A taste of “Yoga is Union” – move your body and listen to sounds for the soul

Listening to music and moving to it (or not, sometimes I simply meditate) have become and will remain a foundational aspect of becoming well for me. I listen to many different sounds, do yoga, I walk, I dance, and I mindfully am present with the movements of my body when I do just about everything. Even when I do the dishes or any other household chores. Becoming conscious of our incredibly lovely animal bodies can be a deep and profound joy. … [click on title for the rest of the post]

I can feel both dance and music changing and healing my brain’s neurons

I managed to get out and dance at a 5 Rhythms event. That's ecstatic dance inspired by Gabriel Roth. That perhaps has been my biggest victory. I danced for a full hour and stayed at the event for 2 hours. Another VICTORY. First time out in the evening. First time sustaining high intensity exercise for a whole hour too. We looked very much like the folks in the above video. Without the white clothes. … [click on title for the rest of the post]

Heart Meditation with Tibetan Bowls

One thing that sounds and music does for me is they allow me to access feelings in my psyche I might not otherwise access. Different music resonates to different parts of the psyche. Coming from the "You can't heal what you don't feel" philosophy, this has been very helpful for me.

It seems that many feelings throughout my life were compacted and repressed and therefore never felt, first in childhood in a family that didn't welcome certain kinds of emotional expression and then in adulthood when I was drugged into oblivion. I have literally decades of feelings to feel. Layers and layers of unprocessed, sometimes pretty difficult stuff that needs to be felt. I'm doing it and it's good. It's important to trust my own rhythm and flow as well as finding the music and sounds that I resonate with that will be most healing. Some music or sound can actually exacerbate or distress. Trust yourself if you pursue this path. … [click on title for the rest of the post]

Kundalini Dance – Tantric Shamanic Dance Journey

I watched these lovely women dance with joy as I recognized my own journey in their dance. Music/moving both are profoundly healing. … [click on title for the rest of the post]

More shamanic dancing and music (or if you want to be clinical, dance and sound therapy)

I have to say that dancing madly to whatever music calls me has been a far more effective trauma release practice than these more clinically oriented trauma release exercises. That said, we all respond to different methods of care. That is why I always talk about listening to our own internal guidance. We know. Our body knows. Better than anyone else. In the end the only compliance that matters is that which we give to our own deepest knowing. … [click on title for the rest of the post]
