Phil Larstone

To transcend patterns of self-perception that sabotage our aspirations, we often need a new lense for seeing ourselves, a fresh perspective on how our reality and ultimate potential are configured. Then we can refine our strategy to move forward on our journey, to enable the surrender of what isn't working and the embrace of what feels empowering and enlivening. Phil's personal quest for realization has included life-long investigations into fields of self-development, human consciousness, and wisdom traditions. His capacity to synthesize information and "connect the dots" to further his own understandings of the human condition and the nature of creation have given rise to personal revelations and unique ways of communicating concepts that can distill what can seem like a complex configuration of disparate elements into a succinct unifying essence. Phil received his yoga teacher training from the Sat Yam School of Yoga Studies in 2014 and received his permaculture certification in Hawaii in 2001. " My investigation into sound and music is ongoing and is foundational to my life’s journey. Nothing sparks my curiosity more than the mystical physics of sound and music, and nothing moves my soul more deeply than the profoundly nuanced articulation of musical mastery. Sound is frequency, a vast realm of vibrational possibilities that encompasses all phenomena, the universal language of creation and manifestation. The codings contained in the mantras and music of wisdom traditions such as yoga communicate directly with the field of consciousness through the primacy that they share. The use of voice in mantra practices and devotional singing brings the mind into active-receptive whole brained and heartfelt unison. As we summon our totality of self to deeply listen and potently vocalize, as we simultaneously sense and invoke, the inward meets the outward, and the soul meets the deity."
