Biography Zelday

In the Netherlands born Zelday Karssen (1981), father of two children, is a ceremonial guidance, sound healer, musician, didgeridoo specialist. He studies and lives the path of sound healing and didgeridoo ever since 2001 and deeply devoted his life towards this ancient instrument and healing practise, which became his full profession in 2009. Throughout time he studied from traditional Yidaki to modern didgeridoo styles and is a known teacher when it comes to consciousness about body, sound and spirit.

Parallel with the path of sound healing, a high pioneering and experimental chapter with his dideridoo’s taught him the diversity of this instrument in various musical genres, which performed throughout a wide variation of festivals, concerts and projects around the Netherlands and Europe mainly in between 2009 and 2016.

Zelday inspired literally thousands of people with his spiritual devotion for his music, instruments and life itself. He lived throughout his life several dimensions of existence, and travelled around the planet to synchronize with her divine natural beauty. During these journeys he came in contact with various cultures and tribes in Europe, Asia, Australia, south and middle America. His pure type of awareness about our cosmological journey on this planet makes him a very sensitive and earthly person. Life experiencing from the heart, also came from a tremendous polar side effect as he experienced existence with long term shadow work in very early stages of his life. These mainly caused by the desynchronizing of his organic senses towards the modern western society. Through many years of deep transformation he analysed the many dimensions of existence, which brought him back to his most fundamental principle of the self. Being Alive.

“Being high sensitive has been interpreted more like a disease in the world today than it is truly valued as a unique personal gift. It is just those are fortuned able to feel on deeper levels, but with the lack of social or cultural attention and education this gift could be ones largest struggle to survive. In fact we all have the potential to experience the endless field of senses. It is mainly about finding back the trust in your organic senses and understand on a deeper level that all your life experiences are generated from within. I went through some dark chapters which, finally, let me understand the light we basically are. We are dualistic beings in search of union. The union isn’t a permanent state of being, but the conscious practise of duality will teach us what it is to experience pure union. This could be practised with yoga, tantra, plant teachers, sound or any other conscious method to experience ourselves.“

Psychoactive and Ethnobotanical path

His refined, organic sense of sound and energy let him grew towards a developed sound healer and through many years he disciplined studied several Ethnobotanical and psychoactive sacraments. Due winter times he travels to the Amazonian rainforest to deepen his knowledge due the so called dietas in the shamanic sources. It are these sources in where he deeper realized his further path in life. Under guidance of very few shamans and curandero’s in Peru he has strongly been growing in his ability to work with the spirits of some of the utmost powerful Ethnobotanical and Psychoactive substances known to human beings.

Zelday full time dedicates his life working as a planetary awakening guidance, sound healer and musician. Nowadays he is contributing his gifted wisdom to the field of spiritual awakening and transformation in sessions, ceremonies and retreats.

” Consciousness became my true ”Religion”, a religion based on Realizing rather than believing.

We all have the potential to awaken into our true Self.

Your authentic Self , your Spirit that is temporary and organically embodied by the elements of nature.

That delicate nature that created us all , makes us all indigenous to the Mother planet.”
