    Thanks for your great tips again Robert!
    Could you please make a video where you explain how in particular the NAF has healing capabilities.
    How does it work? I haven't been able to find anything more on this toppic than relating the different keys to the seven chacras. Would love to hear a more in depth explanation.

      I can help here from a shamanic perspective one day, more so than a sound healing perspective but yes, different frequencies can effect different energy centres.

    Thanks Robert for sharing your experience and thoughts. Happy Flutin ! Your tip of playing a bit of flute every day is spot on. When I pickup the flute I work on feeling the holes . And few breaths as well. Engaging the little finger seems to help to keep from raising the fingers too high .

    Really helpful, I wasn’t aware how tightly I grip my flute, I can already hear and feel the difference. Would love to get your thoughts on playing with backing tracks and rhythms if you feel inspired🙏🙏❤️❤️

      I’ll pop it on the list. However I haven’t really used many Rutgers or backing tracks in my playing as mainly I play in a ceremonial context, solo. So to cover this subject I’d like to first gain more experience of how it changes and shapes my own playing. That’s where I generally stand with it though, that it’s a positive move based on the fact that anything that challenges us to play differently is expansion and to be embraced as a learning, to take from the experience what you can, whether or not you decide it’s for you moving forwards.
      You’re welcome to share here, what backing tracks or Ruth end apps I might try?

      @@Robert-Leons I don’t have any experience with apps either but would love to learn if there are any good ones out there, my flutes are in F#minor and D and I haven’t found any tracks in these keys that really match up or sound good. Also interested in tips for playing with drums and percussion instruments. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

      @@SacredSoundss you could check out prana flutes…they offer some free tabs with metronome and some drums to play along with I think….might be a bit basic for you but might help.

    i have been learning an Anasazi flute from Erik the flute maker, it has a quena mouth piece, after practice my thumb would be in pain, so i can relate to how unsavoury tension can be

      Sounds like an interesting flute you have. I think potentially, it’s even more difficult to relax when so much focus is also on creating the embouchure

      @@Robert-Leons absolutely, i was like that with the irish whistle at first, the low whistle specifically, but only because the pipers grip was new, i can do it in my sleep now

      @@pollyon yes, same. Now that I know pipers grip and I’m familiar with increased sensitivity of breath control on the octaves, I can explore my Low D whistle more. It takes just a little dedication. A few minutes a day, and patience but once you’ve cracked a new flute, it comes back around to becoming more relaxed I feel, to be able to truly express ourselves freely.
      I’m now looking to add circular breathing to be able to explore Kaval and Fujara, interesting times 😁
