"You need million things, and million things will reach you. If you are stable, established, firm, patient. Remember all of creation watches over you and is waiting to serve you. So be you." - Yogi Bajan

“The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments… We must not forget that it is not a thing that lends significance to a moment; it is the moment that lends significance to things.” – Abraham Joshua Heschel

Here is a very well-articulated write-up on the magic and science of sound as a healing modality. I hope you'll take a second to read for yourself!

An excerpt: Unfortunately, the modern world messes with microseconds: screens and lights flicker at rates that drive the unconscious crazy, digital phones scramble subtle vocal nuance, loudspeakers make unphysical sound patterns, earphones create competing soundscapes, wireless interruptions make unpredictable shocks. Our delicate vibration-managing nervous systems become de-calibrated not just by the sounds we call “noise pollution,” but also by the artificial sounds we call “entertainment” and “connection.”

The solution to mental misery created by a de-calibrating sonic environment is to return to a calibrating one, such as a sound bath. The most natural sonic environment is obviously nature itself and, in fact, the practice of loitering quietly among trees, called “forest bathing,” provides well-documented benefits.

Want to try out this experience? Come join me at my Sacred Sound Guided Meditation in the Salt Caves this Saturday (2/8) @ 5:30PM!

Coherent sonic environments such as “sound baths” recalibrate moods and nervous systems.

"Goldsby's 2016 study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, found that people attending singing-bowl meditations or sound baths reported a reduction in pain symptoms as well as less anxiety, tension, anger and feelings of sadness."

Studies show sound baths can improve not only mood but also physical symptoms such as chronic pain

"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both." - Yvon Chouinard

Sound is the sacred element that binds all of existence. I am so grateful to be able to share its magic for people near and far, friends and strangers.
✨
As vibratory beings, we may allow sound to carry our heartfelt intentions into the depths of our subconscious, and amplify our prayers out into the cosmos.
🌞
As we all settle into our unique sound, as we expand and fully embrace our song, we begin to harmonize with others doing exactly the same. We build a sound tribe.
🗝
May we all find balance within and support one another in finding the truth of our being. May we all harmonize with others who are dedicated in helping us realize the beauty that resides within. May we sing together and amplify love.

Up to 60% of the human body is water, with the brain and heart composed of 73% water, and the lungs 83%. As sound moves through us it excites, organizes, reshapes and energizes us at a cellular level.

Check out this video of how sound affects a levitated drop of water in an acoustic field. I hope you'll join me next time for your sonic massage!

The practical uses for sound in the medical field are expanding in truly remarkable ways. Doctors at St. Francis Hospital are using select frequencies to break up calcified arteries!

The clinical trial, being done at St. Francis Hospital in Flower Hill, involves technology known as intravascular lithotripsy, a version of the same principle involved in breaking up kidney stones.

I found this to be a very thoughtful and entertaining. The sacred sound of the gong is a language that permeates all cultures, religions, and modalities.

Sound baths are the way to meditate if you don't like the mainstream stuff

Oh the beauty and wonder of sound!

Linden Gledhill, a pharmaceutical biochemist, builds custom gear that can record the beautiful, weird, and sometimes bizarre intersection of science, art, and nature. His latest photographs of cymatics, or standing waves in water, are breathtaking.

Well said, David Kennet!

"Everything is vibration, frequency. Thoughts, sounds, words, tones....these are the bricks and mortar of our reality. Listen and sensitize fully to the sounds that are embedded within each thought and word.

Have you ever tried FEELING a word? Within the word is a sound and that sound is a frequency and that frequency literally changes the molecules of your structure.....LISTEN. At the core of each sound is MEANING. This is the basis of communication, the basis of information, the basis of CREATION. You know this...yes you do! Become as a child and remember.

Breathe... slow down...be still....pay attention. The ANSWERS are coming! They come quickly and they are precise. Pay attention and listen as you have never listened before..."

One of the many physical benefits of meditating with gongs is improvement to blood flow. The increased activity helps reduce inflammation, break up scar tissue, and speed up the repair of damaged tissues.

It is great to be able to see the drastic improvements in a visual fashion. Check out this video of red blood cell activity before and after a 20-minute sound bath.

I pray that you find your truth and that you discover how to live your life with full expression. It is a journey for myself that I welcome you on. As we join hands, connect with the Divine, and seek to heal with our Sangha community, we accelerate the awakening process and rejoice in freedom of being.
