The Gift of Sound!

Sound has long been known to change our spirit! Put on the radio, pop in a cd and shift your mood dramatically. We can pass from a sad song that opens our heart, to a rowdy song that gets our energy and power flowing, to a inspiration song that makes us sing our hearts out. Sound is also investigated in current healing, helping patients balance, providing a harmonizing tones that helps the body vibrate. We all use sound so many ways, to yell at someone, to give them a sweet hello, to offer a caring compasionate tone in time of strife. It is vibration, it is rhythm, it is harmony.

We connect with people through sound which is more basic than words. Melodic voices are so pleasant, stearn voices more directive. We are instruments of sound. Over the holiday, I recieved a fabulous book on sound and woman, historical account of our sound journey really. Woman brought the drums, the bells, their voices, their moving bodies to the great celebrations in healing and joy.  It reminded me that sound, dance, singing and nourishment was always the womans work. Tied so intricately to the rhythms of nature, the heartbeat, the sways of carrying babes, the 28 day moon cycle like our own. Seasons and cycles, a melody of connection, a dance of the day. We were the keepers of these things. We are the swaying part of humanity that needs to break out into song and dance. Whether in joy, in sadness, in celebration, we have always been the smoothers of these things with sound and rhythm, the softer side.

May you make the most of your music. It is indeed a tranformational tool! This is why we have monthly drum circles! Investigating and enjoying raising our vibe!
