“To spread holistic sound healing modalities through authentic education, globally — harmonizing ancient wisdom with modern science.“
Born in India, Shiva Girish left his hometown in 2005 to begin his journey as a spiritual seeker, travelling across the length and breadth of India in search of authentic transformation. Over the course of this journey he explored numerous paths of inner work, encountering failure and false starts, until he discovered the meditation science of the Ancient Vedas — a discovery that would go on to shape a global mission. What began as one man’s search for meaning slowly became a structured body of teaching, tested and refined across thousands of sessions, workshops, and certification programs, until it grew into two institutions now recognized across continents.
Since 2010, Shiva Girish has dedicated his life to conducting classes, wellness programs, and workshops across India and abroad — carrying the wisdom he found on his own path outward into the world. For the last 12 years, that mission has taken structured form: building two of the most recognized teaching institutions in global sound healing and meditation, and training thousands of healers across six continents to carry this ancient wisdom forward into modern, everyday lives.
A Global Movement Built on Two Institutions
Samaveda International Sound Healing Academy, Goa, India — Asia’s leading Sound Healing Teacher Training Academy
The Academy exists to turn individual healing into a worldwide ripple effect, offering:
✦ Somatic Embodiment Sound Healing Teacher Training — A Multi-Sensory Journey Integrating Body, Breath, Movement, and Vibration for Complete Holistic Healing Mastery
✦ Multi-Instrument Sound Healing Certification Training — Master Himalayan Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, and 10+ Additional Shamanic & Energy Healing Instruments to Build a Versatile, Professional Sound Healing Practice
✦ Certified Gong Master Sound Bath Training — A Dedicated, In-Depth Certification in Gong Sound Healing Therapy, Chakra Balancing, and Immersive Sound Journey Facilitation
✦ Singing Bowls Master Trainer Training — Elevate Your Passion, Expand Your Career, built on a vision to expand sound healing teacher training globally, empowering Master Trainers to carry and conduct this same training around the world
12+ years of structured, professional sound healing education · 1,900+ certified healers, trained and practicing across 100+ countries
Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Rishikesh & Goa, India — his flagship meditation and Tantra school
✦ 100–200 Hour Meditation Teacher Training — Deepen Your Personal Practice, Master Ancient Vedic Techniques, and Become a Certified Meditation Guide for the Modern World
✦ Sound Healing Teacher Training — A Comprehensive, Practical Certification in Vibrational Therapy for Aspiring and Practicing Sound Healers
✦ Certified 100-Hour Tantra Teacher Training — Authentic Vijnana-Bhairava-Tantra Techniques and Active/Passive Meditation Practices for Modern Practitioners
1,000+ certified teachers trained across 100+ countries
Together, these two institutions have certified nearly 3,000 healers and teachers worldwide across 100+ countries — each one now an ambassador carrying this mission forward into their own communities, spanning Himalayan singing bowl therapy, gong sound healing, chakra sound healing, Vedic meditation, and Tantra.
Taking the Mission Into Hospitality & the Corporate World
Over the last two years, Shiva Girish has extended this mission into the world’s most prestigious wellness spaces and into corporate India, delivering:
✦ On-site certification training for 5-star hotels and elite wellness spa resorts, including Tibetan Himalayan Singing Bowls Certification, Primordial Sound Healing Meditations, Crystal Singing Bowls Therapy, and Gong Master Sound Bath Training — ensuring guests at the world’s leading resorts experience sound healing delivered with the same authenticity and depth as at its Himalayan source
✦ Customized corporate wellness sound healing workshops, designed not just for offsites in Goa but for organizations everywhere — delivered on-site at company offices, retreats, and townhalls across India, including Mumbai, and built specifically around employee productivity and burnout recovery
Both offerings reflect the same underlying belief: that authentic sound healing, correctly delivered, has a measurable place in how the world rests, heals, and works.
Published Author — Codifying a Global Curriculum
Drawing on 11+ years of research, training data, and field experience, Shiva Girish has authored a definitive 7-part Blueprint Manuals Collection — designed so that authentic sound healing knowledge could reach far beyond his own classroom, to any sincere practitioner, anywhere in the world:
1. The Ultimate Himalayan Tibetan Singing Bowls Sound Healing Therapy Blueprint Manual
2. Gong Sound Healing Therapy Blueprint Manual
3. Essential Guide: Crystal Singing Bowls Sound Healing Therapy Blueprint Manual
4. The Essential Seven Chakra Sound Healing Therapy Blueprint Manual — including 6 full-hour original meditation scripts
5. Ultimate Collaboration Blueprint Manual — a strategic framework for partnering with festivals, wellness studios, corporate wellness programs, and 4–5 star hotels & resorts
6. Advanced Tibetan Singing Bowls Sound Healing Guidebook — a post-training blueprint for practicing healers
7. The Ultimate Blueprint Guide for Building a Successful Sound Healing Career — business, branding, and global positioning strategy
Together, these manuals form a complete curriculum — from first bowl to global career — turning what was once oral, regional knowledge into an accessible, structured education for the modern world.
Free Books — Shared to Spread Global Awareness for Sound Healing & Wellness Careers
Beyond the Blueprint Manuals Collection, Shiva Girish has released books free to all, offered as a direct contribution to global wellness awareness:
✦ Don’t Let AI Take Your Job: 16 Insights & Trends on Why Gen Z, Alternative Therapists & Wellness Professionals Must Know to Pursue a Sound Healing Career — A free e-book compiling 16 data-backed insights and global trends on why sound healing offers a resilient, human-centered career path in an AI-disrupted job market.

The Vision Ahead
Shiva Girish’s work is guided by a single, expanding vision: to spread holistic sound healing modalities through authentic education, globally — harmonizing ancient wisdom with modern science. Every training, manual, hotel partnership, and certified healer is one more step toward that goal — combining traditional Himalayan and Tibetan sound practices with contemporary scientific insight, so this healing can reach and serve the modern world at scale, one classroom, one workshop, and one certified healer at a time.
