Branching Out

This past weekend I attended the Sebastopol Health & Wellness fair in conjunction with their weekly Farmer’s Market, held in the downtown square area. These tandem events happen only once or twice a year so it was exciting for me to showcase sound healing for people who were interested. I brought seven of my singing bowls and a handful of eye-catching crystals. My demo sessions were at no charge – it’s more important for me to spread the word and promote what I do so I wanted to get as many people as possible in my booth and get them to walk away with a memorable experience. I enjoy giving people an exchange of energy rather than money in situations like this.

The next event I’m going to with a booth setup is the Sonoma County Yoga Festival at Somo Village in Rohnert Park, on July 8th and 9th. I will be there to represent Songbird Healing Center and Singing Bowl Healing. Songbird will have a couple of other healers joining me in the booth so this should be a great exhibition for us. Put this yoga event on your calendars and come check it out if you have time that weekend. It looks like it’s going to be a great festival for Sonoma County and the local community.

I also wanted to put out there that if your business, facility, spa/resort, festival, etc. has any events coming up and you would like me to do a showcase or demo of some type, email me or give me a call.

Hands of Gold

“Hands of Gold” is hosted by Songbird Community Healing Center in downtown Cotati on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month. I’m now a practitioner for Songbird and will be involved with these events along with other events throughout the year. If you can’t make a session at my office in Santa Rosa this is a great alternative to get a feel of how sound healing works.

There are also a nice variety of other healers there too. For a very small donation you can come in and get healings, advice, or readings done by outstanding practitioners who are eager to help you out in any way possible. The “Hands of Gold” sessions start at 7:30 PM and you can check out their website for more info on this and other events that are going on there daily. It’s fun, relaxing and a pleasant way to spend an evening.

Happy New Year!

2017 is here and I want to wish everybody a very Happy New Year! Let this year be the best year of your life. The past is nothing but a memory now and by putting ourselves in a good space physically and emotionally, getting older with each year that passes becomes such a gift and treasure to take in. I love getting older, life gets so much better as we gain wisdom and the appreciation for living and our surroundings becomes more valuable to our hearts.

I’ve been suggesting to people to write down your goals and what you want to accomplish this year on paper. Put the thoughts out there and release them so they don’t just stay bottled up in you. Keep that paper nearby and maybe read it every month and as a reminder to get everything you wish for in 2017. To me this simple exercise makes a big difference.

As far as what’s to come for Singing Bowl Healing this year, one thing that I want to do is have an open house for a weekend around March. This will allow people to come in and see the studio and get a taste of what all this great energy work is about. I will have food and drinks to serve and will be glad to answer all questions to explain and demonstrate what I do here at Singing Bowl Healing. I’m also in the process of getting T-shirts made, we are working on the design right now and will hopefully have the first batch ready in a month or so. I would also like to hook up with a farmer’s market so I can set a booth up for promotion this year and meet people face-to-face to tell them about sound healing.

I definitely need to advertise more this year, but it has to be the right advertising to serve me and I think meeting people one-on-one is so much more beneficial than just placing an ad in a magazine. The studio space is still getting better as I add more flavor of decorations and it’s gradually getting to where I want it. I want people to have the wow factor when they step in and I think it’s about 80% there. The plan is to have it at 100% by March. Other than that I’m going to continue to keep pushing forward with the energy work here to get you feeling in the best shape of your life. Thank you for visiting the website and reading this. Any questions? Feel free to call or email.

Stocking Up with Crystals

Over the past few weeks, I have purchased a wide variety of crystals and gemstones for the office. This really is the next phase for the sound healings, by integrating gemstones to the experience. I have a few good sized amethyst crystals surrounding the room for protection. They have been absorbing the sounds of the bowls as they’re enjoying their new home. Other gemstones like the clear quartz, obsidian, moonstone, sodalite and many more will be called upon to for their healing capabilities by color and their metaphysical qualities. The gemstones are being placed either inside the bowl or upon areas of the body.

For example, the 4th chakra (heart) relates to the color green which calls for a stone like aventurine. I’m placing the stone either inside the bowl or on the body. Both ways I feel really enhance the healing by mixing the sound and stones together. The heart chakra is a tone G/G#. I have the corresponding singing bowl for that tone and aventurine stone working as a team in the heart area of the body. Having them as a duo truly is the path for these healings. I will continue to work and practice to hone this exercise for people’s ultimate experience. Again, the theme will always be “natural”.

We need to get back to becoming one with Mother Earth. Eat food from her soil. Healing done through sound, not man-made medicine. Stones and crystals from the earth have endless powers to tune your awareness and revive your body and spirit. This is the true way of life, observing our surroundings and being grateful for all these brilliant tools we have on this planet.

There are a couple gem faires coming to the North Bay in the next month or so and I will be visiting those with much anticipation to gather more crystals and gems!
