Our intellects naturally focus on problems-on what we perceive as reality through our five senses. As Einstein put it so well, “You can’t solve a problem at the level of the problem.”

Since most of us in this culture live primarily in our heads, looking for logical answers is an automatic response. Intellectual solutions alone, especially now, fail to solve the root cause of the situation. Even focusing on a positive solution generated by the intellect can miss the point of the challenge, which is the expansion of your Essential Self.

In my last post I wrote about the benefits of “Sound Bathing” with audible sounds. You can also enter the sound or vibration of silence, and with the Life Force, the Light in each breath you take, clear your heart as your brain entrains to the wisdom of the One Mind through your own heart. Your heart is “a specialized brain” *, and is able to access wisdom that is beyond the level of any problem or challenge you will ever experience. When your brain and heart are in harmony, you free yourself from duality thinking; align with the Infinite Mind of all possibilities, and release yourself from the limitations of cause and effect!

Since your heart can also store painful or intense memories, it is essential that you consciously clear your heart first so that you can access new information. The Life Force/Light can clear your heart of old memories that limit your ability to directly access wisdom and guidance. It is not necessary to add audible sound, unless you are inspired to do so. Sounds or mantras, such as those used in the practice of Ho’oponopono, can also be silently repeated. Following what you are inspired to do is the key.

Whenever thoughts of any challenging situation arise, focus on your heart as you breathe. Intend that Light, and whichever sound vibration you chose, clear your heart. Allow Inspiration to guide you. As your heart and brain come into harmonious relationship, you reconnect with your Self—potential solutions spontaneously arise or happen independent of your actions. The timing and solutions are always “I ka pono mea” — the Hawaiian phrase which means “all things are in exellence.” This is also a powerful mantra to repeat: with thanks to Aunty Mahealani via Renee Robinson aka The Book Angel (favorite sites).

The speed of creation is accelerating; the faster we all remember to move out of our intellects and into our hearts, the faster we will be in alignment with and create our hearts’ deepest desires.

Some situations can be more emotionally challenging, and inspired sound can be a powerful catalyst. Last year, while living in Hawai’i, I had a client who had never experienced a sound session before and it was, as I understand, an initial stretch for her. The very first time and in every subsequent sound session she was profoundly affected. Her words to me were,” I don’t know what happens or what you do, but after each session my life changes.”

She was truly ready for a significant life change, and I watched that occur with her in a very powerful way. My own belief is that I don’t “do” anything for someone else. My role is as a catalyst and support—the power to change came through her conscious choice and commitment, and from the vibrational assistance that is always available for all of us when we ask.

While I am on a break from traveling, I am offering a short complimentary call so that we can explore, if what I offer is a match for your current needs. You can reach me via my contact page. As always my wish is that you manifest your most outrageous dreams, and create from a heart that is free of memories you no longer choose to repeat. It is time for each of us to be and to create from our True Nature.

* I highly recommend the book, The Secret Teachings Of Plants by Stephen Harrod Buhner. Contrary to what you might expect, the first part of this book is filled with some of the best presented and researched information I have ever read about our hearts. The rest of the book is equally wonderful—5 stars!!

Looking back it seems as though my body was no longer willing to continue to hold the unexpressed emotion I was unconsciously carrying around. Often, while releasing, I would immediately realize what I had suppressed. As the years have gone by my process has changed; fortunately I am now more aware of my inner responses and there is much less unconscious stuffing. However, recently I began to think back on these earlier experiences, and the positive effects of taking a daily (or at least weekly) sound bath. How would you feel if you didn’t shower for months, years or ever? Yuck! Since our physical bodies are  vibrational as science is now demonstrating, we also need to clean them vibrationally. Our entire vibrational field extends far beyond our physical bodies (directly affecting our health, energy levels, mental, and emotional states), and cleaning it is also essential. The intentional use of sound is a powerful force for cleaning, and for creating. Best of all your own voice is all you need!

Why use sound when there are other less potentially invasive ways to do this— I’m thinking of housemates, families and neighbors?! While other types of vibrational cleaning are both effective and can be easier to use, I am focusing on sound because of certain essential benefits I will briefly mention.

The throat is the center for self-expression and creativity, and those qualities have been often been squelched in our homes and our  school systems, setting up early patterns of repression. When you allow yourself to make spontaneous sounds, you release constriction in your throat center, and you connect more fully with your power to express and create. In this period of dynamic change, we need each person’s contribution to the new paradigm that is unfolding on Earth, as the old one falls away.

The throat is also where we connect with our Power of Choice. We are often bombarded with thought forms and emotions both from others and from within ourselves, which challenge our ability to respond rather than react–particularly when fear is evoked. When we strengthen our connection to our own throats, we also strengthen our ability to be at the point of choice when faced with a challenge that could potentially trap us in drama. When we are aware at the point of choice, we have the opportunity to change our personal and collective destinies rather than live out endless repetitions of past patterns.

Now all that is rather serious and while necessary, we don’t want to dwell there because seriousness creates more heaviness, which is, after all, what we are clearing out! So let’s lighten up instead and have fun making sounds. Your inner child  is inherently spontaneous and creative, and loves to make all kinds of sounds. The wilder, crazier and funnier the better. This is a chance to be really creative and have fun–even while releasing stuck energy related to events that were not funny at the time. You will feel cleaner and lighter after you do this, and maybe younger too.
