Hi Dave,
I am new to Shakuhachi. Could you explain to me what Yuu and Hochico are
that you mentioned in your response?
I just joined the list, and recently got a 1.8 from Monty. My interest are
in the use for healing and meditation. I make Native American Style flutes by
hand and use them in the hospital where I volunteer to do sound healing work
with patients to relieve stress, lower pain, and help them heal themselves. I
work with sound/energy/vibrations including tingshas and singing bowls. I
recently retired and have been able to expand into more important things. A year
ago I could not get a sound out of a shak, but this year a little voice told
me I could now play and thats one more thing I am doing.
I do have a question, if anyone can help, related to the Komuso wandering
monks that played healing songs for people. May be there is no longer
information available. Did the Komuso play certain songs with a set healing intent and
were certain songs used because of there tonal quality affect? Is there
information on the history and intent of these songs?
Thanks, Malcolm CT NAFlute Circle/ player/ maker/ sound therapy
Just an additional note. I just got back from the Flute Spring ( an East
coast gathering of NA flute makers and players held every spring). In addition
to the NA players, we had a shak play (not counting myself) and a number of
individuals involved in healing work.
