A New Day

What I see that has come forth in this last episode of shootings is that the white supremacist movement has put every race, religion and gender all in the same boat. We are all targets. We have the opportunity to bring all of us together as one people, to never be divided again. We are asked to couch up ALL of our hatred. Behind all hatred is the yearning for love and acceptance. This is the beginning of the peace and survival of our species and our planet if we chose to stand together in this light. I also find it interesting that the universe really has asked us to look again at how we see people. Do we have any bias ourselves, even if we think we don’t? If so, we need to change these thoughts once and for all. This needs to be examined down to our very core.  Let’s say we judge someone because they are fat.  We choose not to spend time with them because we say to ourselves this is not me. This person may be beautiful inside, they could even become our best friend but we don’t allow ourselves to go far enough to see. So we are called to drop these walls of judgments once and for all. We are asked to dig down to find our fundamental truths. What we want individually and collectively. We are responsible. Do we want to change our world to become inclusive and not exclusive any more? Do we choose to work together as one people? We have to make the right choices here. There is no room for error.  We are given the opportunity now by the universe to change our direction. It’s a warning we have to break down to come to! How far we fall is totally up to us. Our lives and our freedom depend on all of us to stand together. United as one people. For the people, by the people, of the people!A new day is waiting to become.Let’s do this! Holding Love and Light,XOXO "Judgment is a man-made thing designed by the ego to feel better about ourselves."

A prayer we can all say for those suffering from gun violence.Also a prayer for our world and all it's people in desperate need of healing.Blessings to all,Jodi Prayer of St. Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,Where there is hatred, let me sow love;Where there is injury, pardon;Where there is doubt, faith;Where there is despair, hope;Where there is darkness, light;Where there is sadness, joy;O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;To be understood as to understand;To be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive;It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

The Bases of Sound Healing

The Bases of Sound Healing

Each Celestial Body, in fact each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of it’s movement , it’s rhythm or it’s vibration. All of these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element, while having it’s own function and character, contributes to the whole.” Pythagoras 569-475 BC Premise of Sound Healing: We are all unique vibratory beings, which means what’s good for one being may be different for the other. We are all unique with our own vibration pattern made up of sound, light and color.  However all contributes to the whole. We call primordial sound the mysterious link that holds the universe together in a web that is the quantum field. This is the whole we are all a part of. “The very basis of sound healing is based on the concept that everything is in a state of vibration, including the body. Almost every modality of sound healing utilizes the approach of enhancing the correct resonant frequency of a part of the physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual body. Through rejuvenating and restoring the body’s own resonant frequencies, any imbalance ceases and healing occurs. Another important principle of vibration is entrainment.It is considered to be a subcategory of resonance.Entrainment is a phenomenon of sound in which the powerful vibrations of one object actually changes those of another, causing this second object to lock in step or synchronize with the first.Resonance and entrainment is the ability of one sound to shift the frequency of another. This is what happens when a part of the body begins to vibrate out of its normal, healthy resonance. We can use sound to change the vibrations of a part of our physical or ether body that may be weakened and out of tune and return it to a state of health.“ Jonathan Goldman Sound-travels 4 x’s faster in water than air. Since our bodies are made up of mostly water, it makes the human body a natural resonator. Our bodies can influence our minds and vise-versa. So our thoughts, beliefs, intention, feelings, consciousness can affect us physically. Remember: Frequency + Intent = Healing Sound + Belief = Outcome Vocalization + Visualization = Manifestation  Some Sound Healing Methods: Chimes Tuning forks Crystal Bowls Tibetan Bowls Bells Gongs Drumming Chanting
