Here’s a story about the echidna, this cute little critter is a creature of mystery and resilience, known for its spiny armor and deep connection to the earth. And among some mobs, it is said that the echidna was once a warrior who refused to fight in a great battle, instead choosing to bury himself in the earth to avoid bloodshed. The Ancestors, seeing his peaceful nature and quiet strength, transformed him into the spiny echidna — a reminder that sometimes true power lies in stillness and protection, not aggression.

It walks close to the earth, with its snout pressed to the soil, feeling the vibrations of the land. It can teaches us to listen with more than our ears — to feel into the deeper rhythms of Country. Its slow, deliberate movements reflect an ancient wisdom, reminding us that there is no rush in nature. Everything unfolds in time. The echidna digs with purpose, creating small hollows that bring air and nourishment to the soil, becoming a quiet custodian of the land.

When we see one in nature it might be a time of inner reflection, boundaries, and protection. Maybe look at its quills like shields, teaching that it’s okay to guard our energy and take space when needed. Also remember underneath the spines is a soft and sensitive being — reminding us to honour our own softness even as we navigate the outer world. It could be time for grounding, self-examination, and reconnection to the earth beneath your feet.

Unfortunately due to a minor mishap involving my pushie on the weekend I have to cancel tonight’s Sound Journey to the Soul at Tinbeerwah.

But there was a life lesson in it.

All the choices that come up when going down an unknown path.

1. See the path, bail out before I start down it. 2. Start down, s**t myself grab big red button and abort the part that scares turn back go home to safety. 3. Go down the path, maintain and adjust balance, course correct, use the back brakes to slow down when required, ride out the other end. 4. As a great mate that rode solos (circuit motorcycle racing) used to say, “hold it flat turn left”.

Or what i did this time, go down the path, crash, check for major injuries, take some deep breaths, dust off, get back on the bike keep going with more mindfulness and learning from my mistake.

What if your body could listen — not just through your ears, but through every cell?

A recent study has revealed that our cells actually respond to sound. Not just in the brain or the nervous system, but at the deepest cellular level. Scientists found that sound waves can activate certain genes and even influence how stem cells grow — including guiding them to become fat cells. This changes everything we thought we knew about sound perception. It’s not just the ears doing the hearing… your whole body is listening.

This opens a whole new doorway in understanding how sound interacts with the body. It’s not just a feeling, or a vibe — sound becomes a biological signal. A force that speaks directly to your cells. For those of us working with sound as medicine, it’s a beautiful confirmation of what we’ve intuitively known: vibration is a language the body understands.

The implications are huge — not only for sound therapy, but for healing, regeneration, and reconnecting with how deeply woven we are into the rhythm of life.

This Wednesday night you can let go of stress and reset your nervous system as you immerse yourself in the ceremony of a Soulful Sound Journey of gongs, at Tinbeerwah Hall!

Harmonic sounds in Sound Therapy play a crucial role in stimulating the limbic system, the brain’s emotional centre. The limbic system which regulate emotions, memory, and physiological responses to stress includes key structures such as the amygdala for processing emotions, in particular fear and anxiety, also influences survival behaviours like flight - fight, The hippocampus that is primarily responsible for memory formation, particularly converting short-term memories into long-term storage. Also the hypothalamus that regulates many essential bodily functions, including body temperature, hunger, thirst, mood, sleep, and the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.

YOU step into a world of deep relaxation and inner harmony as you embark on a transformative sound experience. Letting the vibrations of gongs, didgeridoos, and singing bowls find residence in you to dissolve stress and tension while guiding you into a state of profound peace.

“The Mirror Dancer”

It is said the Dragonfly was shaped from the first light that touched still water — not drawn, but dreamed into flight.
She does not skim to escape, but to reveal. Where others chase depth, she moves on the surface, knowing it holds the sky.

In the old lagoon, where paperbarks lean in to whisper and lilies hold secrets beneath their blooms, Dragonfly dances. Not with haste, but with precision — each flicker a message, each pause a portal. The water listens. The wind learns.

Her wings catch more than light — they hold memory. Of rain before it falls. Of silence before it speaks. Her body glints with the knowing of cycles — birth, change, return.

The old ones say when your heart feels scattered, go to the lagoon and wait.
Let Dragonfly find you.
She will not speak.
But she will show you what is true.

There is so much more to receiving an Acoustic Massage then relaxing your body (BTW the session does that very well). Your neural system receives a reset, along with using Acutonics in the sessions I look to treat and support what may be causing of tension or disharmony in your body.

An Acoustic Massage is a blend of Acutonics, Lomi Lomi massage as well as sound vibrational instruments used on and off your body. An Acoustic Massage session is 2.5 and 3 hours.

This is what has been said about an Acoustic Massage session:

“Thank you, Francis, for guiding me on an unforgettable journey. Words truly fail to capture the depth of this experience. Every aspect of my being—energetic, physical, and emotional—was met with such profound care. I felt held and supported every step of the way. The flow was both subtle and intensely powerful, peeling away layers that had long been stuck, allowing me to release deeply rooted blockages. Energy moved through me in ways my mind hadn’t even been aware of, stirring vibrations and sounds on a level I’ve never felt before. This was a transformative experience, and I am truly grateful. 🙏🏽🫶🏽✨🌸”

Did you know…

Harmonic sounds in Sound Therapy (AKA Music Therapy) play a crucial role in stimulating the limbic system, the brain’s emotional centre. The limbic system which regulate emotions, memory, and physiological responses to stress includes key structures such as the amygdala for processing emotions, in particular fear and anxiety, also influences survival behaviours like flight - fight, The hippocampus that is primarily responsible for memory formation, particularly converting short-term memories into long-term storage. Also the hypothalamus that regulates many essential bodily functions, including body temperature, hunger, thirst, mood, sleep, and the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.

When exposed to harmonic sounds, the brain processes these vibrations in a way that can evoke deep emotional responses, promote relaxation, enhance mood and regulate neural responses. With research suggesting that specific frequencies and musical patterns can make sound therapy an effective tool for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma.

Additionally, harmonic sounds can facilitate emotional release by reducing activity in the brain’s fear centre while promoting a state of calm and balance. This neurological stimulation supports self-awareness and emotional healing, demonstrating why sound-based therapies are increasingly used in mental health and wellness practices.

Ultimately, music and sound therapies harnesses frequencies of sound to engage the brain’s natural ability to process and regulate emotions.
