Shanti Sound with Michelle Byrne

Weaver of sound, intuitive and facilitator of possibilities. Yee Ley of HK Chinese descent was born in London, UK.

A spiritual awakening in her thirties dramatically changed Yee Ley’s  life path where sound and energy medicine entered her world. With a  background as an IT Business Analyst, this shift in consciousness enabled  her to create a lighter way of living and it sparked a thirst for  wanting to know more.  This intrepid explorer of consciousness, now  provides transformational experiences for those that are looking for a  lighter way of living. Inspired by her teachers and her team of light,  she has developed her own sound healing style and range of voice alchemy  classes and album releases.

Yee Ley has been living in New Zealand since 2014 and provides a  range of sessions, classes and retreats that assist people to meet the  choices they are looking for.

This week I chatted with Sukhmani and Sukhman, who make up the duo Sukha from California. The name Sukha means ease and bliss in Sanskrit. They’re are a gorgeous musical couple who are also mantra artists, sound facilitators, yogis and teachers- I was lucky enough to hang out with them for a few days when I visited in 2016. We’re chatting about how they met, all their amazing offerings- music, yoga trainings and soudbaths- the benefits of live music with yoga, the benefits of singing and much more.

Nessi Gomes is a British-Portuguese musician, she is an amazing singer, songwriter and music artist and an international voicework facilitator, helping people open up their expression through the power of their voice. Nessi shares deeply with us about the challenges she faced as a young person and how sound and using her voice in particular helped her to navigate difficult times. We hear about her experience living in the Pachamama spiritual community in Costa Rica and how that influenced her life and her music, about about recording her album on a boat on a canal in London, and about her incredible vocal workshops: Vocal Odyssey: Meeting with the Spirit of Your Voice, and how the workshops have transitioned to an online course during covid times, now accessible to hundreds of people. Nessi also guides us with a short humming exercise to engage our breath and slow our breathing, bringing a sense of calm.
