When I play these bowls, I often feel what comes next rather than think about what I should play. It’s more about sensing the flow of the sound and imagining what the experience will feel like for you receiving it.

I’m genuinely in awe of these bowls from MEINL Sonic Energy They are exactly what I was looking for.

The Cosmos Therapy Series sound incredible both as a set and individually, and they have been perfect for the online sessions.

I’ve always been strangely loyal when I find something that truly works. Once I know something is high quality, I stick with it. These bowls will be with me for life.

This set is perfect for the online sessions, but they won’t quite fill the space for the larger sound baths. One day I’d love to introduce some of the Meinl Grounding Series bowls into the larger gatherings so the sound isn’t just heard, but felt through the whole room. That’s the dream. 👌🏼✨

Are we all connected?

Chris had not been to one of our sessions for years since his first visit and out of the thousands of people have now been to one of our sound baths, what are the actual chances of this happening?

What’s your thoughts?👇🏼

As the seasons start to shift we move into our season of sound baths which will hold you until the winter returns.

This weekend we visit for our first session in this venue. We have a lovely group ready to join us for an evening of sound relaxation in the edge.

We will be back this month for the sold out Helios session. Then we hold our next session there mid May. This one will fill up quickly so book soon to avoid missing out.

Our monthly online sessions continue to grow, our next session in the online space is Apr 2nd.

Then we move onto our Resonant Series which will be a Cathedral feel event, in a building that has been designed for frequency. I am particularly excited for this one.

To join us for any of the upcoming sessions just comment “Dates” below and I’ll send you the link to book.

See you soon,

Big Love,

James

I have processed so much of my life through music, anything I have been through, music has always been the thing that held me. Writing lyrics, singing, producing, music has been the saviour through many a time. Music has given me my highest moments, performing on stage in front of thousands and it has been there through the lowest of lows, it is my life’s compass.

This is why at this stage in my life’s journey, I know how much it can carry you, shift you, help you, relax you and hold you. I love the fact that people are attending sound baths and it is becoming more common in society.

This is not a phase or a trend for me, this is my life’s work in action. I care about details, I care about what you feel, I care about the transitions that maybe only some will pick up on during a sound bath, some may never hear those details but you will feel them.

One of the most common things I hear after a Life Is Sound session, is “wow I have never been to a sound bath like that” and that is simply because when a lifetime of musicianship meets 15 years of spiritual exploration, the outcome is everything I know weaved into an experience that will move you.

I love creating, exploring new ideas, I truly care about helping people as I have walked through my own fires and I am always the perfectionist whilst knowing I am forever a student of sound.

There was a time I worried about what people may think if I start playing singing bowls, imagine that, the thing you are worried about putting out in the world could be the key to unlocking possibilities you wouldn’t have dreamed of at the time.

We’re at a stage in our world and existence where we are all about to crave community and connection even more. Not through alcohol or drugs, not through trauma bonding, not through low vibrational experiences but through honest, human led, interconnected understanding of our shared nature whilst having the awareness of our individualities.

If you made it to reading to the end of what I am writing, then most likely you felt it. Keep on being you, keep showing up, keep loving yourself, put your crown on and remember you are royalty in your life.

See you soon,

Big Love,

James

Three reasons I do what I do with Life Is Sound.

1. The world is loud, but the nervous system was built for rhythm, not constant noise.

2. When people slow down together, something beautiful happens.

3. Moments like this remind me what actually matters.

Nature, connection, stillness.

Everything I create with Life Is Sound comes back to that.

Here is a minute of stillness from last nights session. From Tibetan Bowls to Handpan, Buffalo Drum, Harp and more. ✨

Last night was the third Life Is Sound online session. Thank you for joining me 🙏🏼 We had people from all over the UK, from London to Inverness.

These sessions are an invitation to join, camera off, microphone off, drop messages in the chat if you choose and to have an hour of pure stillness from the comfort of your own location.

We have an amazing community here at Life Is Sound and now we are growing our online community alongside it.

Our next online session is Thursday 2nd Apr. Link in bio to join.

Early bird spaces are available now. I am really looking forward to this one, this is truly a special space.
