Crystal Sound Therapy Testimonials What some of our students are saying about the 12 month Crystal Sound Therapy professional study program...
"Thank you Susie for providing this excellent opportunity to immerse one's self in a program of study which is so rare and precious. Already over 100 people in my community are enjoying the benefits of my training with you. CST realigns and deepens our connection to source. It is profoundly transforming." Lynne Maree Bowman, Yoga Teacher and Crystal Sound Therapist, Kiama, NSW “I thoroughly enjoyed the Crystal Sound Therapy course. Susie is a wise and caring facilitator. Each meeting was a joy. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in exploring and utilising quartz crystal bowls”. Felice Faisca, Production Editor, Crystal Sound Therapist, Blue Mountains, NSW
"I responded to a strong urge to undertake a course in Sound Healing in February 2005 when I was four months' pregnant with my fourth child, Lachlan. I popped on the Internet to do a search and up came Susie and the Karyna Centre for Transformation. At first I was disappointed to see the Centre was based in Sydney (I live in south-western Victoria). With three young children and a fourth well on the way I knew it would be impractical for me to travel to undertake studies. When I learned that Susie was prepared to travel to her students I knew this was the course for me - the Universe was giving me the big green light so I didn't hesitate. Within 24 hours I'd spoken to Susie, ordered a set of 7 crystal bowls and organised the timing for my first week long intensive workshop. I was thrilled that the Universe (through Susie) made it possible for me to do this course without leaving my children. I was filled with a sense of deep gratitude and of excitement as I embarked on the first part of my journey with Susie and the bowls in April 2005. I loved the way Susie designed the course to be hands-on from the moment I unpacked my bowls and I noticed the transforming power of the bowls in my life immediately and on all levels: physically, emotionally and spiritually. Susie is a wonderful, caring and supportive mentor - who has been incredibly flexible in accommodating my need to take the course at a slower pace due to my family commitments. Even though I am now only half way through the course content I have already done several public performances with the bowls; I run a weekly meditation group with the bowls; and I do daily practise with the bowls. The bowls have also called me to integrate a regular yoga practice into my life - and the positive impact all of this has had on my energy levels and creativity is almost beyond description. The bowls and this course have been the springboard to a far more vibrant, rewarding and enriching life for me. I have no doubt that I have now found my true path in life. If you feel called to Crystal Sound therapy you can't go past this course. We are very blessed to have Susie and the Karyna Centre in Australia." Nicola Provan, Lawyer and Mother, Elliminyt, Victoria "During 2005 I was fortunate enough to join Susie Nelson Smith for two workshops ‘Transformation with Crystal Sound”; both were amazing experiences both for me personally, and for others in the groups. I was touched by the gentle but effective manner in which the sound of the Crystal Bowls influenced my life, and the thoughtful, sensitive and well structured manner in which Susie allowed this to occur. Having been captivated by both Susie’s prowess as a teacher, and by the crystal bowls as a medium, I embarked on the 12 month Crystal Sound Therapy Professional Study Program. Presently I am almost half way through the course, and I have to say that the past 6 months have been some of the most incredible months of my life, in terms of the way I see and interact with the world around me and in particular the people in it. I have experienced a depth of perception far beyond that which I previously possessed, and have been fortunate enough to welcome some beautiful changes within my own life (which has been challenging, to say the least, over the past 10 years or so). I presently feel that the near future holds a wealth of wonderful experiences and adventures with the Crystal Bowls, and find that the more I work with them, the more I want to… Throughout the study program, we have shared some wonderful residential learning experiences with Susie as our guide and mentor. I fully recommend the 12 month Study program whether for professional or personal purposes, as a wonderful personal spiritual journey. I would also be happy for anyone to contact me to ask questions, share experience or purely to find out about the courses Susie has to offer." Vanessa Beckitt, Teacher, Bruny Island, Tasmania "Words seem insufficient to describe my 'sound' experience so far, as I walk the path of learning with Susie and the one year Crystal Sound training course she offers. My Soul sang in recognition of its note when I first attended a crystal bowl concert in 2005 and I knew it was time to surrender to the joy that sound brings. This training course continues to reinforce and remind me of my connection to All That Is and, with Susie and my bowls as teachers, the grace with which my ongoing unfoldment is offered consistently uplifts me. The confidence to Be grows stronger and the joy of sharing these gifts of love is immeasurable." Katharina Bereza, Deviot, Tasmania What some of our students are saying about the Transforming with Crystal Sound weekend workshop or Retreat..."This workshop was an experience that I would encourage anyone to participate in, who had the opportunity to do so. The love shown by Susie spreads throughout the group irrespective of age and background. We all bonded in a beautiful way, that I have not experienced before and I am looking forward to meeting as a group again when we have a lunch together in about a month's time. Susie taught us to play the crystal bowls in such a sensitive way, that we did not feel uncomfortable when the bowls were not played correctly and the sound bath was a unique experience of peace and relaxation." Margaret Creenaune, Retired, Sydney “I had never had the chance to experiment with sound and meditation before. I had listened to someone else play but never thought I would be able to play them myself. A wonderfully, relaxed and secure environment for me to explore the crystal bowl musician in me!” Hazel Lee - Registered Nurse, Aromatherapist, Blue Mountains, Sydney “Thank you Susie for a great, fantastic, awesome workshop.” Audrey Rucker, Nurse, Mackay “I found the workshop very uplifting and very rewarding. It has balanced me on the inside which will help on the outside.” Richard Nolan, Sales Manager, Sydney “I found the workshop to be more than I expected in the sense I learnt a little more about myself and am looking forward to playing my first set of crystal bowls.” Rossana, Accountant, Sydney “I have really enjoyed the workshop especially when Susie played for us. I feel that no one could come to her workshop and not be inspired.” Beverley Obermayer, Sydney “The workshop provided me with a deep sense of peace and well-being. It proved me with clarity and strength of knowing to make a major life change. Crystal bowls have entered into my life and I am very grateful to Susie for her beautiful, sensitive introduction of crystal sound to my life.” Patricia O’Shannassy, Therapist, Melbourne "I would just like to thank you for the weekend workshop which you held in Brisbane. It was so enlightening and I received so much from it. I would especially like to thank you for guiding me through that deep seated fear enabling me to come to terms with it and removing the complete blockage. Please let me know when you are holding other workshops in Brisbane so I may attend." Dave Draper, Engineer & Aromatherapist, Brisbane “An extremely gentle yet powerfully cleansing and empowering weekend. Thank you for the experience.” Carol Campbell, Traralgon, Victoria “I went to a workshop 3 months ago with Susie in Traralgon, Victoria. It was remarkable I had a two hour drive home late at night and I was alert and fresh all the way home. I feel a profound change in my life and as a result found a new and dynamic health and nutritional program. I then became very motivated and lost 11kg in weight. I then went on to study a fabulous breathing technique which has resulted in me getting by with three hours less sleep and I feel like I am filling two lives into one. I have a huge increase in vitality. I believe the last crystal bowl workshop was a wonderful and dynamic motivator and I eagerly wait to see what wonderful new thing will come into my life over the next few months. I highly recommend Susie’s crystal bowl workshop. It was a wonderful experience, a great gift of love.” – Michael Morrison, Inventor, Melbourne “I loved every minute of this enlightening and empowering workshop. Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to the crystal classes. Hurry back!” Wendy Davidson, Naturopath, Fish Creek, Victoria “Wonderful experience. As a healer and musician I found it filled the gaps I’ve pondered for a long time. It is the future healing – sonics, Had my heart cleared and opened forever. Met some lovely people to share the path with . . . happy trails Susie. Soothingly subtle and satisfying soul energies will resonate as evidence for true pilgrimages . . . thank you! Tim Healy, Healer and Musician, Port Willunga, South Australia “I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful and enlightening workshop. I truly feel inspired and hope to see you again soon.” Leanne Tatham, University student, Sydney, New South Wales “Thank you for an inspiring 2 days. I feel my vibrations have been lifted!” Sylvia Strike, Sydney, New South Wales "I have embraced the sound & felt the energy of pure love & light. Many thanks Susie." Jill Casteleijn, Lecturer & Practitioner of Aromatherapy, Gold Coast “The weekend retreat was a wonderful, soulful way of connecting with others and sharing a gentle, peaceful and sacred experience.” Elizabeth Trnka – Masseuse & Reiki Therapist - Hobart |
