Torkom Ji

Torkom is a sound healer, meditation guide, and creator of Quantum Harmonix; a unique frequency healing modality. This listening experience is designed to deeply drop one into a relaxed and therapeutic state by incorporating a variety of techniques and tones that have been shown to effectively calm the body and mind. The total experience typically lasts 1 hour and requires no prior experience with meditation.

QUANTUM HARMONIX is a unique sound-based meditative and healing technology. The powerful tones produced incorporate natural fluidity & movement, and have been shown to have profound effects on the mind, body, consciousness of an individual. Q.H. sounds are designed to lead one through an effortless and powerfully restorative meditation experience invoking relaxation, and expanded creativity, while improving sleep quality and productivity, while decreasing stress. The music is layered live and explores acoustical phenomena, white/pink noise, low-mid-high range frequencies; all folded into a tapestry of real time musical compositions.
