Are you someone who is consciously on a healing or spiritual journey ? There are many tools available to us for breaking through our limitations and supporting our healing journey, but we often fail to succeed in receiving the full benefit that these tools have to offer because of our tendency to outsource our agency to them, according to sound researcher and ethnomusicologist, Alexandre Tannous. He believes our inner narrative plays a big role in this.
In this episode, Alexandre shares with us how we can create a more empowered inner narrative to receive greater benefit from common “healing” tools, especially those of sound and psychedelics, to break through our limitations while exploring our own consciousness. He shares with us a method he has developed for receiving maximum benefit from listening to music, called Judicious Listening. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

Biography
Alexandre Tannous is as an ethnomusicologist, sound therapist and sound researcher who holds four degrees in music, and with years of experience performing, composing, conducting, teaching and lecturing about music.
He has been investigating the therapeutic and esoteric properties of sound from three different perspectives - Western scientific, Eastern philosophical, and shamanic societal beliefs - to gain a deeper understanding of how, and to what extent, sound has been used to affect human consciousness. This search has led him to the intersection of art, science, philosophy and spirituality.
The material he transmits about sound is based on a multidisciplinary research conducted over 23 years: observations he made during his fieldwork in over 40 countries, scientific studies, personal experiences, and data collected from thousands of people he has worked with doing sound therapy. This has led him to a deeper understanding of how sound reveals and unlocks hidden powers we have within us to promote profound inner transformation and healing.
Inspired by his findings, he designed a protocol of an integrated experience he calls “Sound Meditation” in which he shares the findings from his research, raising an awareness to how a specifically designed sound can have the ability to help us to disconnect from habitual patterns while judiciously listening to the specific overtone-rich instruments he plays. He employs a phenomenological approach to study the effects of sound, using a method that empowers the participants to engage actively with tools that enhance their experience, using the consciousness-altering properties of sound to heighten self-awareness, to connect to the higher self, to fine-tune self-observation and self-enquiry.
