Jonathan Goldman’s Healing Sounds Presents
THE DIVINE NAME
Frequency Shifting for Tumultuous Times
A week-end of Vibrational Activation
Jonathan & Andi Goldman
During his 30 years in the field of sound healing, Internationally Acclaimed Teacher, Author, Chant Master and Healing Sounds pioneer Jonathan Goldman made an incredible discovery. The Divine Name, a universal sound, that, when intoned, can bring harmony and healing to ourselves and to the planet. This sacred name, encoded within our DNA, is the personal name of God, once found in the religious texts that link over half the world’s population. Prohibited and then lost for nearly 2,500 years, The Divine Name is available once again. It is a sound that when vocalized has the ability to resonate both the physical body and subtle energy fields of anyone who intones it—irrespective of religion, tradition, or belief. It has the power to issue in a new era of human consciousness, uniting us in healing, peace, and oneness. This is a unique opportunity to join Jonathan and his wife, Andi, in a weekend of vibrational activation creating frequency shifts that align imbalances, invoke divine energy and initiate transdimensional communication. more>
