Alexandre Tannous podcast interview: the true master of sound meditation

March 7th, 2019 / Interview, Podcast.

“The healing power of sound comes from harmonic sounds, and create an impact on the heart, in consciousness“ – Alexandre Tannous.

I met Alexandre Tannous thanks to Valentino and Eric. Both of them, in April, told me about him and his work in a way that they had never described someone before. That caught my attention. A few months later I had the opportunity to meet him in person and attend a workshop and one of his private sound meditation (as Alexandre calls them), it was in Ibiza, in July. And it was one of the most beautiful life experiences of my life. When I finished, I wrote about the experience, you can read about it here.

First, it was a 9-hour workshop on harmonic sounds, ancestral music, ethnomusic, life, transformation, science, philosophy, and shamanic cultures, and everything learned in these almost 30 years of research. Then a sound meditation session of nearly 8 hours. In the end, I spoke with Alexandre and asked if he would like to participate in my podcast in an interview in English. He answered yes, and then we set a date.

“Everyone can do what I have done, but they have to put all the effort, time and love that I have put in.“
