Aligning Passion with Purpose
Every day, I’m reminded of the power of aligning passion with purpose - doing work that feels like play, surrounded by amazing people who inspire and uplift, all while earning abundantly.
It’s a blessing to wake up excited about projects that speak to my talents, and to know that I am making a meaningful impact.
I am a sound alchemist, a Crystal Tones singing bowl distributor, a Broadway and opera soprano, a Reiki Master, an artist and a writer.
I first trained as a Reiki Master and bioenergetic practitioner (moving energy in the body through breath, movement and sound) 25 years ago, in the School of Self Mastery with Master Healer Ron Baker (www.ronbaker.net). The deep embodiment work with Ron was nothing short of life changing, and has enabled me to move through the most difficult of situations that life has presented. It gave me the knowledge, the tools and the understanding that no matter what life handed me, I would not only prevail . . .I would thrive.
My initial training as a sound healer was 15 years ago, with Tom Kenyon, a Master Sound Healer and Acoustic Brain Researcher (www.tomkenyon.com). I began my current sound healing business (SoulOSoaring LLC) four years ago, after taking a six month mentorship with Susy Schieffelin (www.thecoppervessel) and I haven’t looked back. As doors opened, I walked through them. And I have walked myself right into a flourishing sound healing business.
Mentors are so important, and I can’t thank Ron, Tom and Susy enough. Their unfailing belief in me has far outpaced my belief in myself. They have urged me forward when I would step on the proverbial brake, too fearful to take the next right action. As momentum built, so did my confidence. I am eternally grateful.
Follow your heart. Find a mentor. When you hear the call, take that first step. With planning and consistent effort, the universe will respond.
Your gifts and talents are needed in the world during this unprecedented moment in the Earth’s transformation into the Aquarian age. The time is now to create a life filled with purpose, prosperity and heart.
Some of you know that I have been studying sound and energy healing for about 15 years, and that crystal alchemy singing bowls are my newest passion. What you may not know is that I am certified in four different healing modalities: I am a sound healer, a Reiki Master, a practitioner of The Energy Codes, and of bioenergetics. I am currently in a healing practitioner support circle, and one of the commitments made within the group is to a daily meditation chant. Several mornings ago in my daily meditation chant, I experienced something that touched me deeply, and thought I would share it with you.
As I chanted the designated Sanskrit phrases sequentially, I visualized a stream of energy rising up from the base of my spine, rotating counterclockwise. I directed it up the front of my spine through each of the body’s energy centers. As it reached my heart space, emotions rose up unexpectedly, and tears streamed down my face. My first thought was that these were feelings of grief and loss, as I had just moved from a neighborhood that I loved, leaving behind friends, a beautiful beach, my garden. But as I allowed the feelings to release, and I resumed the chant, I realized that the tears were not of grief, but of JOY. Joy because the energy was touching and opening a new space in my heart center. I understood this center was full of pure love, and at this particular moment, that love was meant for me - self-love. This was the sustainable energy that would free me from looking for love outside of myself. And with this deeper self-love, my capacity to love others would deepen as well. I moved into a space of profound gratitude, and slowly brought my awareness out of the meditation, and back to the present moment. Namaste.
