Road to Compassion

If you're looking for an inner sound journey to start 2021, check out my new recording - We Are With You. Headphones or earbuds are essential as the panning (sound moving from side to side) is a key element of the journey. There are two versions of We Are With You, one with words and one without. If you listen to the one with words, imagine that my voice is the voice of whomever is the most supportive and loving person or being that you know - a family member, elder, friend, ancestor, angel, spirit guide, etc. If you listen to the one without words, I recommend some gentle breath work, filling your lungs without pushing and letting the exhale fall without effort, like a wave against the shore. I recommend this breathing for the version with words, too. https://soundcloud.com/thegold//ceremony-and-sound-healing

The ultimate purpose of inner healing is to make more space in your being for an expanded (or expanding) consciousness. When inner healing is done well, it releases or transforms the contracted consciousness of right/wrong, good/bad, us/them, separateness, and creates more space for an expanded consciousness of empathy, understanding, interdependence, and togetherness. Whether you believe that consciousness emanates from the brain* or from beyond the brain,* an expanded consciousness is one in which there is more room for differences and for bridging differences, for forgiveness and compassion, and for integrity and restorative accountability. https://www.roadtocompassion.com//the-ultimate-purpose-of-

My good friend Vince Gowmon is doing some truly remarkable healing work. https://www.facebook.com/watch/

In order to fit into our families and into modern society, and in order to survive our traumas and overwhelming experiences, we had to cut off from our bodies to varying degrees and live more in our minds. Living more in our minds makes it very difficult to pay attention to and understand the information our bodies try to tell us, important information about how safe and connected we feel, about our instincts and intuition, about our personal boundaries and desires, and about... our physical, emotional and spiritual health. Coming back to the body is often a challenging journey as it requires that we go against the unconscious survival strategies we used to get through our childhood. The inner healing work that allows us to return to and deepen into the body needs specific awareness, tools, and support. With all of the above in mind, I designed my 9-Week Going Deeper Together course. The next GDT course starts on October 6.

Bringing music and breath together can support gentle and deep healing.
