TranceSonics

The vital link between sound and hypnosis.  

All of my work is focused on personal healing - spiritual, emotional, mental and physical - and on accessing greater guidance and connection.  We are all related.

The main areas in which I have explored and trained are shamanic sound healing, Ericksonian hypnosis, Neurolinguistic Programming, and sacred ceremony. I offer comprehensive training programs in these areas in addition to personal guidance.

    May 31 - June 1, 10am - 5pm

    A weekend retreat at The Nest

    Shotwell Rd., Woodstock, NY

    Increasingly, massage therapists, Reiki practitioners, hypnotherapists, yoga therapy instructors, and others in the healing arts have been intrigued by the idea of incorporating sound into their existing practice.

    Every culture, ancient and modern, has incorporated song/chant, drums and rattles, and sacred singing metals in their religious and healing ceremonies. The recognition of the power of certain sounds to affect consciousness was at the heart of rituals throughout history. I have been exploring sound as a healing/meditative modality for 4 decades. In the past 25 years, this field has expanded exponentially with a considerable uptick in the number of people offering experiences and training in sound healing. Learn practical techniques as well as theory from my decades of experience in these two power-packed days.

    • Vowel sounds as taught by Native American mystic Beautiful Painted Arrow 

    • “Magical” voice, otherwise known as harmonic or overtone singing 

    • Use of “sacred singing metals”… Himalayan bowls, tingshas, gongs 

    • Drum and rattle for “Shamanic Journeying” 

    • Tuning forks - Both weighted and unweighted forks, including Brain Tuners 

    • Overview of brain waves - what they are, and how sound entrains them

    My offerings:

    Thursday, August 7, 9am - 6pm

    “What Is Your B.S.? - Exploring Belief Systems Through Hypnosis and NLP”

    This one-day, pre-conference class must be registered for separate from the 3-day conference (Fri-Sun). I will be going over concepts presented in my new book of the same title. 

    Our perceptual reality is shaped by our beliefs. They are the “lenses” through which we view people and events. Basic and simple beliefs are always rooted in a deeper structure of “belief systems.” By uncovering often unconsciously developed and currently held beliefs systems, we can help our clients to have more choice in whether to keep them - if they are useful and empowering; or to change them if they are not.

    Demonstrate how to deconstruct beliefs • Ask clarifying questions • Explain the nature of conflicting belief systems • Show how to use story and anecdote to illustrate beliefs • Demonstrate untangling "nested" beliefs • Trace the possible ancestral roots of beliefs

    Saturday, August 9, 11am

    We will gather together to explore: Who or what is a healer? What causes wounds? How do we move from wounding to a life of meaning and purpose in service to others?

Sound Healing


We are rhythmic creatures.

" ...the ear, the vibration sensor, serves to charge the organism with electrical potential. It is thanks to the ear that external stimuli are able to charge the cortical battery." - Alfred Thomatis, M.D.

Group healing energy is powerful.

Peter Blum offers different formats of workshops/retreats, including shamanic journeying, sound baths, TranceSonics lecture / performance, hypnosis training, as well as private hypnosis sessions.
