Bruce Manaka

Bruce Manaka, author of "The Alchemy of Bliss" and "Flights of a Runaway Monk" spent 19 years in a monastery, living a life of meditation and contemplation. He is also an artist, musician and founder of the "Ecstatic YOU!" Vocal Resonance Program.

In his therapeutic sound work, he uses an ancient vocal technique that awakens creativity and the "Bliss Response" in the body. He experientially shows how sounds and their overtones can create positive and profound changes on all levels.

Through his writings, Bruce endeavors to share how the voice (and their overtones) can be a direct path to healing of body, mind and soul through the vibratory alignment that occurs when it is focused with powerful intent.

He shows how the overtones of the voice can serve as a doorway to explore realms of unlimited creativity, vocal power, and inner wisdom. Through resonance and vibration, the wave forms and harmonics created by the voice helps return us to a state of our natural rhythm and frequency.

"The experience of Bliss is like liquid light flowing through the energetic field of the body. It is nectar-like and can be moved/pushed/pulled through the spine and the rest of the body." (from "The Alchemy of Bliss - Ecstatic Awakenings With Kundalini")

Bruce's primary approach is through the use of sounds and their overtones. All that is required is an open heart and deep listening. Sound (vibration) provides a powerful entryway to realms of sublime beauty and bliss.

The simple explanation of this process is this: following sensations/vibrations in the body to deeper and deeper levels of subtlety. It is all a play and dance of subtlety! From that place of exquisite sensitivity, we have direct access to the Ocean of Creativity!

Bruce's art, music and writings are all sourced in the connection that he feels with the exquisitely subtle sensations that flow deliciously in the spine.

If you are frustrated by the lack of depth and joy in your meditations, if you have been "practicing" for years and still find yourself unable to connect with the subtle spinal currents, Bruce can help you experience the deeply creative and ecstatic realms.
