Sound has been used in many cultures as a tool for healing. This healing may come through mantras or melodies or using certain instruments such as singing bowls, flutes, or didgeridoos. In actuality by using rhythm and sound frequency we begin to entrain our brainwaves. Then it becomes possible to shift our normal beta state (waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxation consciousness). You ask what the merit to doing that is — more love, joy and peace. Is there anyone out there that wouldn’t sign up for more peace or love or joy in their life?
Last evening the participants in Winter Feast for the Soul meditated to “World Sound Meditation (Gaia’s Song)” by Tom Kenyon. All of the persons in the circle had deep experiences of transformation. Many if you may have seen the viewing of the movie The Songof the New Earth, created as a song of love and healing for our earth. This movie was released in 2014 and some of you saw the release in our Sanctuary. You may remember the music performed by Tom. Watching the movie and opening to the sound experiences created brief “altered states of consciousness,” which many persons took with them for days and weeks afterward. (I will speak to our Prayer Chaplains and Healing Arts Ministry about creating another viewing of the movie in our Sanctuary for those interested.)
This Sunday we have an experience with a different Denise; Denise DeSimone – an Author, Speaker, Singer, and Minister who wrote the book From Stage IV to Center Stage. Yes she took herself from Stage IV Cancer to Healing and then out into the world to talk about it. Denise will speak to us during our Celebration Service and then offer a Sound Healing Workshop after service called “The Sound of Your Dreams”. Whether you have had a diagnosed disease or you just would like to “tweak” your health and wellness; this would be an experience you don’t want to miss.
Those who chose to come to the workshop will experience:
- A Guided Meditation
- Chakra Clearing and Balance
- The Wheel of Life Visual
- Your Name as a Mantra
“Your dream is calling your name.” Denise DeSimone Oh – I know – this is Super Bowl Sunday! You will be home long before Kick– Off time!
Peace is the Way,
Rev. D
