From primordial silence, Life as we know it begins as a single note: in the beginning is the Word. Alive in our world of time, space, duality, and mortality, each note, each life, unfolds into its own unique melody. These melodies are the stories of our lives, intertwined, rising, falling, until each slows and softens and returns to simplest harmony, then finally again to the Unity from where it arose.

Along the way, we sometimes fall into forgetfulness of our true nature, and into disharmony—and we find ourselves anxious, distressed, or ill. Shabah is a practice of prayerful silence and sacred sound that brings forth  the peace at our core; it reharmonizes what has become disharmonized. It is helpful to anyone who finds themselves in such a place; it is also a support to those nearing the end of life, as they begin to remember who they are, and the peace and boundless love within which our lives come and go.

Jeff offers Shabah at clients’ homes and care facilities, at the Center for Spiritual Living in Palm Springs, and at his high desert studio (opening soon.)
