“Go
placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence”
~Max Ehrmann
(Desiderata)
One of the most important aspects I’ve
learned in sound healing (and life!) is the value of silence…. When was the last time you sat in
silence? I mean real silence- the full on,
cut the mental chatter, out of this world, silence? When have you last taken the time to hear the
space between the notes, or taken the time to sit in silence in your own
heart? There is so much to learn when
you take the journey into your own soul and just to allow yourself to be. Sit in the center of your heart and allow the
sounds of your inner world to become prominent.
An interesting paradox- to learn about
silence in working with sound- but think about it for a moment…technically
speaking, there is no true silence- but the absence of noise. When you can actually rise above the noise of
every day life, and calm the torrent of thoughts, there is another layer of
sound to behold! The leaves rustle in a
gentle breeze, the birds sing when we stop to listen, the crickets at night,
all create a symphony that we can tune into when we are mindful. Take a beautiful and peaceful break from the
hecticness of life. Sit in silence and
connect with the depths of your soul.
One of the easiest ways to calm the
mind and settle into the essence of one’s own being is to focus on the breath,
and bring your awareness of a feeling state.
In other words, open your heart to gratitude. Feel the feelings of being really grateful
for something in your life. Connect with
the expansiveness of energy that comes with that feeling- and continue to
breathe it in. Getting into a feeling
state is the quickest way to stay connected in the heart.
The birds, the trees, the earth are
whispering to you in song, a gentle song – sent to awaken your heart and to
uplift your soul. Heed the gentle song
and you will be in the flow of divine grace!
Abandon the clutter in your mind and make way for the state of grace.
This month we are grateful and are
able to share the joys and heartbreak with those close to us. We are able to share the bonds of friends and
family as we connect to our inner core as well as the things that lift us to
the higher realms. Feel yourself flowing
on the breeze of the wind as you sail toward freedom! Feel this freedom as it calls to your very
soul and let go of all the things that hold you back! When you are in alignment with your life as
it is in this moment- suddenly, it feels like a breath of fresh air flows into
your world. Allow sweetness and grace to
enter your life and bask in the purity of that energy…Connect with silence- and
stay pure of heart and lovingly grateful for all that you have and all that you
are.
In loving gratitude,
cathie
