfect or not the same frequency as yours? Where did you source yours?

A: I have two sets of frosted crystal singing bowls. Both are 432 Hz, and both are from a brand called Top Fund that you can find on Amazon. One set is perfect pitch (this is my main set. They also nest inside each other, condensing down into two carrying cases). It is definitely difficult to play with other instruments that are not 432hz, especially other crystal singing bowls. I’ve been able to get away with playing with 440 handpans/pantams, gongs, and metal singing bowls, but I have found it nearly impossible to play with 440 crystal bowls.

Q: Is your Sound Healing certification only for women?

A: Not at all! The Shamanic Star Sound is open to anyone and everyone who resonates with the sacred medicine of Sound! We need as many Keepers of Frequency and Carriers of Sound Medicine as possible on this planet at this time!! If you are feeling called to this collective mission, trust that!

Q: For our alumni: What is the difference between the original Shamanic Star Sound Course and the Certification?

A: The original course was 8 weeks, and the Shamanic Star Sound Certification is 9 months. In this space we have the opportunity to go way deeper than we did before.

I’m teaching all of the classes live, and updating all of the subjects with everything that I’ve learned over the past 5 years since I first recorded the videos for the class that you took.

There will also be homework assignments at the end of every class, required reading, teachings on Astrology and how to weave the Astrological energies into your Ceremonies with proficiency. Students are also required to send in a 10 minute guided meditation, and a 45 minute video Sound ceremony, complete with lights & altar spaces.

Basically, by the end of the certification I want everyone to be able to offer ceremonies and hold space with the same level of confidence and proficiency that I do, but in their own unique Frequency expression.
