Faye plays the gongs intuitively and is guided by the Akashic Record keepers to play the sounds most beneficial for the group in front of her. She has played gongs in the Temple of Sound for The International Sound Therapist Association, at the Annual Coptic Conference in Tennessee and Virginia, Chattanooga chapter of The Institute Noetic Sciences, Southwest Dowsing Conference and Way of the Lotus Flower Retreats with Ellie Drew, as well as many local venues. She plays Paiste Gongs to create a space for wholeness. The vibration and sound of the gong is organic, deep and nurturing. The primordial tones build upon each other and evolve on their own, producing a sea of sound that is both timeless and alive. The sound can be heard with the ears and felt in the body at the deepest cellular levels. The gongs and other sound healing modalities also affect the energy fields of the human's physical and etheric bodies. Sound finds energy blockages in the cells of the body, using sound vibration, and when found, transforms them with the same vibrations into more beneficial energy. Within this vibrational experience, cleansing, releasing, healing and harmonizing on all levels often occur . http://www.touchstonevibrations.com/
