Sound Healing
“Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul.”
— Plato
Sound and music speak so deeply to me - and to many of us. Ever since a child, I’d close my eyes and let myself be fully enveloped by nature’s ceaseless song: the wind whispering to the leaves of trees, the ocean’s hum, thunder’s roar and the gentle song of bird and bee. There are no words that can describe the yearned for arrival I sensed when I started discovering music and playing the piano as a child - my first and dearest instrument.
I felt something stir deep within me... a longing... a relief... As though my soul had been waiting for that moment for so long, to be able to pour itself and dissolve into sound, to unfold freely and fulfill its purpose with every key I pressed. Again and again... Later, with every string I struck, every note I sang or breath I took.
Still today... it never ceases to amaze me. How far music and sound take me, yet how close, intimately deep within myself they bring me too. Where do sound and music take you? If you close your eyes... and listen... in presence. Where do you arrive?
“Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances. ”
— Maya Angelou
