SOUND ARTIST & SITARIST
philosophy
My offerings consist of immersive sound experiences that transcend traditional wellness spaces. Rooted in Sufi spirituality and the depth of Hindustani classical music, our offerings explore the sacred potential of sound as both a healing modality and a form of living art.
I weave together crystal bowls, chimes, and Indian instruments like sitar, shruti box, ghungroo, and voice. Each is chosen for their unique resonance and symbolic meaning. These elements converge into poetic soundscapes that move through body, spirit, and space.
My philosophy blends the Western chakra system with the Sufi concept of Lataif-e-Sitta, guiding participants through a contemplative journey of dissolution (fanaa*) and remembrance (baqa**). Whether through a private session or public performance, I invite all beings to rest, reset, and reattune.
*Fanaa refers to annihilation of the nafs, or ego. More commonly known as "ego death".
**Baqa refers to subsistence with the divine, or God. This is the state after fanaa, where you rejoin everyday life but with this new perspective of the divine being omnipresent in your everyday life.

روحانی موسیقی آپ کی روح کو روشن کرتی ہے، اسے سنتے رہیں اور اندرونی سکون حاصل کریں۔
"Spiritual music illuminates your soul, keep listening and attain inner peace."
Jalaluddin Rumi
