I am an extremely sound oriented person. When my hearing was tested it was beyond the normal human range. This can be painful in a noise polluted world, as well as thrilling in a world that is always vibrating and singing. When I lived in the rainforest's of Australia I heard sound emanating from everything around me: trees, rocks, and earth. I don't mean the actual voices of birds, or water over rocks. I speak of another level of sound. Everything around me was "singing" or giving off beautiful sound (energy or vibration). The trees were both harmonic and discordant. I have tried to convey both sounds in this video titled, "Do Trees Sing?"

(Excerpt from my book: "Naked in Eden") I'd hiked into the rainforest to try and sort through my fears, but in the company of the trees my mind wandered, aimless and dreamy. The longer I sat in the circle, the more the light began to diffuse and grow soft. I shook my head to clear it, but the leaves continued to blur into glowing green. I could've sworn I heard music, the exultation of a thousand angels."

Some nights in the rainforest I heard the stars. I felt so bathed in sound that I began to dream music. I connected to the vibrating, ecstatic energy all around me. In my open state, energy passed right through me. As it passed through I heard it, felt it, and literally resonated with it. I aligned my vibration with the forest world in which I lived.

After this experience I no longer saw the world or myself as solid. I am an energetic being. The more open I became, the more vibration permeated me. All that energy was merging and speaking with itself and with me. This merging of energy (or vibration) allowed me to intimately know what it feels like to be a rock, a tree, the earth, the stars, a bird, and so on. This is still true today, even with what we call "inanimate objects". I feel my living room chair, my car, a plastic pen, or my camera.

The trees, rocks, planets, stars, and all life are always speaking to each other, and to you and me. Like us, the trees communicate every emotion: love, joy, fear, anger, pain, ecstasy, sorrow, and more. I often felt them transmuting all earthly feelings into Love. No matter what emotion I felt, none were good or bad, none were judged. Earth transformed them all into Love. I stood in the midst of a great conversation, sometimes angelic, and sometimes hauntingly discordant, sometimes both at once. Atoms, Earth, Moon, Sun, planets, stars, and beyond are always balancing their vibration, bringing themselves into harmony.

The recording I shared here is of sounds I made in an empty stairwell (natural acoustics). I tried, as best I could, to recreate the sounds I heard while living in the Australian rainforest, especially from the trees. In this four track recording I recorded track one, listened to it through headphones while recording track two, then three and four. Each time I focused on my connection to trees and felt their vibration pass through me. I play back all tracks to you as they were recorded. No effects have been added. At times you may hear sounds that do not sound human; they are overtones. This recording is best listened to with your eyes closed so as to feel the sound. Sound can effect the body, so after listening please stand, stomp your feet, clap your hands, and shout "Ho! Ho! Ho!" before driving, using knives, or operating machinery, etc. Sounds can create what some call an altered state.

Much love,
Robin
