Ishkara Heqwabti
Ishkara, based in New York, USA, is a 4th generation musician, and sound healing artist celebrated for her mystical voice and music that floats the heart. Through her music and offerings, she nurtures the heart and the Earth and holds space for inner reflection.
Her inspiration flows from a love for the Earth’s wild landscapes, from mountains to rivers, oceans, and sacred sites. Creatures, celestial bodies and the wisdom of elders and Ancestors also guide her path. Ishkara continues to grow and learn from her sound mentors, spiritual teachers, elders and the indigenous wisdom keepers her Ancestors have blessed her with, exploring how all people may awaken and heal our connection with Self, Nature, and our Divine origins through sacred sound.
What Is Sound Healing?
Sound healing is a therapeutic practice that uses the vibrational power of sound to restore harmony and balance within the mind, body, and spirit. This ancient healing modality taps into the transformative frequencies of instruments like crystal singing bowls, drums, gongs, tuning forks, and the human voice to create a deeply relaxing and meditative experience.
Through intentional sound vibrations, sound healing works on the principle of resonance, helping to clear energetic blockages, reduce stress, and promote emotional well-being. It aligns the body’s energy centers, (chakras), and supports a state of inner peace and equilibrium.
Modern research has shown that sound healing can lower heart rates, reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and even enhance creativity. Whether experienced in a group sound bath, a private session, or through personal practice, sound healing offers a powerful way to reconnect with your true self and invite healing on all levels.
