We are moving into the year of the 6
We are moving into the year of the 6.
“2022 adds up to a 6 Universal Year, which is all about accepting and assuming responsibility. After the multitude of changes and adjustments that the 5 Universal Year brought us in 2021, it's time for the world to acclimate to a new pace and make the most of our new reality.”
Work toward something meaningful
6 is a very responsible number, so while this 6 Universal Year is a good one to make serious efforts toward your dreams, don’t indulge in flights of fancy. Instead, put your effort into building something that can withstand the test of time. If you work hard, you could embark on a journey that lasts the rest of your life, or at least builds the foundations of your future.
Strengthen your existing relationships
While 2021 allowed you to focus more on your own needs, 2022 encourages you to touch base with the people in your life and remember just how important their presence is, for a whole multitude of reasons. Make people feel appreciated and let them know the value they have in your life.
Increase your social circle
Regardless of how many friends you already have, the 6 Universal Year makes a point of sending interesting and meaningful new relationships our way. Many of the people you meet this year could have a major impact on your life for years to come, so consider socializing to be something of a mandate in 2022.
Seek out stability
The 6 Universal Year invites you to find a grounded place from which to operate, leaving behind the uncertainty of the past year and putting a premium on building a firm foundation. This might sound unexciting, but it can bring you a lot of stability and peace of mind moving forward.

Quote by Francis Densmore
The Medicine Man, taking his music with him, is passing quietly into the Great Silence, where the old songs were “Received in Dreams” by “inner-plane communication. - Francis Densmore (1867-1957) friend of Geronimo
For a moment take pause to remember those who have passed on from this plane and celebrate their memory.
For just a moment remember those who have experienced loss. Share a beautiful memory. Doing so will remind them they are not alone.
And for just one more minute remember those who your are unable to be near. That distance is no barrier to love. But a testimonial to its depth.
I love you! Happy Holidays near and far.

Finding a New Sense of Equilibrium
Finding a new sense of equilibrium.
The count down is almost through and then another will commence. Are we counting down moments to an end or of moments of arrival?
Small town living cramps the style of my big city mind filled with scattered ambitious thoughts fighting to be let loose. And yet my heart tells me there is nothing to do right now... that “Here” is exactly where I am suppose to be.
Feeling the seconds of the day with each cool inhale.
Remembrance of what was and what has become, with each warm exhale. Immersed in the squeals of laughter from little nieces.
Lost in the colorful cascade of lights of the Christmas tree.
Early morning coffee joined by cuddles from my brothers dog.
Dad’s sarcasm. Mom’s check ins.
Long talks with my siblings.
The quiet here at night is immeasurable.
And so is my gratitude.
For so very long I've felt disconnected from this life, and now I have a glimpse of how my worlds can come together.
I feel it all.
Every little bit.
I find peace in this moment.
And I wish that for you.
3 of 4 Levels of Sound in Nada Yoga
The third level of sound is where the visual world and auditory world intersect and eventually overlap and merge.
So on the radio sound effects are used to help us visualize a place or circumstance and on television sound effects are used in the same way to enhance an on screen location or represent an off camera action.
So first it is a sound picture; this visual of an object, a place or a person summoned by a specific sound. Even a place or situation we may not have experienced can be built by sound.
Sounds can provide a pathway for our memory that triggers parts of a picture that we then assemble into this whole.
Second it is also possible to hear an abstract sound and generate a visual narrative like an internal movie. We do this with our intuitive imagination. We can get a feeling from the music and imagine a scene to go with it. Going a step further we can also construct an abstract picture of the sound itself. It's a picture that's not really identifiable as an object that we might see in our waking life, our real world. It can be either a visual of the whole sound or visual representations of the notes. This intersection can float both ways. Not only can a sound generate a visual but a visual can generate a sound. An internal picture of someone we remember may cross over into hearing something that they said. In any visual, moving or still image can have its own soundtrack in our mind.

Quote by Jagannath Carrera
Reverend Jagannath Carrera says in the Yoga Sutras; "Nada, the first vibration of which all creation manifests.
Sound is the first manifestation of the absolute Brahman in the same way each of us are vibrating on many levels. We are vibrating from the subatomic to the cellular level, from the rhythm of our respiration to the pulse of our heart, from the vibrational tension of our muscles to the micro electrical pulses of our nervous system. There is also within us a vibration and internal sound. This is the Nada."

Happy Winter Solstice!
“No one knew the name of this day; Born quietly from deepest night, It hid its face in light, Demanded nothing for itself, Opened out to offer each of us A field of brightness that traveled ahead, Providing in time, ground to hold our footsteps And the light of thought to show the way. The mind of the day draws no attention; It dwells within the silence with elegance.” -John O'Donohue
Light a candle to sit with what’s needing action within.
We will soon all be taking action outwardly. ❤️
Happy Winter Solstice!
I Have Given in to My Addiction.
I have given in to my addiction.
The romantic, sappy, predictive, Christmas movies playing on streaming services has me tearing up, drinking Malbec, and eating Godiva chocolate covered cashews.
Send help if this continues after Christmas…
Just saying… it’s 2am.
Do I keep going?
Everything is energy.
Everything is energy.
All energy has a wave form.
Wave form give off a frequency.
Frequency gives an object its resonance!
There is so much more to Sound Healing than just dinging bowls.

The Long Game.
The Long Game.
I have had many goals with SoundEmbrace over the years. All with the mission of elevating the industry of Sound Healing Therapy to help more people live a life they love waking up to everyday!
As students go through my program I often share that it would be daunting to think about climbing a mountain without ever having had put on a harness before.
So if you have an idea of where you would like to go, or the community of people you would like to help, working backwards from that goal is helpful in creating a strategic plan to get there. But! Try not to be so attached to the plan that you miss out on opportunities along the way!
While using sound to heal entered into my life in 7th grade band class, here is a snippet of my SEE timeline:
2010 - Body deteriorating / Found out I am allergic to gluten
2011 - Body healing. I devour info to try to understand what happened.
2012 - Dove into learning about Sound Healing
2013 - Had a 1 on 1 practice + group monthly sessions
2014 - Corporate + Small Speaking Engagements
2015 - Therapy Centers + Created job opportunities for practitioners.
2016 - Homeless/Pivot/Regroup/Still doing above.
2017 - Speaking Engagement (400 people!) + Sound Experience
2018 - More speaking engagements + all the above.
2019 - Spoke at first medical conference in person/ Hospital and Non Profits, Opened a Sound Healing Store, Started a Certification Program.
2020 - Virtual Membership Platform + Spoke at 2nd medical conference (virtual).
2021 - Almost done with my Masters Degree and continuing the process of creating an associates degree in Sound Healing Therapy.
... my students are doing all of the above in less time than it took me!!!
The point? It’s cumulative. What's your “Long Game”?
(And no, it doesn’t have to be business related.)
Maybe it begins with Level 1 of the SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification program?

Quote About Intent
Intent is the energy behind the sound.
It is the consciousness that we have when we're making and projecting a sound.

I can see it.
The fidgeting.
The jerk of a leg.
The deep slow breath turned rapid.
The brow furrowed.
The clenched hands.
I can sense it.
The weight on my shoulders.
The temperature shift.
The knowings.
The taste of metals.
The emotions building.
Heart swell!
Heart swell!
Research shows that when measuring neurotransmitters of people in a meditation designed to activate their heart, the heart releases a chemical called Oxytocin (the love chemical).
Oxytocin signals Nitric oxide, Nitric oxide signals Endothelial Derived Relaxin factor, which then causes the vessels in your heart to swell so you will literally have energy in your heart. You will feel like your heart is full! ❤️
Once the heart is activated, it acts as an amplifier 💓 and it amplifies energy in the brain. So once you activate and open the heart, and it begins to signal the brain, you actually suppress the survival centers. And research shows that when we do this, it will reset your baseline.
It’s the heart that actually resets the amygdala of the brain. The amygdala is where we hold our emotions.

Acoustics of Buildings
Polio lent tremendous insight into acoustics of buildings and the power of echo and reverberation.
It was learning how to create this architecture so that when an individual went into a space and would go into song or chant or invocation, the reverberation would support them in reaching higher states of consciousness and connection to a Divine Force.

Sound Healing Therapy is not going away anytime soon.
Sound Healing Therapy is not going away anytime soon.
As more and more awareness of this powerful therapy gets out, I see more and more of my alumni students working with Hospitals, Therapy Centers, Corporations, Festivals, and Non-profits.
With all this buzz, we are seeing a wave of interest in new practitioners to the field. We are witnessing the growth of Sound Healing in classes, coaching/therapy sessions, and in music production.
The danger?
New practitioners entering the field are unaware of how sound affects the body and how to adapt in their sessions.
The SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification Program will empower you to create sessions that support your clients on their path to healing as well provide a foundation to speak from on this work with confidence.
It will also support you in building a foundation for your business to launch by the time you have completed the program!
The Sound Healing Certification Program is for those who are ready to make a difference in their community. This is a NO JOKE program that will take you beyond the limitations you put on yourself and support you in breaking free into a state of empowered leadership!
Sign up for a free consultation call with me with the link in bio. Begin Level 1 (SEE1) today, and I will see you for our virtual immersion in January!
Can you believe it!
Can you believe it! 18 more students graduating by January 11! It’s hard to believe this seed of an idea back in 2013 manifested in this way.

I get asked quite often how I got into teaching Sound Healing. Frankly, it was because I didn’t trust my energy (or my ears for that matter!) with other practitioners. 😩
AND! at a certain point in my career I realized, no matter how much I believed in the power of this work and my ability to do it… I was not the right voice in all communities to translate this powerful tool for transformation, and in making it more accessible… I needed to pass on the knowledge.
I launched the SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification Program late 2019 and am constantly humbled and inspired by the men and women who have gone through my program. To witness their journey and see how they translate the teachings in their own lives and in facilitating for the communities they are passionate about serving is more than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you all for following along on this journey for all of these years.
Each free :::SoundOn::: Community sound bath is also a fundraiser to create job opportunities for alumni. This fundraising capital goes towards paying alumni practitioners accepted proposal for sound healing community services.
As we dive deeper into the holiday season where stress is known to build, check the link in bio or SoundEmbrace.com/calendar to sign up for these FREE virtual sound baths and/or to donate. Our first goal is $10k and to launch choose the proposal process in January!
When gratitude practices were bull$hit!
I remember when I first heard about gratitude practices and thought it was a bull$hit way to bypass your true feelings.
While there are people who do use this practice as a mask to not face what is truly there, I have found it a powerful way to shift the lens I am looking through to see if there are new ways of understanding myself and others.
I don’t remember when the switch happened in my head but its now just a natural part of my evening practice I do at night as I am going to sleep.
I simply say to myself “I am grateful for_____” and the blanks begin to populate.
It’s whoever, and whatever comes to mind.
I don’t judge it or myself.
And I have noticed over time that even in the the most challenging, brutal moments of life, I am still able to see and feel the good.

Just a note...
The nights are getting longer and we are full steam ahead for the Holidays! How do you do the Holidays?
Do you split the household between parents?
Are you a "Friendsgiving" turkey crasher like I am?
Have you already shopped your heart out for the best gift ever?
Or do you operate last minute? ...Maybe you're not into it all?
Ooof! Whatever the case and/or preference, it's an interesting time of year filled with many emotions. As we all begin to dive into these shifting energies, remember to take moments of pause. Connecting back to Self is key so you don't get swept up (or under) the current.
