Previously we had two sites and so two explanations of how I became involved with Sounds From Source - now that the sites have been melded into one - I have just popped both in as the one I did for the academy contains the reasons why I believe these programs are so important to the health and wellbeing of anyone willing to step outside the box and look at things a little differently.
Biography from Sounds From Source
I was born in New Zealand in the small country town of Paeroa, whose main claim to fame is a local soft drink called L & P - when I was a child it was called Lemon and Paeroa.
I think originally it had been made with the local mineral water. I remember as a child making up my own concoction from the local mineral water, with lemon juice and sugar - tasted quite nice and not unlike the soft drink bearing its name - however, what I didn't know, but was soon to learn, was that the local mineral water is a very strong laxative and purgative. So it was not a drink I ever made again.
I attended the local primary school and high school and then did a year long office course in Tauranga, mainly I think, because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and my parents wanted me to do something 'useful'.
I then worked for a year and then went hitchhiking around New Zealand, my mind filled with romantic fantasies about living life easy and freely. (I always liked the notion of freewheeling it through life like a free living 60's hippie - still do - but these days I want the creature comforts , so a nice hotel and the added security of having actual serious cash in the bank, which I have to say is still a work in progress). Anyhow, the fantasies didn't quite match up to reality, so I wound up going to University and studied for a Bachelor of Science.
Then spent a couple of years travelling around Europe - interestingly, all through this period, I never worried about money, I never had enough mind you - but when I needed things to happen - whatever I wanted or needed would just 'turn up'.
Over the years, I have done many things, I learnt Beauty therapy and actually taught it for a while. Owned several beauty salon's.
Did courses on real estate and embarked on buying property. More courses on business, shares and marketing and even went through period of teaching small business owners how to market their businesses using direct marketing methods.
Plus various courses in self development such as meditation, yoga, NLP, EFT and even a 2 year diploma course in Applied Para Psychology.
But all the while, during this period money or ready cash was a worry, at one point things looked very good on paper - but still - going out to dinner was something I had to think about. What was I doing wrong? I was doing everything I was taught - but it was hard and difficult, it always felt like an uphill battle and inside I wasn't happy.
Then disaster struck, a few wrong investments and everything went down the tubes.
We lost everything and for the first time, I had to take stock of the situation and take a good long look at me.
And I didn't want too.
I had been ignoring my inner insecurities and lack of self worth and self love, all of my life - and when you are in a situation where you really have to look at what and who you are because that's all you have left - it is hard!
And for me - if I could have avoided it - I would have.
What I realised I had been doing was living a life that I thought would make me happy, I never looked at what I truly wanted and to be honest, I didn't have a clue how to look.
I was and to some extent - still am, a course junkie - and I implement what I am taught, but it just never reached me on some level and so at the end of the day, the outer seemed to change, but because the inner me didn't at the level required - my life kept building up, then imploding - time and time again, and each time on a grander scale.
Then I met Sheila and together we have explored what was missing and what we could do to make our lives more balanced, more calm, more content and yes - more abundant and prosperous.
This journey of working with 'the Source of the Healing Sounds' or 'Sounds From Source' as we now refer to this wonderful body of consciousness - has taken us to the best places and some of the worst places (in terms of facing myself) - but always, I have found the work to be rewarding, enriching and entirely useful.
Today, I continue to learn new things everyday.
Sounds From Source continues to be the main focus in my life and as we venture forward with the information and skills we have garnered for more than a decade I am still filled with that 'sense of aliveness' which I have had from the beginning.
Plus, I am calm and peaceful and content most of the time and for me - that is the greatest blessing of all.
At present as I add to this biography in 2015, it has been eleven years and the journey is only now beginning in earnest.
Sheila and I are aware we must take this knowledge and the sounds themselves out to a greater audience.
I sincerely hope you will join us and utilise the sounds for your own benefit, we now have just surpassed the 900 mark in terms of sounds.
From Sounds From Source Academy
I had to think long and hard about what to write on this page, but in the end, I decided a brief history of how I became 'involved' with sound healing and what it had done for myself and my family would go a long way to explaining the passion I have for this and why I am quite driven to bring this channelled information which has been gifted to Sheila into the public domain.
My partner of some 19 years, had 3 daughters from a previous marriage.
The girls were and are lovely girls, the eldest girl was born prematurely with a congenital heart block.
While she was still newly born contracted osteomyelitis in her thigh which effectively stopped her thigh from growing any longer and affected her hip as well, as a child she had to endure many operations on her hips and legs, the last being a partial amputation of her leg, whereby the cut out her knee, turned her leg around and attached the calf to her thigh - thus making her ankle - which was now backwards operate like a knee - something for an artificial limb to attach too.
She has always had a pacemaker as well.
Next there were fraternal twin girls - a lovely pair - although they had immune deficiency problems and fell ill quite often.
Their mother fell ill with breast cancer while the girls were still very young and fought it valiantly for a number of years.
When the twins were 5, having just started school, the eldest fell ill and while she was in hospital it was discovered she had leukemia.
Her twin was tested and found to be a match, which was good - as her mother was going through yet another round of chemotherapy at the time.
However, when it came time for the bone marrow transplant - it was discovered that the younger twin also had leukemia in the beginning stages, so had to begin treatment of her own and the only suitable donor was their mother.
To briefly summarise this difficult period, the elder twin passed away.
The younger twin survived and has a few issues that are the residue of the bone marrow treatment. Very small, permanent loss of some hair (she used to have the thickest, thickest hair) and mottled skin from host vs donor graft syndrome.
Also, sadly, their mother passed away some 3 years later.
To say I became interested in alternative therapies at this time would be an understatement.
My father had died from bowel cancer, my mother had bowel cancer and my sister had survived cervical cancer.
I was actively looking for a solution, any solution. If someone had suggested I strip naked and run anti clockwise around a Mulberry bush quacking like a duck - I probably would have - if they could have proven to me, that it was of some value to the girls.
I remember reading and studying anything I could lay my hands on - that I thought might be useful. Having been brought up in a family that did not embrace religion - when I discovered works by Louise Hay and Catherine Ponder I did not really know what to make of their references to 'God' and healing works - but decided to put my bias aside and embrace the work anyway.
I found their continuous references to how emotions could cause dis-ease or heal dis-ease profound and very worthy of further examination - so started reading the works of Emmet Fox, Frederick Bailes, Shakti Gawain, Jack Addington, Dr Joseph Murphy, Stuart Wilde, and many, many others and discovered a fabulous bookshop in Sydney that carried a massive range of metaphysical and alternative therapy books.
I also discovered channelled books - I am particularly keen on books by Orin and Da Ben as channelled by Sanaya Roman and Dwayne Packer, and am also a huge fan of the books by John Payne and Omni.
I even embarked on a 2 year Diploma of Applied Parapsychology - which opened my eyes to chakras, aura's, meridians, crystal therapy and many other modalities.
All the while looking for something, anything to help the girls and also for myself to give me confidence and peace of mind.
I was at a mind, body and spirit festival and I met Cameron Dawson, I found him cranky and he spoke too fast about things which I had no knowledge of - but I did understand that he did work on the spine (considering the work Cameron did - this was a small, small piece of his work) - and I felt he might be able to help the eldest girl (I am deliberately not using their names for their own privacy), who, because of her bad leg had developed severe scoliosis.
I didn't tell her much about him - as I couldn't actually remember a lot of what he had said - but I made an appointment and dragged her to the place he was operating out of on his visit to Sydney. Cameron was Melbourne based.
I will never forget it for a number of reasons - firstly - when we got there - there had been some mistake with whoever had arranged the rooms for him to operate out of and the rooms were bare.
Absolutely bare, not a stick of furniture. We sat on the carpet, with my step daughter giving me baleful glances as if to say 'Why have you brought me here' - I must admit - I wondered that myself.
Then, there were the sounds, we could hear strange bells and high pitched tones and what sounded like a small elephant making a noise from behind the door.
But we stayed - and I'm glad we did. During that session, Cameron managed to change the curvature of my daughters spine dramatically.
With no hands on - simply using sound delivered by a series of bells, bowls and horns. I had a shoulder which was well below the other on - quite lopsided in fact.
My shoulders were straightened in that one session. I booked another appointment the following day for my partner and all the girls - we had by this time added to the brood with another daughter.
To keep a long story short - Cameron kept us well by using sounds at particular pitches.
He had done tremendous research into ancient healing techniques and studied the ancient systems of the body i.e. the meridian system, the chakras, the auric fields and of course how emotions can leave a residue of a trail in the body or energy systems and so distort the blueprint of the body - which eventually may cause physical illness within the body.
And he used sound and intention to keep the systems functioning normally.
We would see Cameron whenever he was in Sydney and I relied on him to keep us well.
When he passed away - I was totally bereft, as I had grown to rely on him for our 'top ups' to help keep the girls well. And they were well - their health really blossomed during that time and they continue to be healthy today, due, in no small part, to 'the sounds'.
It was at this time that I first met Sheila.
Sheila was a protege of Cameron's and worked with him - although she was a very accomplished healer in her own right.
She took over from Cameron for a while, before embarking on her own path.
Sheila and I just 'got on' and we became fast friends. I was also very involved with business at this time and was hugely into 'mindset' stuff - but to my utter frustration - found that for all my work on myself - it only seemed to take me so far.
Because of Sheila's vast mix of knowledge, her ability to channel, her background as a healer and teacher, we would have the most wonderful and enlightening conversations.
I have never known a person with such complete and utter trust in the universe, which I found and still find both delightful and bewildering at the same time.
It was during one of our many conversations that we became aware of 'something else' having an input into the information which Sheila was bringing forth and so began our long association with the body of consciousness which we know as 'Sounds From Source'.
They have not only sent through much information about 'how things work' on a physical, global, universal and cosmic level and how these energies can impact upon 'us', but also have provided us with the sounds - which to my mind are healing packets of energy.
Sheila, who was always an accomplished energy and wellness healer in her own right has in my opinion become a energy healing phenomenon.
Her knowledge and energetic abilities have soared over the past decade or so.
I have met no one who even comes close to having the knowledge or ability which she now has - and we have come to realise that it is time to take our message, knowledge and healing tools out to the world for those who want to know and are willing to think and look outside the box for solutions.
So - how are 'sounds from source' different?
They are pure vibration, they carry instructions and frequencies which will assist you to heal various emotions, issues and more - if you allow it - which may be within you or affecting you, whether the issue or emotion, be yours, your family's, your genetic heritage, this life time, a past life time issue that has been carried through to this one and many other layers and levels too numerous to mention.
Because I was heavily into mindset and business. There are a myriad of sounds which cover abundance and prosperity. And now even a business program.
We have numerous practitioner courses and workshops. And a collection of books on amazon which Sheila has written over the years. We have membership programs and of course you can purchase a selection of sounds from our online store.
Update 2015
In addition to the above explanation, over the years, the sounds themselves have grown to encompass far far more than what I have said above.
It is difficult for me to articulate just what they cover - as they have grown so much over the years, just as our knowledge and needs have grown.
The explanation of cellular memory is a small small part of what the sounds do and what they are capable of - Sheila and I have been aware for some time of what they can do.
Sharing this to a world which may be unprepared to listen is not an easy task, however ultimately we know there are some who not only want, but need this information and healing and it is for those that we venture forth.
Please avail yourselves of these sounds - this site has been created for you.
