What is the SOUND OF NOW?
The SOUND OF NOW! is for people who want to dive deeply into the spiritual dimensions of healing and awakening with sounds. Some prior experience of healing, chanting, breathwork or meditation is desirable but not essential for participating in this process.
The SOUND OF NOW draws on the best of wisdom traditions and modern psychology to help you to open your mind, heart and will to connect more fully with the Source and be guided by your Highest Self.
By following the SOUND OF NOW you will experience the peace, calm and joy that comes with a deep sense of knowing the true nature of your being and your purpose in life.
From this calm, peaceful, heart-centred state you will be able to take the most appropriate actions to best serve your family, friends and clients in your personal and professional life.
You will be able to let go of unhelpful, unhealthy patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that are holding you back from fully BEING you, and expressing your unique contribution in the world.
In addition, the SOUND OF NOW enhances the effectiveness of health and wellness practices, programmes and interventions.
The SOUND OF NOW is a unique way of creating and being with outer and inner sounds for healing, transformation and inner awakening.
The Programme includes a series of talks and guided practices including:
- Listening to outer and inner sounds
- Creating gentle sounds with our voices and easy-to-play instruments
- Breathing
- Meditation
- Visualisation
- Movement
By participating in this programme you will experience and learn the core SOUND OF NOW practices that you can apply to yourself and also with others.

Background
There are two inter-related processes in the Sound of Now!:
- Sound Presencing Process
- Inner Sacred Sounds Process
The Sound Presencing Process
In 2008, I (Tony Nec) participated in the first Global Classroom Training program of the Prescencing Institute, founded by Otto Scharmer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, USA.
This Process is based on years of research and development by Otto and his colleagues at MIT, and incorporates the wisdom heart of many spiritual traditions and contemporary mystics.
The Global Classroom was a wonderfully inspiring program for me, and since then I have incorporated the Presencing Process that I learned into many of my practices.
I have worked with different variations of this Process now for 6 years in both group and 1-2-1 work.
I have used this Process myself to guide my actions, and I have developed and tested a unique version of it that I call the SOUND PRESENCING PROCESS.
I have incorporated the dimension of Sound into the framework of the Process. This works dynamically in a number of ways:
- Sounds activate and enhance the effectiveness of the Process
- The Process enhances the effectiveness of working with Sounds for Healing and Spiritual Awakening
The foundation of this approach is a U – shaped process, which enables us to create a more Open Mind, Open Heart and Open Will.
It allows us to stop downloading from the past unhealthy patterns of thinking, feeling and acting.
The Process helps us to let go of the 3 Inner Voices that typically prevent us from creating more healthy patterns.
The 3 Inner Voices are:
- The Voice of Judgement
- The Voice of Criticism
- The Voice of Fear
When we learn to silence these inner voices we can then see with fresh eyes, sense into the Field, and let go.
This is the downward arc of the U Process.
We are then able to arrive in a still, open inner state of Presencing, where we can connect to our Source, our Highest Self, and receive answers to the most profound questions that we can ask such as: Who Am I? What Am I Called To Do Next?
This is the bottom arc of the U Process.
In receiving the answers, we let new wholistic patterns come into our awareness.
In the upward arc of the U Process we first crystalise the new vision and our intentions.
We then take some small steps to test a ‘prototype’ of the new vision and intentions, unifying our head, heart and hands.
We learn and adjust from this testing process until we are ready to fully embody the new vision and manifest our intentions.
If we invert the shape of the U, we get a different perspective:
Inner Sacred Sounds Processs:
Connecting with the Sacred Sound Stream by listening to inner sounds is a highly valued spiritual path in many wisdom traditions including, Vendanta, Sant Mat, Bon, Tibetan Buddhism and Sufi.
A set of practices has been tried and tested over many centuries that we can follow to develop our capacity to hear increasingly more subtle inner Sacred Sounds. These practices are known as Nada Yoga and Surat Shabd Yoga.
In Nada Yoga, for example 4 levels of sound are recognized, and practices appropriate to each level can be learned and followed:
- Vaikhari – these are sounds in the external world around us that we perceive through our ears
- Madhyama – these are sounds of the mind – that we can imagine or recall and hear in our mind
- Pashyanti – these are visual sounds – sounds that we perceive as colours and images
- Para – going beyond the senses. Listening to the inner Sacred Sound Stream which carries us to bliss
In these traditions, listening to the inner Sacred Sounds leads us to the inner Divine Light, and this leads us back to the Source otherwise called Brahman, Jehovah, Allah, God, and the Universal Life Force.
From the Source 2 subtle energies emerge: Light (yin) & Sound (yang). We can connect back to the Source through the Inner Sacred Sounds and the Inner Divine Light.
When we connect to the Source in this way, we transform and heal ourselves. We are also then able to be most effective in facilitating the self-healing of others through sound (and colour) therapy.

More about the Sound of Now! Programme for 2015:
The Sound of Now! is an 8-month transformation programme covering both the Sound Presencing and the Inner Sacred Sounds processes. You will learn a series of practical exercises (breathing, movement, meditations and creative sound work) that you can immediately practice for your self-healing, transformation and inner awakening.
When you have successfully applied these processes for yourself and experienced many beneficial outcomes, you can then offer these processes and practical exercises with confidence to your clients, family and friends to help them heal, transform and awaken.
The Sound of Now! programme is facilitated by myself (Tony Nec) with the support and assistance of Cathy Edgar. Cathy is a singer and sound healer. She has a unique ability to let go and channel healing sounds with her voice.
The Sound of Now! Programme includes:
3 Residential Weekend Retreats in Oxfordshire
We will use a variety of easy to play instruments, vocal toning, mantras and chants to facilitate the Sound of Now! and develop our awareness of and sensitivity to outer and inner sounds.
There will be breathing, movement, relaxation and meditations each day to help us tune into these sounds, and develop our capacity for being with the Sound of Now!
In addition there will be 1-2-1 coaching sessions with Tony Nec – held by Skype or phone
Plus Group coaching sessions for everyone on the programme – held on the internet.
The coaching sessions will extend and enhance the learning and transformation that you will get on the workshops. They will give you extra support and facilitate your own awakening process.
Location of the venue:
The venue for the Retreats is The Abbey, Sutton Courtney, Oxfordshire, UK. The Abbey is a unique medieval building, set in extensive grounds, tucked away in the small village of Sutton Courtenay, just 10 miles south of Oxford.
