What we don’t own, owns us.

What we don’t own, owns us.

“ I checked myself at the door but wasn’t sure why I entered in the first place. Mindless conversation about things I don’t care anything about but we laugh, and I forced myself to laugh too.

I consume just to look like I am part of the crowd and raise my party cup in solidarity. Wait... why? What am I doing? Feeling disconnected I find my way back to the door to try myself on again. It’s really uncomfortable. But... at least it’s real.”

When we acknowledge the truth about ourselves, we can transmute the fear and other negative emotions that have held us captive. We can finally allow ourselves to STOP the things we have felt no longer serve us. We actually move forward and start creating the life we really want.

6 spots available for tomorrow’s sound bath (Wednesday the 9th) and 5 spots available for Sound Healing 101 (THIS Saturday, January 12th). See you soon!!

Let’s get to it!

Do you meditate?
How often? 
What is your favorite meditation?

When I first started meditating I would get frustrated with myself for not being able to sit in lotus pose with a straight spin. I thought I wasn’t doing it right. My body hurt, and my mind was racing. But at some point I heard someone talk about treating meditation like a workout. Meaning, with working out, we’re not seeing results right away. We are sore. And we are using our brains differently so we have a lot of mind chatter.

Some days my body is totally into it! Some days... not so much. But you do it anyway. Some days I need to do a journaling meditation, or a walking meditation, while others I need a sound bath, or guided. There are so many ways to get there. And depending on what you are going for/your intention, it doesn’t always have to look the same way.

There is a lot going on THIS WEEK! Take a look below! I would love to see you at a sound bath soon if it is feeling like a sound bath meditation kind of day!

1. Relax in Sound - Sound Bath THIS WEDNESDAY, the 9th! (6 more spots open) at the Center for Love and Light.

2. SoundEmbrace - Sound Healing 101 THIS SATURDAY, the 12th! (5 more spots open) at the Center for Love and Light

3. Relax in Sound - Sound Bath THIS SUNDAY, the 13th! (Not sure how many spots open) at Westside Yoga

4. Relax in Sound - Sound Bath THURSDAY, the 17th at Bar Method Atlanta on East Cobb

5. Sound Journey - Sound Bath SUNDAY, the 20th at the Center for Love and Light

6. Relax. Restore. Revive. - Sound Bath TUESDAY, the 22nd at The Corrective Chiropractic In Buckhead.

No BUTs!

No BUTs!

Today the first day for SoundEmbrace at Kate’s Club!!! 3 groups of kids, 3 different age groups, 3 different ways of facilitating!

I read a quote somewhere that said, “If you want to reach a goal, you need to reduce the size of your BUT.”

BUTs are you putting road blocks in the way of your happiness. If you are finding you are using BUT, see if you can shift your perspective to look at that as an opportunity. What do you need to make happen to eliminate the BUT?

For example: the Fundraiser.
“BUT that’s a lot of people!”
+Ok! I need to organize helpers. .
“BUT that’s a lot of money to invest in a space with no guarantee for return!”
+OK! How much do I need to make for the goal? Add that together with estimated expenses. Now, how many tickets need to be sold? .
“BUT that sounds like so much work!”
+OK! Write down what is involved to make it happen and weigh in on if it is worth it to you.

Bypass the pessimism. We don’t have time for that. It’s a miserable place to live in that gets you no where. Because I eliminated the BUT’s, today I get to start a Sound Healing program at Kate’s Club and then hire my trained Sound Practitioners to go in and live their dream! Life is full of abundance. You deserve to live a life you love. You just have to choose to. 💕

Sound bath next week Wednesday is almost sold out. Sound healing 101 registration closes on Wednesday as well. Sign up soon! Link in bio. XO!!

If you want to get anywhere… you need to start somewhere.

This is a picture of the first public sound bath I did. I proudly showed off my 1 - 12 inch quartz crystal bowl and 1 small gong.

That’s it!

I was still working full time in the photography industry as a photographer, retoucher, or producers assistant, and spending my free time learning and building my sound healing business.

I navigated the “side-eye” judgment stares from those who didn’t know me or what sound healing was about. As well as the caring “worried you fell into a cult” conversations from those who did know me. Haha! Those were funny!

Everyone is going to have an opinion no matter what you do. So.. you might as well do it anyway! And sometimes, a less than desirable comment from someone may just be a reflection of their own insecurity. It may also just be the way they know how to show they care about you. I know, weird, but true!

When you think about your goals ask yourself these questions and answer HONESTLY: 
Why haven’t I started?
What am I holding fear around?
Whose opinions am I allowing into my head that are making the decisions for me?
How can I empower myself to take JUST ONE STEP forward?

Nothing about this season is dead. It is just natures way of regrouping on how it wants to show up in the new season. This is your time to do the same. How do you want to show up? Time to Regroup. What do you want? … S T A R T somewhere.

There are a few spaces available for Sound Healing 101. It’s a great place to start even if you’re not necessarily thinking about being a sound practitioner. And I have a lot of sound bath options for you this month! Including in Marietta, Westside, Buckhead, and my regular spot in Virginia Highlands.

Share your next step with me so we can all celebrate you! And no, it doesn’t have to do anything with sound healing!

8 spots left for SoundEmbrace 101 Sound Healing class!

8 spots left for SoundEmbrace 101 Sound Healing class!

Wow! We are a week and a half away! My team and I are about to dive deep into prep mode. Kent Aberle from Dream Cymbals has our back with Gongs again, we're about to print materials for the binders, shop for your gift bags, and READYING THE DRUMS! 8 people have signed up and we have 8 more spaces open! (This will not be offered again until the Fall.)

Students will gain the foundation needed to add sound as a therapy in their established health and wellness businesses, start their own sound healing practice, or use sound healing for their own personal health and wellbeing.

Don’t worry if you don’t have instruments. I got you covered. I am so excited to welcome you to class!

The energy surrounding the next phase of SoundEmbrace is powerful! It’s so clear. The road is open. And I have an amazing team of Sound Practitioners to call upon. But none of this could have happened if I did not release my fear around what other people may think about my method of teaching or philosophy around sound healing.

When we look at the fear we can see what we are holding on to. You can choose to release it and breakthrough the hold it has over you. I’m not saying it’s easy. What I am saying, is that when I released the fear about what I perceived other people may think about me as a sound practitioner, teacher, philanthropist, activist, entrepreneurial boss lady, I fuckin made shit happen!

And you know what? 
You can too!

Sound Healing 101 is back! Class is Saturday January 12! (No instruments needed!)

Lastly, many of you asked to purchase the shirts we all wore at the fundraiser. (Image above) They are now up for sale! And percentage of sale will go to the fundraiser as well! BTW - I am so excited to get pics of you wearing it!!

Only hours away... Currently, we have 333 seats filled for the Sound Immersion Fundraiser, tonight! ( Wednesday, December 19th) 5 Sound Practitioners are eagerly awaiting you to enter the dome. While this is NOT a “sound bath as usual” type of event, our intention is for you to walk away from this experience knowing the power of sound healing therapy and its capability to bring peace within your mind/body. To bring you home.

With the plan I have set out, we are working up to being able to provide:
+12 Sound Bath sessions for Chris180 (1 session a month) and 36 sessions for Kate’s Club (broken down for 3 different age groups.)

That’s a total of 48 sessions in 2019! As of this moment, we will be able to do 24 sessions!

At SoundEmbrace, we are supporting the mental health and wellness of our community through sound healing therapy. Creating a safe environment for kids and adults to relieve stress, reduce pain, inspire curiosity and self empowerment... bringing back that sense of HOME when your foundation has been rocked.

We are looking forward to seeing you in a few hours!

Ways you can support: + Purchase a ticket
+ Online Auction ends at 9pm tonight!
+ Financial donation (DM Jamie at the Center)

A Site + Sound Experience Fundraiser Supporting Georgia Mental Health + Wellness

Imagine sitting comfortably in reclined seats while immersed in heavenly sounds (played live) that entrain you to a higher state of consciousness. You have a choice in keeping your eyes open while taking a visual journey with sound, touring through space; or choose to relax into the sound with eye masks provided for you as a gift!

Afterwards, enjoy touring the exhibits, chatting it up with our sponsors and vendors, or taking photos at the complimentary photo booth. You will leave with a THANK YOU gift bag and a feeling of peace within your mind, body and spirit for supporting local non profit organizations working in mental health and wellness in Georgia!

See you tomorrow! 💕

“To have words is one thing.What you do with them is another.”

“To have words is one thing.
What you do with them is another.” - Danielle Hall

One of the important things I do after EVERY sound bath, is offer the opportunity for guests to share their experiences with me so I may support them in the integration of their experience. For Wednesday’s fundraising sound bath experience at the Planetarium, I will not have that option. We are nearing 250 sign ups. In light of this and it’s importance, I am collaborating with someone whose words I have witnessed move people to action. Moved people to tears of relief. Moved people to shift into love of Self.

It’s not that one vibrates higher or lower. The power comes from the steadiness.  Dr. Crystal Jones energy has that steadiness. It’s a vibration you feel comforted in, safe in, and loved in. We are creating Sanctuary after the sound immersion, where Crystal will be to receive your presence and hear your words. She will be supporting me in keeping the integrity of how I facilitate these experiences by supporting you in grounding.

Check out our interview by clicking the link in bio for the Video Podcast Series. We look forward to seeing you in a few days!

We have been planning this collaboration for a while...

When we had the idea, we didn’t know what intention to hold. But we knew the power in the connection of our work. We knew we would be guided. And we were.

Intention.
Vibration.
Breathe.
Water.

I created the environment, while Jill Ford breathed life into it. It took shape into what we reveal to you today.

Original artwork goes towards Jill and Josh’s adoption process, while the limited addition print sales go towards SoundEmbrace fundraising efforts. (Print delivery scheduled for January)

The intention we held... Home: Love, Safety, Belonging.

Last week I had the opportunity to share my story with Shawn Moore, M.S. host of the The Mindful Rebel podcast. We talked about entrepreneurship, how I got into sound healing, legacy, and of course, the fundraiser!

Let me know if you take a listen! I think you will get a better sense of why I do what I do. There is something else that drives me. And it’s NOT sound healing.

Head to shawnjmoore.com/podcast or your favorite place to listen (Apple Podcasts , anchor.fm , googleplaymusic) .

I like to throw things at you!

I like to throw things at you!

Ok, not literally! If you have ever assisted me then you know you get thrown into things. From day 1, Shana Nunnelly has been able to catch all the curve balls I have thrown at her. I think it’s really the only way to push you out of your comfort zone and gain the confidence to move through the fear.

I am so happy to introduce you to Shana Nunnelly on today’s video podcast. She is one of the practitioners facilitating the experience at the fundraiser on Wednesday, December 19th and I would love for you to get to know her.

Was I your first?

Was I your first?

I started a video podcast series to introduce you to the others contributing to the fundraiser, and so you could get a better sense of who I am, why you would want to support this effort and allow me to take you on this journey.

The first conversation I had was with the sweetest, brightest soul I know Angelica Arias Gurel . We talk about HER FIRST TIME and how it had impacted it her life.

And please let me know... was I your first (Sound Bath)? How was it? 😉

In flight.

In flight.

On a plane headed to the Bay Area for a FULL work week. We are a week and a half away from the fundraiser and I find myself surprisingly calm despite the heavy TO DO list.

Everything is coming together. The flow feels really good... Here is a little “behind the scenes” of why this fundraiser is able to happen:

1. Christopher Wood will be stepping in for me to finalize the graphics on Wednesday.
2. Angelica Arias Gurel is storing 5 rugs, 200 hangers, and few other boxes. 
3. Nicole Hall is updating content on my website, while Em is running errands all over town all week. 
4. Mindful Mornings Atlanta and Modern Mystic Shop are actively handing out promo cards for the fundraiser. 
5. Jamie Butler and Corey Dobyns are collecting Auction and Gift bag items.
6. Dr. Crystal Jones emailed me a list of her favorite personal quotes to share. 
7. Videographer is secured for the event! LeeAnn! Wow... you beautiful soul!
8. Christina Wedge and The Click Box have coat check racks ON LOCK!
9. Brianne has my back with pack pick up!
10. And so many of you are sharing this event on your social media and by word of mouth to your friends and family!

As you can see... there are many people to thank for bringing this together. We are so close to 200! Will you share the event? Let me know if you would like me to send a picture and/short blurb about it. The only way we will be able to fill 500 seats is if I ask... thank you for considering to share the event. Next time I write, it will be from SF!

Well, I am elated to share that Paradigm San Francisco is growing to the point where as of December, we are now offering 2 sound baths a week! I am excited to meet the new staff and the new house!

I also have a cool corporate client, Tophatter, I will meet for the first time in person and provide 3 sound baths for. Then, later in the week, I will get up to Petaluma to provide an experience for a women’s retreat called Soulstice Sisterhood produced by Ashley Burnett!

As you can see... we are working away right up until the end! But, HOLY COW! Something BIG is brewing for 2019. I can feel it!

Oh, hi Monday! What do you have for me this week?

Oh, hi Monday!  What do you have for me this week?

Hitting Monday with a TO DO list that is out of this world! Thank goodness for meditation, coffee, and VOLUNTEERS!

I apologize; I don’t really have much to give to this post today.  But I think that may be what I need to share.  Some days are just like that.  We literally don’t have more to give then what’s on the list of TO DO’s for that day. And that’s ok!

I do, however, want to remind you that TODAY is the last day to enter the raffle for a chance at a free ticket/s to the fundraiser at the Planetarium.  Check out the previous post that screams “RAFFLE”.

Lately, I’ve had quite a few people tell me how “Non Committal” Atlanta is.

Lately, I’ve had quite a few people tell me how “Non Committal” Atlanta is.

Well… I must be doing something right because 126 people (so far) have signed up for the epic sound bath fundraiser taking place at the Fernbank Science Center Planetarium, Wednesday, December 19th!

Someone asked me what the “secret sauce” was… I laughed and said, “I don’t know if there is a secret sauce, but I do know, that if you fill your cup first, you are more able to show up and help others.  And I have been showing up for both, for years. Now, others have an opportunity to step in and support me in return.”

It’s not one thing. 
It’s not one person. 
There are several people who believe in this. 
There are several people who believe in me.
I fell in love with Atlanta in 2000.
THIS was years in the making.

So... thank you 126 people who put a ring on it!  I love you, too!  And I look forward to rocking your world, photographing it, and giving you presents on the 19th! 😘
