"Hi everyone. I'm Susie Nelson-Smith"
I am dedicated to teaching and promotion of Crystal Sound therapy and especially the playing of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls as a way of spread wellbeing. Connecting the heart and mind, activating the highest octave within is the path I chose for myself and for all those who chose to join me, in my “Path of the Heart” courses, events, workshops and activities.
This is site is full of activities and events that I run, sometimes on my own, but often with fellow spirits. I am especially proud to teach a Certificate IV course in Crystal Sound Therapy. Each year, pick somewhere new in the world. See below for this year's destination."

The Crystal Sound and Light Institute
I want to share my understanding of the power of Sacred Sound and Crystal Energy, so I have created this institute to develop unique, accredited courses and workshops in many specialist subjects.
I provide easy access to everything you will need to explore the exquisite world of crystal singing bowls, their pure vibrational tones and the wonder of the mineral kingdom.
The pathways to understanding
In all of my courses you will find an atmosphere of trust and love. I honour what you bring with you and I help facilitate you moving forward onto the next octave and deeper connection to your inner knowing and authenticity.
I have created two ways for you to explore the world of sacred sound, crystals and crystal healing.

Certification
For those with the drive to delve deeply into this complex and deeply transformational discipline, I have created the most detailed and comprehensive International Crystal Sound Therapy course available. There are two levels – the 1st is the Certificate IV and the 2nd the Diploma. The Certificate IV is for those who wish to work as a professional Crystal Sound Therapist with crystal singing bowls or to personally obtain this level of skill and knowledge.
The Diploma is for those who wish to extend their knowledge and skill into the realm of innovation, creativity and an even higher professional level of expertise. I teach the training and study program regularly in locations in Australia and around the world. As a result of undertaking this process, many students have created successful businesses based on the model taught here, and others have found the personal and spiritual transformation an end in itself.
Workshops and events
The second approach allows a more casual exploration through workshops and events.
The workshops are participatory and always fun. I regularly stage events where you are welcome to come along and soak up the energy, learn some fundamentals, experience shifts and changes and enjoy deep and peaceful meditations.
Very soon I will have online courses available for streaming. Currently on the drawing board are stand alone courses in Crystal Healing using crystals and gems and in Crystal Sound with crystal singing bowls.

What past students have said about our workshops
" I got so much out of the retreat, it felt like an opportunity to receive, receive, receive... I was able to really connect with a deeper part of myself and remember who I am and what really makes me come alive with passion & purpose, in particular, working with the elementals, the tree beings . . . as well as the magical crystals. I had such a lovely & memorable time with you all. Thank you."

“Crystal Sound Therapy” with crystal singing bowls“
The Crystal Sound Therapy retreat and course, held in Avebury and Glastonbury has been a life changing opportunity for me. While I didn’t know what lies ahead, I felt intuitively to come to learn this amazing work, to change myself and I now want to take my knowledge further into the world. Seeing the transformation in all of our group, shows me the magic we now hold. We have built a lifelong new friendship circle. Thank you Susie for being the changemaker, sharing your deep love for the healing powers of our crystal bowls. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

“What an AMAZING 2 weeks in COSTA RICA. The course was just divine, so much information, but when delivered, shown, and then practiced it became clear and easy. I can honestly say, I have never had such a profound healing as when I was a client in a practice session! I can’t wait to become proficient at this modality. Sound has been in my practices (Reiki and Heart Resonance and Tantra) for only a short while but blends seamlessly and enhances everything. I LOVE THIS COURSE!”

Through her compassionand kindness, she guides you on a magical journey with the crystal bowls whereyou can’t help but fall even more in love with the sounds, vibrations andhealing effect. Susie is inspiring in the way she lives her life. And I lovehow her love and knowledge for the crystal bowls shines through in everythingshe does. It’s opened my heart up and brought through my child like qualities.I have never laughed, smiled and felt as connected as this. I am so grateful forall that she has taught me in how to live my life and how to share thisbeautiful gift to the world.”

It was Susiethat created this beautiful space daily. Thank you.”

Music and performance
For 23 years I have been playing and working with crystal singing bowls.
Performing music for me has both a spiritual and therapeutic reward, aside from the pure, concentrated, immediate pleasure of performing for both me and the audience. I have performed in many places around the world inside and out and under many different circumstances.
During this time, I have also recorded four CDs of my music with the principle aim to spread the therapeutic and soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls to a wider audience. I have even experimented with online streaming of performance and ringtones.

My music for sale
I have created four CDs to date, designed to bring the harmonising, balancing sonic energy of Crystal Sound to your home.
Crystal Alchemy CD
Susie's latest CD - The deep pulsing vibrations of drums and tinkling bells and cymbals merged magnificently with the celestial sounds of crystal singing bowls to create a deeply resonating sound healing journey. It was my heart’s delight to collaborate with my brother Master Percussionist David Jones, a beloved kindred spirit.
Opening the heart to JOY
The powerful sound waves emitted by the quartz crystal produce overtones that have resonant and healing properties unlike anything else you have ever heard or felt. The journey can be experienced again and again each time taking you deeper, expanding your consciousness and connecting you with all things everywhere in a resonance of JOY and love.
Opening the heart to LOVE
The beautiful sounds of 18 frosted, clear and rose quartz crystal singing bowls create a soundscape that powerfully transforms feelings and memories of separation and sadness to feelings of unity and happiness. In this state of harmony we can more easily remember our connection to Spirit and actively embrace Love in all its aspects.
Opening the heart to COMPASSION
The harmonic tones of the crystal bowls take you on an inner journey to the place you call peace. The sacred sounds bring you into a state of harmony and balance where your mind and body can experience stillness.
Listen to samples of each one here.
Other musical activities
We celebrate 10 years of singing beside the bedside for those on the threshold of life and death, December 2018. We rehearse weekly in Leichhardt and regularly sing in groups of 3 and 4 beside the bedside in nursing homes, palliative care hospitals and private homes. We welcome new members. Our style of singing which is soft and soothing is called “kindness made audible”.
I am involved with a Special Needs orphanage in Phnom Penh Cambodia after the CST class of 2014 played the crystal bowls for the children as our Heart Project that year.
I have created a series of ringtones that you can download and donate to the orphanage. Watch this space!
Dance teacher, Sue Andersen and I collaborated with 2 workshops in 2018 and will continue bringing crystal singing bowls, deep relaxation and focussed meditation to the 5Rhyhms dance experience during 2019.
Thoughts and insights
Aside from my “path of the heart” role as one who disseminates the knowledge of crystal sound therapy and crystal healing, I have many other activities that I am passionate about.
There are other stories and experiences in my life that have afforded me the opportunity for reflection, insight and some wonderful adventures.
I am just back from an incredible adventure in the mystical heart of England
Teaching Crystal Sound Therapy in one of the great spiritual centres of the world was a wonderful experience and a fifteen night adventure into the soul, both mine, my students and the soul of ancient Albion.
