Spiritual Reconciliation
The term sound healing I believe is misleading, and partially dangerous. As many people equate healing with curing. Most people who find the practice are often in need of some sort of relief. It may be in an effort to relieve that said pain. Physical pain is what draws one into the practice, but soon…...
Resilience in the Presence of Forced Change
I know I am never alone. I also know many people reading this had a week full of challenges. I often feel that Mercury retrograde not only makes communication difficult but dams the actions of the time. Once it passes, it feels as if the dam breaks wreaking perceptible havoc on your daily life…....
Sound Healing: Chasing Seagulls
For what it’s worth, I can’t just sit down and write something. I wait for lessons to arrive. It always hits me at odd times. Yesterday, I was with my wife and daughter at Lake Dunmore in Vermont. It is a beautiful space just twenty-five minutes from our home. We go every chance we have. …...
Sound Healing: A Blessing and a Curse
I try to explain to people what sound is to me, and I do not have the words. It is something I have dedicated my entire life to. I have offered sound baths, trainings, writings (I have a book titled The Architecture of Sound and the Alchemy of Transcendence), and for the bulk of…...
You Are a Flower
My father once told me that flowers are the way God smiles on earth. This has stuck with me over the years as many things people have told me. Typically, these sayings are simply in passing whereby the person who is speaking is just having a conversation. They are not “teaching” or trying to…...
In Memoriam
The following topic is not something we seek of very much but is a very important part of the sound community which many have not actually come in contact with or have had the experience of. The topic being the difference between healing and curing. As practitioners and facilitators, many will show a clip they…...
The Elegance of Decay
Before I begin this writing, I would like to preface that the dense topic is not meant to be morbid or dark, but rather offer a new perspective on our movement through space and time. There is a saying that many people refer to that never sat well with me in its message. The saying…...
Within the Company of Storms
If you have been reading these posts over the course of the last year or so, you may have come to notice that as much about sound this is, it’s less about the therapeutic benefits but more about how we establish ourselves in the world and sound as a conduit for expanding one’s consciousness. Nada…...
The Nomenclature of Belief: Part 1
Many years ago I wrote three books that I never published. Not because they weren’t valuable, but they were a practice for finding my voice in writing. I would see too much of my influences coming through, as an emulation of those I found great comfort in. They slowly morphed into my first book, The Architecture…...
The Eternal Contrast: Seasons in the Length of Days
I find it fitting to acknowledge the Winter Solstice. At my home, this is the true spirit of Christmas as the sun begins its return to earth. The sun sets around 3:30 over the mountain to the west and in general, the sun stays hidden throughout the day. At my time of writing, the next…...
