âYou are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.â
âYou are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.â
You are expansive. You have the capability of so much. You can do as little or as much as you want, show up as small or as big... you are everything, you are everywhere, and every space...
The weather are your emotions. And your emotions are a record of the past. Itâs temporary. It doesnât define you. It doesnât own you. You get to decide how you work with it, or against it. How you prepare for it, or evolve through it.
You get to decide what artifacts you keep, what baggage to leave.
Tonightâs Sound Bath at Bar Method Atlanta East Cobb will support you in relieving stress, and quiet that mind chatter. Once in this space, you will feel a deeper connection to self. You will feel more expansive. And you will feel more clarity and empowered. Keep what serves, leave what doesnât! đ
See you tonight! Link in bio to sign up! I look forward to seeing you.

I was once told I was âtoo ambitiousâ. I did it anyway!
I was once told I was âtoo ambitiousâ. I did it anyway!
Ah! Well! Maybe! But how else do you change the world??!! đI know $9000 is kind of a hefty number but not when that number is tied to an initiative to help others. This event, Thursday March 21st is to raise money to help us continue the sound healing work we started at Kateâs Club . This will take us through the end of the year supporting kids navigating life after death of a loved one. (If we raise more in this event, this will go towards supporting the staff, volunteers, and parents through sound healing)
Yea, thatâs me.. the brunette on the right. One of these days I will make the time for a new headshot so yâall will email me more about the initiative and not my hair đ. Thanks for the love and confirmation youâre digging the blonde though! đ
Really though, when I started this Give Back program in December, I knew the money would come to start this work in the programs we are working with now. I just needed to put the work into it. You have to dream big, do the work, while also making space for magic!
This is more than just a charity event. Itâs also an opportunity to meet like minded practitioners in the wellness field. There is time to network, receive a mini reiki session from The Center for Love and Light, and get an eye mask for coming to the event! You will be inspired by the content and experience we have put together for you and leave with a sense of awe in awarenesses that come up for you. And this is the magic... community coming together to support and champion whatâs needed for our neighbors. Itâs incredible.â¨
It will be an evening of Connection + Magic. The best part, is that by attending, you are not just receiving this great experience for yourself, you are also giving back to your community.
Suzanne Adams hosts The Center for Love and Light , Pranic Soul and SoundEmbrace and my team of sound practitioners Sonido Sound Healing , Angelica A Gurel , Mara Rosaria , Pisces Dreamer , Shawn J Moore , Stress Less with Snehaj , Deaundra Audrey Cash , Deron Singh .
We are already approaching 100 people!

I love these moments... these âbeyond wordsâ moments.. they catch you off guard and make you feel a certain way. Surprised. Seen... that feeling like what you do and who you are matters. It gives you a moment of great pause in a world where we are always ON.
...like the times you send me your testimonials of how this work has impacted you đ
... times where people just show up when they know it means something to youđ
...times where someone calls you out on the story youâre telling yourself đ
...times where someone calls you out on the bad spelling and grammar for the stories you are telling đđ
... the time someone you like calls you âbabeâ for the first time đ
... times when someone reaches out because they are inspired by your story and want to interview you on their podcast đ¤Żđ
Pause. Wow. Episode 18 is Available Now on Thrive Beyond Cancer Summit where I was interviewed by Tekquiree Chenell where we discuss Sound Therapy, Sound Baths, How Sound Therapy helps your body go into its own natural state of healing, how Sound Therapy makes you more aware and connected, how Sound Therapy creates an environment for you to be still, and how the sounds around you influence your well-being.

Entering my birthday month with a little R+R.
Entering my birthday month with a little R+R.
Time just seems to slow down here... and I am thinking I need more of this. Like, on the regular... taking this way of being back to Atlanta...Iâm sure it a challenge you gave too... the days just seem to fly!!!
I could feel the burnout rising just before Decemberâs Sound Bath at the planetarium. I was becoming extremely irritable, unable to focus, and not sleeping well.
Taking time for self care will give you more time. There are layers to it. Itâs not only keeping your body in a state of health, but you look younger! Your mental focus is faster! You are able to find/keep a gratitude mindset more easily! And you feeling the spaciousness of time! (The list can really go on!)
I will be back in town just in time to support you in a little R+R. Wednesday, March 6th is the next sound bath. Hope to see you there to hug it out and take deep breathes together. Iâm looking forward to it. đ

MA N T R A is the use of the human voice to affect consciousness.
MA N T R A is the use of the human voice to affect consciousness. {Man = mind Tra = projection}
Everything in the universe, is in constant motion, vibrating. Vibration is pure energy.
One of the most beneficial technologies available to us is the science of sound, the Shabd Guru, "sound teacher."
The transformational Shabd, or sound, is composed of vibrations that shut off the ego, and take us from darkness to light.
When we chant a mantra we are choosing to invoke the positive power contained in those particular syllables.
Whether it's for prosperity, peace of mind, increasing intuition, or any other possible benefits inherent in mantras, simply by chanting them we are setting vibrations into motion that shall have an effect. It doesn't actually matter if we understand the meaning of the sounds or not.
Join me for an ATLANTA CHARITY EVENT - A powerful night of fun, expansion, connection and GIVING BACK! Pranic Soul will offer an experience of MANTRA as a way to set the vibration just right to receive a powerful quantum meditation from our lovely host Suzanne Adams. This is an evening of Quantum Leaping into the life of your dreams in Altanta on March 21st. And I will be there, accompanied by Sonido Sound and Mara Rosaria , to deepen the experience through sound healing.
The best part is â ALL PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO CHARITY!
Partnered with The Center for Love and Light we will receive the funds to continue our sound healing work in supporting Kateâs Club , an organization supporting children grieving from the loss of a parent.
If you want to give back, open your heart and network with the high vibe Atlanta community, then click the link in my bio and register for your ticket to give back today!
"Mantras are not small things, mantras have power. They are the mind vibration in relationship to the Cosmos. The science of mantra is based on the knowledge that sound is a form of energy having structure, power, and a definite predictable effect on the chakras and the human psyche." ~ Yogi Bhajan
Tag a friend in Atlanta that you know is ready to Quantum Leap into their dreams. (This post was written by Pranic Soul )

This is how the sky opened up today.
This is how the sky opened up today.
Sometimes I donât know when to pause. I stayed here in meditation for... I donât know how long. Tears streamed down my face as I looked out. It was as though my whole body sighed. I could hear the birds chirping. Some animals burrowing. And different bugs navigating their already long morning.
Pause.
It doesnât mean to quit.
It doesnât mean stop.
It means... allow.
It means to put on hold. Maybe for a minute... a day... And then you pick up up again, or not. Maybe you have a new perspective.
Itâs hard for me to pause... Honestly, a couple friends keep me accountable. Otherwise, I will keep working... the accountability was put into place a couple of years ago because of an old fear that I will look up one day and realized that I worked my life away instead of truly living it! Sound familiar? Iâm still not great at it... but I do know how I feel after a good Pause. Which is why I keep nudging you to find that that too. Itâs life giving.
Maybe you canât go on a trip right now... but you can carve out time everyday for stillness. Even once a month for a sound bath. Find moments to pause.

âIâm not going to fight against something. Iâm going to fight for something.â
âIâm not going to fight against something. Iâm going to fight for something.â
Sometimes I feel like my job is really to have conversations with people.. asking them questions about the things they are holding onto.
âWhere are you giving your power away?â
âAre you happy in the job/relationship?â
âWhat about your health/body you struggling with?â
There is a belief system attached to all of these things. There is a perspective that they are holding on to that is keeping them trapped in the same pattern. Same health. Same relationships. THESE THINGS that they are fighting for and holding on to as their identities.
Yet, at any moment, we can decide to be someone new. We can choose to fight for something different. Something better. But it will take letting go of whatâs comfortable and familiar, and step into a place you havenât been.
Itâs a choice to hold resentment.
Itâs a choice to stay in the job.
Itâs a choice to open your heart to love and stay, but itâs also a choice to love and to go.
Itâs a choice to speak differently to yourself.
Dr Joe Dispenzaâs research on shifting your belief is eye opening. If you can get to a place of experiencing pure consciousness your body, mind, and heart will shift and start to repair.
He says, âyou canât think your way out of thinking. You canât ego your way out of ego.â It takes a lot of time. But getting to a place of pure consciousness is like the Sonic the Hedgehog fast track for your mind-body!
Sound baths a great way to help you get to that state. The next one is next week! Wednesday the 6th. I have opportunities for you on the Eastside, Westside, and East Cobb/Marietta. AND a special/INTENSE sound healing experience called Sound Journey on the 17th, as well as an epic experience through Quantum Meditation, Kundalini Yoga, and Sound Bath!(that one is a fundraiser, too!) Thatâs March 21!đ
March, is DOPE! I canât wait to see you for one/all these experiences! Stop fighting against the life you donât want... fight for the life YOU DO WANT. Link in bio for details and to sign up!

The path in front of me...
The path in front of me...
A mom tried to get me to influence her kid into going to college.. I ask him if he had an interest in anything. He said no. I turned to the mom and responded,â Youâre not going to like my answer. I donât think everyone needs to go to college. NOW you want to be a doctor, lawyer, go to college... otherwise go travel if you can, sleep on some couches, and find out who you are and what youâre passionate about.â
The mom wasnât exactly happy about my response... but she was polite. đ
We are fed so much from society, school, our families, and peers on who we should be, how we should act, what we should do... granted this is a gross over generalization, here, but for many people this is what life is. We get to 18 and we feel like we are suppose to have a plan and know what we want to do.
I didnât know what I was going to do, so my back up plan to not knowing was to join the military and play saxophone in the military band. đ I just happened to go to a college fair where there was a sweet lady who talked me into trying for a scholarship at an art school... I got the scholarship, and got my BFA in Photographic Imaging instead! 10 years later I am working as a Sound Therapist! đĽ°
The path in front of you is your choice to make. You can take the one readily available, the one youâre told to take, (which may be an area that actually interest you!) or, take out the machete and clear a new path!
I know some of you are struggling with purpose. Itâs ok. Come to a sound bath, and connect inward. The answers are there. You just have to give yourself permission to see, do, and be YOU.

My month is coming to a close...
My month is coming to a close...
One more sound bath tomorrow (Sunday, Feb 24th). We have a small group for this one so if you have been looking for more time with me, tomorrow would be a great day to come!
âSound Journeyâ is a bit different from âRelax in Soundâ. Iâm putting myself in a more vulnerable position. I allow myself to drop deep into the meditative state with you which means, I am putting a lot of trust into my guides to allow whatever needs to come out for you, come out. There is no outline. I donât know what instruments will be played... and I donât know where exactly I go!
This is a channeling. đ

When itâs good⌠Hold on!
When itâs good⌠Hold on!
Remember why you came in the first place.
Remember what brought you back again and again.
A sound bath with me is a time to remember.
Remember the time when you felt good in your body?
Remember the time you were pain free?
That time the mind chatter didnât run your life?
That time you felt rested?
âŚThat time you felt peace⌠whole.
There are a few opportunities to come see me for a sound bath this week and this weekend, however, tonightâs (Wednesday, Feb 20th) sound bath at The center of Love and Light and tomorrows (Thursday, Feb 21st) at Bar Method Atlanta- East Cobb are meant to support you in not just remembering⌠but GET YOU BACK to how you felt when you didnât feel so heavy, tired, or scattered.
Hold on! Because things are about to get REAL GOOD! See you soon.đ

âThe statistics on how many people actually follow through and accomplish their New Yearâs resolutions are rather grim. Studies have shown that less than 25% of people actually stay committed to their resolutions after just 30 days, and only 8% accomplish them. â Well, thanks Forbes!
80% of New Year's resolutions fail by February (the Nielsen analytics firm)
Are you feeling yourself fall off the wagon?
C â Canât find the time.
L â Lacking a game plan to keep you going.
I â Ignoring your commitment and falling into old patterns.
F â Frustrated with lack of early results.
F â Forgetting why you started.
(CLIFF brought to you by Golds Gym)
Donât fall off the CLIFF! Donât be part of that statistic!
Sure! Things happen! You have the gluten free chocolate cake with coconut ice cream from Barcelona Wine Bar even though you had it 3 nights in a row already! (YOU, too! Itâs my favorite!) You impulse buy that extra gong from Dream Cymbals and Gongs instead of putting the money in your savings because you fell in love with its shimmer! (That shimmer, tho!) You go with the flow and let the night take you away in adventures even though you know you made an appointment to go to a gym class at 6:30am! đ¤Śđźââď¸ (Feel ALIVE!)
SO YOU LIVE LIFE! That doesnât mean you completely stop your goals to improve and evolve your life and health for the better! Show yourself some compassion, finish that bite of cake, hit your gong, and be open to adventure!
Life is suppose to be joyful, full of love, laughter, adventure, and surprise! (At least it is to me!) And when itâs not, I look within.
What belief do I have about myself?
How am I talking to myself?
Whose voices/opinions am I allowing to make decisions for me?
Where can I empower myself in this situation?
Come to a sound bath and letâs see whatâs really preventing you from moving forward with your goals? Then, we can help you stick to it! (Next Sound Bath is Wednesday, Feb 20th- link below for all available sound baths or visit About for more on Danielle -ME- and SoundEmbrace.com

Soooo... THIS IS HAPPENING!
Soooo... THIS IS HAPPENING!
Most of you know that I started the SoundEmbrace Give Back initiative last year with our first fundraiser at the Fernbank Science Center Planetarium. We raised just over $15,000 to bring Sound Healing Therapy into Kates Club AND Chris 180! While that was a GREAT start to begin our work in those programs, it is not enough to take us through the whole year.
Suzanne Adams reached out and expressed her interest in supporting this mission. She is producing an EPIC experience at the SCAD SHOW theater where ticket sales will go towards providing sound healing therapy at Kate's Club!!!
Throughout the evening you will go on a powerful journey mixed with kundalini meditation from Leigh Mallis from Leigh Mallis Kundalini, a quantum meditation from Suzzanne, and a powerful and healing sound bath immersion from me! SoundEmbrace!!!
Suzanne will also share a 5-step process that you can implement right away to Quantum Leap into the life of your dreams.
Please help me spread the word. It is Thursday, March 21rst
THANK YOU for supporting this mission.

SoundEmbrace Episode 1 - Making Space: A love Story
Making Space.
With Valentines Day cruising right on by I am reminded of a talk I heard on giving your heart away. The speaker illustrated his view on love and suggested that rather than the perspective of âgiving your heart awayâ, why not keep it, and, âmake spaceâ for them in your heart instead?
I LOVE THIS concept! And it is something I have adopted. Here is my version of this story.
Making Space: A Love Story.
I met a handsome guy. We âhugged it outâ (because I hug everyone I meet) and we hit it off! Awesome! I felt a connection so I decided to let him into my heart⌠but not my whole heart! I welcome him in offering only the space of the meditation cushion I have designed JUST for him. Pretty SWEET, right!?
After he visits a few times I am shown by his actions that he really takes care of the space and totally digging my style for his meditation cushion! My trust in him grows so I decide I am going to give him a couch! After all! We both work hard and sometimes we really just like to just Netflix + Chill! A couch is waaaay more comfortable for that!
One day, I realize that I really like hanging out with him⌠like REALLY like hanging out with him. Of course the feeling is mutual because we are both awesome people! So⌠I decide I am going to make more space for him in my heart by giving him a condo! I let him decorate it however he wants, including having the latestâs Nintendo, PlayStation, and/or Xbox! Because lets face it! I am pretty independent and need my alone time from time to time! Moving on!
Some time goes by, we are having fun and talking about the future. My heart swells with so much love that it makes space to build him a mansion with a lake/ocean hybrid in the backyard for him to fish, jet ski, or ponder lifeâs mysteries!
I look around in awe of the space I have created and have entrusted to this person. Everything is beautiful! And I feel amazing as I take in the love all around me.
But then something happens.
It wasnât planned.
I never saw it coming.
âŚWe break up.
He moves out of house I built for him.
Anger fills my being and start trashing the place!
I tear down pictures!
I smash anything and everything!
And then I set the house on fire!
As I watch the house blaze up in smoke, I can feel the rise and fall of my chest as tears stream down my face. I think about the space I made for him. And I feel the void.
Although he has moved out of my heart, there is still this space that was left behind. So what now do I do with this space?
Its not like the space goes back to where it started. To become what it was it had to grown and to be stretched and molded!
I rebuild.
I clean up the broken pieces and ash and build something beautiful and healing in its place. Not to cover up where he had been or the hurt I felt, but to celebrate my capacity to love! For my courage to love!
Maybe I build the dopest dance floor!
Maybe I build radest water park!
Maybe I build the SWEETEST sound healing temple made with sacred geometry and crystal walls!
I build it to celebrate this beautiful space that represents my capacity to love and to love so, so, BIG! So that when I look across the landscape of my heart it is filled with beauty, and gratitude!
Eventually, it will happen again. I will meet someone new. He will be cute. We will hug it out⌠and I give it another shot. I will feel enough of a connection with him to make space in my heart. I will invite him in to sit on a meditation cushion made just for him. And with time, I will gain the confidence through his actions to make a little more space⌠and then a little more. Opening myself up little by little, to experience the most courageous thing any of us can ever do, LOVE.

Heart + Science
Heart + Science
The heart is actually part of our cognitive system, sending more messages to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. Electrically, the heart is 40-60 times stronger than the brain and is many more times stronger than any other electrical impulse in the body.
âThe sciences of psychology and medicine are in midst of a major paradigm shift as research findings have uncovered that the heart is a sensory organ that can learn, hold memory and make independent functional decisions. Even more surprising is the fact that the heart displays qualities of neuroplasticity and that it can reorganize itself by growing new neural connections, just as the brain can do.â â Applied Consciousness .
Many times we are experiencing these feelings beneath the surface of our consciousness, yet our body is still responding to the conflict between the brain and the heart.
Having this understanding helps in showing ourselves a little more compassion.
We know that sound and vibration can be used to change neuroplasticity within the brain. I would hypothesize that it can do the same for the heart! Whether attached or single hope to see you at the next weeks sound bath, Feb. 20th! Link in bio.â¤ď¸
