Today marks the 2nd year anniversary my life (as well as my husband’s) dramatically changed. Perhaps you’ve read my blog about this – Thanksgiving Miracles: Blessings and Miracles. For those who haven’t, basically my husband had a seizure, followed by many, MANY health obstacles and complications. These included a bladder filled with 3 liters of urine, “covid,” neurological seizure, organ failures (bladder, liver and kidney failure all at the same time), pneumonia, and MRSA (in 2 places) with a staph infection at the same time. He was unresponsive for about 2 weeks, and I was told twice by the hospitalist he “would not make it.”
My reaction, without hesitation? She was wrong. I don’t know how I knew but I did – with ALL my heart. The Universe had been slowly leading and guiding me to words like frequency, hertz (hz) and sound healing. At the time I was teaching music at a Catholic elementary (grades K-8). I took sick days and eventually FMLA time to spend around his bedside and to help care for him while recovering. While he was in the hospital, I had some time to start reading and learning about frequencies – especially the solfeggio frequencies. Things the Universe had been shoving in front of my face for a while. And I started to put them “to practice” on my husband without any real training.
So rapid was my husband’s progress (beginning around the 3rd week he was in the ICU), his nurses allowed me to spend a LOT of time with him. This in itself was extraordinary as the “rules” were that I could only be there 10 minutes a day. But as I said, once I saw him in person, I began applying (playing via my phone and computer) certain “frequencies.” This included while I was in the room with him and at night. At night, I would state my intention – that I was about to play a certain (insert name of) frequency number for (stated specific medical issue) I was focusing on. I would then ask to communicate with his spirit guides/angels and play the music in my room (at a soft /low level) though he was at least a 30-minute drive away from me and would not technically hear it.
I even used a weighted “OM” (Earth’s frequency) tuning fork on his hand. The reason? His hands were so puffed and swollen they were 3-4 times the normal size for him. His skinny fingers looked like huge, fat cigars. I didn’t really know what would happen but had read it wouldn’t hurt him or cause him pain, so I put the tuning fork on his hand. I didn’t even know about pressure and trigger points then, but I did it with good intentions… yet again. The result? His swollen hand immediately and drastically went down in size! Even his nurse notice this.
Miraculous. Amazing. Those were words the medical personnel and care takers repeatedly used. My husband fully recovered, I returned to work and at the end of the school year I left my teaching position. More on that in another post. Then I began my informal and formal education and training on various sound healing techniques. I officially began my new “career” as a sound healer and vibrational sound practioner in January 2023. It’s been an interesting year for my new career. But what is even more incredible is the path I took to get here and that today marks the 2nd “anniversary” of the start of all this.
While I would NEVER have wished what my husband endured on anyone, I am filled with so much love and gratitude. So here I go……trying to not only raise my vibration by speaking of this gratitude and sharing it with you but also thankful to the Universe and Creator for this astounding miracle that happened. What and why am I grateful? First and foremost, for the total healing of my husband. To this day I am filled with the wonder, awe and amazement of what happened. Religious people may think it was a great lesson in faith and it was. Faith is knowing without seeing – just believing. But it was even deeper than that – a spiritual awakening.
I am grateful for all the techniques and modalities I have and continue to learn regarding energy healing – which comes from the Divine One, Source, Creator, God. I am merely the one who has learned how to “tap” into that Divine Healing energy and share it with my clients, friends and family. Anyone who is open minded and spiritual (not necessarily “religious”) can too. There is a HUGE difference in religion vs spirituality but that also can come in another post. And the real healer through all this is the client and the Divine Creator who lives inside each of us.
I am filled with gratitude for my new friends, soul tribe and for my husband who believed in me and this new endeavor when my closest friends (at the time) and family thought I was nuts. I am also grateful that our Creator revealed these things to me so I could fulfill my true soul’s purpose here on Earth. I am ever so grateful to have a business owner who believed (and still believes) in me and allows me to “work” at her studio. I am grateful that we still have a roof over our heads and food to eat.
I am truly blessed and filled with so much love for and gratitude for my clients. That they found me, believe in their own inherent abilities to heal themselves and come to see me to absorb the sounds from various instruments. I am thankful that they come for private sessions with tuning forks, gongs or Himalayan Bowls. I am overwhelmed with the continued support by those attending the sound baths and drum circles. I am grateful to be a witness as my clients (who I think of as soul friends & family) travel along their own wellness journey. The things I hear and see from them, the changes and improvement, are another validation of the amazing healing powers of sound. This healing I witness includes from physical ailments, mental and emotional things as well as spiritual and they are true inspirations to me and others who know them.
While I loved teaching my young students, I love (even more so) my students now – of all ages. I continue to be appreciative of being able to get out in nature more and have the time to study and learn things that are helpful in my wellness journey as well as others. I love being able to watch the absolutely stunning sunrise on my walks. To take the time to admire the majestic beauty in the world around me – the blue skies, shades and hues of greens, flowers in the field, the gorgeous fall colors, the songs of the birds and our many windchimes, splashing in puddles, the crunch of the leaves. I could go on and on. And I am forever grateful to have more time to spend with my husband, take care of my elderly parents and spend time (and not feel or be rushed) with my new friends and tribe. So, I thank you, Father Sky and Mother Earth, for giving me these many blessings and the peace of mind & spirit.
Now it’s your turn. What things are you grateful for? Are they expensive things or are they absolutely priceless and irreplicable things like people and moments? Take nothing for granted and don’t wait until it’s too late. Show your gratitude – tell someone how much you appreciate them. Don’t ignore them or refuse to give them the time of day because they believe or act differently than you. Spend time with them, make them something or grow something like fruits, vegetables or flowers and share them.
When someone yells at you, treats you badly, cuts you off in traffic – don’t fly off the handle or yell back. Revenge does not raise your vibration. In fact, it lowers it. Think about things from the perspective of that person for we all carry “baggage” and some kind of trauma. What happened to them to make them react in such a way? Did they just find out some terrible news, have a death in the family or a sick child? Have they been mistreated? Are they about to lose “everything?” Then imagine a bubble of love surrounding and protecting them. Pray for them if you are inclined.
Open the door for someone, say please or thank you. Help clean the dishes, sweep the floor, or fold some laundry for a friend, spouse or another family member. Give someone a sincere compliment such as for taking the time to make a home cooked meal. Call someone, rather than text or message. The human voice is sound. Sounds can be hurtful or healing. Do you choose kind words? What is your tone like? Is it condescending, sarcastic, shrill or harsh, or loving? I am just like you for we are all connected…a work in progress, so I do understand.
Finally…show gratitude and love to yourself. Treat yourself in the same manner. Cut yourself some slack. Take some time to do something you love to do. Reward yourself. Meditate, dance, exercise, listen to music, read, travel, learn something new. Or simply take a nap (even if only for 10 minutes) or a relaxing bath. Get a massage, a reiki treatment, your nails done, or might I add……try a sound healing/sound therapy session, drum circle or sound bath? J
Focus on you and your health & wellness – mind, body and spirit. Society did you no favor and has lied to you. You ARE worthy and deserving! For when you take care of yourself, you can then actually be all that you need and want to be. You’ll have more energy and time to do other things in life and take care of others. You won’t feel so drained, your batteries will feel recharged, and you’ll raise your vibration all at the same time.
I may not personally know you, but I am grateful for you; for taking the time to find this post and ponder and wonder about these things. I wish you a day (or night depending on when you read this) filled and surrounded with the warmth, radiance and love of our Creator and the Universe – who, by the way, happens to also be grateful for you. Until next time – blessings!
