Don’t believe the hype!
Don’t believe the hype!
I know. You catch wind to sound and energy work and YOU WANT IN! You want it so badly you start looking into buying all the things and following all the people!
And then... you see that there are all these instruments. And all the people you’re following have all the instruments. You look at the price tag, then your wallet, and all you can say is “FU^K!”
For the new sound practitioners entering the scene, know that you DO NOT need a ton of bowls (or instruments for that matter) to begin supporting yourself and others.
One bowl. Or one drum. Maybe it’s one gong. One chime. Or maybe its simply your voice! Know that there is so much power in simplicity.
Here is something most people don’t understand about Sound Healing... the power of this work is determined by how much inner work you are willing to do. The inner work supports the direction of action. It’s also a mind, body, spirit collaboration between you, the facilitator, the instrument, and your client.
Remember, what you see on Social Media is curated for a “vibe”. Just like the picture I chose for this post.
When you look closely you will see many of the people holding space don’t even know how to hold a mallet correctly (among other things). The point is, as Jonathan Goldman has said, “More is not better, louder is not better, and longer is not better.”
What do you think this work is about?
What are some of your frustrations in getting started?
Start with 1.
Work with it for yourself.
And you’ll see/feel what I mean.

Whispers From the Fade
Whispers From the Fade
It’s 5:34am.
I am sitting on my bed, but not in my home. A full, hot cup of coffee awaits the first sip.
Sometimes the nomadic life sends you in interesting directions. Slight crack of the window of possibility and most of what you have planned falls right out! There it is… run over by another car that somehow made it to the same dusty road you’ve found yourself on.
A realization sets in.
The “plan” was just a stepping stone to building more courage for the unknown.…and damn. We really aren’t alone in this place! So, here we are. Seamlessly enveloped in a new year. New inspired possibilities riddled with the anxiety of years that have past. We have hope, but we know more is coming down the pipeline. Have you begun to trust this voice yet? More unknown. Whispers from the fade. Civil unrest. There is fear and anxiety in what we can’t do.
There is empowerment and hope in what we can. For 2022, both the mystics and the economist are projecting a rebalancing of our foundations. A connecting back (possibly redefining) our values. As I take another sip of coffee, I acknowledge the work to be done. And I see the new plan unfolding. It begins with revisiting ones values, creating a new foundation, and a recommitment to them. While it’s inevitable that this plan will be tossed, it’s what brings each of us to the next step. Through a bit more of the unknown.
Until we receive the next clue in navigating these new waters.

Day 1
Day 1.
Year of 6.
May we have the courage to step into our dreams, the strength to overcome, and the stamina to endure.
May we build more bridges, more trust,
and abundance for all beings.
May we be surrounded by love, vulnerability to share it, and the openness to receive it.
May we have the spaciousness to rest and heal.
And may we have the openness to hear different ways of thinking so that we may learn, grow, and make the change we long to see in the world, together.
Happy New Year.
xo,
Danielle

Quote by Dr. Joseph Murphy
"You can bring into your life more power, more wealth, more health, more happiness, and more joy by learning to contact and release the hidden power of your subconscious mind."
- Dr. Joseph Murphy.
Unfortunately, many of us inadvertently use our minds to conjure up negative images. So much of our day is consumed with worrying about the future, or by mentally re-living uncomfortable events that are already in the past.
Just as positive imagery can lead to positive results, negative imagery can lead to negative results such as increased stress levels, increased blood pressure, insomnia, a weakened immune system...the list goes on. This is why it is so important that you find time to introduce positive imagery into your life.

Teaching the Sound Healing Certification Program
Teaching the Sound Healing Certification Program I have the privilege to witness you all overcome your old Self and boldly step into a new paradigm.
I know in order for you to do this, there are many battles that take place internally. The shadow revealed. Mental games spiral. Emotional scars cry out. And time after time, I see you rise!
And this rising is necessary for the emergence of a powerfully aligned Sound Healing Practitioner.
Conjuring the courage to do what you’re feeling aligned to do in an industry that has no walls except for the ones you build. When you embody the shift and step out of someone else’s imagination of what was projected as you, best for you, or made for you, is an act of rebellion.
The ripple affect echos deep.
It changes lives.
It changes worlds.
And you carry the wisdom that it all starts with Self.
Check out SoundEmbrace.com for more information on the program and to schedule a free informational call with me! TODAY is the last day.
I look forward to connecting with you personally to see if this is the best fit for you goals. You may dive in as soon as you sign up, and our live virtual class is Saturday Jan 8, and Sunday Jan 9, 2021! Space is limited.

Quote by Inayat Khan
"Work with sound until you're absolutely amazed that you can produce such a sound and it seems to you that you are just the instrument through which the Divine Pied Piper blows the whisper
of the incantations of his magic spell.
Become yourself a pure vibration beyond space.
If the sound generated by the vocal cords into the vibratory network of the Universe has the faculty of tuning one, it is because it links one with the cosmic symphony. The repetition of a physical sound sets off a sound current. A vibrational tidal wave in the ether by building up energy. You must become pure vibration and pass on through to the other side."

We are moving into the year of the 6
We are moving into the year of the 6.
“2022 adds up to a 6 Universal Year, which is all about accepting and assuming responsibility. After the multitude of changes and adjustments that the 5 Universal Year brought us in 2021, it's time for the world to acclimate to a new pace and make the most of our new reality.”
Work toward something meaningful
6 is a very responsible number, so while this 6 Universal Year is a good one to make serious efforts toward your dreams, don’t indulge in flights of fancy. Instead, put your effort into building something that can withstand the test of time. If you work hard, you could embark on a journey that lasts the rest of your life, or at least builds the foundations of your future.
Strengthen your existing relationships
While 2021 allowed you to focus more on your own needs, 2022 encourages you to touch base with the people in your life and remember just how important their presence is, for a whole multitude of reasons. Make people feel appreciated and let them know the value they have in your life.
Increase your social circle
Regardless of how many friends you already have, the 6 Universal Year makes a point of sending interesting and meaningful new relationships our way. Many of the people you meet this year could have a major impact on your life for years to come, so consider socializing to be something of a mandate in 2022.
Seek out stability
The 6 Universal Year invites you to find a grounded place from which to operate, leaving behind the uncertainty of the past year and putting a premium on building a firm foundation. This might sound unexciting, but it can bring you a lot of stability and peace of mind moving forward.

Quote by Francis Densmore
The Medicine Man, taking his music with him, is passing quietly into the Great Silence, where the old songs were “Received in Dreams” by “inner-plane communication. - Francis Densmore (1867-1957) friend of Geronimo
For a moment take pause to remember those who have passed on from this plane and celebrate their memory.
For just a moment remember those who have experienced loss. Share a beautiful memory. Doing so will remind them they are not alone.
And for just one more minute remember those who your are unable to be near. That distance is no barrier to love. But a testimonial to its depth.
I love you! Happy Holidays near and far.

Finding a New Sense of Equilibrium
Finding a new sense of equilibrium.
The count down is almost through and then another will commence. Are we counting down moments to an end or of moments of arrival?
Small town living cramps the style of my big city mind filled with scattered ambitious thoughts fighting to be let loose. And yet my heart tells me there is nothing to do right now... that “Here” is exactly where I am suppose to be.
Feeling the seconds of the day with each cool inhale.
Remembrance of what was and what has become, with each warm exhale. Immersed in the squeals of laughter from little nieces.
Lost in the colorful cascade of lights of the Christmas tree.
Early morning coffee joined by cuddles from my brothers dog.
Dad’s sarcasm. Mom’s check ins.
Long talks with my siblings.
The quiet here at night is immeasurable.
And so is my gratitude.
For so very long I've felt disconnected from this life, and now I have a glimpse of how my worlds can come together.
I feel it all.
Every little bit.
I find peace in this moment.
And I wish that for you.
3 of 4 Levels of Sound in Nada Yoga
The third level of sound is where the visual world and auditory world intersect and eventually overlap and merge.
So on the radio sound effects are used to help us visualize a place or circumstance and on television sound effects are used in the same way to enhance an on screen location or represent an off camera action.
So first it is a sound picture; this visual of an object, a place or a person summoned by a specific sound. Even a place or situation we may not have experienced can be built by sound.
Sounds can provide a pathway for our memory that triggers parts of a picture that we then assemble into this whole.
Second it is also possible to hear an abstract sound and generate a visual narrative like an internal movie. We do this with our intuitive imagination. We can get a feeling from the music and imagine a scene to go with it. Going a step further we can also construct an abstract picture of the sound itself. It's a picture that's not really identifiable as an object that we might see in our waking life, our real world. It can be either a visual of the whole sound or visual representations of the notes. This intersection can float both ways. Not only can a sound generate a visual but a visual can generate a sound. An internal picture of someone we remember may cross over into hearing something that they said. In any visual, moving or still image can have its own soundtrack in our mind.

Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become more fervent and vivid
“Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become more fervent and vivid.” - Mary Shelly, Frankenstein
Oh hey! That’s my face! And if you’ve signed up for Level 1 of the Sound Healing Certification Program you sure are going to see a lot of it. Including the array of hair color and styles!
But we all know that’s not why you’ve sign up…
This program has a great track record.
This program is changing lives.
This program is empowering leaders in sound healing to create the change they want to see in the world by making an impact in the communities they’re passionate about serving!
It’s beyond anything I could have dreamed of when I set out to do this. Though the road to manifestation can be challenging, the things we dream of can really come true. And I am humbled to shed light, share light, feed the light as you walk this path.

Quote by Jagannath Carrera
Reverend Jagannath Carrera says in the Yoga Sutras; "Nada, the first vibration of which all creation manifests.
Sound is the first manifestation of the absolute Brahman in the same way each of us are vibrating on many levels. We are vibrating from the subatomic to the cellular level, from the rhythm of our respiration to the pulse of our heart, from the vibrational tension of our muscles to the micro electrical pulses of our nervous system. There is also within us a vibration and internal sound. This is the Nada."

Happy Winter Solstice!
“No one knew the name of this day; Born quietly from deepest night, It hid its face in light, Demanded nothing for itself, Opened out to offer each of us A field of brightness that traveled ahead, Providing in time, ground to hold our footsteps And the light of thought to show the way. The mind of the day draws no attention; It dwells within the silence with elegance.” -John O'Donohue
Light a candle to sit with what’s needing action within.
We will soon all be taking action outwardly. ❤️
Happy Winter Solstice!
I Have Given in to My Addiction.
I have given in to my addiction.
The romantic, sappy, predictive, Christmas movies playing on streaming services has me tearing up, drinking Malbec, and eating Godiva chocolate covered cashews.
Send help if this continues after Christmas…
Just saying… it’s 2am.
Do I keep going?
Everything is energy.
Everything is energy.
All energy has a wave form.
Wave form give off a frequency.
Frequency gives an object its resonance!
There is so much more to Sound Healing than just dinging bowls.
