Peter Blum

For nearly four decades, Peter Blum has dedicated his work to two areas: neo-Ericksonian hypnosis and shamanic sound healing. His book TranceSonics—The Vital Link Between Sound Healing and Hypnosis (2018) showcases his groundbreaking work in both fields, exploring them individually and where they intersect.

Since 1993, Blum has been a Certified Instructor for the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), training and certifying hundreds in the art of hypnosis. In 1995, after studying the world's major spiritual traditions extensively, Peter was ordained as an Interfaith Minister in the Foundation for the Living Earth seminary program. He considers hypnotherapy to be a spiritual art form. His peers have honored him, and his prestigious awards include being inducted into the Hypnosis Hall of Fame in 2021 and a Lifetime Achievements Award from the National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists in 2023.

Since 1999, he has released eight "Sounds for Healing" recordings. Most of these recordings showcase the remarkable sounds of the Himalayan Singing Bowls, either as solo performances or in collaboration with other mesmerizing instruments, occasionally accompanied by spoken healing meditations. Peter has performed "Sounds for Healing" concerts and hosted workshops at various prestigious venues, including The National Guild of Hypnotists, the International Hypnosis Federation, The Omega Institute, The Abode of the Message, Menla Retreat Center, and numerous yoga studios across the U.S., the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe. In 2017, he had the honor of performing with his singing bowls at The United Nations in NYC.
