Silence & Noise

23/10/2025

This weekend I’m playing a Sunday Brunch session at beautiful .goa in Anjuna…

This place has been on my vision board all year!

Much as I LOVE my South Goa fam and home, I’m excited to spend more time this season travelling again (yep that footloose Sag Moon is rising…) and bringing my sound odyssey experiences to new spaces and faces.

North Goa, looking forward to seeing you for a gorgeous morning by the waves - a little splash of tarot, astrology and reiki to accessorise your sound journey, a transcendent, flowy surf through consciousness. Followed by brunch!

What’s not to love?! ❤️

The last 24 hours has brought a lot of conflict energy up, a a blindsiding shock after a few months of relative peace.

This morning I was on the beach way before sunrise, walking and meditating off a night of lying awake worrying, relistening to voicenotes, turning over TOV in my head, asking myself if it’s me or them, what I’m learning and what/if/where I need to change.

My brain was swimming with stinging words and interactions that dragged up old memories, betrayals and sadness; so I turned to the charts to guide me.

Sure enough there’s transit Mars sitting right on my MC/10th house cusp & a degree off my Sun, bringing fire, will, and conflict to my career space. Take no prisoners energy. It made sense.

Although uncomfortable and quite sad today, the chart reassured me that I need to uphold the boundaries and firmness that triggered this unhappy situation. With transit Chiron opposing the Sun, I was also reminded that transformative HEALING LOOKS & FEELS MESSY (because it is).

I figured that the only way through what read as heavy criticism and character assassination is to dig deep for breath, to take a cool calm look at why my personality has triggered someone, and to consider what I need to learn.

Also key is to remember to honour myself and not instantly try to change simply to meet someone else’s preferences.

Just because someone doesn’t like what you say or how you say it, doesn’t make you wrong, or your personality or character broken. You just can’t be for everyone. It’s ok to not be liked. Life is impossible otherwise.

I also remembered that over-apologising in an effort to smooth conflict (my MO for so many years) is not the one.

Astrology always holds me in these wobbly moments - along with tarot, sunrise, a swim and a really good cry. The cards gave me more reassurance, and the little bit of a boost I needed to get through the day and get clear on what I need to take away from this experience.

If astrological wisdom feels like the inner therapist waiting to hold you too, drop me a message and we can have a look at your chart for guidance on what’s got you all fired up, smashed down, or feeling sensitive today.

Here’s the truth about sound healer training…

⏳It takes more than 3 days.

☠️ You’ll realise you actually really don’t like ALL instruments (and maybe you’ll hate the ones that made you sign up).

😭 You’ll definitely cry.

🙇‍♀️ It’s more mentally difficult than you think and will require full-on focus and application.

💤 You’ll ache physically and your hands will probably hurt.

🌀Your sleep will be CRAAAAZY.

✋ It can feel like a year of therapy in a week and you’ll need to make space to integrate it all.

🫶🏼 But you’ll never ever regret saying YES.

🌙 Following your intuitive pings.

🎶 Into your future as a sound healer of conscience, impact, and unique cultivated skill and identity.

Like these beautiful women pictured in the slides who have graduated Silence & Noise trainings and are now out there bringing their own individual interpretations of sound healing to the world.

There’s no cookie-cutter copycat protocols or ripped off content here. And absolutely nothing written by ChatGPT 🏴‍☠️

Real talk, real vibes, spiritual realism and sound healing for the world we live in, rather than the one we wish we did.

The next cohort takes place in South Goa in just a month from now - 2nd-9th Nov.

⏳ Who were you in 2006?

Specifically Sept 22nd, 2006.

Because that stuff is about to be put through the cosmic nutrilbullet for the last time.

22/9/2006 saw a solar eclipse at 29° Virgo.

Just like the one we’ll experience this coming Sunday - a mirrored solar eclipse at 29° Virgo (at 19.43 UTC)

It’s one of those sexy long range astrological moments that’s ALL about bookends, closing chapters and rising into the upgrade you’ve been developing, probably subconsciously, for all that time.

Especially for those of us in our 40s currently steering the dodgems of midlife transits (bumpy AF), this is an undeniable chrysalis moment.

Wherever the final degree of Virgo sits in your chart is the apex vibe to check. Virgo is our psychosomatic inner devotee, the student of our own science of being. The part that gets us into those mega morning routines and reminds us of everything we can receieve when in our own highest vibration. Your Virgo self is ready to download a lesson that’s been 18 years in the making.

What’s yours?

I’ve got an online gathering to unpack it all on Sunday 21st as well as a few LIMITED spontaneous 1:1 slots. We can focus on whatever you like, but under such auspicious energy, we’ll definitely be flipping the timeline and scoping out your Virgo/Libra cusp.

Anyway, so where were you in 2006? Here’s mine ⬆️⬆️⬆️ or whatever I could find is it was alarmingly pretty-smartphone!

it will be useful for you too.

Neuroscience research shows that the optimum time for using entrained frequencies for brain health is around 30 minutes.

But you can start to feel the effects in just 3 minutes.

Especially if your nervous system is jacked, you’re in anxiety/panic, or running on high cortisol levels.

This 3 minute sonic timeout blends the benefits of a couple of generalised balancing frequencies with a specific 174Hz tone - sometimes called the Foundation Frequency - a great tool for quickfire pain relief and emotional soothing.

I’m also working with harmonious intervals (moving between. 4th and 5th) throughout this video, which create a cognitive sense of completeness in the brain >> translates into feelings of stability and reassurance in the body and mind.

Even if you don’t have time for a full meditation or morning ritual, 3 minutes can be just enough to take the edge off an unsettled or uneasy start, and sets the tone (literally) for a more regulated nervous system.

You’re welcome.

The full moon weather here on the south coast was perfectly in alignment with the Aquarian ruler - Uranus, the Greek God of sky 💨

The wind was lashing the beach all afternoon, the waves HUGE as the crew poured into the sea under the moonrise. Nature’s intense power!

How are you feeling, post full moon? 🌕

With a powerful kite across the astrological chart bringing Mars x Saturn into play as well, this moon packed a PUNCH.

Which makes so much sense, given that Aquarius is the sign of the collective, uprising, rebellion, and revolution - as always I’m humbled by the clarity that nature’s patterns and cycles bring to the experience of humanity here on earth.

I decided to sit out the overtly Aquarian activities this weekend and instead contemplate what I personally needed to learn from this cycle. This moon fell very karmically in opposition to my north node in Leo, and after a rocky week of power struggles and conversation around sovereignty, courage and confidence (Leo), the challenges illuminated by this moon NEEDED processing, supported by my own ‘pride’ - cat analogy for my besties.

By this morning, I’m really clear.

In opposition, Aquarius reminds us of the shadow of Leo - that leadership usually means upsetting people, and having to be unafraid to do so.

When you start losing friends, rocking the boat, noticing copyists, gossip, backstabbing, and people generally having an opinion you… it means that you are stepping UP and into your mission.

This is an uncomfortable growth edge for me. After spending much of this year enduring backlash/abandonment, I’m finding myself having to grit my teeth for another round. But since the new moon in Aqua back in Feb, I’ve learned I can - and have to - let go of other people’s opinions.

I’ve found my own roar - my sacred NO.

* No I won’t accept this.
* No you can’t speak to me like that.
* No I won’t change who I am to make you feel more comfortable.

My takeaway from this moon?

Someone has to go first.
oracle wrote beautifully on this. I love her words - go check her out.

Thank you for your company and wise words this weekend.

Instant anxiety fixes that I can’t live without:

😬FACE/JAW MASSAGE
When anxiety kicks in, the muscles in the jaw, neck and under the ears often seize up FAST and start to send stabby little arrows down the nerves. A little power gua-sha is great if you have the right tool lying around, but your knuckles or middle finger pads will do the job perfectly well.

🏊‍♀️SWIMMING ARMS
MAKE your chest open by stretching your arms as wide as you can - imagine doing a butterfly swimming stroke - whilst taking BIG DEEP BREATHS (4-4-8 box breathing is also a handy technique). I noticed Stu from was recommending this just the other day too, but suggesting hanging off doorframes. SOLID TIP.

🐾WALK
Move your body as soon as you feel able to - it took me about 8 minutes from when the attack started. Getting one foot in front of the other feels like torture at first but it’s like going for a run - the first 30 secs suck and then it levels out. Just keep going and your heart will slow down and come with you eventually. Take a pet if you can.

🍿EAT CRISPS
Yes really. That lockjaw also activates the sort of freeze that sets off teeth grinding - a massive anxiety symptom. Crunching a hard snack helps to work the grind out organically and keep the jaw moving to reduce pain and panic.

🎧LISTEN TO GONGS
They produce theta brainwaves FAST. These are excellent for rapidly slowing the brain down, disconnecting it from the source of anxiety and inducing a semi-trance state similar to an instant tranquilizer. Before you know it, the pulsing rib ache will have calmed right down.

That’s why the first thing I did was get my headphones on whilst I did a face massage, then managed to walk to the shop for some hula hoops, whilst ‘swimming’ my arms on the way. Who cares what it looks like if it works!

Gongs make up 04 UNWIND in my NeuroTone: 247 Soundtrack series, and are the perfect antidote to moments of mental fatigue as well as the big anxiety traumas. Also ideal for the bridge between work and rest every evening.

Whether you identify as neuro-normative, super-divergent or something else, sounds profoundly affect your brain’s wiring, responsiveness and effectiveness.

I REALLY struggle with stuff like multiple conversations in one room, having two different noise sources in earshot (like TV in one room, radio next door) and ESPECIALLY travel-related noises like PA announcements and road rumble. The sensory overload often leaves me with panic attacks and confusion.

I choose my sounds carefully - for working on the road I always use something that will cultivate an ALPHA BRAINWAVE STATE - supportive of rich learning, deep focus and reduced distraction.

Crystal singing bowls are the PERFECT conduit - when (and only when) played correctly by someone with proper training and understanding of frequency.

My NeuroTone series (lin3in b!o) contains 03 FOCUS - a crystal soundtrack designed to do all the above. It’s what I’m listening to in this video.

I listen with my eyes closed for a few minutes and then with my brain entrained to the alpha state, I find that I can get work done even when surrounded by the many distractions of life lived on public transport! Laptop open!

Alpha brainwaves can benefit cognitive function:
* promote concentration
* help minimise external distraction
* support more decisive, clarified thinking
* can improve memory
* slow down sensory overload
* enhance drishti, dharana and dhyana (yogic interpretation of focus, stilling the mind and withdrawing the senses)

I also make the most of the right soundtrack by creating a cocoon for myself with my fave noise cancelling devices: mine are Samsung Galaxy2 Buds and I also can’t be parted from my Bose QC35II headphones or for noise control without music, my Loop Quiet2 earplugs (they filter rather than block and I can’t live without them).

Check out NeuroTone for more sounds to support your brain. I made it to help myself through the day - I hope it helps you too!

I also REALLY recommend matching your earbuds to your jumpsuit btw! 🤣
