Shelly Reef is the founder of an original training for Therapy Harp - in which she also includes feeltone monochords. She's developed a unique way of playing the it which is ideal for when you want to combine monochord with other instruments such as the therapy harp. 

In contrast to the "Flying Sound Carpet" (which is a 2-handed technique we teach in our official feeltone trainings), Shelly plays the monochord one-handed on the side so the other hand is freed up to play harps and crystal singing bowls.

This is the perfect playing technique for anyone wanting to learn how to play monochord at the same time as other intuitive instruments!

Shelly was a guest on our Monochord Monday Meetup on Monday, July 20th, during which she shared about her sound journey starting with crystal singing bowls that led to therapy harps and then the monochord. She shares about the power of "holding Theta space" and then offers us a lovely demonstration of her sideways monochord playing technique layered gorgeously with therapy harp and bowls.

We're thrilled that Shelly is now is featuring the feeltone Monochords in her upcoming live course featured on the Shift network! The staff of WE PLAY WELL TOGETHER will be joining Shelly for this 7 week adventure - and we invite you to join us too...

    •    Explore the unique healing qualities of Therapy Harps and monochords — and how their overtone-rich resonance supports emotional balance, nervous system regulation, and deep states of calm

    •    Experience immersive harmonic sound journeys designed to quiet the mind, regulate the body, and cultivate meditative and restorative states of awareness
 
    •    Learn how layered strings and sustained overtones create what Shelly calls “harmonic immersion” — a spacious field of resonance felt throughout the body and energetic field

    •    Uncover how different tonalities, chords, and harmonic structures influence emotional states, therapeutic outcomes, and energetic environments

    •    Develop the ability to choose appropriate soundscapes for settings such as shadow work, meditation, hospice care, emotional support, ceremony, and relaxation

    •    Work with Therapy Harps, monochords, crystal bowls, chimes, and overtone-rich instruments to create emotionally supportive and energetically coherent healing environments

    •    Explore how resonance, vibration, and sound immersion can support theta states, emotional release, creativity, transcendence, and inner stillness

    •    Learn how harmonic sound environments can help shift the nervous system out of overstimulation and into greater regulation, presence, and ease

    •    Experience how chord-tuned instruments offer an intuitive, accessible pathway into therapeutic sound work without requiring extensive technical musical training

    •    Discover ways to integrate immersive harp-based sound healing into wellness practices such as yoga, meditation, somatic work, energy healing, caregiving, and therapeutic support
