Last Friday, I did a sound bath for the grand opening .dose.wellness in Sparwood, BC🏔️ Here’s a little Recap! Congrats Marisa🥰 Thank you so much for having me be apart of your big day! You have so much passion for what you do & I know you will do great🫶🏻

I get asked often where I learned to play the bowls like I do, or what lead me to them. Truthfully, I’d never actually even seen a singing bowl in real life until I started doing women’s circles at a new yoga studio in town just a couple summers ago (about a year after I started Rare Ember)! There were these frosted bowls on display in the space, & every time I was there, I always felt a deep sense of curiosity towards them. After a few months of seeing them untouched, I asked if I could borrow them…the moment I got them home & set up in my office is when my whole life purpose shifted…it was like some sort of ancient wisdom came alive in my soul, & I just ‘knew’ how to make those bowls sing. Zero clue how I knew…i just did. A week later, the owner asked if I’d play them during her yoga class. That was my 1st sound bath ever (there’s a small clip of it at the end of this video)! It wasn’t something I ever thought I’d be doing, but I just couldn’t stop…hence why I became ‘the crazy singing bowl lady’✌🏼

Rare Ember was born 3 years ago today from my own personal survival guide…I’ve built my entire life around what I do now. I took the hardest parts of my story & made it the most beautiful parts of my work.🥰 I’m really glad i didn’t learn it from someone else’s blueprint…I taught myself to trust what I create & know, wholeheartedly. It’s what makes my work so special…because it’s 100% me! I hope this inspires you to stop comparing or worrying about what the rest of the world is doing & follow your heart. Let your passions & creativity lead…it knows the way. Sometimes the journey doesn’t make sense, until it does. All you need to do is trust it, & create your own beautiful art. Whatever that might mean, or look like. This is your gift to the world, & Rare Ember is my gift to you❤️‍🔥 I’m so grateful for everyone who has been apart of this journey & has supported me…it’s everything🥹

You don’t have to move, you don’t have to talk…you don’t even have to know what a chakra is. All you need to really know is that it works. Just show up, get cozy & the bowls will do the rest🥰

The world feels heavy right now…& I think the hardest part is how much grief belongs to everyone at once. A collective sort of grief…because it isn’t just personal anymore. Headlines keep stacking, each one heavier than the last…war, corruption, greed, assassinations, disasters, poverty, leaders that don’t lead, images & stories that should never have to exist. It’s like the whole world, as a collective, is bracing for the next impact.

What I hold onto is that grief shows up because we care, & caring means we haven’t gone numb or lost our sense of humanity. It’s also possible to feel the unbearable truth of the cruelty people are capable of, yet still notice that beauty is still present…even if it sounds absolutely crazy for me to say this right now. I promise I’m not one of ‘those people’ who preach toxic positivity or tell you to ‘just be grateful & let it go because you can’t control it’. That’s just not how the nervous system works. Trauma, grief, & stress don’t move just because you change your thoughts or your mindset. Your nervous system also isn’t wired to carry the pain of the entire world, or even much further than what’s in our own backyard. It’s job is to keep you grounded in what’s near, & that’s often where the beautiful ‘little’ things live…silly little ordinary things that are still worth holding onto, especially when everything else feels like it’s on fire…& I think this is how we give the grief we are holding in our hearts a place to go.

So put your phone down. Take a break from the news. Go outside. Hug someone you love. Look up at the sky. Give flowers to a stranger. Light a candle for those who are gone. Notice the flickers of hope that are still stitched into the fabric of this crazy, chaotic world & keep rising from ash. Break cycles, & be the change. Lift each other up, high as the sky. Speak your truth louder. Fearlessly fight for what matters. Let hope burn brighter than a world in flames…& let it all be proof that even in the darkest parts of humanity, love is still here…& it will always win.❤️‍🔥

Before there was Rare Ember…

There was a girl who just wanted to help people feel less alone in their silent battles.
To be a voice when someone didn’t have one.
To fight for the ones who couldn’t fight for themselves.
To show people they were never actually broken
That healing is possible & that pain doesn’t mean failure.
That they were never actually hard to love.
She had already lived it.
She had already survived more than most will ever know.
And somehow, she still wasn’t afraid to feel.
Still wasn’t afraid to keep showing up
To keep fighting, keep rising, keep trying
Just to keep showing others they can too.
She’s never been afraid of the dark
Because sometimes the most beautiful parts of a person
are the ones they learned to carry in the darkness.

And she wanted you to know
you don’t have to carry them alone❤️‍🔥

I know I’ve been a little distant on here lately. The truth is, I’ve been struggling. When I first started sharing in my little corner of the internet, I promised to keep it real. Which sometimes means sharing the prickly real life stuff. Our world is comfortable with the highlight reel, but not so much with the middle parts…& that’s where I am right now. So I’m taking a moment to be vulnerable…After all, Im a human first✌🏼It’s been 6 months since my accident. I still don’t have my mobility back, walking is hard…still can’t drive or do yoga. Pain is a constant. I’m currently waiting on a 2nd surgery to have the plates & screws removed to see if that helps things. My surgeon says it might not change much, but I have to try.

It’s been really hard watching summer fly by from the sidelines, & accepting the possibility this could be my life now feels unbearable lately. I can’t imagine not enjoying where I live or going on adventures with my family…hiking, skiing, skating, snow shoeing or ice fishing. All of it stopped because of one silly little freak accident with no good story behind it. One of the hardest parts is not being able to return to my most favourite place, & not knowing if I’ll ever be able to physically make it there again. My son & I first found it on a Sunday mother/son adventure. The last time we were there, I spread some of my dad’s ashes from a ledge where a waterfall pours out from the mountain side on Heiko’s Trail. A place where a part of my soul will always live🫶🏻🏔️It breaks my heart to picture it & know it’s not within reach.

So I am doing what I always somehow do, & giving these heavy feelings space instead of pushing them down. Writing makes them feel less like a wall, & more like something I can journey alongside. I don’t know yet if I will make it back, but I can be honest about what this moment is while I hold onto hope for more. Here’s a little video of my favourite place & what it means to me. It’s my way of giving the hardest parts of this story somewhere to land, & there’s no place more beautiful than right here❤️‍🔥

Rare Ember Sound Baths are guided by the “crazy singing bowl lady” herself, Kristin Agema. She’s self-taught in sound healing, with (almost) a decade of post-secondary education in neuroscience & neuropsychology.

Sound is the language of the nervous system. It works with the brain & body to ease stress, quiet mental noise, & help bring your nervous system out of survival mode. All you have to do is lie down, get cozy, & be a human ‘being’ instead of a human ‘doing’ for a while. When it’s over, you’ll be ready to melt into your bed like butter on a pancake.🥞

For anyone who feels like their nervous system needs a snack, a nap, & a hug in that order, the bowls are waiting. 🫶🏻

Well…Sound bath Sunday went a little “backwards”, if you will😅🦴🏨 to sum it up, i slipped on the hardwood, rolled my ankle…my foot didn’t rotate with my body as I fell in the opposite direction of my ankle…I heard a loud *snap* and saw that my foot was pointed backwards instead of forwards in my peripherals (I absolutely could not look directly at it or I would have been panicking big time lol)…An absolute freak accident, to say the least. No shortage of dull moments in my world🫠

I want to thank everyone in the studio who called 911 and stayed by my side while the ambulance arrived, I don’t remember much else after that, thankfully!

I figured I’d do a collective update, as I haven’t been able to respond to everyone’s messages yet…I just got home from surgery in Lethbridge last night…but I see you, and I’m deeply grateful to know that so many people care about my wellbeing🫶🏻 thank you! You can bet your bottom dollar that I will figure out a way to do sound baths with a broken ankle soon✌🏼Also…I have the best husband ever🥰
