I believe at this stage that it is something about drawing others into a sound orb of stillness where we each wait to be given sound(s) for a collective opening of harmonies to emerge&#8230;this is not about singing.\u00a0 It is about sounding.\u00a0 It is cosmic sound I am speaking of.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lana<\/em>:\u00a0 You have Neptune rising in Libra, so it is a key planet for you, and I always say a healthy Neptune is something to aim for.\u00a0 Neptune also represents your vision.\u00a0 When we were meditating on the forthcoming T-square a year ago, you said: &#8220;As we go into the T-Square in about a year&#8217;s time, the Lightworkers will resonate in a way which holds the planet safely &#8211; a Tensegrity &#8211; just as the guides have been holding the Planet until now.&#8221;\u00a0 You described it as a time when &#8220;a resonance of clear energy which has a vibrancy of life never seen before on this planet.\u00a0 The whole body will sound, not just the voice.\u00a0 The body will be the instrument of love and as such it will sound in complete unity and harmony with all other beings around it&#8221;, but you said not everybody would be able to hear or see it&#8230;Can you expand on your vision of Tensegrity?<\/p>\n<p><em>Flick<\/em>:\u00a0\u00a0 This is quite a question Lana!\u00a0 I feel I was channelling when I came out with that information.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t yet know how this will look.\u00a0 I do feel however that we are gradually moving towards it and I certainly am in my work.\u00a0 Sound is vibration.\u00a0 We are &#8211; all things are vibration.\u00a0 If we constrict, restrict, fix in any way, we clamp down inappropriately on our own true vibration.\u00a0 Whe we as human beings are vibrating with freedom and ease we cannot help but be in balance with our own sound, our place in the grand scheme; this is Tensegrity of Sound and vibration &#8211; the supporting of a structure through its own balance of tension and integrity.\u00a0 One could say this is perfect suspension.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Tensegrity was a term used by Carlos Castaneda to refer to some movements called magical passes (a series of meditative stretches, stances and movements) that he said were developed by Native American shamans who lived in Mexico in times prior to the Spanish conquest.&#8221; &#8211; <\/em>Wikipedia<\/p>\n<p>This may also be of interest! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleargreen.com\/english\/tensegrity.cfm\">www.cleargreen.com\/english\/tensegrity.cfm<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Lana<\/em>:\u00a0 You also linked it at the time with the Light Grid Mandala (which is pictured on my Mandalas page) saying that was an accurate visual representation of it.\u00a0 I want to turn now to the power of sound to heal.\u00a0 How transformational is the power of sound?\u00a0 And could you give examples?<\/p>\n<p><em>Flick<\/em>:\u00a0 Well, on this question I believe there are far more experienced people than me to answer it!\u00a0 I will say however, that Hazrat Inyat Khan believed that sound will become the next big healing breakthrough.\u00a0 Going back to my answer for question 3, we are vibration.\u00a0 Music has the power to heal due to the resonance.\u00a0 If we look at the work of Hans Jenny and Cymatics <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cymaticssource.com\/\">www.cymaticsource.com<\/a> we realise sound can be used heal or to destroy.\u00a0 Those of us who are sensitive will feel a dis-ease when listening to certain forms of music which jar against our own harmonic structure.\u00a0 It is believed that certain composers, Mozart for example, will appeal to those people who feel a pull towards the DNA structure of Mozart.\u00a0 I believe Don Campbell is the person to read on this subject: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozarteffect.com\/\">www.mozarteffect.com<\/a>.\u00a0 I have had the privilege of hearing the sounds of a dying body, the sounds of the planet, and hearing how sound blasts cancer cells.\u00a0 Whilst this is my peripheral knowledge and interest I can safely say my area to work with transformation is through each individual&#8217;s personal sound and the collective use of voice.\u00a0 I have seen this work transform lives many times.\u00a0 The more we are able to vibrate our true vibration the more we will be able to segue into the next vibrational level for mankind.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lana<\/em>:\u00a0 Thank you!\u00a0 And last but not least for Question 5, other facets of your work are Healing and Psychotherapy (I am not sure which year of training you are in).\u00a0 You have Chiron (the wounded healer) in Capricorn, and I wonder if you can describe to me your Inner Healer?<\/p>\n<p><em>Flick<\/em>:\u00a0 Hmmm&#8230;You do like to throw the cat into the pigeon&#8217;s nest, don&#8217;t you?!\u00a0 I am actually in my 3rd year of Psychotherapy training and really enjoying the journey.\u00a0 As a healer I trained at the Snowlion School in the South of France and this was in Psycho-Spiritual Energy Therapy.\u00a0 I use it now in my world in an indirect way as it has informed my wholistic approach to life and my work.\u00a0 As you say, I have Chiron in Capricorn.\u00a0 I feel this is a difficult placing for me along with one or two other significant astro placings to do with my mother.\u00a0 It has been a challenge for me to let go of the workaholic and see where this has come from.\u00a0 If I am answering the question from the *healed* place I see it is connected with my Aquarius Sun very strongly&#8230;to do with groups, humanitarian quests etc.\u00a0 I feel my work is on the cutting edge and quite difficult to give birth to, as there is nothing like it that I know of, apart from voice recognition where the results are generated by hi tech equipment.\u00a0 My inner healer is holding group consciousness, group and individual wounding and offering space for this to be transformed.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the links to Felicity&#8217;s
