His set of percussions is composed by djembé, derbuka, bongos, congas, udu, cymbals, and all kinds of shakers and bells, as well as a high quality set of microphones and mixer, and the amazing new Korg Wavedrum Oriental (new generation electronic drum synthesizer).
SWANN – Sound Healer :
Swann became a certified sound therapist after training at the world renowned Peter Hess Academy in Belgium and the College of Sound Healing in the UK.
He works with several symphonic gongs as well as a large choice of Himalayan bowls (from Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India) and many other sacred/shamanic instruments.
Swann offers two types of therapy :
- Group therapy meditation known as "Gong Bath" or "Sound Bath". The Gong Bath, a very ancient technique from Asia, is a complete sound bath that produces an amazing sense of wellbeing through the vibration of all the water within the body (our bodies are 80% water).
- Individual therapy, known as "Sound Massage", working with Himalayan bowls on more specific pathologies, putting into vibration the energetic paths inside the body. Each type of bowl is used in association with the chakras so as to liberate these paths on three levels : the body, the mind and the aura. The sound massage evacuates distress and brings inner balance.
Gong Baths and Sound Massages bring an intense sense of wellbeing, restabilize the balance of energies, and regenerate the body’s natural defenses.
