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…...
The Sound of Snow and a Canvas of Silence
At my home in Vermont, the snow has already begun to fall. We have about a three to four-inch base already, it may thaw…but we are in the midst of the season of snow in the mountains where the dead thickets of brush and fallen trees feel at home within themselves. They are returning to…...
Who Do You Hear: Part 5

When Do You Hear: Part 4
This article is the fourth part of a series. The series, in general, has been to introduce sound healing not only as a modality of greater well-being but, as it has been for me, a path of enlightenment and spirituality that walks with you every day like the sun upon your back. In essence, how…...

Power
The approach to sound healing is as diverse as the many people who facilitate the experiences. Each person has a unique background and style which lends itself to a certain experience. The folly is the setting of false expectations for the said experiences. One can make any myriad of claims for what the practice does…...
Sound Healing is a Way of Living: Trimming the Fat
Over the years, working with sound has brought me great insights into myself. That insight was then transmitted through every other facet of my life. It is all reflections of myself. Which is seen more and more over time. Not only is it seen more, but it is recognized as such. There is no more…...
The Art of Plausible Deniability and Self-Sabotage: Self-Doubt and Distractions
*I want to preface, this is my opinion, I respect everyone’s decision in life to do as they wish and engage with the world as they wish. This is my version of reality. Many years ago, my wife and I attended the Tom Brown tracker school in the pine barrens of New Jersey. It…...
