Harmoniaalto A Wave to Harmony

I had a chance of a lifetime to include a steel cello in my sound healing.

I was in Upstate New York participating in an advanced training for playing the monochord, and the location had a steel cello. I had never seen or heard it played. It was love at first sight! Most people connected the sound with Halloween, and true enough, it has been used in many scary movies. I don't watch them, so I didn't have that association. To me, the sound was simply profound and traveled to places in my body that no other sound has ever been to - all those deep, dark corners, hidden from everyday life. Discovering mysteries and forgotten events in my life. All together a very healing experience.

I could not pass up the opportunity to include it in my sound bath offering. I played it for a few minutes in the beginning with soft mallets and the beams only - softly and gently. It was just amazing. No recording of it, but here is a different, and definitely more professional take on it.

I think this performance is just a perfect expression of today's world, even though it was recorded in 1989.

Last week, I had a woman come to my private practice since she was gifted a sound healing session by her daughter-in-law. This was her first time with sounds, and she wasn't sure what to expect.

I explained to her how sound vibrations can be felt throughout the body. You may also see colors, and old memories may pop up. Gently allow the sounds to move through and transport you to a lucid dreaming state.

When we finished, she said. How extraordinary! My body feels so relaxed, my mind is refreshed, and most of all, thank you for the art show! I saw so many colors moving and changing. It was so unexpected and beautiful.

You never know what happens in these sessions - you just need to be open to whatever comes through. She left with a big smile on her face, heading to a store to get some art supplies.

It’s a monsoon season in Kathmandu Nepal and the sound of the rain has been with us all night long. It’s a wonderful accompaniment to my morning meditation at the Shetchen Monastery Guest House. And also an introduction to my new bowls 💗😁🎶

This blew my mind today ❣️ Device that creates sounds (from downloaded sound library) with touch!

Crdl, pronounced “cradle,” a wooden musical instrument with electronics hidden inside that’s played by human-to-human physical contact. Tap someone’s shoulder while both of you have a hand on the Crdl and you might hear a violin; squeeze their hand and you might unlock a joyous symphonic swell. The musical translation, the company says, helps those with dementia understand that they are valued and loved.

My heart sings with this new way of connecting in this time of isolation.

Lately, I have started to pay more attention to the silence after a sound healing session. That potent silence is the reason to do this work. It is a moment when I can imagine a door opening to a space where everything is fresh, available, and abundant. I've started to lengthen this moment, guiding people to look for it and embrace it before moving.

We come to sound baths to change something - the silence at the end is the time to integrate and shift - feel the abundance. Once you have that sensation, you know what to look for in your life.

Here is a wonderful article about silence. There is no better way to calm your nervous system than silence - BUT we live in such a highly stimulated environment that "many people report restlessness, anxiety, or even physical symptoms like headaches when first reducing their usual sound stimulation". Don't feel bad if this happens to you - slowly lengthen the silent times during your day.

Silence heals the brain and nervous system naturally by reducing stress, restoring sleep, and enhancing cognitive performance.
