Sonic Sadhana is a collaboration between yogi TJ Jackson (California) and sound designer Timo Preece (Berlin). It merges ancient theory and applied practices from kundalini, hatha-raja, laya and tantric yoga lineages, neuroscience, quantum physics and state-of-the-art sound design using Vedic, planetary, elemental and chakra tunings.
Each Sonic Sadhana experience is a unique, experiential interplay between guided meditation, movement, breathwork, and sound-bath healing crafted to align and harmonize the cellular and energy bodies and access deep states of mindfulness.
TJ Jackson trained as a scientist and physician. he was initiated into yoga in India at an early age and continued his studies with Sri Dharma Mittra in New York City. A traveling teacher, he has had the pleasure to share practices throughout the world in a number of traditional and nontraditional circumstances. As a practice called ‘union’ (yoga), one of the joys is allowing the yogic sciences to dance with mystic and indigenous shamanistic experiences throughout the globe to continually evolve the delivery of self realization techniques.
Timo Preece is an accomplished audio technologist, multi-media consultant, sound designer and electronic musician. He graduated with a degree in Ethnomusicology from UCLA and a Masters in Sound Design at the University of Edinburgh, UK. From conceptualizing and building cutting-edge setups for audio/visual performance to offering inventive solutions for composition, production and technology integration, Timo has worked with a wide variety of sound enthusiasts, companies and world renown artists.
SONIC SADHANA:
A supersensory journey through sound, space, energy and consciousness through the power of nada yoga.
Nada yoga is the yoga of sound and vibration. Nada, vibration, is the quantum building block of the universe that shapes energy and matter; form and flow. Tune-in and harmony flows: physically, energetically, mentally, socially and spiritually. Tune-out and one falls prey to discord, conflict and dis-ease. Body-mind is in constant communication with the physical vibrations (ahat) all around – a cascade of action-reaction that penetrates to the level of our DNA and affects its activation and repair.
At a deeper level is the supersensory Self. One that remains attuned to the universal frequencies beyond the levels of normal sensory perception. Anahata, commonly referred to as the heart chakra, but literally means “the “unstruck” sound, the independent, undifferentiated transmitter and receiver of the cosmic source frequency – often referred to as spirit.
Sonic Sadhana is an on-ramp to super-conscious navigation through nada. Sounds to heal. Sounds to reveal. Specially attuned binaural beats, spatialization, live electronic sequencing and acoustic instrumentation merge with nada yoga practices (breathings, visualizations, guided meditations) to activate and harmonize the cosmic octave (ie chakras), balance body+mind and amplify the relationship to the cosmic SELF.
