Here it is. Here we go!

Here it is. Here we go! 1 more spot for Sound Healing 101. Class is TOMORROW! Saturday, July 27th!

I love teaching this class so much! We will dig in right away on using the instruments like quartz crystal bowls, gongs from our amazing sponsor Kent Aberle from Dream Cymbals , you will have a binder of information for self study, and you will co- facilitate a sound bath with your group by the end of the day.

You may have heard me talk about them, but students Shana Nunnelly , Sonido Sound , Shawn Moore and Stress less with Snehaj started facilitating right away under mentorship and they now all hold their own sessions!.

You will get a feel for the instruments you really want to dig deeper into using for facilitating and you will gain a community of sound practitioners to learn from and become inspired by. I look forward to seeing you very soon.

::::SOUND ON::::

Nada Yogis in India have been saying that this universe is made up of sound. And everything that is vibrating in this universe is giving off a frequency.

Great! Because, Quantum physicists discovered that physical atoms are made up of vortices of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating, each one radiating its own unique energy signature.

Therefore, if we really want to observe ourselves and find out what we are, we are really beings of energy and vibration, radiating our own unique energy signature.

Weird right? Our experience tells us that our reality is made up of physical material things. The revelation that the universe is not an assembly of physical parts, suggested by Newtonian physics, but instead comes from a holistic entanglement of immaterial energy waves stemming from the research of Albert Einstein, Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg, among others.

The significance of this information is for us to realize that we are all energy, radiating our own unique energy signature. Feelings, thoughts and emotions play a vital role in our reality, and through Sound or Nada Yoga, we apply quantum physics to help us see the significance of how we all feel and how sound impacts our internal world as well as the external world.

This is the FOUNDATION of Sound Healing.

Calm the mind already!

There are many forms of Sound Healing that can be used as a way to help release ourselves from our obsessive thinking.

When we sing to the songs on the radio, becoming ONE with Bae, or Brushin Your Should Off, we are in a sense, emulating those artists. However, laying down for a sound bath experience can be used as a tool to support in the letting go of the personas we pick up during our day, as well as the one we identify with... it helps you let go of thoughts, bring awareness back to Sound and truly find Stillness. .
A regular practice trains us to have the ability to let go. You can think of sound as the net that captures your thoughts into one place and the stillness diffuses its power over you and releases it. Going back to sound is an empowered action that supports us in the letting go of the things we obsess over. Like... if Kiki really does loves you. DUUUUUUDE! Come on! If you made sound to stillness a part of your everyday practice this THING with Kiki may not take as long to get over!

That goes for all of us. Having a Sound to Stillness Practice supports you in those times you get a blast of negative emotions like when you’re cut off in traffic, have a disagreement, go through a breakup, or someone writes your name wrong on your cup at Starbucks... it may take you 2 months to get over it rather than a year!

September is a special month. I am wrapping up my time facilitating in Philly and road tripping back to Atlanta tomorrow. Just in time to start a series of Sound Baths starting THIS Wednesday night.

These sound bath experiences can be used as a tool to conquer your obsessive mind chatter by training ourselves to let go and come back to a deeper, quieter place within.

Follow the feeling!

Follow the feeling.

I make decisions based on feeling. I get shit for it from time to time, but I have found that when I follow the feeling the mind comes in and figures out the rest. It’s served me well.

Relationships.
Work.
Friendships.
Go this way.
Say this.
Don’t say anything.

That feeling sense of our bodies is often overlooked but it’s always guiding us. We need only to pay attention.

Do you follow what you’re feeling? I know I can’t be the only one. Sound Healing has amplified it for me! The practice of using Sound to capture mind chatter to find Stillness has had a profound affect on my life.. Crystal bowls, chanting, drumming, breath... all vibrational tools that help us connect to our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

I don’t always want to act upon the feeling or awareness that comes through. And sometimes I make it hard on myself by resisting... but it always ends up showing me the truth. And while the truth can be hard to accept, it can also be liberating.

I had a moment of clarity last night when I was facilitating a sound experience for SOULstice Sisterhood led by Ashley Burnett. In all the doing, the prep, the scheduling, the research, the teaching, the EVERYTHING that you have to and need to do to bring your dream to a waking reality I suddenly become enveloped with immense joy that I AM LIVING MY DREAM. It was intense and beautiful! The hard work and perseverance is paying off... even with this app! The vulnerability that comes from asking your community, friends, and family to support your dream in a financial energetic exchange, The courage that it takes to do something no one has done, And the pause. The powerful pause to acknowledge that I am doing something great. Something that will help so many people! And the biggest thing of all is that through this support I know I am not alone. I am so thankful for my Soul sisters, my Bay Area Family, my Atlanta family, my Yoga family, my Sound Healing family, my FAMILY FAMILY, and my Plywood People family! Incredible...
