The Secret Sound of The Heart

"Please play with me
Up and down, side to side,
Until you and I become one…
Play the secret sound."
 
This musical instrument was born out of a desire to transform a game of strategy and winners into an interactive game where every one plays his own music, and sets aside all thought, connects to the self – breathes, remains quiet, and listens to the rhythm,
feeling the flow.
Making the secret sound that comes from the heart may open others'hearts to peace and silent.
