Welcome to Sonesha

Universal Definition of Sonesha:

"The Sound of Universal Consciousness"

Sanskrit Translation of Sonesha:

"A place of purity - as pure and precious as gold"

We would like to welcome each person joining us on this wonderful journey of learning and

enlightenment. It is such an exciting time to be alive, with so many changes happening all over the world. Over the last few years there has been a growing awareness and an increase in Spiritual Seeking. It was this yearning and hunger for knowledge that brought the Sonesha Academy about. Spiritual, philosophical and religious freedoms now allow us to make choices of free will. There has never been a better time to grow and enrich your life with metaphysics, meditation and natural and vibrational therapies.

Our Dedication to you: “Blessings to you, who choose to become One with the Source and bring an abundance of love, healing, peace, harmony and light to the Universe.”

Blessings and Abundance, SONESHA Sonette Schoeman

Mission Statement:

Sonesha is dedicated to the wellbeing of your Mind, Body, Soul and Spiritual Development with the

aim toward self-empowerment.

Who is Sonesha? Sonesha is the result of lifetimes of experience, study and practice by its founder, Sonette Schoeman, who enjoys and understands the power and importance of holistic wellbeing. Like everyone else she has suffered life's trials and tribulations, but has always gained strength from her belief in universal knowledge and higher consciousness. From her earliest memories she has had a natural affinity with the metaphysical and has always dedicated herself towards the pursuit of further knowledge and understanding in order to attain personal growth and self-healing. She strives and works at this to help others achieve the same.

Our Philosophy

Sonesha means:

(This is fully explained in Our Philosophy on www.sonesha.com.)

Sone: (Latin) sonus - a sound. Sone is a subjective unit of loudness, godlike. Sound is vibration. Vibration is energy and energy is the process of creation and change (evolution).

Sha: A letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, representing the consonant sound. The following meanings apply: Universal, root, God, One, the Almighty, as your, of you, monarch (leader), to rule, king, epithet of the gods. Sha is therefore universal, the root of everything, the root of or building block of languages, communication, life, energy, and vibration. Sha is a morpheme for person, thing, agent, together with. Sha has its earliest origins in Proto-Canaanite Shin and is linked closely to Shin's Greek equivalent: Sigma (Σ, σ). Sigma stands for "Sophrosyne“, the Greek Word meaning "Wisdom". Wisdom is defined as the knowledge gained over time, analysed and used with discernment. Wisdom is not merely information, but allows one to acknowledge information, consider its validity and relevance, and then incorporate it.

The numerological value of Sonesha equates to the number nine. Nine is spirit and therefore energy. Nine is release. After experiencing the world of material power in the Eight, Nine now knows that physical things are transitory and must be returned to the giver. Having learned that life is cyclical, nine gives back freely and without fear, those things it has gained so that the universe will be richer. Nine is the humanitarian carrying the light of wisdom.

Our Symbols Explained: The Phi spiral is the building block of all life and represents the manifestation of Spirit into physical form. This is the Secret to Creation and Evolution and DNA. The spiral represents a clear pathway always going higher and higher. Furthermore the spiral represents the ear and the human embryo.

The Lotus itself is a representation of Consciousness, self-realisation and enlightenment. The purple lotus in Buddhism represents extra terrestrial origins. The pink lotus symbolises love, peace and harmony and the white lotus purity.

Green is the colour of growth and healing; purple is spiritual development, self-realization and enlightenment; pink is healing, unconditional love, peace, harmony and selflessness; and white purity.

We believe that the universe is all encompassing and that there are universal laws that apply. Different cultures, religions and societies all have a part to play and have their rightful place in the Universe. We are living in an ecosystem and we simply have our role in this eco-system. We acknowledge that the Universe is abundant and we know that peace can be achieved through practicing kindness and compassion.

We acknowledge science and physics, but also the metaphysics, the energy of nature and Mother Earth and the Elemental energies at work.

We encourage the seeking of knowledge - if something has not been proven in a controlled environment, that doesn’t mean that it is not true, it just simply means that we have not found a successful way to test its existence.

We acknowledge energy as the original spark. We acknowledge and understand that due to cultural diversities, differences in the environment, and religious practices that this Energy has been given different names to make it comprehensible. We acknowledge the energy of Spirit. We acknowledge that Universal Life Force Energy is around us, in us and through us.

We believe in harmony, health and peace and that every living and non-living object were originally imprinted with the blueprints of perfection. We believe that this vibration or energy is a symphony of pure sound and that it can therefore be measured by numerical values as shown by Pythagoras. We acknowledge and take into account Sciences, Religions, Shamanism, Mysticism of Hermetics, Universalism and more. We also acknowledge the lost worlds, such as Atlantis and their knowledge, other solar systems and planets in our Universe. We acknowledge the great thinkers and Philosophers, such as Jesus, The Buddha, Confucius, Pythagoras, Da Vinci, Einstein, Edgar Cayce, to name but a few. We acknowledge the existence of intelligent life on different plains and in different dimensions.

Knowledge is true power and by using this knowledge and information from different cultures, religions and philosophies the full picture will eventually unfold, like puzzle piece that becomes a beautiful painting. Because different knowledge has been passed on to different peoples and nations, does not mean that it is only valid for that culture or religion, rather that it is simply a part of the bigger picture. By not excluding information, knowledge, so called cultural myths and methods, maybe we will truly come to know the answers to life’s many mysteries.

The entire world is One - one means together, in harmony and balance. However when this vibration becomes distorted, there are far reaching effects around the universe... the butterfly effect... cause and effect, consequences, karma.

Our Principles

Sonesha’s Principles to live by for a spiritually fulfilled life: Just for this moment, I will be happy and free. Just for this moment, I will be at peace and have harmony. Just for this moment, I will count my endless blessings. Just for this moment, I will live my life honestly. Just for this moment, I will honour all life forms. Just for this moment, I will show gratitude for my unlimited abundance. Just for this moment, I will have compassion and be an example of loving-kindness. Just for this moment, I will be still and find my true self.

About the Founder

Sonette Schoeman is an international teacher of meditation, metaphysics and natural and vibrational resonance therapies and a third generation metaphysician. Sonette has practiced meditation for decades and studied metaphysical subjects in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India and Australia.

Some of her teachers include: Master Yang, Qi Gong Feng Shui Master; Dianne Weinberger of the International Academy of Vibrational Therapies; Rev. Sarsha Carpenter of the Self-Empowerment Healing Centre; Doreen Virtue (B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in counselling psychology); Dr. Steven D. Farmer (B.A. in psychology, M.A. in Counselling Psychology, Ph.D.) and she attends teachings by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, on international visits as well as at the Main Temple, McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala, India.

Sonette was born in Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa and although she was brought up in a Christian household and community, life on the farm put her in close contact with the Earth and the local Zulu people. Their traditional beliefs of working in harmony with nature for health and healing and using a myriad of plants for remedies have impacted greatly on her life.

Having overcome life-threatening illnesses herself through communication with the Higher Spiritual realms, Sonette truly understands how important it is to have balance and peace on a daily basis. This is achieved through connecting daily with the still voice within and making time for what really matters, listening to what needs to be done and then actively doing and achieving this on a daily basis.

Sonette’s respect for cultural diversity, her passionate curiosity and search for knowledge in the spiritual, scientific and religious fields and the concern for planet Earth and her inhabitants is a commendable characteristic. This is like having one foot firmly planted in the spiritual realm and the other foot firmly planted in the material world.

“It is all about balance. The whole of the Universe and our entire planetary system is dependent on keeping this balance. It is a very fine balancing act to keep harmony between the opposing forces of yin and yang, male and female, day and night, spirit and reality.”

Sonette links cultures, philosophies and religions with present-day inhabitants across global boundaries. Sonette works intuitively with the ancient symbols that she either receives in dreams, visions during deep states of meditation, texts, scriptures and books. She has a hunger for learning what the ancient

cultures can tell us, through their non-linear forms of communication that is dependent on context and location: the dream languages; the myths; the legends; the tales; the scriptures and scrolls. All the mysterious overlapping symbols cave drawings, tales, scriptures and even scientific theories and advances found across the globe in different lands say that there is more going on than what meets the eye. There is a deeper, more basic form of communication, showing the inter-connectedness of all things.”

Sonette works tirelessly to resurrect the knowledge and truth found in the mysterious symbolism, ancient texts and modern day wisdom, in order to allow understanding and give deeper meaning to life for the many who seek this knowledge.

“Hopefully I am making some contribution to make the world a better and more peaceful place. All knowledge and energy had one point of origin. Some people call this the Big Bang, others Creation.

Energy is Consciousness. At the time of the Big Bang, this energy or consciousness was scattered through time and space into the Universal void and to the four corners of Earth. Our responsibility is to learn what we need to and share what we know to create Oneness again.

I believe that part of my purpose is to connect some of the dots and help bring the knowledge and information back together, a bit like building a jigsaw puzzle. Some of this energy (information, knowledge, consciousness) was scattered to each of the different races and tribes that existed and exist today. With whatever limited knowledge they received they built and formalised their societies, their religions, their cultures, their languages, their medicines, their sciences, etc.

We need to find these seeds of knowledge, which were planted amongst the different cultures, and find what connects people across time, culture and borders and build on this esoteric knowledge and ancient truths. There is definitely a greater plan at work. I am called to share these universal truths that were communicated across diverse ancient cultures, in order for all to understand the Universal message: We are One. Without the Other, One cannot exist. We are all parts of the Whole and in turn all of the individual parts still contain all the information of the Whole, this was encoded or embedded within.”

Sonette is a Master and Teacher of Sonesha Meditation, Reiki Master and Teacher of the Usui Shiki Ryoho System of Natural Healing, Karuna Reiki Practitioner, Crystal Therapist, Reflexology Practitioner, Past Life Regression and Time Line Therapist, Pranic Energy Therapist and an Advanced (AI) Angel Intuitive Practitioner.

Sonesha Academy of Meditation

Meditation

Meditation is the first step in a journey of self-discovery. It is a way of focusing the mind and stilling the endless mental chatter that saps our energy and creates stress.

Meditation is a practical aid to inner growth and positive personal development and a powerful tool to help create balance in our lives. It will allow you to access inner knowledge and help you create the life you want.

Used as a personal growth device, it nurtures a more positive attitude towards life at large. Meditation is a transforming process that can ultimately reach into every aspect of our lives.

Some of the benefits of Meditation are:

· Reduced tension, anxiety and stress · Lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels · Improved focus and concentration · Greater creativity · Balancing of emotions · Enhanced performance at work and play · Increased self-understanding · Self acceptance · More joy, love and spontaneity · Deeper sense of meaning and purpose · Total wellbeing

Sonesha Meditation

Unsure where or how to start? Allow Sonesha to guide you.

Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced, Masters

Over decades of practicing different meditation techniques, Sonette found that there was always something missing from different styles in order to make it a total practice or that you had to have a particular religious background in order to get the total benefit from particular meditation techniques.

Sonette believes meditation is universal and that the benefits should be accessible and enjoyed by people from all walks of life and backgrounds, regardless of health, fitness or age. As a result of this Sonesha Meditation was born and is still evolving today.

Sonesha Meditation combines techniques and styles which have been found to give the greatest benefits in the shortest period of time. Sonesha Meditation takes into account knowledge from ancient and modern techniques, such as Vajrayana (Tibetan Buddhist), Qi Gong, Zen, Taoist, Vipassana

(Insight or Mindfulness), Trataka, Chakra Meditation, Concentrative Meditation, Japa (mantra) Meditation, Jewish, Christian, Hindu and Sufi Meditation, Transcendental, Pranayama, Yoga Meditation (Kundalini, Raja, Kriya, Nidra, Sahaja), etc.

Sonesha Meditation incorporates techniques and information researched and studied by medical organisations and institutions, which are founded on scientific principles and practices. Through continuous research and study, the human race is only beginning to understand the many beneficial effects of meditation on the emotional, mental and physical states of being.

Sonesha Meditation comprises a syllabus of nine (9) levels. See the following for more information.

Sonesha Meditation - Level 1:

This is not hard and you have time to take notes in the class and experience the technique. The classes are kept small enough to make sure that participants receive individual attention. There is ample time to discuss what you experienced, where the blockages might have been and enough time for questions and answers. Also, if you experience any hiccups throughout the week with any technique learned, you can certainly contact us to discuss it in order for you to be able to move on to the new techniques the following week.

If you would like to attend the classes, but are unable to make the mentioned dates and times, let us know. More class dates and times will become available as the demand arises. Please contact us to express your interest.

If for any reason you cannot attend one of the classes on a particular day in level one, you can catch up with a class held on a different day or we can reschedule the class and let the other participants move on to the following week too.

Yantras and Mandalas

This hands-on workshop introduces you to sacred symbols, instruments, shapes and patterns referred to as yantras and mandalas, used to focus the mind. Create your own mandala and yantra and make creation part of your daily life again. Learn how to use yantras and mandalas to help you achieve focus in everyday life and find balance, peace and harmony.

The following is an extract from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Mandala (Sanskrit mandala "essence" + "having" or "containing", also translates as "circle- circumference" or "completion", both derived from the Tibetan term dkyil khor) is a concentric diagram having spiritual and ritual significance.

Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self,” and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness in personality. The mandala is a geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the Universe from the human perspective.

Mandalas may be employed for focusing attention; as a spiritual teaching tool; for establishing a sacred space; and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. According to David Fontana, its symbolic nature can help one "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises."

Yantra is a Sanskrit word that is derived from the root yam meaning to control or subdue or "to restrain, curb, check". Yantra are 'instruments', or more simply 'symbols', usually used to focus the mind. Traditionally they are used in Eastern mysticism to balance the mind or focus it on a spiritual concept. The act of wearing, drawing, or concentrating on a yantra is said to have spiritual or astrological or magical benefits.

This is an 8-hour (1 day) hands-on workshop for meditation. Everything needed for the elective is provided, including notes. Manual available for purchase on the day. Please bring your own lunch. Refreshments provided.

Sonesha Academy of Metaphysics Everything needed for the courses and workshops are provided, including workshop notes. Manuals are available for purchase on the day. Please bring your own lunch. Refreshments provided.

Metaphysics

Metaphysics is that which goes beyond science and physics, such as the nature of the world, our soul, Divine Spirit, etc. It can be divided into several parts: body, mind, spirit; the nature of God (Theology), man and the Universe (Cosmology); and the nature of being (Ontology). In other words this questioning the ultimate nature and meaning of existence through left brain thinking (logical thinking, analysis and accuracy) and right brain thinking (aesthetics, feeling and creativity).

Archetypes An archetype is an original model of a person after which others are copied or patterned. The origins of archetypes date back as far as Plato. Plato's ideas were pure mental forms that were imprinted in the soul before it was born into the world. They were collective in the sense that they embodied the fundamental characteristics of a thing. The use of archetypes to analyse personality was advanced by Carl Jung who suggested the existence of a kind of heritable racial memory comprised of collective human experiences. According to Jung archetypes are universal prototypes for ideas and may be used to interpret observations. Jung treated the archetypes as psychological organs, analogous to physical ones in that both are morphological constructs that arose through evolution.

Covered during the course:

· The main archetypes: The Self, The Shadow, The Anima, The Animus, The Persona

· The recurring archetypes: The Child, The Hero, The Great Mother

· Psychological analysis on the model of a person, personality or behavior. The use of archetypes to analyse personality

· The complex: The group of memories and interpretations associated with an archetype and lots more…

This is a 2-day course.

Ascended Masters

The Ascended Masters are Masters of Wisdom or "Mahatmas". They are enlightened beings who in past incarnations were ordinary humans, but who have undergone a process of spiritual transformation. The Ascended Masters learned the lessons of life during their incarnations and gained mastery over the limitations of the matter planes, balanced karma, and fulfilled their Dharma (Divine Plan). Ascended Masters are beings of unconditional "Divine Love" to all life and have united with their own "God Self," the "I AM Presence." The Ascended Masters serve as the teachers of mankind from the realms of Spirit and motivate spiritual growth.

It is a space solely devoted to the purposes of meditation, praying, to receive readings and healings or to write in your journal. It's your space to breathe and just let go!

The purposes of rituals are varied; they include compliance with religious obligations or ideals, satisfaction of spiritual or emotional needs of the practitioners, strengthening of social bonds, demonstration of respect or submission, stating one's affiliation, obtaining social acceptance or approval for some event, or sometimes just for the pleasure of the ritual itself. Rituals of various kinds are a feature of almost all known human societies, past or present.

A ceremony is an activity, infused with ritual significance, performed on a special occasion, such as the Celebration of life, a rite of passage in a human career, marking the significance of (for example): birth, initiation, puberty, graduation, marriage, death, burial or the Celebration of events. Other society-wide ceremonies may mark annual or seasonal or recurrent events like: vernal equinox, winter solstice, a weekly Sabbath day.

A ritual is not a ceremony, it is a conscious act performed to bring about a specific objective in everyday life. A ceremony usually involves more than one person and has complicated patterns and elaborate equipment.

Shamanism

Shamanism is based on the premise that invisible forces or spirits that affect the lives of the living pervades the visible world. Shamanism is a range of traditional beliefs and practices that involve the ability to diagnose, cure and sometimes cause human suffering by traversing the axis mundi and forming a special relationship with, or gaining control over, spirits. Shamanistic traditions have existed throughout the world since prehistoric times.

The word shaman literally means, “to know”, or “he or she who knows”. Shaman therefore means someone who knows, is wise, a sage, a person with knowledge of magical and other lore, and the ability to cure a person and mend a situation, one acting as a medium between the visible and spirit worlds, one who practices sorcery for healing or divination, a religious leader and healer. The essential characteristics of a shaman are the mastery of energy and fire as a medium of transformation. A

shaman understands that all things have a spirit. Shamans have been credited with the ability to control the weather, divination, the interpretation of dreams, astral projection, and travelling to upper and lower worlds.

Learn the ancient art of cleansing and consecrating space and the aura, using various techniques such as sage, sound, light etc. Space clearing is an extremely effective method for clearing and revitalising the energy in buildings, including schools, hospitals, offices and homes, as well as the subtle bodies. It has been proven that everything in the Universe is comprised of energy, constantly flowing, changing and affecting all areas of our lives. We leave an energy imprint on whatever we touch and wherever we go. Energy levels in the places we live, work, shop and socialise can have far reaching effects on our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Workshops and Courses in Vibrational Therapies

Vibrational Therapies

Vibrational Therapies are based on the Einsteinian paradigm (E=MC²) that energy and matter are dual expressions of the same universal substance. This universal substance is vibration (life force/primal energy). By realising that humans are beings of energy, vibrational medicine treats people with specialised forms of pure energy, to positively affect those energy systems that may be out of balance due to disease states. By re-balancing the energy fields and working on higher levels of consciousness, the subtle bodies, the chakras, meridians (nadi) and the physical biomolecular form that help to regulate cellular physiology, order is restored from a higher level of human functioning. Vibrational healers assist in correcting inner dysfunction by introducing lifestyle and mind-style changes, which may help to change negative habits and old perceptual patterns.

Reiki

What is Reiki? Reiki means “Universal Life Force Energy”. Reiki is an ancient Japanese art of gentle hands on healing. Reiki is non-invasive, gentle but powerful. The Usui system of Reiki was first developed in the 1920s and brought to the west in 1938. Reiki has since been passed on from Master to Student via attunements.

After receiving the necessary training and attunements, universal healing energy flows through the hands of the practitioner. The hands are then placed on various positions on the body corresponding to the chakras, promoting physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Reiki puts you in a state of total relaxation and loosens up blocked energy, allowing healing energy to flow in, which in turns speeds up the natural healing processes of the body.

Reiki is easy to learn and can be practiced by people of all ages. Reiki stands on its own as a healing practice and is widely accepted as a support for complementary and orthodox medicine.

The gift of Reiki will allow you to use universal healing energy anywhere, anytime, on yourself and on others, for the rest of your life. Become empowered and empower others!

Testimonials I thank the Gods for Sonette. I don’t think I could do justice to how much her healing has helped and changed my day-to-day life. I still cannot believe I have no pain. Her sessions are so calming and I always feel so safe and relaxed. I truly look forward to it every week.

Sonette always helps me to “work at my level” and try different techniques if I am ever having difficulty.

Wonderful! Crystal healing – sensational – feel the best I have ever felt afterwards! (I would like to have it twice a week).

Explanation at the beginning was clear, easy to understand and covered all necessary aspects of the course that followed.

Very informative classes, I enjoyed learning and being able to take things I learnt into my life. Environment is very soothing, calming and welcoming.

The environment is tranquil and welcoming and I look forward to coming each week. Exercises and methods given on a weekly basis to improve, enhance and make progress in my life.

Setting is really good, instruction and step-by-step teaching is 100%.

I have learnt heaps! In an easy comfortable way, the meditation techniques have enabled to be integrated into a busy lifestyle. Sonette was able to rationally explain feelings and occurrences during meditation. This was reassuring and encouraging, sharing these with the group.

Sonette is very knowledgeable in this field of meditation and self-development.

It is an absolute joy and pleasure. I eagerly look forward to attending all classes. It is such a fantastic space to be in. The maintenance program is easily incorporated into my daily life.

I recommend everyone to have a session with Sonette, whatever belief you have because it will enhance what you have now, it will fill up the gap and the space that you are lacking.

I was easily able to incorporate what I had learnt into my life regularly. I felt confident I understood the exercises and could do them myself at home.

We have been given all the tools; they will definitely be incorporated in my daily life. It’s been life- changing. Love the meditation sessions and enjoy going every week.

I have grown so much I no longer need anti-depressants and have learnt to accept, approve and love myself like I never have before. I have opened up and released fears. There isn’t anything I can’t discuss with Sonette, she’s fantastic.

Sonette is a wonderful, compassionate lady who truly gives her clients the time and makes her clients feel important, and if you need help throughout the week you are told you can call anytime. She is an amazing, warm, wonderful lady who made me feel welcome all the time.

I would recommend that everyone should attend her workshops. Sonette is very professional, calm, supportive and clear.

Loads of information. The class is very comfortable - I look forward to each week. Everything is provided.

Informative and healing. I thoroughly enjoy the sessions. It is enlightening on many levels.

Meditation is like finding a porthole to the higher self on a universal level. It’s finding “the self” and this in turn brings much love, light and abundance.

This was a very interesting session for me. I am feeling more at ease, more connected with the universe and more psychologically “ready” than I have before. Plus I am still pain free. It is truly amazing

The course exceeded my expectations. I’ve never seen so many crystals.

There was no need to ask questions as you explained everything to me in layman’s terms, as you knew I was not experienced.

I really enjoyed the workshop and look forward to many more classes in the future. You are so lovely. Thank you.

I enjoyed the course. Great energy! Sonette is always willing to share her knowledge and I found her to be a wonderful teacher.

“I hope you can join us on this journey of love, light and healing.” Blessings and Abundance,
