Sound and First Graders!

Sound and First Graders!

This morning I had the opportunity to share with 4 first grade classes about sound and vibration!

They experienced bringing awareness to the difference of where they felt high versus low frequencies in the body and how lower frequencies are often felt lower and the higher frequencies are often felt higher.

We also breathed together so that they could learn how to be present to what they are feeling. I am blown away by their attention and curiosity. Such great questions! Their eyes literally LIT UP when they connected the dots!

The topper for the whole experience was when a teacher asked me if deaf people are affected and what would their experience be like. I shared with her that from my experience, the person was able to hear sound and feel the vibration as color. Next thing I knew she brought in 2 of her deaf students to experience the instruments! The two girls faces lit up with excitement! They both shared that they could hear and feel the sound. Their shock lingered in their faces until they left and I could see that this brought them so much joy!

This is why I do what I do. Beside the therapeutic benefits, this work brings out curiosity, and awareness so that one can empower themself!

I hope to see you at a sound bath soon! I have one tonight in Buckhead and next week in Virginia Highlands! And remember to sign up for the EPIC SOUND BATH happening in December at the Planetarium!

Social Media Has Created a Whole New Industry

Social media has created a whole new industry where there are now therapist specializing in social media addiction and the depression, anxiety, and attempted suicides that come with it. And I’m NOT just talking about adults... I work with one of those amazing therapy centers. I am so thankful for the work that Paradigm San Francisco does to help our youth, and the value they see from having sound healing as part of their program once a week. This is real. For something that is suppose to bring us together, and be a source of information, how can we empower our youth when they are inundated by highlight reels? I’m not saying take away screen time... this is still a powerful tool! But how do we empower our youth on social media? I don’t know what it’s like to be a parent. But I can tell you that our kids need us. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be hired by these therapy centers to work with them...

What dialog are you having with your children around social media? Have you experienced a dialog around comparison, depression, anxiety, or sexuality from what they are seeing on these channels? Comment below.

(Thank you ahead time for anyone commenting on this sensitive topic.)
