The practice

About Tropical Sevens

Tropical Sevens is a sound healing practice devoted to the seven chakras — bowls in the hand, mudras on the knees, yoga in the body, and a belief that water is listening.

The name is simple: tropical, because this work is warm, lived, and close to water; sevens, because there are seven gates, seven tones, seven mudras that make a complete circuit. Sessions happen in person and virtually. The portraits on this site are the practice itself — one bowl, one center, one evening at a time.

We stand with Masaru Emoto's photographs of frozen water. Love grew crystals. Contempt grew wreckage. If that is even partly true, then the way we sound — and the way we speak to our own water — is not a small thing. That is the whole of Tropical Sevens.
