Testimonials



I have struggled with sleep issues for many years in addition to depression and anxiety. I have managed symptoms with medication, traditional talk therapy, and PAP treatment for sleep-disordered breathing. I sought out Billy initially to learn to play the didgeridoo because I knew it might improve my sleep-disordered breathing. I am working on mastering circular breathing, which in itself has been a beneficial journey. But far more than that, Billy has guided me through meditative breathing techniques and has used sound healing methods to address specific symptoms. I am so grateful for these practices which restore a different territory of mind and body. Billy has such a calm and generous presence, and I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking an additional path to wellness.

“The sound meditations are incredibly healing – both on an emotional level but also on a physical level. They leave you with a quiet in your being that allows you to be completely still in your soul and receive all the love the universe is trying to deliver. I’d not expected it, but I found that after the first meditation, the hernia that had been causing some digestive issues was completely resolved (and verified by ultrasound). A friend of mine arrived at one of the meditations with a painful migraine and left without it. All I can say is GO. Billy is an amazing musician and it’s an experience you don’t want to miss. I’ve been to a lot of great sound meditations over the years – these are extraordinary.”

“Shingetsu Billy White merges two masteries to create a profound meditational experience: musical performance/composition and Zen Buddhist practice. In an age when Eastern spirituality can be packaged in the West as so much “schtick” devoid of authentic spiritual substance, Billy organically melds these two forms while honoring the time honored tradition of Zen meditation practice. This can be especially helpful for participants, like myself, who have difficulty slowing down thoughts. Billy’s masterful live creation of music and sound was incredibly helpful in anchoring my mind.”

-Howard Meyer, Award-winning playwright, Artistic Director of Axial Theatre, and Buddhist meditation practitioner

“His offerings are not like the trendy sound bath, energy healing fads going on lately. This is the real deal. I wrote my doctoral treatise on vibrational healing, and it was largely influenced and inspired by his work. He is truly humble and does not self promote. What he offers is a treasure in our own backyard, and when he passes through town.”

-Jennifer N., Austin, TX

“Sound healing has taught me to pay attention how my body responds to external sounds and vibrations. Listening to Billy opened me up to experience a profound and healing effect of the sound resonating inside me in response to him playing.”

-Yanina V., Buffalo, NY

“Sitting with Billy is transformative. You do not have to DO anything. You simply listen to the instruments and let go. Everyone has the ability to sit. Everyone has the ability to listen. Just listening with Billy as a guide helps us to connect in a much more profound way.”

-Peter R., Portland, Oregon

“Sound meditation with Billy takes you beyond ordinary reality. Not only is Billy an incredibly skilled and accomplished musician but through his journey as a zen meditation practitioner, infuses a powerful intuitive flow in his soundscapes. Billy creates a warm and loving environment for his unforgettable meditations. If you want to stretch the boundaries of time and space and get a better glimpse of who you really are…don’t miss out!”

-K. Powell, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

“Billy is an alchemist of sound and vibration. His humble and wise presence sets the mood for a deep transformative journey. I felt a shift both in my conscious and subconscious mind. Having a group of friends share this experience was bonding and meaningful. In addition, the regular solo sessions with him helped me immensely through serious health problems, getting me in touch with a deep knowing and acceptance which allowed me to set aside gripping fears and align with a greater healing.”

-Lili Baron, Belgium

“I was fortunate to have gone to a sound healing class with Billy White. I knew Billy as an incredible guitarist so I was excited to attend his class. I was carried away by the sounds he made. They transported me to another time and place. I felt very peaceful, before I knew it the sounds touched me so deeply that I was weeping with joy, and a great feeling of peace came over me. I would recommend this class to anyone. He is a true healer.”

-Lainy R., Woodstock NY

“There is such sincerity to the soundscape that Billy creates. The mind surrenders, the body stills and heart sings. There is a sojourn taken with the music. This is not to be missed. “
