From Survival to Stillness: A Sound-Centered Path to Peace

A cup that overflows has enough to offer others.

Okay, so life is unfolding at blazing speed. There’s anxiety, unrest, even violence to worry about. It’s becoming harder and harder to know what normal even is. You might be wondering, “How do I hold my center? How do navigate these times? How can I keep my calm?”

Perhaps you’ve been watching the 2300 mile, 120-day Peace Walk of the Buddhist Monks from Texas to Washington DC. I have. And I’ve been surprised at the power and simplicity of their message. Thousands of people are being introduced to mindfulness practices for the first time. Thousands are beginning to see a way forward, a way out of hatred and vitriol. And their minds, hearts, and bodies are benefiting. So what is the secret to navigating these undeniably transformative times?

Go inward. Find your own inner stillness. And, with devotion to your practice, that stillness will become peace to radiate to others. If you need help learning how to do that, you are not alone. There’s an app for that!

And there is Celestial Sound!

These days I’m incredibly grateful for my own mindfulness practices – including the gongs! With a consistent drip of calming, centering, and uplifting, I’m holding my own. My heart is full of gratitude and love. And even in the midst of instability, I can now return to center in short order.

A cup that overflows has enough to offer others. And a heart overflowing desires to be of service. That’s my sincere intention each morning – to be of service.

I’m finding purpose in providing a place of refuge and reset to my clients through offering group gong sound baths, private individual sessions, and weekly Self-care Tips on YouTube. I also have written books with this same intent – to aid others on their life’s journey. It’s my offering of peace to the community and the world.

I’m excited to share once again that beginning in January, I’m offering several new and affordable sound bath options from $0 – $15 per session. Each new offering is uniquely focused.

If you or someone you know needs support through their cancer journey, don’t miss Sound Embrace: Free Monthly Sound Healing for Those Affected by Cancer. This is inspired by my gong teacher who has supported cancer survivors for years. Cancer has made a huge imprint on my family. My father, mother, and sister are all cancer survivors. My brother-in-law and mother-in-law died from cancer. I’d love to support you and those you love on this challenging path.

Additionally, if you or someone you know is a stressed teacher, come together to destress and rejuvenate with Gong Relaxation for Stressed Teachers.

If you want to learn more about how to navigate these times and how ascending in frequency and tone can make life magical, try Ascension Symptoms Support with Gongs.

Or take advantage of the power of the moon with Lunar Resonance Renewal.

Or choose this very affordable option: Half-price Gong Meditation.

Meditative Creativity. . . for You

I’ve become rather obsessed lately with creating visual art. I’ve always engaged with the arts in one way or another. And depending on the year, my age, and what’s coming through I’ve had seasons as a poet, a blogger, a pianist, an actress, a singer, a photographer and a gong player. But I’ve not engaged with my visual artist self much since I was a teenager! So, I’m quite surprised at what is coming through me. To me, this is a positive ascension symptom! (Learn more about ascension symptoms in the Jan. issue.) These days, my evenings often includes scraps of paper, a whole lot of pens, and creative inspiration. Once that is set, my lap is occupied with art making. Sometimes my cat Chai climbs onto my lap too. It makes creating quite challenging! But I do find this relaxing and centering. Perhaps that’s why these pieces of art are inspired by zentangle. (ZENtangle, get it?)

I’d love to share my work with YOU in a way that enriches your life. I’ve not quite figured out that part yet. . . maybe cards or stickers, coasters, bookmarks or wall art. You tell me. What should I do with this stuff?

Above: 4 coasters (presently for sale). Below: A piece someone requested, “Can you make me a honey bee?” I guess so!
