Complementary practice
Sound healing is not a substitute for medical treatment. It should complement, not replace, other therapies or treatments.

About me
Hello, my name is Alex - I am a sound artist, singer-songwriter also known as Wild Anima. I make ambient music with plants.
I have trained in the art of sound healing at the Académie Française de Sonothérapie and I have been learning to read tarot intuitively for the past 4 years.
I have been practicing Tibetan Buddhism for more than 10 years with various Tibetan Buddhist masters and have been learning healing practices and meditation from the Tibetan Bön lineage with Tenzin Wangyal.
If you’d like to know a bit more about my work and philosophy I invite you to read this interview:

My approach
My approach is woven around what I call the ecology of emotions. A way of learning to better manage our emotional states by taking care of our environment and cultivating our personal connection to our inner nature. I like to connect practices around heart coherence, the music of plants and the sound vibrations of the gong in which I was trained by l’acamdérie de sonothérapie.
The “heart sense”
According to herbalist, poet and philosopher Stephen Harrod Buhner, the organ of our heart is not only dedicated to pumping blood in our body, it also has a more subtle function. That of managing our electromagnetic field in relation to our environment and that of the Earth. The heart acts as an oscillator allowing us to transmit and receive information from our surroundings through our emotions.
Scientific experiments have shown that “the electromagnetic field of the heart is 5000 times more powerful than that created by the brain”. The heart is a nervous system in its own right which therefore acts as a sort of sixth sense: the heart sense, or “Aesthesis”, the sense of feeling, also linked to intuition.
Ref. “The secret teachings of plants”, Stephen Harrod Buhner
Heart Coherence
When the nervous system of our brain is in coherence with that of our heart, we can find more clarity, peace and our emotional intelligence allows us to make better decisions for ourselves and our environment.
The HeartMath Institute in the United States has been conducting several researches for more than 30 years on the beneficial effects of practicing heart coherence and the positive impact that it produces on our planet and the ecosystem in general.
Healing music
Here is an album of meditative music that I created for the HeartMath research institute for the Inner Balance coherence plus app. It is ideal music for meditation or to accompany your yoga sessions and other wellness practices:
Gong & plant music therapy how does it work?
Gong
The origins of the Gong go back to prehistoric times. According to ethnological research, it was developed by prehistoric men who used large metal plates to cook their food and after refining the object, it became the musical instrument and healing tool we know today. The practice of the healing gong has been used in different cultures around the world, in ancient Greece, Tibet and throughout the Asian continent. Today, it is taught in lineages such as Kundalini yoga or Tibetan Bön shamanic practices linked to sound therapy with Himalayan bowls.
Ambassador of peace
The Gong is called the "ambassador of peace"; its resonance quality allows our body and nervous system to relax deeply and find the ways of harmony. It is an instrument intimately linked to the heart and its soothing qualities.
The Sound of Emptiness
“The sound vibrations of the bowls break our ability to maintain our “ego boundaries”. When we release our sense of self, we enter the universal field of energy.” - Diane Mandle
PRAJNAPARAMITA - HEART SUTRA: “The perfection of (transcendent) wisdom.”
“EMPTITY IS FORM, FORM IS EMPTITY”
The practice of Gong is intimately linked to the “Heart Sutra”, a sacred text of Buddhism which brings together several sacred teachings on the true nature of reality and the essence of our existence. The ultimate realization of the emptiness present in all things.
Amplify the whole heart
“The gong is a true amplifier. It produces very complex simultaneous sounds ranging from infra-bass to ultra-sound, not perceived by the human ear, but acting positively on the energetic and physical bodies.” - Gong Holistika
So when we understand the very essence of the gong, we understand its intimate connection with our own heart. In turn, we can become gong and make our heart resonate with these beautiful teachings of peace and transcendence of reality with everything that surrounds us.
Deep rest
The benefits of Gong:
Stress reduction
stimulation of the glandular system
Facilitator to break emotional blockages
“The sound of the gong allows a cleaning of disturbing emotional memories, a harmonization of the energy bodies with the physical body, which allows the release of blockages and life to flow freely through our being. We then find our original state of joy, harmony, peace and love.
A true instrument of transformation, the gong allows us to completely unload what encumbers us internally, to give way to a deep feeling of peace and serenity, a complete rebalancing and total relaxation.” - Gong Holistika
Plant Music Therapy
Plant music is a technological process that works with bioelectricity sensors and thus transforms the energy flow of plants into musical notes.
This technology was developed in the 1970s within the spiritual community of Damanhur in northern Italy. This community, recognized by the UN for its innovative research in ecology, has developed devices that can give a voice to plants and the nature that surrounds us in order to strengthen our connection to the Earth and our mutual well-being.
With this tool, we can observe that each plant has its own melody and reacts differently to its environment. This allows us to become aware of the living nature of plants and to create a form of dialogue with them.
The benefits of plant music therapy
Being in contact with nature is scientifically proven to have therapeutic effects on our health. Plant Music improves well-being through a form of music therapy generated by plants
“All living beings, including plants, emit information, electromagnetic fields, waves. Thanks to their sensitivity to their environment, plants emit a personalized and unique melody audible to the human ear thanks to a device transforming their electrical activity into a melody. They play bio-compatible melodies (extracts of proteodies), this plant melody thus fills the deficiencies of your metabolism, accompanies your healing process and relieves your physical, emotional and energetic disorders. Plant music diffuses these melodies deep into your cells. These tools, both vibrational and physical, act on all levels, allow you to relaunch your natural regeneration and find the essence of your life.” - Yin Yang Harmony
The body of light: inner photosynthesis
When I welcome you for a healing session with the music of plants, I guide you in a sound meditation inspired by the Tibetan Bön practice called “The body of light”. It is an ancestral meditation practice taught in the Buddhist Bön tradition of Tibet which consists of relieving the wounds and pains of our physical body, our speech and our mind or our identification of suffering with our ego. Thanks to this practice we promote the letting go of all the limiting thoughts that weigh us down to find more lightness and bring light back into all parts of our being. Thus thanks to a form of inner photosynthesis we soothe the wounds of our psyche by visualizing light that comes to nourish our inner metaphorical plants and helps them to “grow” to strengthen our energy field and find a symbiosis of well-being in harmony with our inner nature and the nature that surrounds us.
It strengthens our connection to the Earth and fills us with the feeling of unconditional love and warmth of life energy. What Tibetans call Tsewa.

What is therapeutic Tarot?
Tarot is an ancestral tool that dates back to ancient Egypt. It has been used for thousands of years for divination and seeking guidance. Tarot is like a book that writes itself as we spread the cards. It is an initiatory journey to find our own light through the fog of our consciousness.
Therapeutic tarot or psychological tarot is different from divinatory tarot. I will not read your fortune but rather help you find the answers to your questions within yourselves.
Therapeutic tarot is done with a psychological approach using symbols to access the subconscious and untangle the emotional clutter that prevents us from enjoying our general well-being.
It is a tool that allows us, through the symbols of the archetypes that are presented to us, to access our subconscious and reveal the messages that we have within us. We can thus find more clarity in our thoughts and emotions to find solutions that inspire us and give us courage.
During the consultation I suggest you draw three cards that represent the past, the present and the future or “the problem”, “the solution” and “how to get there”. Sometimes it is a mixture of both. We will take the time together to let yourself be imbued by the illustrations of the cards you have drawn to reveal the messages that are revealed by the symbols of each card.
Therapeutic tarot does not replace therapy with a psychologist but can be an alternative for moments of doubt that do not require psychotherapy strictly speaking.
