What is shamanic sound healing?  Aloha, Im Rasa Priya and I am a shamanic sound healer.  What makes my style of sound healing unique is the blending of mantras, chants, world instruments, binaural beats, quantum healing and of course gongs and bowls.  Please visit my website mauisoundhealing.com and YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjNWWjtk6iLdCLrarEeD9hw) to preview my work.

Meet Rasa Priya-

Rasa Priya is a unique sacred sound alchemist who has studied the healing arts for more than 30 years.  His approach is original, artistic and beautifully creative.  He combines spirituality, quantum healing, mindfulness, science, art, and various styles of music in order to create a vibrationally sacred space for a deep healing  journey.  Many who experience Rasa's work, have transformed their lives through self realization, self acceptance, self love, and healing from old wounds.  

Roots-

As a child, Rasa grew up in an abusive home and sought playing music as a way to escape, a safe place for self expression.  Early on, he was recognized by his music teachers as gifted and was even featured in a public performance after only one month of instruction.  As a young teen Rasa struggled to find his way in the world, troubled by the ways of the human condition and the state of world affairs.  After some time, Rasa eventually turned to spirituality as a way to heal his internal conflict.  Combining music and spirituality seemed like a perfect match.  Music allowed the freedom of creative exploration and expression, beyond the rigid constraints of his limited conditioning and perception.  

​Healing Journey-

Rasa's desire for service led him into healthcare where he earned degrees in respiratory therapy and nursing.   As a healthcare worker, he discovered the relationship between wellness and internal conflict.  He noticed how much perspective and thoughts influence body chemistry.  Rasa was often frustrated with the superficial approach and limitations of western medicine.  "In western medicine we mostly treat symptoms.  Rarely do we address the root causes of suffering", Rasa explains.  Searching for answers, both professionally and personally, Rasa journeyed to India where he stayed in temples, studying meditation, spirituality, and music related to spiritual cultivation.  Rasa's interest in spirituality and music continued and he created a kirtan (chanting) band, Jivatma, and ended up playing mostly for small gigs and festivals.  After many years, Rasa left the healthcare industry and devoted himself fully to his life long dream of music and healing.  

​Shamanic Initiation-

Rasa began having unusual experiences as a child.  His parents recall him seeing and speaking to a being that they could not see, but thought of it as a creation of a normal childhood imagination. By age 7, Rasa had a series of dreams and visions that appeared other worldly.  Many of the things he saw he could not understand at the time, he could not make sense of things...until now.  "In one vision, an entity with white light as a face showed me the future.  At the time I thought he was Jesus. In this vision, people were projecting their fear onto one another, striking out at each other" Rasa said.  He points out that although this concept is easily understood at present, he had no idea what this meant as a child.  Rasa shares that he was shown how he came from source and that he had to pass through some kind of dense layer in order to manifest into this material world.  Another vision came many years later, when Rasa was visited by six light beings.  They told him they were neither male or female, and that he was really a part of their family.  As many of us do, Rasa set these experiences aside and carried on with his life, not really knowing what to do with the information, or if it was even real.  Feeling a deep internal call, he moved to Maui where his life dramatically transformed.  He engaged in deep forms of spiritual practice, became a student of the Vedas, studied massage and reiki, and explored with various plant medicines.  Many of these practices revealed his natural relationship with energy and healing.  

​Maui Sound Healing-

Maui Sound Healing is the creation of Rasa Priya and Sarah Sundari.  Their unique approach and eclectic style take the listener deep within, a truly healing experience.   They offer private sound healing sessions, shamanic (shadow work) sessions, and retreats on the island of Maui. 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Marking Veterans Day: At First Light Recounts Astonishing Acts of Bravery on “the Forgotten Front” in Southern Europe in World War II

“Near the end of the war, a courageous young US Army officer, Phil Larimore, is given an almost impossible clandestine mission — to find Hitler’s hidden Lipizzaners so they can be saved. Don’t miss this heartwarming true story of a great American hero.”

— Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, U.S. Army (Ret.)

Colorado Springs CO, December 15, 2022 — Lieutenant Philip Larimore was one of the youngest front-line officers who fought in Southern Europe during World War II as a teenager, but it wasn’t until he had been married for 50 years and his children were grown that he spoke candidly for the first time about his extraordinary encounters and achievements.

The youngest-ever graduate of the U.S. Army’s Officer Candidate School and one of the most decorated front-line junior officers in the war, Larimore commanded a front-line platoon, shot snipers out of trees from 100 yards away, won a steeplechase with a Nazi officer in Czechoslovakia, completed a clandestine mission to save Lipizzaner horses from Hitler, became one of the youngest Company Commanders in the war, along with developing a friendship with President Truman and playing bridge with then-General Eisenhower — among many other almost Forest-Gump-like exploits. 

At First Light: A True World War II Story of a Hero, His Bravery, and an Amazing Horse, by Philip Larimore’s son Walt Larimore (with co-author Mike Yorkey), recounts Philip Larimore’s mischievous early years, his banishment to the Gulf Coast Military Academy and his astonishing acts of bravery during World War II. He fought 413 days straight, was wounded seven times, and was awarded seven purple hearts, three of which he turned down because he didn’t feel the wounds were significant enough.

“He never talked about those medals; he never talked about those battles,” Walt Larimore said during a recent interview. “And a lot of the men were like that. They fought for freedom; they fought for liberty. But when they came home, they wanted to live life.”

At First Light concludes with Philip Larimore’s heroic post-war battle with the U.S. War Department over its policy of not allowing amputee officers to continue in the Army. The final courtroom testimony, uncovered in the U.S. National Archives, reads like the chilling trial scene between the characters played by Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson in the movie, A Few Good Men. 

The details of Philip Larimore’s exceptional military career, including interactions with Winston Churchill, General George Patton, and General Lucian Truscott, and his role in a top-secret mission that led to saving the world-famous Lipizzaners all remained uncovered until the research and publication of At First Light. The book has been praised as being “a riveting story that rivals Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken,” and “a combination of Band of Brothers and War Horse.”

Gen. David H. Petraeus, U.S. Army (Ret.) four-star general, former Director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and former Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan wrote: “This story is extraordinary: an almost forgotten hero, tough combat, tragic sacrifice, gripping aftermath, a marvelous horse, and an astonishing ending. Don’t miss reading this remarkable book.”
