(English is below) タイのバンコクで開催されたウェルネス×リーダーシップのカンファレンス、「Dragonfly -HEAL-」 にてガイド瞑想でのハンドパンの演奏、声の瞑想ワークショップ、'Zen in Motion'(身体を動かす瞑想）そしてバンコク在住で世界で活躍するミュージシャンでモデルのNotepさんとEchos of Infinityと題した声の瞑想のコラボレーションをさせていただきました。
At the wellness and leadership conference “Dragonfly - HEAL” in Bangkok, Thailand, I had the honor of offering guided meditation with handpan music, leading a Voice Meditation workshop, and facilitating a movement meditation session called “Zen in Motion.” Additionally, I collaborated on a voice meditation piece titled “Echoes of Infinity” with Notep, a Bangkok-based musician and model renowned globally.
Notep shared her powerful story of once being part of a pop idol group, where she struggled with singing songs that didn’t represent her true voice. This experience highlighted the importance of reconnecting with one’s authentic voice. I emphasized the value of releasing both mind and body to produce a voice that is free from the constraints of “trying” to sound a certain way. Within an ambient soundscape created by looping Notep’s voice, we invited the audience to immerse themselves in the act of “perceiving their own existence as vibration,” uniting the entire room in a shared resonance.
This work is immensely powerful. Through the resonance with others, the boundaries between self and other can begin to dissolve, physical sensations can fade, emotions may be cleansed, traumas processed, and a profound connection to one’s self is forged, creating healing. Participants may experience harmony within chaos, realizing that chaos and harmony are often separated by the finest of lines.
In our culture, “expression” typically implies “expressing oneself,” but this experience offers a different insight: rather than purposefully expressing, one allows “the self to be expressed.” This shift can greatly expand one’s perspective on life and the world, dissolving personal boundaries and fostering a more comprehensive view.
My mission is to help world leaders who drive positive change heal deeply and awaken to their true purpose. For the past 15 years, I’ve been pioneering improvised music through live looping, starting with beatboxing layered over loops of my own voice. At the time, live looping was not widely recognized, but I felt the limitless potential of creativity it could unlock.
The phrase “people meet the divine in improvisation” resonated with me profoundly. Through countless improvised sessions, I’ve witnessed moments of miraculous beauty, where genius manifests through me in ways that surpass individual effort. Music created from a state of “here and now,” in complete surrender to the present, flows freely without boundaries and reflects life as an inner journey, inviting listeners to explore themselves in the same way.
My aim now is to share the techniques I have developed so that others can experience this transformative process. For some, this journey may become a life-altering experience.
When we encounter such pure, powerful, and blessed moments, we are compelled to reflect on what we wish to contribute to this world. It is with this thought that I am reevaluating my own path forward.

タイのバンコクで開催されたウェルネス×リーダーシップのカンファレンス、「Dragonfly -HEAL-」
にてガイド瞑想でのハンドパンの演奏、声の瞑想ワークショップ、'Zen in Motion'(身体を動かす瞑想）そしてバンコク在住で世界で活躍するミュージシャンでモデルのNotepさんとEchos of Infinityと題した声の瞑想のコラボレーションをさせていただきました。
Notepさんは過去にポップアイドルグループに所属していた時、自分の本当の表現ではない歌を歌わなければならない環境の中で歌うことが出来なくなったストーリーと共に、自分の声と繋がる大切さを伝えてくれました。
私は特定の音程を狙ったり、'より良い声'を出そうとしないありのままの声を出すために身体と心をリラックスさせる大切さを伝え、Notepさんの声をループさせて創るアンビエントなトラックの中で、会場の皆さん空気を一つに「自らの存在をバイブレーションとして知覚する」行為に没頭していただきました。
このワークは非常にパワフルです。他者との共鳴作用により、自己と他者の境目が曖昧になったり、身体の感覚が消滅したり、感情の浄化、トラウマの解消、深いレベルで自己と繋がり、癒します。カオスの中に調和を見つけたり、カオスと調和は紙一重であることを体験的に認識します。
また、所謂「表現」という言葉は、「自己を表現する」という意味で使われることがほとんどですが、自分が何か意図をもってする表現ではなく、「自己が表現される」ということ体験は、自分という人間の枠が大きく広がり、人生と世界をより広い視野で見ることができるものです。
世界をより良い方向にグループや組織を引っ張っていく世界のリーダーたちが深いレベルで癒され、自分の本当の使命に覚醒するきっかけを作ることが私の使命です🔥
ビートボックスでビートをループして声を重ねて音楽を即興的に創る活動をはじめて15年、ライブループという当時はあまり知られていなかった音楽演奏方法に創造の無限の可能性があることに震え、
「即興演奏で人は神と出会う」
という言葉と出会い、即興演奏が奇跡的に美しい瞬間を生む可能性について探究をし続け、天才性というものがある瞬間に自分を通して表現されるという体験をしてきました。
「今ここ、ありのまま」の姿を体現し続けることで、何の制約もないありのままの自由なフローで創造される音楽はまさに人生そのものを内なる旅として、聴く人の心もそのように誘う。
今まで自分の表現として培ってきた技術を他の人もそれが体験出来るようにデザインしていく、、そしてその体験は人によっては人生がひっくり返る体験になるかもしれない。
こんなにも純粋で、パワフルで、祝福に満ちた瞬間を体験した時、私たち1人ひとりはこの世界に何を貢献したいと思うようになるだろうか。
そんなことを考えながら、これからの自分のあり方を見つめ直しています。
