Bruce Manaka– author of “Flights of a Runaway Monk” spent 19 years in a monastery living a life of meditation and contemplation. In his work with sound, he uses ancient vocal overtone techniques, combined with crystal singing bowls, didgeridoo, flutes, and other instruments that create resonant frequencies to entrain the body and mind into the deepest states of trance and relaxation. He demonstrates how certain sounds and their harmonics create pathways to enhanced awareness of the heart’s natural love and creativity. www.manakastudios.com
