Where Do You Find Your Inner Circle of Light Beings?
An Inner-World Exploration

The most powerful work we can do is on the inner plane. It’s in inner work that you’ll feel the connection with the energy of wholeness, the experience of oneness. It’s sacred space and available to everyone.  It’s where we connect with each other on the spiritual plane to expand our collective light.

Establish a practice of inner work

The more I journey inwardly, the more populated my inner world becomes.  The love, the support, the adventures, the wisdom, and the guidance are constant and powerful.  All because I have frequent inner interactions with the invisible world, the 95% of our world that is unseen.  

As I do this inner work daily,  expanding my own Inner Light, I’m aware of powerful and ever-increasing support emerging and increasing on the physical plane. It is a “Circle of Light Beings” and we’re covering the planet to raise the collective consciousness.

If you are reading this, you are an illumined explorer living a spirit-directed life. You are a member of the Circle of Light Beings.  And we are in all parts of our world.

Everyone is Light, even if they are not always aware of it.  Those in the Circle of Light Beings are aware that we are One Light, and the more we expand our Inner Light, the more clearly we can see others like us. 

You have a spiritual community within

As humans, we have an ingrained need not be alone.  Even as we walk our path with strength and persistence and distinct individuality, we yearn for the company of at least one or two people who are traveling in a similar direction.  We want that connection, that sense of intertwining, for support, encouragement, and love.  

And we can find that like-minded connection when we journey within. Your experiences in your inner world will help you recognize other aware light beings on the physical plane.

Your spiritual community may be experienced in layers

 Members of the Circle of Light Beings are all over the planet.  We know that and experience that energetically. But to find conscious, active light beings, we often use the internet.  We subscribe to e-newsletters, find Facebook pages that call to us, take courses, and then connect one-to-one on Skype or Zoom. 

I connect regularly with my two primary fellow travelers by Skype. Although we are not on the exact same path, we intertwine enough that our personal support is both welcome and effective.

The Shift Network is an example of an organization that offers summits with free interviews with 20-30 people in a particular field. You learn a lot and you find people from whom you may wish to learn more. You expand your Circle of Light Beings. 

Another layer of spiritual community I’ve found is in online courses I take, connecting with a broad range of people with shared interests who are on a similar path.  We have come together to learn how to travel forward in a particular manner.  We usually build community online and sometimes expand that to one-to-one contact.  We have similar interests that enable us to help each other in this particular part of our journey. 

Find people who inspire, motivate and expand your awareness and subscribe to their blogs or newsletters. Then let their presence and insights deepen your awareness of the power of our collective light. 

The third level of experiencing the Circle of Light beings is planet-wide. Through the internet, we can explore the ideas and innovations from all over the world and investigate the paths that call to us. We meet on summits that have a specific focus – World Peace Day, Earth Day, Full Moon Meditations. One focused purpose, worldwide participation, great collective power.

When we are aware of our Circle of Light Beings, we experience a sense of belonging

As the world dramatically rearranges itself, I felt quite helpless. What does an old woman in the mid-west do to save the world? I deepened my spiritual practice and found the Circle of Light Beings – in my inner shamanic journeying and in both energetic and active body suit actions all over the planet. I now feel connected and empowered.

As we participate with this chosen collection of spiritual communities, there’s a sense of intertwining.  Suddenly we know people in other parts of the world. We know that we come together with our collective hearts for a positive shift in our collective consciousness.  

We know that we are not alone. We feel our collective and increasing power. We know that we are part of a much larger heartbeat – the heartbeat a of spiritual community, the Circle of Light Beings. There’s a sense of intertwining of our souls and our soul’s purpose into a greater, focused, powerful group consciousness.

As members of the Circle of Light Beings, we experience the power of collective tending

There’s power in group energy. As the chaos of the world becomes more blatant, we come together in our planetary, energetic community with an awareness of the power and effectiveness of our collective tending – the power of our focused unconditional love.  Our focus may range from the environment to the people, nature and peaceful co-existence; but the work of collective tending is the same. There are many of us all over the planet, working to heal and whole and offer unconditional love. It’s empowering. It’s comforting.  It makes our focused energy work extremely powerful. 

As members of the Circle of Light Beings, we experience a new level of personal awakening

As we interact on both the physical and energetic planes with other souls who are also focusing on the well-being of our world, we experience a sense of personal awakening, of personal empowerment.  We grow stronger and clearer and more effective.  We expand our reach. We brighten our light.  We have more impact.  The world immediately around us feels the shift and our expanding wave of light ripples across the world. 

Our Circle of Spiritual Beings is a refuge

Interacting as a circle of focused spiritual beings on the physical plane, we begin to establish our own sanctuary, a place of refuge.  We create a way to be with an energetic spiritual community that is directing its attention to world service, the lifting of hearts, and the spreading of unconditional love.  

We do that by deepening our personal spiritual practice.  Whatever form your spiritual practice takes, deepen and broaden it.  Through visualization, journeying or whatever calls to you, begin to actively work on the inner planes with the Circle of Light Beings to cover the planet with Light and the awareness of our Oneness.

In my inner work I’m sometimes a recipient in the center of the Circle of Light Beings; at other times I’m a member of those gathered to focus light on a particular need in our world. 

In my shamanic practice, I begin each journey in my Sacred Garden.  Each element of the garden is a metaphor for some element in my life. It’s there that I first discovered the Circle of Light Beings and a safe haven from which I begin and end my explorations of the inner realms.

In your spiritual practice, include an energetic place of refuge for yourself so you can personally experience the support of the ever-expanding Circle of Spiritual Beings. Place yourself in the middle of the circle and soak up the light!

Feel the increasing power of your focused light

Working as a member of the Circle of Light Beings, your power is greatly expanded.  As situations seem more challenging to you, the power of your personal participation is hugely increased when you mentally and energetically join your positive thoughts with those of others in the Circle of Light Beings.  

Simply sit in a chair and radiate your light.  Picture other lights coming from all over the world. See our collective light as a layer of sunlit haze covering the planet and growing ever thicker. Feel your collective unconditional love enfolding the earth.

Experience the intertwining of our light energies to weave a pattern of combined awareness 

Not everyone is aware of their own light, let alone the power of our combined light. They do not yet understand or see the power that their light – and our collective light – has for their own lives and the lives of those around them.  

As members of the Circle of Light Beings, our job is to shine our light so brightly and so frequently that people all over the world recognize that same light in themselves and begin to nurture it and grow it – until they, too, understand that they are members of the Circle of Light Beings. The presence of your light helps others see their own inner light.  

Expand your place of service as an integral member of a Circle of Light Beings

Our collective energy has great power. As more and more of us see the light, we individually and collectively project and expand our own light, and others are drawn to join us in focusing wholing energy on our planet.

Use your inner spiritual work to connect with this intangible but very present Circle of Light Beings.  Allow yourself to be drawn into inner journeys and conversations that offer you support and insight and inspiration.  Focus your collective energy toward the healing and wholing of our planet.

You are not alone.  There are many of us around you.  Open your heart and listen. Then add your powerful inner light to the Circle of Light Beings so we heal our world.

Abide at the Center of Your Being

“There is no need to run outside
For better seeing.
Nor to peer from a window.
Rather abide
At the center of your being;
For the more you leave it, the less you learn.”
 –Tao Te Ching, Lao-Tzu

There’s a stillness inside that knows all.  Yet too often we persist in looking to the opinions of others for guidance or try to unobtrusively fit into the world around us.

When you sit in silence and observe, the guidance is given, the answers appear.  There’s nothing that exists except you.  Look within for your answers. 

Live at the center of your being.

Step Out of the Way 

“The Master allows things to happen.
She shapes events as they come.
She steps out of the way and
Lets the Tao speak for itself.”
– Tao Te Ching, trans. Stephen Mitchell 

Allow things to happen!  No organizing.  No pushing and pulling. Just watching. Be aware of what shows up and how things are unfolding. Let life unfold.

How do you shape events as they come?  Whatever shows up comes from your thoughts, your beliefs, and your actions.  If you want something to be different, the change begins with you, within you.  You shape things as they come by making changes within yourself to accept, accommodate, release, repurpose, redirect.  A nudge here, a tweak there, a pause or two along the way. That’s how you shape what shows up.

Trust is a key part of your ability to allow things to happen.  Trust the harmonious and natural balance of the Tao. Trust you will only be given what you can handle. Trust that there’s a gift in everything that occurs.  

It is a huge relief to stop pushing and pulling and planning.  And simply be. Be present.  Be aware.  Be mindful. 

Let the Tao speak for itself.

The Power of Being Different  

By

The Power of Being Different  

When you’re different, you have no one to follow.  When you’re different, you may have no one to lead.  But when you’re different, you’re free to go on the grandest, most glorious, most rewarding experience you desire.  

Being different means great freedom

I am different. I’ve led a marching-to-the beat-of-my-own-drummer sort of life.  For me, this has meant that I have no “lifelong” friends but have walked with great joy alongside others who are also walking a similar path, and we have been supportive of each other during that common part of our journey.  

I have no desire to do anything like anyone else. No envy, no desire to emulate.  Just the unfettered joy of exploration and discovery. It’s rather glorious, this walking my own path.

You may be alone

You’ll undoubtedly be alone.  The more individualized the path you follow, the fewer people you’ll find going in a similar direction.  Perhaps you’ll find someone exploring one facet to the same degree you are, but the truer you are to your own unique combination of gifts, the more alone you’ll be on your path.

Walking your own path means not only the freedom to live as you choose but the responsibility to care for yourself. All by yourself. We are each responsible for the look and feel of our lives. You control the direction and quality of your life by what you think and feel.  

You may sometimes feel alone on the physical plane, but there’s a whole chorus of helping spirits available in the invisible world to guide and cheer you on. You’re not alone on the inner plane even if you feel alone on the outer one. 

Helping spirits populate your world

Some 95% of our world is invisible.  I love the freedom I feel when I go exploring in the inner realms.  First of all, there’s unconditional love. It’s there for me always.  And my job is to learn to accept it – then turn and give that unconditional love to others. 

Every one of us has helping spirits, we just may not realize it.  When I discovered the vast array of helping spirits available to me through shamanic meditative journeying, I began to journey every day.  Sometimes I journey with questions, sometimes with a request for help with self-healing.  And one day I showed up at my inner Sacred Garden and my helping spirits were cheering me for my latest accomplishment!! 

Your helping spirits will guide you to the recognition of your higher purpose, the overview of your illumined service, the expansion and application of your particular gifts.  You’re not on this path of uniqueness alone, you have a team of helping spirits guiding and guarding you. 

All you do is journey and listen. Oh yes, and ask the right questions.

Honor your uniqueness

There are several obvious signs that you are actively exploring and expanding your unique gifts.  If you feel you’re “different”, that’s because you’re actively cultivating your own uniqueness. You know your gifts, you know your calling, you know how an idea fits into your life. You act upon the insights and inspiration that are constantly and actively being offered to you. 

When a new idea appears, you explore it, you take what resonates and make it your own.  You question everything.  If you’re drawn to something, you look closely to see why it calls to you and figure out unique ways to apply parts of it to your life. You seldom if ever take something in its entirety. There are always some questions, some adaptations, some exclusions. Being different means you shape things to fit your personal forward motion. 

When you’re different, you open new doors

Because you see things differently, you find new ways to do things, see things, say things.  Because you’re different, you walk a path that very few walk. Your unique journey inspires others to explore the facets you share that call to them.  Because you’re different, you’re open to unusual opportunities, you explore more broadly, more deeply. You try things out.  You try things on.  You pick and choose and tweak and adjust.  Until it fits your unique vision. 

We’re all different and unique. We’re each uniquely wonderful.  Some simply live more deeply in their uniqueness than others.  Some of us walk along the edges of the common path. Some of us wander off…  

Learn from those who are different

When you’re following your unique path, you develop different ways to cope, to live, to express yourself.  When you experience someone who’s different, look to understand what lessons in adaptation they offer. Notice what they’re not settling for.  Notice what they have and what they have not chosen to have, to utilize, to express. There are lessons in the looking.

Be the rock you are

Years ago, a friend told me I was a rock just as she was.  People depended on us.  I asked, “Who do rocks turn to for help?” Her reply: “Other rocks.”

When you’re different, you’re a stand-alone person and that means you need to be strong and self-sufficient. But you wouldn’t be called to express your uniqueness if you couldn’t do that.  Trust.  Trust yourself to make aligned choices.  Trust yourself to see the wisest path.  Trust yourself to – well – trust yourself! 

Listen for your different-ness

Many years ago, I made a choice that was so unusual for my time that no one understood it.  Nor did I.  I just knew the call was so strong it would not be denied.  I never questioned the calling.  I just took the step and it opened up my life in ways I’d never have imagined.  

Be brave, follow your inner wisdom

It takes courage to step off the beaten path. It takes stamina to keep going when you’re walking alone. It takes persistence to keep going when the trail gets narrow. 

But when the calling is deep, you simply follow.  You have no choice.  

Follow your own beat.  Follow your own heart.  Rejoice in being different!!!

How to Use Sound for Self-Healing

By

How to Use Sound for Self-Healing

There are many ways we use sound – to heal, to communicate, to locate. Sound is a powerful tool for healing and wholing. 

Our innate inner vibration is one of wholeness.  Sound reminds us and connects us with that universal vibration.

Bringing rhythm or sound into a meditation, shamanic journey or ceremony moves us from our mental chatter into our serene inner vibration.  It opens the doors to our innermost realms and invites us to come exploring.  

Find your inner vibration of wholeness

Our minds fill our life with chatter – beliefs that may need to be changed, fears we may need to overcome, reactions and responses that jar our lives. Our body suit’s thoughts, beliefs and word choices come from the limitations of our human mind.  

When we seek to heal and balance, we’re actually tuning in to our innate vibration of wholeness. A powerful way to connect with our inner wholeness is through sound. Sound speaks of harmony and connection and oneness. It opens the doors to the inner realm and invites us to come exploring. You do that simply by listening to sound. 

The purpose of any healing/balancing session is to remember 

When we seek to heal and balance, we are providing the opportunity to remember and re-identify with our inner light, our inner being. 

Remember that you, we, are, all simply One Energy, One Light Energy, One Radiant Energy. When you set out to rebalance yourself or others, you’re putting light into the places that need healing. You’re using sound vibration to focus the energy of wholeness.

Begin with the wholing vibration of the breath

The fastest, easiest way to direct healing vibration is through your breath.  Take a deep breath.  Then let it go in a very slow, measured manner.  That simple step immediately relaxes and centers you.  Take another breath and create a vowel sound with the exhale.  See how that feels to you. 

Balancing breath work can be done anytime, anywhere.  When you’re rushing between tasks, take a moment to add some deep, slow, conscious breaths in order to change your inner rhythm. To calm down even further, hold the inhaled breath for a count of seven or so.  Then  s l o w l y  exhale. 

A simple breath can immediately relax and center you.

Expand the vibration of your voice

When you add your voice to your exhaled breath, use some syllable like “aum” (“ohm”). Experiment with tones, the vowel sounds of a,e,i,o,u…  Notice where they resonate in your body.  Use those sounds to direct the energy of your wholing breath.  

I have evolved my own power song that consists of only three tones with three different syllables. I sing it every day. Let your personal power song evolve and sing it to center and prepare yourself for meditation.

Use your breath to intone ohms to open and close your day.  Let that vibration move through your body and out into the invisible worlds, paving the way, open the doors, announcing your willingness to participate.  The sound you use is one of alignment.

Add a bit of rhythm

Rhythm adds a powerful dimension.  I took two bamboo pieces from a broken wind chime and I have a wonderful clacker sound that I use in my daily meditation work. You can make a rattle by putting popcorn in a spice jar or a paper cup. Look around you at what can create sound. Two spoons can create a rhythm, slapping your palms on a pillow or a table or your knee creates sound. Two acorns from your yard may make an intriguing sound. Explore your environment to discover what sounds already exist there and see what calls to you.   

Rhythm is like our heartbeat. Don’t structure it, let it emerge.  Your inner rhythm is waiting to share itself with you. 

I have discovered a pattern of six beats that send me immediately to my deepest self.  Six beats and I yawn and feel a deep connection to my inner world.  

As you begin to acquire sound instruments and bring them into your spiritual practice, take your time in getting to know them. Develop your own sound healing session. We are energy.  We are vibration. The sound that resonates, that calls to you, is the sound you should choose to use.  

Develop a melody  

You don’t have to be a singer to add a melody.  

In my daily ceremonial work, I drum and sing songs to the four directions.  I made up those songs over time. My words. My melody. I simply let them evolve.

I have a shamanic friend who whistles. Her power song is a whistled melody. 

Hum, sing, whistle, speak in rhythm. Make up your own songs as they call to you.

Allow your whole body to experience the sounds. Chant, sing, hum, dance, use rhythm and melody as catalysts for movement that stimulates your entire being. Move as slowly or as rapidly as the music invites you to do. 

Pick your sound-maker

Bring sound healing gently into your life.  I’m into sound healing and keep exploring new vibrations. I’ve discovered that I like the lasting resonance of chimes or bells and use a hand bell to begin my meditations. I drum every day. I have several rattles but use my Third Eye Rattle to bless the directions and move through my chakras each day.  I have added an ocarina to my healing sounds as I continue to explore the power of sound healing.

Here’s most of my sound collection.  See what calls to you.

The traditional way to begin a shamanic journey is with rhythm –  drumming and rattles.  It helps to move you into a state of receptivity.

RHYTHM

  • Djembe Drum Bongo Congo –  Wooden African Hand Drum – SIZE 16″ I use this small drum to drum down the sun each day.  It’s very portable. This video shows you how to play a much bigger djembe than the one I have.  See if drumming calls to you as a musical and/or ceremonial expression! 
  • Third Eye Rattle skin rattle filled with crystals. It is made by a shaman trained in rattle making who blessed it with ceremony while making it. I use this to bless my day, heal my chakras and in any ceremony I perform.
  • Conch shell rattle I’ve had for years.   Rattles are made from shells, goods, skin, ceramic. Find a sound that calls to you.
  • Original clay palm size rattle made for me by my shamanic practice partner. Sorry, she’s not in business yet. 
  • Rainstick  The sound of rain coming down. Powerful and soothing. I also have a long three-foot rain stick I got years ago.  It has an awesome sound. I use this as I would water in healing, to clear out and release and heal.

BELLS

  • Tibetan Hand Bell  Meditation & Prayer Bells / Dorje / Vajra – Medium I use this to begin each journey and to bless my day and even my computer so that it sends out good energy.
  • Cymbal  These make a long resonating tone.  I use them to bless my home and the surrounding area. 
  • Tibetan Singing Bowl – comes in many sizes. This is palm-sized.   A love its resonance that goes on and on.  Great to begin a meditation or to bring the day to a healing close.
  • Energy chime I’ve had a single energy chime for years but they also come in groups. Woodstock is the best chime maker. I strike it to announce to the unseen world that I am now in service for the day. 
  • Fairy Bells refers to small hanging bells. Mine are very old. They are part of my blessing for the world each day.
  • Woodstock xylophone. I’ve had one for years and there is a new version of it. Woodstock also has great wind chimes
  • Tuning Fork 432 mg.   I use my mallet from my energy gong on this and focus it on my chakras.
  • Wind Chimes. These come in many materials. and are a lovely connection to the flow of nature.

MELODY

  • Ocarina  I’ve had pendant ocarina on a necklace for years. I just got this:”Fores I’ve had pendant ocarina on a necklace for years. I just got this:”Forest Whisper” 12 Hole Ocarina Classic Straw-fire Masterpiece Collectible,alto C
  • Shulong Drum  rrecently ordered.  It has the sound of Tibetan Bowls and plays melodies. I don’t have this yet but I have heard one and am intrigued.
  • Your Voice.  Whether you hum, chant, sing, whistle, use your body to create healing sound.  Just listen and let it guide you.

If you’re starting with nothing, find something to rattle, something to drum and a bell/chime of some sort.  Explore the sounds they offer and find the type of sound-maker that calls to you. And don’t forget your voice as a powerful sound instrument.  Bring sound into your daily practice in some form

If you’re starting with nothing, find something to rattle, something to drum and a bell/chime of some sort.  Explore the sounds they offer and find the type of sound-maker that calls to you. And don’t forget your voice as a powerful sound instrument.  Bring sound into your daily practice in some form.

Talk to your sound healing helper

You can begin your sound healing practice with anything that makes a sound. Choose what calls to you.  Add them one at a time and experiment to see how they feel and where they resonate in your body.

When you find a sound that calls to you, meditate with the sound-maker you have and ask how it would like to serve at this particular time in your life/practice.  In what way is it to be used?  To what purpose?  Talk to your chosen sound object.  It’ll talk back to you.

Put sound healing to work

In your sound healing you’re focusing the sound of wholeness, of oneness, and whatever is around it will come into gradual alignment with that vibration. 

Notice, too, where the vibration resonates in your own body. Make a sound with one of your sound healing choices and feel what part of your body responds. Notice how your chakra system responses to each sound. Sounds talk to you when you listen.

Use sound to honor the elements

Use sound to create a blessing. The songs I sing to the directions are about the qualities I see in those elements.  For me Fire (East) is about passion and creativity, Earth (South) unfolding and coming with nature, Water (West) deep listening and Air (North) is about spirituality, and, for me, creativity.  Explore the elements and define their meanings for yourself. 

Use sound to bless the world

I stroke my fairy bells and shake my conch shell rattle and ask the tree messenger outside my window to send my blessings to the earth from tree to tree throughout the world. 

Use sound to begin meditation or a shamanic journey

The traditional way to begin a journey is through drumming or rattling.  The sound changes your brain waves into a more receptive state. I happen to channel my journeys right into my computer (I just tune in and type) and I use my Tibetan Handbell to center and focus myself, allowing the vibration to resonate all through me. 

Use sound to bless the past, present and future

Because my Tibetan Bowl is small, I make a fist and set the bowl on the circle made by my thumb and first finger.  Then I take the wooden ringer and gently place it against the side and begin to circle the rim. The sound builds and when I stop stroking it, the lovely vibration continues. I do this three times with the intention of healing the past, the present and the future.  Create whatever message calls to you. 

Use sound to release

I have a three-foot long rainstick I got years ago. And probably because it has the sound of water, I use that sound to rinse out and release whatever I no longer need.  Again, I seem to do it three times, release, restore, revive. It’s your ceremony, follow your intuition. 

Use sound to balance your body

The 432 mg tuning fork is said to be the frequency of the universe. I only have one tuning fork, and I use the wooden mallet from my energy gong to strike it although the instructions are to tap it with the base of the hand.  It has a lasting resonance and I stroke the energy field of my body with it. 

Use sound to balance your chakras

I use my third eye rattle to rattle a sound pattern to each of my chakras.  I happen to use the same rhythm for each but I’m certain if I explore, each chakra will ask for a different rhythm.  Talk to your sound instrument of choice and let it guide you. 

Follow your intuition

As you organically heal and balance you’ll be drawn to different vibrations.  Notice and honor those times you are to change the form of your sound healing/wholing.  Let your intuition guide you to the next sound instrument you are to use or the change in rhythm you are to explore next. 

Use sound throughout your day

One of the most powerful gifts of sound is the invitation to simply listen.  Stop right now and listen.  Listen to the silence.  Listen to nature. 

Use your sound healing instruments as they call to you.  I use most of mine to begin my day.  I use some to end the day.  Sound is a powerful balancer and healer and would be a powerful addition to your life. 

Use sound to deepen your mindfulness. When you sit in silence, for meditation or mindfulness, use your breath to chant ohms.  Let that vibration move through all of you and out into the invisible world, paving the way, open the doors, announcing your willingness to participate.

Use sound to release. As you listen to a sound fade away, let go of limiting beliefs, old habits and old patterns that no longer serve.  Feel them disappear as the sound fades.

Use sound as closure. Drum down the setting sun to close the day.  Pick a sound to celebrate the moon.  Or the sun.  Or life.  Use sound to deepen your own vibration. 

Make this evening ceremony one of releasing – of releasing limiting beliefs, old habits that no longer serve, old patterns.

For ending my day I like to see my personal ceremony as three parts: 1) Release, as in let go and clear out all that no longer serves you. 2) Repair or restore what needs fixing and 3) Replenish, accept the flow of wholing light energy to fill you and bring you into balance.

This can be as simple as three focusing breaths, it can be a song of intention you sing, it can be done with the sound instrument of your choice.  The intention is simply to release, repair and replenish.

Listen to nature. The vibrations of nature speak of harmony and connection and oneness. Sit in nature and listen to the richness and variety of the sound of our wonderful earth home. Let those sounds heal and balance you. 

Become aware of sound throughout your day.

Your need for certain tones will change

As balance occurs, you may be drawn to different forms of sound healing. Your skill at one instrument or another may be a factor. Rhythm instruments resonate with me.  I’m not as skilled on wind instruments, but I think they’re lovely. And the ongoing vibration of chimes is very balancing. As you experiment with sound, notice which form touches your soul and work more with that. Keep experimenting with what you use and how you use it.

Absorb the resonating healing power of sound

Sound sends a message to your body suit – get in harmony, you guys! Blend your voices, make this composition richer and deeper and let its vibration touch more hearts.  

Remember you, it, we, are all simply one energy, light energy, radiant energy.  So in that respect, you are putting light into a person’s body, a balance of light that’s created by vibration. When our cells, our bodies, beings are aligned with Source, we experience our wholeness, our oneness, our nothingness

Allow the power of sound to resonate with your spiritual heart and feel the blessing from the All That Is. Feel loved.  Feel appreciated. Let it stroke you and cover you like a warm protective cloak. Sound is the vibration of Source.
