Pierre-Michel MengerCollège de FranceAnnée 2023-2024Sociologie du travail créateurColloque - Boulez : l'invention au pouvoir ? Les années 1975-1995 - « …quasi vidua … ». On Anthèmes 2Session 4 : La musique en questionIntervenant :Gerald BennettFondateur et Ancien Directeur de l'Institute of Computer Music and Sound Technology, Université des Arts de ZurichColloque organisé pour le centenaire de la naissance de Pierre Boulez par le Pr Pierre-Michel Menger, chaire Sociologie du travail créateur, et Nicolas Donin, professeur de musicologie à l'université de Genève.Avec le soutien de la Fondation du Collège de France et de son grand mécène LVMH.RésuméPierre Boulez reminds us that one of the sources of the form of Anthèmes 1 is the plainchant Lamentations of Jeremiah, which he sang in his youth during the First Nocturne service on Holy Thursday. The most striking feature of this piece is the setting of the Hebrew letters that separate the various verses of the text. Boulez translates this idea by using the harmonics of the solo violin to separate the sections of Anthèmes, referring to the harmonics as "letters." He insists that he uses only the structure of the Lamentations in his music, not their content. In reality, however, the music itself often suggests the opposite, as examples will show. It is unlikely that a reader as sensitive as Boulez would refer to a work with such expressive content solely for formal reasons.During a discussion of Anthèmes 2 with Peter Szendy on the occasion of its first French performance in October 1997, Boulez explains why he abandoned his belief that music had to be athematic. Jonathan Goldman has admirably described and illustrated what constitutes a "theme" in the Anthèmes pieces. It is important to note how the use of themes influences the task of composition by adding an expressive dimension. At the same time, the choice of digital techniques to create the electronic accompaniment in Anthèmes 2 strongly defines and limits its expressive potential. The thematic material in the piece fulfills many functions: the articulation of large-scale form, the furnishing of coherent musical patterns on which to elaborate, dramatic contrast, historical reference, the creation of a musical-metaphorical context for the composition. All of these will be discussed with examples.

Pierre-Michel MengerCollège de FranceAnnée 2023-2024Sociologie du travail créateurColloque - Boulez : l'invention au pouvoir ? Les années 1975-1995 - Spirals in the Harmonic and Formal Structure of RéponsSession 3 : Spirales, dérives, fragments : le style compositionnel des années 1980Intervenant :Catherine LosadaProfessor of Music Theory, University of CincinnattiColloque organisé pour le centenaire de la naissance de Pierre Boulez par le Pr Pierre-Michel Menger, chaire Sociologie du travail créateur, et Nicolas Donin, professeur de musicologie à l'université de Genève.Avec le soutien de la Fondation du Collège de France et de son grand mécène LVMH.RésuméA landmark work, Pierre Boulez's Répons (1980-82) was written to showcase the technological potential of IRCAM, the Parisian Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music that Boulez founded in 1977. This piece, like many others, was considered a work-in-progress at the time of the composer's death in 2016. Existing associated scholarship for the most part builds on Boulez's commentary, which encompasses the five chords that generate the first two sections of the work and the concept of a spiral. On the aesthetic level, the spiral clearly illustrates the idea of a constantly evolving, unfinished work (DiPietro 2000), but Boulez's explanation of how it applies to the musical materials is somewhat vague "Répons is a set of variations in which the material is arranged is such a way that it revolves around itself" (Derrien 1988). In this paper, I will show how the model of a spiral is essential to the conception of this piece in two additional ways, one at a technical, pitch generation level, the other a larger formal level. In this way, I will elucidate interesting aspects of the harmonic structure of the piece, its overall form, and their relationship to Boulez's broader aesthetic outlook.The third version of Répons (1984) consists of an introduction, eight sections and a coda. An early version of the piece (1981) ended after the fourth section. My paper will comment on the evolving quality of Boulez's works by examining the relationship between section four and the immediately ensuing section—added in the following version (1982) (Jameux, 1989). The material for both sections is based on a chord that presents the SACHER hexagram in a precise registral disposition. Common to many of Boulez's later works, the use of this hexagram constitutes an homage to Boulez's benefactor, Paul Sacher. Although several sources note the importance of the hexagram for this piece, none explain its precise function. Boulez uses this chord as a basis for a fascinating technique (Example 1) that is related to, but distinct from techniques he used previously in his career, a spiral-like adaptation of a rotational array. The spiraling process creates precise registral invariances illustrated by the fixed boundary pitches and the arrows shown on the sketch. I will show how the array generates the instrumental material (discussed in Williams 1994, Tissier 2011) as well as the superimposed recorded material (the "wallpaper") for section four. Significantly, the material for the fifth section is based on a retrograde reworking of this material. This is the essence behind the formal concept of a spiral: a new, intensified cycling through materials that are related at a deep level. Finally, I will show how Boulez's application of this array creates a background pitch organization with a flexibility that successfully addresses the main challenge he sought to resolve in this piece: that of maintaining the vitality of live performance in a work that includes recorded materials (Boulez 1985). This was one of the most striking and influential aspects of this work.RéférencesBoulez, Pierre. 1985. "Pierre Boulez: Über Répons: ein Interview mit Josef Häusler." InTeilton.

In this powerful episode of Awakening Code Radio, Eric shares with Michelle and listeners his reflections on the passing of his mother on Valentine's Day, a day forever linked to love. In the final segment, we honor 'World Sound Healing Day', founded by Jonathan Goldman, with a guided meditation to project healing energy to the Gaia Matrix and our beloved Planet Earth.

She has dedicated her life to her spiritual path, and learning the healing arts and mystical wisdom of many world cultures. She is a holistic energy healer: Reiki Master; Crystal energy healer (certified, International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine); Sound Therapy & Sound Healing practitioner (certified, Complementary Therapists Accredited Association); and shamanic practitioner. Kathy walks the path of an ancient lineage of women frame drummers. An award-winning artist, photographer, and poet, Kathy's fine art photography can be found at her online gallery at KathyHarmonLuber.com, her shop at fineartamerica.com/profiles/kathy-harmon-luber/shop, and on Facebook at facebook.com/Kathy-Harmon-Luber-Suffering-to-Thriving-103160192354485. Kathy's compelling writing and marketing prowess have helped nonprofit organizations advocating the arts, education, and environment, as well as helping foster children and youth, helping homeless youth get off the streets, and empowering people with developmental disabilities. She's an articulate spokesperson, having appeared on CNN, in The New York Times, LA Times, The Washington Post, and more. She has taught at professional conferences, university, high school, and middle school levels. She earned her Graduate degree in Publishing from The George Washington University and BS in Marine Biology from University of NC, Wilmington. This time we get to visit with Kathy Harmon-Luber, a Sound Therapy & Sound Healing practitioner, Reiki Master. In her twenties Kathy was diagnosed with serious autoimmune diseases. Also, she was told that she had the spine of someone in their eighties. Kathy had grown up in Pennsylvania and then moved during her high school years to North Carolina. She will describe how she went to college and obtained a degree in Marine Biology, but after leaving college she went in a slightly different direction and began working for various nonprofit agencies including spending 12 years working for these organizations in Washington D.C.   As Kathy describes, she slowly began looking for ways to help her conditions and learned about and started to work with sound healing. In a sense, much came to a head in 2016 when she experienced a worse than usual ruptured disk in her back and became bed ridden for five years.   The unstoppable Kathy after coming to grips with her situation began to work on becoming aware of her own body and what it would need to heal. Clearly what she did worked as now, as she will tell us, walks two or more miles at a time. She still monitors her body, but that is the real crux of the issue; she is aware of her body and has learned what it needs to stay healthy. She reminds us that we all can be more aware of our physical and mental needs if we will but take the time to gain awareness and insights.   At the end of our time Kathy tells us of a free gift for all. You can find this gift on her website, www.sufferingtothriving.com.       About the Guest:   Kathy is an inspiring, compassionate, and empowering author and wellness guide whose passion is helping people navigate the challenging terrain of the healing journey. With insight and enthusiasm, she opens people's eyes to the potential of becoming more physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy by offering a toolkit of practical solutions. Her book, “Suffering to Thriving: Your Toolkit for Navigating Your Healing Journey ~ How to Live a More Healthy, Peaceful, Joyful Life,” is full of wisdom gleaned from decades of healing from health crises. Kathy went from suffering to thriving, reversing the progression of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and autoimmune disorders, and recovered (without surgery) from several debilitating, inoperable spinal diseases and disc ruptures which left her bed-ridden for five years. Kathy's passion is helping others find their compass and chart a course for navigating illness, injury, and loss – learning how to not only cope, but to become more resilient, joyful, and thriving.   Photo by Lynne Eodice     Ways to connect with Gail:   https://www.facebook.com/SufferingToThriving https://www.instagram.com/kathyluber/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathy-harmon-luber-4b38158/     About the Host:   Michael Hingson is a New York Times best-selling author, international lecturer, and Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe.

The podcast where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet. Hi, I'm Michael Hingson, Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe and the author of the number one New York Times bestselling book, Thunder dog, the story of a blind man, his guide dog and the triumph of trust. Thanks for joining me on my podcast as we explore our own blinding fears of inclusion unacceptance and our resistance to change. We will discover the idea that no matter the situation, or the people we encounter, our own fears, and prejudices often are our strongest barriers to moving forward.

Wherever you happen to be today you are listening to unstoppable mindset. I am your host, Michael hingson, and today we get to chat with Kathy Harmon Luber, who is a Reiki Master, a healer, and she comes by it very honestly. Why do I say that? Because for many years, like others I've had the opportunity to chat with on the podcast, she actually went through some very serious, debilitating and unhealthy issues. But also, like a number of people, as you will see, Cathy is very unstoppable. She went through it, and it is kind of helped shape what she does today and where she is in her life. And I'm going to leave it at that, because I think it'll be a whole lot more fun if you get to hear from her. So Kathy, welcome to unstoppable mindset.   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 02:16 Hi, Michael. I'm so happy to be here with you today.   Michael Hingson ** 02:19 And the other thing about Kathy is we don't live all that far apart from each other, because I live in a town called Victorville, and she lives in Idlewild, and so we're, as I said, I could she's below us, although a little ways away, but I could probably, if I had a really good, strong arm and a well built paper airplane, I could throw a plane that would go into her window and land on her desk, but I think that's going to be a little tough to do under normal conditions, but you never know what'll happen. But I'm really glad that you're here with us. Why don't we start? If we could by you telling us a little bit about kind of the early Kathy growing up and so on. That's always a fun place to start. Yeah,   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 02:59 always a good place to start. Thanks. You know, Michael, I grew up in Pennsylvania, even though we live in California now, I grew up in Pennsylvania, Western Pennsylvania, in a lovely small town. Our our home was on a property that my dad planted quite a lot of trees. He was a forestry major, so he planted lots of trees. We had this beautiful wooded yard, and I spent a lot of time outdoors and with our with our dog, our colleague, Taffy, and exploring the woods and nature. And so nature has always been such a big part of my, life as a result of that early upbringing, but I was also very, very creative back then and now i i played piano. I got started really young. When I was when I was three years old, my mom started giving me piano lessons because I had just sat down beside her one day and started to play and wanted to play. Then I moved on to flute. So I've, my dad played a lot of classical music, and so I was, I was always very inspired with that, and I also did a lot of art. And so young Kathy was, was was very creative. And I've, I've carried that through my life. It's been something that's given me a lot of strength through adversity. And as I like to say, you know, we all need to find our medicine to get us through life and the challenges that we face and creativity is my medicine, along with nature, is my medicine as well. So yeah, it's a little bit about my early days. So   Michael Hingson ** 04:44 you went to school and all those usual things that us kids did back in the day as it worked. I did. You went to college.   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 04:52 I did. I went   Michael Hingson ** 04:54 to college. Where did you go and what did you do?   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 04:57 Okay, well, interesting. I. We moved when I was 14 from this idyllic life in Pennsylvania to North Carolina. My dad got a great job offer in Charlotte, and he moved our family there. So I went to high school there for a couple of years, and then I went to college. He wanted me to stay in state, and so I went to University of North Carolina at Wilmington on the coast. I majored in marine biology. My dad did not want me to major in the creative arts. He was adamant about it. He wanted me to be a business major. And, you know, I subsequently have had a lot of experience in in business, but I I also just had this, you know, this, this love for nature that was, that was kindled in my my childhood. We also took trips to the beach once we moved to North Carolina, and so I, I decided to be a marine biology major. You know, I was very inspired by Rachel Carson and her, her books and, and other writings and and so that is, is what I majored in, and loved it. I used to, you know, snorkel and scuba dive and all of that, and just found the ocean to be another home. Yeah, cool.   Michael Hingson ** 06:17 So you went in and got a degree in marine biology, but what did you then do with it?   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 06:24 Yeah, isn't that interesting? Yeah. So   Michael Hingson ** 06:27 I, I know the feeling well.   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 06:32 So I moved with my soon to be now ex husband to to Washington, DC, after college, and I just had the fire in the belly to to work with advocacy organizations that make the world a better place. And that's been my entire career, prior to to career change into sound healing, and the the other healing arts and Reiki and all of that, which we'll talk about. But, but, yeah, I I was very inspired by my grandfather, who, you know, he was one of those people who was always volunteering, always making a difference in the world. Believed that we could make a difference no matter what was going on in the world and in the power of every person to make that difference. And so I was really inspired by that. And so I went to work in nonprofit organizations, and I worked in environmental organizations. I worked with a couple of organizations that that worked at the grassroots level to empower environmental organizations to to, you know, fight a lot of the big battles with with corporate polluters and super fun sites and things of that nature. I went on to work with a lot of of different, varied nonprofit organizations over the years, including when, when I was in DC, the Smithsonian Norman Lear's People for the American Way, a constitutional rights organization. So, so I've had a lot of varied experience in in the nonprofit world, but it was working. You know, in environmental causes that really lit me up. And later, you know, moving to California as a consultant, I also work for environmental organizations. So it's, it's been a passion of mine, yeah, so it   Michael Hingson ** 08:35 sounds though, like marine biology, in a sense, had a little bit of an influence. Did you find that there were ways and places where you were able to use some of that knowledge or some of the experience you gained along the way with marine biology? Yeah,   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 08:49 for sure, within the environmental work that I did, I did fundraising and grant writing, and certainly the marine biology, you know, I took ecology classes and animal physiology classes and all kinds of things that weren't specifically marine biology related, but biology and nature related. So so that well rounded education has served me very, very well over the years. And I might also say that at the time that we moved to DC and I went to work in these environmental nonprofits, I really wanted to get an advanced degree in marine biology. There were hiring freezes in the government. They were doing a lot of the hiring of young Marine Biology majors. And so I kind of hit a roadblock there, which required me to pivot a little bit. And that's kind of been the story of my career. As I've gone through many different kinds of nonprofits. You know, as opportunities opened that that seemed interesting to me and and worthwhile causes, I have had these pivots into slight. The, you know, different fields and away from the marine biology, but it to the state, you know, I've still done, like, a lot of snorkeling, and put that information to use as well. So it's been both professionally as well as in my personal life. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 10:17 well, so you, you were in DC for how long? 12 years, wow. And then, what did you do? Then   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 10:26 I had a great opportunity. I I worked. The last job I had in in DC was working with the Democratic National Campaign Committee to to raise what was then, like a record breaking amount of money, and I was offered a job doing some some consulting in LA, and I, I, I really love DC. I have so many great memories and lots of friends still to this day, but I had the opportunity in working in DC to travel to California a lot, and I loved it here. And so when that job opportunity came, I decided to move to California. I've worked with a lot of different varied I got out of politics at that point and into other kinds of nonprofits that make the world a better place. And that includes, you know, the arts, Health and Human Services, helping traumatized children mental health issues. So quite a lot of of organizations that that help people. Yeah, so what did you   Michael Hingson ** 11:44 What did your father think about you going into all this nonprofit work, even though he wanted you to get and you got your degree in marine biology, or did he approve?   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 11:56 Uh, you know, he wasn't crazy about it, I have to say, because he didn't feel that that nonprofits are business, because people think, if you work for a nonprofit, there's no money, there's no profit, and in in the the strict sense of the word nonprofit, nonprofits cannot make profit that is then shared with board members and stakeholders and all of that. But you know, many nonprofit organizations raise millions upon millions of dollars to put into their work. It's just that they have a a mandate from the government to spend it on the programs, on the on the programmatic work. So he wasn't crazy about that, but by that point, he realized his daughter was going to do what she wanted to do in life, and I've never looked back. It has been deeply fulfilling, and I do feel like a lot of nonprofit organizations are real change makers in the world, right? And so, so so it's been deeply fulfilling to me at that level. And you know, the the fundraising part I kind of fell into when I was in DC, people took me under their wings and taught me how to fundraise and and I became development director and VP of development and advancement and all those things, and that's what powers the nonprofit work. So, so I always felt really good about that, yeah. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 13:27 the reality is, of course, that people who really are committed to their nonprofit work into whatever nonprofit organization they are a part of will tell you that it's all about trying to make a difference in the world. It's all about trying to improve the world, whether they specifically are the ones to make a difference, they want to be part of the process that will make the world a better place. And they they do recognize there is money, but they also recognize that the more important thing are maybe the tangibles and possibly the intangibles that go along with making a real difference, right?   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 14:11 Exactly? And it's such a wonderful opportunity to you know, in the in the fundraising part, you know, money comes from individuals, it comes from private foundations, and it also comes from corporate philanthropy. So it was an opportunity to work in partnership with corporations to also make good things happen. Yeah, did   Michael Hingson ** 14:31 all of your work, both in marine biology and just the things that your your dad wanted you to do, in terms of business and so on. Did all of that experience and the terminology that you got to learn, did all that help you? Yes,   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 14:47 absolutely. You know, it's been fascinating to me, Michael, how at every step along my career path, how I've been able to take what I've learned in Marie. In biology in and just, you know, nature studies in general as part of that, getting that degree, not strictly marine environment, but, but, but you know, the natural environment in general, and and everything I've learned in working in nonprofits and in fundraising and all of my varied interests, like even in the arts, I've worked as a as a development consultant with lots of arts organizations, so I've been able to sort of marry all of These what seem like disparate skills and bring them into almost every job I've well, not almost every job I've ever had. So that part has been fascinating to see how interconnected all of those things have been in making it a rich experience and making it a career. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 16:01 well, along the way, your life changed because of some some physical things that happened to you. Why tell us a little bit about that? Because I know that that leads to a lot of the choices that you've made since, and a lot of the things that you've learned   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 16:15 absolutely, you know, I think it's like so many of us in life, disruptions can happen in our lives that set us on a different course or or maybe just we course correct a little bit, or maybe it's dramatic, and in my life, it's been just a little bit of both. I when I was in my 20s, I was diagnosed with autoimmune diseases and severe hereditary spinal diseases. I was always really interested in pursuing complementary medicine, right along with Western medicine, both have helped me enormously, and I was doing just great. I had doctors when I was in my 20s tell me I had the spine of an 80 year old at that point, and that I also would probably end up in a wheelchair by my mid 30s. And I'm thrilled to say that, that I am, that I am not currently, and I'm I'm many   17:12 decades older. I was gonna say you're a lot older than in your 30s. Yes, I am. And so   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 17:17 I've been able to to, to really find a healing path that has helped me to really thrive physically. So that was one part of it, but then I was doing just great. You know, I had had some minor setbacks over the years, especially with my spine disc ruptures and things of that nature that would take, you know, two or three months of being down for the count, and then I'm back, you know, strong and right back at my very, very active life. I've always been, you know, I when I was younger, I was a runner. I've always been a hiker. I love to swim, like, like, an hour at a time, at the at the pool, you know, not just playful swimming, but but serious swimming. And, you know, I played a lot of high impact sports and things, from basketball when I was young to tennis and volleyball and all the things so super active life, and I managed until 2016 when I had, I had gone to visit a client. It was an overnight trip, and it involved several hours in a car each way, and all year long. In 2016 it was a very, very big year. We had had, I had, you know, traveled internationally, my husband and I did a drive all the way up the coast to from Southern California to Oregon. You know, I was serving on three boards of directors. Yes, I was still working more than full time. I had quite a lot going on in my life, and I was getting these subtle, intuitive hits that I really needed to rest my back more. It was very, very painful. And I, I, I practice good self care, you know, I'd rest for a while, and then I'd be right back to my really busy life, right? So the day after this, this trip to the client, I was very excited. I'm standing in the kitchen, telling my husband, as the coffee is brewing, all about the trip, and I get this extraordinarily severe like I've had never had before in my back to the point that I barely made it to the bedroom without falling he had to help me, and I'd had ruptured discs before. This was really different in terms of the intensity of the pain. If the others were a 10, this was like a 20, and I could not move. Once I got laying down flat on my back in bed, I could not move at all, like without just incredible searing pain. And I thought, well. Well, here we are. It's going to take another couple months, maybe three, for this to, you know, resolve. I know I have to really be down for the count now and really rest and you know. So I started just making changes, you know, I knew I had to resign some boards temporarily, I thought. And I talked with doctors and all of that. And come to, you know, fast forward, I was bedridden like that for five years, five years. I wasn't prepared for that, you know, I really thought it was going to be a more or less speedy recovery and and it wasn't like other recoveries, where I could even prop myself up in bed and work from my laptop. I was completely down for the count. Um, it was inoperable. Doctors said it could take anywhere from six months to three years to heal. Maybe you'll be better, and maybe you won't. So I went through that those moments of it may be always like this. It may not get better. I mean, one, one neurosurgeon said you, you may not be able to ever really walk much again. And in the early years of that, I couldn't walk to the bedroom door. So, you know, it was, it was that was depressing. It was, you know, you go down the downward spiral of feelings like and asking all the wrong questions. You know, I was in that place of asking, Why me? Why did this happen to me. You know? What? What Will it always be this way? What if it's never better? What if? What if I am completely reliant on my husband and friends for the rest of my life? You go to that place. It's human nature. And we can't beat ourselves up when these kinds of things happen, and we we tend to, you know, either blame ourselves or go down the dark rabbit hole. But the important thing, as you have talked about so much, and that you and I both know, is that when great challenges happen in our lives, just like when they don't, but magnified when they do. Every moment is a choice. And I realized one day that, you know, I could prop my laptop on my stomach and look for inspiring quotes. And one day I got up, woke up, and I thought, that's what I'm going to do this morning. I'm in a bad place. I started looking for inspiring quotes of people who went through bad stuff, who got through it. And I realized in that moment, it was like a lightning bolt. Every moment I have a choice, I could I could go and just forever live in that dark place, or I can try to find hope and a new purpose in my life. I could choose to be a bitter old, unhappy woman one day. Or I could take a different path, and I start thinking, Well, how would I take that different path? Here I am lying in bed. I can't do anything for myself. What can I do? I began looking at it from the standpoint of not disability, but ability. What is my ability? What can I do? And I actually, with my computer, made a list of everything I couldn't do right? I couldn't I couldn't go for walks. I couldn't swim. I couldn't walk to the kitchen at that point, you know, like I said, I couldn't even get to the bedroom door. I could no longer ride horses, which, which was something I love to do. I, up until that point, had been playing classical flute in our town at least once or twice a weekend. Professionally, I could not even lift up my flute because it twisted my back in a way that was just completely unbearable. So in one column, I made that list of everything, and I said, you know, I can't be on boards of directors anymore, because at that point, you know, that was 2016 2017 we weren't using zoom and other platforms to connect virtually, as we began to do during the pandemic. And so So I made a list of the things that had to go What did I have to completely get rid of? I resigned boards. I cut back on client writing work. And then I looked at all the things I love to do, my flute playing, my art, my photography, and I said, All right, what is a work around here? I can't I can't ride horses. I can sketch horses. I love to sketch. So maybe I'll just lean into that. Something I never did before, that I wasn't sketching or painting horses. I couldn't stand at my easel, but I could. I could sketch. I couldn't play my classical flute. I could play my Native American flute because it didn't twist my spine. I had, you know, Tibetan and Crystal singing bowls, which, which I loved. I had gotten into sound healing years, decade, a couple of decades ago now, for anxiety and relaxation from stress, right? And, and I thought, well, there's something I can do. I'll have my husband bring those things to me, and I'll, I'll do those things. And, what I'm saying is I found new and different things that lit me up, that that gave me joy. And there's a very good reason for doing this first. First what got me to that point unbeknownst to the reason why it's important, which I'll get to in a second. But the what got me to that point, is asking the right questions instead of poor me. Why did this happen to me? It was what if this is an opportunity for me to turn inward more? I've always been a very spiritual person, not necessarily in a religious way, but, but, but spiritual. What if this is an opportunity for me to really lean into that? What if it's an opportunity for me to learn new things and get certified in sound healing and become a Reiki Master? Uh, what if it's an opportunity for me to find a new path in life. What if this is a portal to something new and different, a new and different life purpose? And when I was telling you about all the nonprofit work I did and still do that, I thought that was my ultimate life purpose and and because of of of this massive health challenge, on this healing journey, I've discovered there's more to it than that, sound, healing, energy, healing, um, all of that is, is part of my new   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 27:17 um, expanded Life Purpose, and what I the gifts that I bring to the world. So, so what I'm saying is, you know, when we look at it as our healing journey, as embedded in our life's journey, of course, if we live long enough, we're all going to face health challenges, be they physical, mental, emotional, even spiritual, right? So our healing journey embedded in our life's journey, embedded in our soul's journey, or what we came here to do in the world. And so healing journey becomes a portal. The reason why this is so important, I just finished Michael reading a really fabulous book by a doctor, Dr Jeffrey rediger, I believe his name is. It's called cured, and it is about the medical science behind people who have really rather miraculous feelings. They don't. They don't just the cancers don't go into remission, only they are cured of cancer. He's been following some of these people for decades, and he decided, from from the medical perspective, why do some people have amazing healings and others don't? And many of these people were given two months to live from their particular cancer or other diseases, and decades later, they're still alive and they're thriving. Why is that? And it seems the common denominator throughout his book is not owning the label of your disease as the be all and end all. In other words, I am not my spinal diseases. I am not my autoimmune diseases. I have a purpose in life, and then finding that purpose, living that purpose, living an intentional life that brings you great joy. He told the story of a woman who had two months to live from an extremely aggressive pancreatic cancer, one of the worst cancers, and she spent the weekend with her, with her girlfriends. They went to the beach. They all you know, gave her lots of love and encouragement for what she thought was the final couple of months of her life. Then she decided I am not my cancer, and I am going to just live every day of my life, however short it remains. I'm going to live it full of joy, full of passion. And full of love, and that's what she did. Fast forward over a decade, like close to 15 years later, she ends up in the hospital, same hospital that that, that you know, did all the the testing for the pancreatic cancer and she had appendicitis. She saw the doctors, and they looked at her chart and said, We didn't think you were alive, right? She was. She only had two months to live here. She is nearly 15 years later, alive, and then she began working with the doctor who wrote this book to even explore further why she's still alive. Turns out, living a life of purpose and full of love and support, following your passions is is for many people, what helps them to transcend and have these rather, rather amazing feelings. And so I have, I have been, I was doing that then without knowing that I only read the book a couple months ago. So it's a relatively new, new book out. I, I, I began just sort of following that, and now I'm leaning into it even more, as you can imagine, knowing that's kind of a recipe for thriving, right,   Michael Hingson ** 31:23 right? And well, and I think it's, it's been known in some quarters for quite a while that your mental attitude and your perceptions can dramatically and can totally, I think, actually control how you are, how healthy you are, and so on. Disease is a is really dis ease, but it is as much, if not more, in most cases, mental, than anything else. That doesn't mean that some people aren't going to get a broken arm or something like that, or in your case, you had some very bad back problems. But it also doesn't mean that your mind doesn't have the ability to help you move beyond that, which is what you did   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 32:15 exactly. And you know, in my book, I I dedicate a lot of my book suffering to thriving, to this concept of suffering is a choice, unnecessary suffering. Okay, I'm not, I want to say right up front, I'm not talking about people who are in war torn countries or or in countries where there are terrible, you know, injustices to people. That's a different kind of suffering. I'm talking about the kind of suffering that is in our mind, that we perpetuate with our minds. Suffering is a choice. Unnecessary suffering is a choice. Thriving is a choice. And I write a lot about this in my book, about how we need to make our mind our medicine. And that's not false positivity. You know? It's about training your mind not to go down the negative rabbit hole of the terrible questions of perseverating about all the bad things that can happen. Because, look, life is complicated in our world, bad things happen every day. It's important to find a place within us, that place of stillness where we can live in the moment. And when we sit here like I'm sitting here right now with you, this is a beautiful moment. There are lots of terrible things going on in the world. There are lots of terrible things happening to our planet environmentally. And we can choose to find moments of peace in our lives, that peace, that stillness within that is healing and so, so harnessing the power of that in our lives, every day, every moment, is a choice. We can do something healing or not, and and you and I have talked about this before. You know the Buddhist nun Pema Chodron, who I'm a big fan of, because she is just so plain, speaking about the challenges of daily life. And you know, how do we how do we thrive through, through what's going on in our in our world, even she talks about every moment is a choice between fear versus love. What would fear decide? Fear? Fear goes down that rabbit hole and doesn't come out and just lives in that dark place and we feel sorry for ourselves. It's human to do that. It's human nature to do that in to some degree. But what would love do if we're being loving towards ourselves and the people we're in community with, right people in our lives who we love, I will decide   Michael Hingson ** 34:50 right I would submit that fear isn't necessarily a rabbit hole that we have to go down. That is to say fear is in part physiological and in part mental. That's right, but, but fear is also something where, again, like with most things, we have the choice of how to deal with it. And you know, we've talked about my new book, and I've talked about it here on the podcast, live like a guide dog, which is all about discussing the idea of learning to control fear. Fear can be a very powerful tool in our arsenals. It doesn't necessarily need to be something that overwhelms us, or, as I put it blinds us. The reality is that fear is something that if we learn to use it properly, can make us more aware, more perceptive. It can help our visualizations, and that's what we need to deal with. You said it in a very interesting way a few moments ago, when you talked about living in the moment. The problem with fear is that what we usually learn on this earth, many of us anyway, is that we have to what if everything? What if this happens? Oh, my God, that's horrible. What if that happens? And as several people have written over the years, the problem with most all of our fears is they never come to pass, but we spend so much time dwelling on them that we don't look at what caused them, where they come from, and what good is it going to do for us to continue to dwell on things when all we're doing is making stuff up as we go, but rather to say, Okay, I'm aware of this, and when you go back and study it, ah, that's What caused me to think that way? Okay, I understand that now, and I'm aware of that, and I don't need to worry about that, because I recognize that's just a myth that I'm trying to create when I don't need to do it. Oh,   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 37:16 I love that so much. Michael, that's exactly it. Exactly it. You know, fear, like you said, is it is a an important, an important feeling, because as human beings, you know, think of our, think of our long ago ancestors and and saber tooth tigers like you couldn't be curious about that big cat. You had to be fearful of it, or you could lose your life, right? The problem is today, we're not being chased by by crazy wild animals. Most of us, and we are, we're, we're, we're fearful of things that happen in everyday life, to the point that a lot of people just have this running emotion of fear all the time, what I have found, and I've read a lot about this, and I'm very excited to read your book and learn even more about it from you. I think it's really important to face our fears and to be curious about them. For example, you know, I would be very, very fearful about about certain things. And when I really sat down and faced them and said, What is behind this fear, and then what's behind that?   Michael Hingson ** 38:29 Well, let's go back to the saber tooth. Let's go back to the saber tooth tiger a minute. Um, were we just afraid of the cat, or did we observe and learn and become respectful of it and gave it its space while it may not have cared about our space so much, but we we learned to recognize it and to respect it more than to fear it. Because the problem with fear as such when we let it run rampant, is that we lose our ability to put things in perspective. And I expect that those cave people realized I don't want to tangle with this cat, because now that doesn't mean that there wasn't a level of fear, but again, fear used in the right way leads to better awareness, better observation, being aware of when that cat's around, looking for it, learning more about how to recognize when the cat's there, so that you can avoid it, which doesn't mean that you're not afraid of it, in a sense, but more you're aware of it, and you learn to respect and deal with it. Yeah. On the other hand, I wonder if there are any cave people that ever got to make friends with the saber tooth tiger. You never know.   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 39:48 We never know. Yeah, it could well be. But in regular, you know everyday life now, like often, we'll be afraid, and I can remember this very well in the first couple of years of being. Bedridden. I was afraid of my spine. I was afraid my spine was going to get worse. I was afraid that if I started walking, I might make it worse. And then I sat down one day and I thought, I can't live in fear of my own body. You know, our bodies are so wise. They everything pain, allergies, lives, anxiety, it all tells us something. It's a teacher. And so is fear. Like in the case of a saber tooth tiger, you know it's it teaches us something. So if we can approach fear from the perspective of, okay, why am I afraid of again years ago, walking for fear that my spine would collapse further. Why am i i turning this into a fear of my own body, and then I would be okay? Well, if it happens again, I'm afraid that I'm really going to be a burden on my family. And you go down, you know, that line of inquiry, okay, well, what's behind that, and what's behind that, and that, and, and is that a worthwhile fear to live your life? There you go. And I came to the point where it's like, uh, no, I have to take calculated risks. I'm not going to do anything crazy, but, but let's set small goals for myself and and sure enough, you know now I'm, I'm walking, I'm, I'm I'm able to walk. I'm able to walk a couple of miles, but it began with those baby steps that were full of fear. We have to face that and dig underneath it and and I like anything you know, when you confront it, it takes a lot of the scariness out of it. Actually, can just face the fear, right? Absolutely.   Michael Hingson ** 41:50 What is it that eventually happened to you or because of you, that healed essentially, as much as possible that your spine so that you are able to walk and so on. Now,   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 42:06 yeah, that's a great question. I would love to say it was one thing, but like most things in life, it wasn't. I was. I was doing quite a lot of things. I was I was doing a lot of visualization of walking, I was doing a lot of visualization of going about my regular life. There was a time I couldn't stand in the kitchen and make dinner. I visualized standing in the kitchen and making a cup of coffee, a cup of tea, a dinner. And so I did a lot of work in my mind to and this comes from athletes. You know, elite athletes use visualization to win their games or to win their gold medal, right? So I learned a lot from that. Right visualization really helped. I really did a deep dive of research into supplements that help the body to fight inflammation. I was, you know, my whole life I have, I have been either vegetarian or pescetarian, you know, eating fish and shellfish. I I began to introduce things like, like, like chicken into my diet at one point when I recognized the need for more protein. But it's about listening to your body and what it needs in order to heal, supplementation, Ayurvedic medicine. I saw a naturopath. I just began to explore every single thing. Then after about three years, I was cleared to go to physical therapy. Physical therapy has saved me so many times. You know, from sports injuries. I've had torn menisci in my knees, and, you know, doctors would say, I think you're going to need surgery. And physical therapy helped so much that I've avoided that surgery my entire life. So so when the doctor said it was inoperable because of the way the disc ruptured and glommed onto the sciatic nerve and other disease, spinal disease, problems that were hereditary, they could not operate. I began to look at everything else. I began to look at things like magnet therapy, just Reiki healing energy Reiki is energy healing, sound healing. I had been doing music and sound I had been going to sound baths, mostly for stress, relaxation, mindfulness, all the all the good stuff. But then I began to realize that that sound healing is so much more powerful than even that. I got certified as a sound healer and began just expanding my repertoire of sound healing and energy healing work. And now I mean this, this, this, I think you find fascinating. You know, doctors are incorporating. Sound healing and Reiki energy medicine into their hospitals across the United States and Europe, into hospitals departments of integrative therapies. And last year, when my mom was in the hospital for cancer, that that that major hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, had a department of integrative therapy that worked with the hospital and with hospice to to help people. The science behind it is is being proven by by major major universities all over the country. There's some fascinating work coming out of UCLA here in California, by a researcher who works with medical doctors. The researcher's name is James jimzewski, and he, in collaboration with doctors, have found that the different types of cells in the body, the heart cells, the brain cells, they have their own frequency of hertz, which is simply the measure of vibration of sound. They each have their their own unique vibration. And when cells, if they look in a petri dish of heart cells, to become atrophied or brain cells, they realize that those atrophied cells can be brought back to their normal cellular function by applying those frequencies to the cells so sound reinvigorates them. It holds great promise for the future of medicine. And lots of medical doctors are writing about this. There's a well known oncologist by the name of Dr Mitchell Gaynor, who wrote a wonderful book called The Power of sound healing. And he uses sound therapy himself. He conducts a sound bath for his cancer patients. He believes in it that much right along in compliment with Western medicine, of course, and so I that was one of the things. I really, really, I got certified in sound healing, like I said, I became a Reiki Master, and I began applying those things in my own life when I began doing the sound treatments, in other words, when I was better enough to be out of my completely bedridden state, about three, four years in, I got a gong, and the gong has the widest range, the lowest lows, the highest highs that we can't hear. Many dogs and other animals can hear these sounds, but human ears cannot detect them, but our sound, our cells at the cellular level, pick up on that sound, and I began noticing I'd have really accelerated healing again. It's now been, you know, it's now been, uh, going on. It's been, uh, you know, over seven years, going on eight years that that all of this has been has been healing, but over time, I believe everything is incremental. It's like anything in life. Everything is incremental. You can't go to the gym and lift weights once and have a fit body. You know, you got to keep at it. So applying all of these things. Over the years, I have noticed big changes. So again, to answer your question, it wasn't just one thing. It was a lot of complimentary therapies put together, and then what I call in the book, stick with itness. You know, sticking with it, not just trying it for a short time, really, really incorporating it into my daily self care regimen, right? That's what has made the difference for sure.   Michael Hingson ** 48:49 So here's a question, little bit of a quick question, but you talk about thriving a lot, if you were to and you've talked about unstoppable thriving, how would you distill or what would you say are three major points that lead to being able to be an unstoppable thriver, if you will?   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 49:06 Oh, I love this question so much. Michael, okay, so my book is a toolkit of, like, 36 tools that get us to answer this question. But I'm going to give you my top three, and I think the very first one is, is really deep self care and self compassion. When things like this happen, we tend to think, Okay, I'll take better care of myself. I'll eat right, or I will exercise more, whatever it happens to be in your own situation, there is something called robust self care and robust self compassion that's really about giving your body everything it needs to heal. If you need to sleep 12 hours a night, that's what you've got to do. And and we all say, Oh, I don't have time for that. You know, I got a busy life. I've got a. These other responsibilities and commitments. I don't have time for that, but that's what your body often needs, is that level of of really deep self care and and when things happen to us again, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritual, dark, Night of the Soul, whatever it happens to be, we tend to think of our bodies and ourselves as betraying us, as being the enemy. I hear my clients say this all the time, and there was a point early on when I was like that. It's like my body has betrayed me. How could this happen? I'm young, I've I'm active, you know, I'm doing all the right stuff. From every standpoint, doctors would say you're doing everything exactly right, and yet I had all this stuff going on. We think our bodies betrayed us, but our bodies and this is a wonderful book by Dr Gabor Mate, who writes, When the body says no, our bodies are sending us loving signals of pain. They're telling us when we need to stop doing stuff or cut back or rest. You know, allergies, anxiety, pick, pick anything you know, arrhythmia, pick anything your body is sending you a signal, we have to say. And this has been hard for me, because recently, I've had some a resurgence of some knee problems, and they were pretty debilitating, and we thought I was going to need knee surgery, you know, that I've been avoiding since I was, like, 14 years old. We thought I was really close to it, and it was really hard to say to my knee, oh my goodness, my beautiful hard working me. You have helped me so much in my life. I'm listening to you and doing deep inquiry. What are you trying to tell me? What am I doing wrong here? Right? I needed more rest. I simply needed more rest. I'm thrilled to say that problem over a few months, and with physical therapy and with doing all the right things, I'm back to walking again. I'm walking as much as I did before. So, so it's about, you know, at one point last year, when my mom had multiple myeloma and was in hospital and then hospice, and incredibly stressful time, I started having arrhythmia. I've never had arrhythmia before. I had to, you know, practice what I've been saying in my book and take a deeper dive and say my wonderful, hard working heart. What is up? Why is this happening to me? Right? So, so it's that is, that is self care and self compassion. So that's that's one big piece, and to be able to get into that dialog with ourselves in our very busy, highly interrupted, device driven world, it's hard to slow down and listen. But that brings me to my second point, and that is really listening to what I call our inner healer. Our inner healer is our intuition. It is our gut instinct, if you will, our bodies. And we knew this when we were children, right? We had instincts. We listen to our instincts. If you walk into a room and there's a person and you don't like that person, you don't hang around that person, you try to get away. It could be, you know, a certain food that you didn't like as a kid, you just didn't want to eat it. Right? As we become adults, you know, whether it's societal conditioning or or we have very busy lives, and we just fall into patterns, or whatever. We stop listening so much, and when we get still, hard to find the time, I know, but even 10 minutes of quiet time where we go out in nature, we go for a walk, we just sit quietly in meditation. I've been meditating since my early 20s. I I love meditation. I know. I recognize it's not for everyone. My clients tell me it's not you know for them necessarily. And we find other ways, but, but, but finding something that connects you with yourself, where you can listen to your dreams, where you can listen to your intuition, follow your gut instincts about what feels right for you, if, if something doesn't feel right, don't push yourself to do it and and that is something that I think it can be very, very hard for us in our in our modern age, to slow down enough and do. And I alluded to this the third one earlier, finding our medicine. Nature is medicine, creativity is medicine, as I found sound healing, Reiki, energy, their medicine. What is your medicine to all of our listeners out there? What is your medicine? Do you know what your medicine is? What brings you joy? What makes time fly, where you just don't even realize how much time has has transpired? Those things really, really help us to to find that joyful, happy place where we're in the flow and and, as I mentioned by the book I I referenced cured, that is healing, but also what we what we've been talking about so much, which is your mind is your medicine? How can you harness the power of your mind to heal, whether it's visualizing, telling yourself affirmations, just stopping yourself when you get to the point where you're going down the dark rabbit hole, just saying, Oh, there I go again. Yeah, going to that place. Let me. Let me just stop that and choose something different. Like we said, everything's a choice. Choose something different is making your mind your medicine. Those are my top big three. I mean, the whole the science behind this is, you know, everything in the universe, as Albert Einstein and Tesla Nikola, Tesla told us, and lots of other scientists, everything is energy. Everything vibrates. If everything is energy, our thoughts, our our words, our actions, our feelings, our energy. So choose the good stuff, right? You know, catch yourself when you're when you're, when you're and we look, we all have days, I have them regularly where I find myself getting in a bit of a snarky mood or something, and, you know, things just aren't going quite right, or I'm not feeling quite right, and I go to that bad place, but I quickly say, ah, Kathy, there you go. You're going to that place. What can we choose that would be more positive. That is a choice of energy, and energy is healing? Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 57:06 well, we only have a few minutes, but I have a couple of quick questions for you. Hopefully they're quick. You've talked about sound healing and a sound bath, but not everybody can make it to a place to get a sound bath. How can they deal with sound healing at home?   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 57:23 I love that question, and I can make it brief. Okay, so, so we don't necessarily have to go to a sound bath or a yoga studio to get sound healing. Many things in our lives, our voice. We don't need special equipment. We've got a voice. Right coming singing have been found. DR. DR, Jonathan Goldman has been writing about this for decades, the power of the humble hum. It connects our ear to our vagus nerve, the wandering nerve through our bodies that touches all the organs that controls heartbeat, blood pressure, all the things we never think about, coming and singing are hugely stimulating. That's one thing, percussive tapping on our body. I happen to be a drummer, so I tend to drum. Drum is rhythmic. It's the sound of our mother's heartbeat when when we were in the womb and and it it helps us to settle into a place of of coherence. And so those are just two small things that have very, very big benefit. We can just tap on our, on our, on our, our chest bone, or there's a thing called Emotional Freedom tapping EFT, where you tap on different parts of the body. I have written to make this really brief, Michael, I've written an article about sound healing. I also have another article about your mind is your medicine, and another one about the power of intuition. Three articles in yoga magazine, the people can find for free on my website. And we'll, we'll get later. Yeah, so   Michael Hingson ** 59:04 an observation, and then two quick questions. It's, you know, there's an advantage of having lived on the earth a while and having a memory. I remember when the United States started interacting with China during the Nixon administration. And somewhere on the line, we started to hear about this thing called acupuncture that we had never really heard of before, and a lot of people poo pooted and so on. And now it is a much more common mechanism that is used. It was even used on Roselle, my guide dog who was with me in the World Trade Center when she developed some back problems, and it and it helped. But the reality is, just because it isn't something that goes along with the traditional Western medicine approach, and even my doctor at Kaiser will say this, it doesn't mean that it doesn't work. Work and that it is invaluable, because it is and we really need to to look at all options. Having said that, let me ask you this. You said that you have a free gift for anybody listening. Can you tell us about that? I   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 1:00:17 do? I do. Oh, good. Oh, good. Acupuncture, I would just add, it's much like sound healing. You know, it's been around for 1000s of years.   Michael Hingson ** 1:00:26 It's been around a long time. It's just that we haven't had exposure to it,   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 1:00:30 that's right. And acupuncture was one of the things on my when I said I use very many modalities. I did, I've done a lot of acupuncture over decades. So yes, I'm a big believer in acupuncture, part of why it works is because the same as the chakra system in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, right? These are the energy centers of the body, and they can get blocked. So here's the free gift, Michael, I'm thrilled to be able to offer this to to our listeners today at my website, and we'll link the Earl at the at the very top, you can you can access this for free. Dr Charlize Davis, a doctor of functional medicine, and fellow Reiki master and I, have put together a few modules called Healing the heart chakra. And she comes from the medical perspective of saying, when your heart chakra is blocked, what does that turn up with? As in your, in your, in your health, you know, sure, the heart, of course, the lungs, yeah. But shoulders, shoulder issues, all kinds of things. And she goes into this in great detail. And then I come at it from the perspective of what we were just talking about, the chakra, what a blocked heart chakra feels like. What is happening in your life that that would tell you that your heart chakra is is blocked. It's more than just, I don't feel love. I mean, that's a common thing, but there's, it's way more than that. And then the best part of the free gift you'll learn about all of these things. And then the best part, I think, is that I do a sound bath geared toward balancing and opening the heart chakra, and I also give Reiki energy during that. And Dr Charlize, as a as a Reiki Master, also gives Reiki energy throughout the sound bath as well. So it's really powerful.   Michael Hingson ** 1:02:26 There's a link to all of that on there's a link to that all on the website.   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 1:02:29 It's at the very top of the website. So tell us   Michael Hingson ** 1:02:33 your tell us what your website is and how people can reach out to you. Because I'm assuming that you you do interact with people all over   Kathy Harmon-Luber ** 1:02:41 I do. I do sound baths. I do individualized sound baths, which target to your very specific issues. So how do people reach out to you? My website is suffering to thriving.com. And there they can. They can reach out to me. They can learn more about my work. They can look at my book, suffering to thriving. They also can connect with all of my social media, and they can access how to work with me and email me from that place as well. So it's all right there at the website, on the home page, at the bottom, there are more podcasts and articles, lots of free article content too, if anyone's interested in exploring this at a deeper level, so suffering   Michael Hingson ** 1:03:25 to thriving.com.

✨ Immerse yourself in the transformative power of sound with Andi & Jonathan Goldman: Sacred Sounds & Vibrational Healing!

In today's enlightening episode, we welcome Jonathan Goldman, a pioneer in the field of sound healing. Jonathan's journey into the world of sound began in the late 1970s, playing rock and roll in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. An epiphany struck him as he observed the negative atmosphere his music contributed to in a club. This realization led him to explore the potential of sound not just to create moods but to heal. Jonathan shares, "The power of the music has to do not only with the frequencies and the sounds but also the energy that is encoded in it. Music and Sound is a carrier of our consciousness." Throughout our conversation, Jonathan delves into the profound connection between sound, frequency, and healing. He introduces us to the concept that everything in the universe is vibration, a notion shared by ancient mystics and modern quantum physicists alike. This understanding forms the foundation of sound healing, which Jonathan has spent decades mastering. Jonathan recounts his early days of sound healing, highlighting the importance of intention. "Frequency plus intent equals healing," he explains. This principle, he discovered, is essential in creating the desired therapeutic effects through sound. He emphasizes that the intention behind the sound is just as critical as the sound itself, a belief reinforced by his extensive research and practice. One of the most intriguing aspects of our discussion is Jonathan's explanation of psychoacoustics and vibroacoustics. While psychoacoustics involves sound affecting the brain and nervous system through the ears, vibroacoustics entails sound penetrating the body at a cellular level, affecting everything from molecules to DNA. This dual approach to sound therapy illustrates the extensive reach of sound's healing potential. We also explore the role of silence in sound healing. "Silence is golden," Jonathan asserts, describing it as the yin to sound's yang. In silence, true shifts and changes occur, allowing the body and mind to integrate and resonate with the healing frequencies. In our conversation, Jonathan Goldman reminds us of the ancient wisdom embedded in sound, urging us to harness this knowledge for healing ourselves and the planet. His insights into the therapeutic power of the hum, a simple yet profound practice, provide a tangible tool for anyone seeking to reduce stress and enhance well-being.Please enjoy my conversation with Jonathan Goldman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

When I'm going over the equator, I listen to Jonathan Goldman's Chakra tuner so I don't get jetlag. Back into my New Zealand life, it's time to compartmentalize. I've got conferences, events, and a Repotted retreat coming up and it's time to start thinking about Christmas!

Denne uken har vi gleden av å gi dere en alldeles nydelig sommergave med "Sound Healing". For flere år siden da Monica bodde i California ble hun kjent med David Kennet, og fikk snakke med ham og oppleve ham LIVE i saltgrottene i Santa Barbara. Senere inviterte vi ham til Norge for å holde Sound Healing retreats hos oss på Core Balance, og entusiasmen var stor og flere booket private sessions med ham!I dag deler han med oss en eksklusiv reise der du kan nyte en healing stund for deg selv. Lydhealing er en eldgammel velværepraksis for healing, avslapning, omsorg for deg selv og egenpleie.David inviterer deg til å legge deg ned i en koselig og behagelig omgivelse, lukke øynene og fokusere på lydene han har designet for denne opplevelsen. Du vil oppleve musikkinstrumenter som klokkespill, gongonger, sangboller og Davids vakre stemme. En reise innover som du kan benytte så ofte og så mye du vil. Han bruker stemmen sin, trommer, fløyte og tibetanske lydboller. Når David utfører en «seremoni» overfører han vibrasjoner til oss som hjelper oss å oppnå dypere kontakt med hjertet og smelte bort uro, begrensninger og hindringer.David Kennet er basert i New York City. Han er musiker, stemmecoach, registrert holistisk helseveileder og sertifisert massasjeterapeut. Gjennom hele barndommen led David selv av alvorlig, livstruende kronisk astma. Like etter at han begynte å synge regelmessig i begynnelsen av 20-årene, helbredet imidlertid astmaen hans fullstendig. Som 21-åring debuterte David på Lincoln Center i New York City med den internasjonalt anerkjente a cappella-gruppen Star-Scape Singers. Han har opptrådt og tilbudt workshops over hele Europa, Russland, Midtøsten, Kina og Sør-Amerika. David har vært omtalt på MTVs «The Hills» og NBCs «The Today Show». Han deler over 25 års erfaring med å bruke den "åpne stemmen" og er en protesje av den avdøde kanadiske metafysikeren Kenneth G. Mills. David studerte også med lydhealerne Tom Kenyon, Jonathan Goldman og er medlem av Sound Healers Association. David har forelest om praktisk anvendelse av lydterapi ved University of Santa Barbara California, Antioch University, Bastyr University, og har tilbudt lydmeditasjoner for det amerikanske flyvåpenet og for Four Seasons-hotellene på Maldivene.

Glad you dropped by we're happy to meet you and to have you here with us. **Michael Hingson ** 01:21 Well, welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. Here we are once again. And it's always fun to be here. I love interviewing and and conversing more than interviewing with lots of different people. And today we have Sharon Carne as our guest, who is the founder of sound wellness and one of the cofounders of the sound wellness Institute. She's going to tell us more about that. She's going to talk about things I've known for a while that is the truth of how sound can affect us and does affect us. But she's going to be the one to talk about that because she's the expert, of course. So anyway, we will get to that. But I want to first welcome you, Sharon. Thank you for joining us here on unstoppable mindset. **Sharon Carne ** 02:06 Thank you so much, Michael, what a delight to be here to be able to share a little bit about sound. Well, **Michael Hingson ** 02:14 that is, of course a lot of what podcasts are all about and and hopefully we can make it all sound reasonably decent as it were. But why don't we start maybe by you telling us about kind of the early Sheeran growing up in some of those kinds of things to sort of set the stage for what we're going to do later. **Sharon Carne ** 02:30 Oh my goodness, I've had music in my life all my life as long as I can remember Michael, and it probably from my mom singing. We used to my dad was in the armed forces here in Canada radar technician. So we traveled long distances in the summer to go visit family and mom would sing all the way across the country. And we had our favorite songs. And then that led to singing and choirs sang in church choirs, school choirs, as long as I can remember, oh, one day when I was or at Christmas time when I was 16 years old, there was a guitar under the Christmas tree. And from having grown ups, mostly singing, playing a little bit of recorder, that guitar was such a fun thing. Oh my gosh, we were so lucky. We had a guitar teacher half a block away. And so I signed up for lessons right away. He just happened to be a classical guitar teacher. And so he started me on that and inspired me with every single lesson was playing recordings of some of the masters and classical guitar and I just fell in love with it. Totally fell in love with it. And it's interesting how sometimes you dropped something as you get focused on something else when I went off to university, and it came back in a big way later. **Michael Hingson ** 04:04 I I know exactly the kind of thing that you're talking about. We moved to California when I was five. And it was the first trip I really remember although I think we've probably we probably did some driving around before then. But my dad liked to sing and he was a fan of Old Country and Western songs. I mean, we're talking about back in the country western days have 40s and 50s and so on. And he even yodels a little bit. So he's saying a lot. And we we got to enjoy that and always loved it when as he was driving, he would sing. And then he he also did have a guitar. He had an old Martin grand concert guitar from 1940. He got it by training something for it and I actually still have it. But he would occasionally get it out and play so I know what you're talking about. I know the excitement and the feeling that you had **Sharon Carne ** 05:01 Oh, what a beautiful thing to have still Michael, my goodness, great memories. **Michael Hingson ** 05:07 It's in the guitar is an incredibly rich sounding guitar. Of course it's it's not an electric guitar at all. But the sound is just very rich. It's a very full bodied sounding guitar. It's a lot of fun. Anyway, so you took lessons and you, you said that it came back to to be something good for you later on. Hmm. **Sharon Carne ** 05:33 It did. And so and in a way that wasn't quite expected to because I went off to university, and I did well in high school in sciences and maths. So majored in in math and sciences at university and it did not go well. It did not go well. So I, I left university after the first year in registered in Teachers College at the time, and did one year at Teachers College and ended up teaching in a tiny town in northern Ontario. And the love of music continued there by joining the Town Choir, there was an amazing music teacher in our tiny town, we put on shows, we did concerts all around the area. And my interest in the guitar, which had been put away for a few years while I was doing this, at least two years, came back again. And part of my finishing my degree at university, I took summer courses. And in the second summer course I signed up for a music history course. And oh my goodness, it lit a fire under me like nothing I've ever experienced before. So I went into the professor at one of the professors at the end of that course. And I said, What do I have to do to get into this university as a music major. And so he told me, I needed this level of playing, and I needed this level of music theory. And I said, okay, and off I went. It took me two years, but I got entrance requirements to the university to get in as a music major. not expected. It was such a fascinating, fascinating fire. That was the passion that was that was lit at that time. I just had to continue. **Michael Hingson ** 07:30 So what did you have to do? You miss mentioned the level of playing what does that mean? **Sharon Carne ** 07:38 Well, in Canada, they have an examination system through the Royal Conservatory in Toronto. And so I needed to play I needed to have an exam at the grade eight level at the time, along with the the theory that was required music theory that was required for that level. And I had had a year and a half of guitar lessons. So it was it was an accomplishment to to find a teacher from. And I was teaching in a tiny town in northern Northern Ontario, the closest teacher who could teach me at that level was an eight hour drive away. And so and I had no car, so I called him up and I said, I have to take lessons with you. I need a grade eight, in in classical guitar and what's involved in so I was teaching public school and in this tiny town, so on Friday night, I'd help on the bus and be on the bus all night, get to the city where the guitar teacher lived, have my lesson that morning, hang around the bus station the rest of the day. I'd take the bus all night to the back home again on on Saturday night. And I did that for two years. And after two years, I did the exam and got my grade eight and all the theory required. So **Michael Hingson ** 09:11 what does it mean though from a playing standpoint, to have a great eight What did what did you have to play or what did you have to show through guitar playing? **Sharon Carne ** 09:20 It's it's probably a concert level to play pieces that are that are complicated enough to be able to sit in a theater and play a concert on the classical guitar at the beginning stages of that. **Michael Hingson ** 09:41 Once you did it, **Sharon Carne ** 09:43 I did it. I could not not do it. It was there was no there was no question. It was something I I had to do. I had to get in to the university and get a music degree. I just I'm not. It was a drive that I couldn't exist. lane? **Michael Hingson ** 10:02 Well, but it was your drive. And that's what what really matters with a lot of commitment to take a bus all night and then do your lessons and then wait for the bus to return. So while you're waiting at the bus station, did you play the guitar? **Sharon Carne ** 10:15 No, no. I don't remember do I know. I didn't practice? No, I didn't practice there I practice at home, there was a confidence level to because I was on an extremely accelerated study path to get to that level in two years. **Michael Hingson ** 10:37 So he packed a lot into each of your your lessons, obviously. Mm hmm. That's cool. So then you got into the University? And how long were you there? **Sharon Carne ** 10:52 Yeah, I will. I was there for three years, because I had already had one year of university, I could use those courses as my arts and science options. So I completed the rest of the music degree. It's a four year degree in those three years. And, and then it just felt like, there was so much more to learn. So I applied for a master's degree at two universities, and was accepted at both one of them in London, Ontario, and the other one in Minneapolis. So I went to Minneapolis, and did a two year master's degree after that. And then it kind of felt like I had a good grounding. I had such acceleration, that it felt like there was a lot of catch up to do. Also, after I got my entrance requirements anyway. **Michael Hingson ** 11:44 What made you decide to go to Minneapolis as opposed to London, Ontario, **Sharon Carne ** 11:49 the university in London, Ontario was mostly a music history degree and I loved music history, but I wanted to learn how to play the guitar better. And Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota there, they had a guitar teacher and an option to focus on performing, which is what I wanted to develop more skill in. So I did that. **Michael Hingson ** 12:14 So was it all classical? Or did you branch out into other kinds of music at all, **Sharon Carne ** 12:20 it was all classical. **Michael Hingson ** 12:23 Which is probably not too surprising. That'd be the sort of level or orientation that that music degrees in would take and so on that they want you to really get the classical part of it and, and get all the challenges and nuances, because they're probably a lot more in from a guitar standpoint, nuances and, and sophisticated things to learn then going into more of the modern music, which isn't necessarily as much guitar being out in front as the only thing as with classical music, I would assume. **Sharon Carne ** 13:03 There are certainly skills of nuances in a group and in popular music, however you write about it with the guitar and being the only performer at least when I hit solo, where that there was a lot of a lot of skill and nuance for sure. **Michael Hingson ** 13:18 So when did you graduate with your music degree? What year was that? **Sharon Carne ** 13:23 It was 90 Well, in the from Queens, I graduated in 1977. And then from the University of Minnesota in 1979. **Michael Hingson ** 13:34 Okay, so you are now a master's degree holder and dealing with music. And you play the guitar pretty well. So then what? **Sharon Carne ** 13:47 Well, I returned to Alberta, Canada, where I got a part time job at the college. They're teaching music teaching guitar as a start for what to do next, because I wasn't quite sure. And, and when when I was I taught at Red Deer college for two years. And in the meantime, I met my husband, and we got married, and he immediately got transferred to Houston. So it kind of ended my opportunity to teach it read your college and we ended up in Houston for about three and a half years. **Michael Hingson ** 14:30 Wow. So what was he doing at the time that took you to Houston? **Sharon Carne ** 14:37 Well, he was in the oil business, an engineer and so he was transferred there to do testing on oilfield equipment and quality kinds of things. So he's an engineer, so got into that field. And because I didn't have a visa to work in the United States. I we had our two children there In Houston, we have two boys. And I learned how to play another instrument called the lute, which was great fun, so it was filled with kids and lute playing. **Michael Hingson ** 15:13 Did you do much guitar playing? **Sharon Carne ** 15:17 I did some with what with a baby. And then with the second child who came along just before we move back to Canada, it what I did I did some guitar playing. And then also the lute. Hmm. Wow. **Michael Hingson ** 15:35 Two different instruments indeed, though. Well, **Sharon Carne ** 15:37 I think the Luton part was was healing for me, because I had started taking it when we got down there, there was a great loot teacher and I found someone who would make me a left handed load, I play left handed. So I had to have the instrument specially made. And my father passed away after we were down there for about a year. And I couldn't play my guitar. I couldn't play it. So what I did is I played the lute, and learned more. Well played it more became more proficient on the lute. And doing that for the next probably nine to 12 months. Michael was really healing for my heart, and then I could pick up the guitar again. **Michael Hingson ** 16:29 Well, so you, you had three and a half years in Houston, then you move back to Canada back to Alberta. Uh huh. And then what did you do? **Sharon Carne ** 16:42 Well, we moved, we moved into Calgary, Alberta. And after the kids were a little bit older, about a year after we moved here, and we're still in the same house in Calgary, I applied, or I was asked actually to join the faculty of Mount Royal University. They didn't have any guitar teachers there that specialized in teaching young children. So I ended up there for almost 30 years, and teaching all ages from three years old up to in their 70s and really had a very fulfilling career with with doing something I really, really loved. **Michael Hingson ** 17:25 You said you did that for 30 years. **Sharon Carne ** 17:29 At Yeah. And then sound wellness came along. And it was a gradual shift into what I was doing now. And that was a bit of a surprise to wasn't something I hadn't expected. So it kind of it it started to grow. During my last five or so years of teaching at the Conservatory. **Michael Hingson ** 17:55 Well, tell me a little bit more about that, if you will, the what, what started that whole thing, and what was the overall eventual cost for the shift? **Sharon Carne ** 18:06 Oh, gosh, it probably started with, with innocent experiments. So teaching, teaching adult students, I had a group about eight, six or eight students at the time, who wanted to gain more confidence in performing so I, I ordered every book on stage fright that I could find and read them all and picked a whole pile of exercises that we could experiment, I called a coffee shop, to coffee shops in town and organize informal evening performances for everybody. And also art galleries. If they wanted music for the opening of an art show. It's another great opportunity, low pressure for people to just sit in and play background music. So we tried out a bunch of the exercises. And we found out that one of the ones that worked the best was imagining a color while we were performing. And the weird thing about it was that every time we did it, at least one person in the audience would get the color. I'll never forget that. I gave one concert in, in a town during this time we were exploring near here. And I chose one piece on the program to practice imagining the color with and this woman came up to me after the concert and she pointed to that piece on the program. She said Sharon, this piece was so beautiful. It reminded me of sitting by the ocean. The color was so blue. And I thought okay, this is no longer a coincidence. It had happened too many times. So I started really By doing my own research and asking questions like, What is it about sound that makes it a carrier for the lot? And of course, emotion? And what is it? That that? What how can it do that. So I got all kinds of books in the library ordered books and ended up studying with two of the pioneers in in America in sound healing a few years after that grant, so it's a gradual transition from what I was doing to how the interest in sound healing was really sparked. **Michael Hingson ** 20:40 Well, love to hear more about that in terms of what it is what it does, and, and just your journey about all that. **Sharon Carne ** 20:52 Well, sound healing is it's, oh, gosh, it's exploding all over the world. And they're still, it's still in a way being defined. As far as probably where it sits now is it's a modality. It's related to using the voice or frequency or sound tools like singing bowls, or music in order to stimulate a healing response in the body. And so it it is fascinating modality because of the wide variety of tools that can be used in order to stimulate that. And there's the at the time when I was becoming interested in sound healing, there weren't a lot of people teaching it. I did find Jonathan Goldman's with his intensive workshops, the where I attended, probably 20 years ago now. And and then studied with Tom Kenyon in Seattle, who is a psychotherapist who developed a technique for working with the voice and releasing emotional energy to stimulate that beautiful healing energy of the body. And it it was something that that fascinated me so much having spent a lifetime in sound, I had never really thought how powerful a tool it is to support the body in healing. **Michael Hingson ** 22:26 So when you talk about sound healing, and I think there's a fair amount today of accepted science that it can help or cause different kinds of reactions in the body but what what does it heal **Sharon Carne ** 22:48 well, I like to call sound food for the nervous system, and like junk food and good food and super food that we had junk sound that stimulates the release of stress hormones from the nervous system which the which increases the the, I guess, disease loader or stress load on the body, which can create disease and discomfort. The Good Food are things like major sounds that can help the body just go into the relaxation response that so many people need. There are there are several so many hormones that are released by the brain in the nervous system every time we experience sound and music, and four of them at least our our immune system boosters, then there's oxytocin, the bonding hormone, that one if for those people who love going to hockey games and football games when everybody's singing, we will we will rock you in in the stands for to support their favorite team that stimulates oxytocin which binds all the fans together along with the team and others dopamine and serotonin there's all kinds of neuro neurotransmitters that are stimulated from sound that that then go into the tissues of the body and stimulate that healing response depending where the intention is focused to. **Michael Hingson ** 24:19 And when you talk about sound healing, you're talking about real physical healing. It isn't just a mental thing necessarily but real physical healing. **Sharon Carne ** 24:33 Yes, there I can share a story of one of our calls where we have monthly calls for our practitioners and on this one call the topic was how to come up with a series of tuning fork sounds so we were studying tuning forks in that course and to support reducing pain or or helping you something to to heal and carry one of the practitioners had just had a rotator cuff injury that day, she had been to see her physiotherapist in, she described her pain level as a level nine out of 10. So very high pain level. And she was really uncomfortable on the call. So her question was how, how can I create a series? The wish was a topic? How do I create a series of tuning fork sounds? So I said, Carrie, how about we create a series of sounds to reduce the pain in your shoulder. So she, she recommended four different sounds that she felt would help her shoulder reduce pain. And what I did is I pointed the tuning fork, so we were all online. So I pointed the tuning forks to her shoulder, I pointed them to her image on the Zoom screen. And so we worked with the first one and then the second one. And she said, Well, the pain is probably about a level five. Now, when we completed me just pointing the tuning forks to her image on the Zoom screen is her pain level is down to a to two to three. And it didn't it got better over the next couple of days. She went to see her physiotherapist the next day. And she told me in a message after that appointment that her physiotherapist didn't see how that was possible that the pain can be reduced that much with with tuning forks, pointing them at hearing the sound and then pointing them to the person on to her shoulder on the screen. It was remarkable. And something that surprised me too, because I hadn't, I hadn't had the experience that powerful of using a tool I usually use with a person on their body to help reduce pain or bring more blood flow, those kinds of things. And yet it worked online. It was fascinating experience. **Michael Hingson ** 27:05 Well, so that is in well, it's incredibly fascinating because you did it online. And I'm trying to think of the physics of it a little bit, pointing your tuning fork to the image, I guess, might to some degree, help focus the sound, but her image wasn't where the sound was coming from or starting from. So she had to take something in, within herself that also had to help that process, I would think **Sharon Carne ** 27:44 very much so she was directing the sound to her shoulder. There were there were a few other on the call at the same time who held the intention of reducing pain because the goal was to reduce pain. **Michael Hingson ** 27:59 Right. And so it wasn't just you producing the sound, but the listeners hearing that sound and directing it where they they wanted it or knew what had to go. That that makes some sense to be able to say, I'm directing the healing energy that I can feel to where I want it to go. Hmm, well, that is still pretty amazing. But it makes a little bit more sense. It isn't just the sound, as you can imagine, and as we all can imagine, it's also the mental commitment and the mental focusing that goes along with it. I wonder how much different it would have been if she had been in the room with you? **Sharon Carne ** 28:42 That would be that was? That's a really good question. **Michael Hingson ** 28:46 Yeah, how would you how would you project that that would have gone or have you ever had any examples similar where you actually worked with someone in the same room? **Sharon Carne ** 28:57 Well, I've worked with clients in the same room with tuning forks and the singing the large singing bowls on the body. And it works pretty well the same way from what I've seen. And with with the tuning for hip pain, for example, with someone with with difficulty in moving, moving a joint or a pain or around either in the joint with where bones are rubbing together, there are always tissues around the joint that are compensating. So the tuning fork would be used in all of the connective tissue around the joint in order to help release the tension in the muscles and and then to reduce the pain that way and and then on the other side to the other side of the body, which often compensates. But the online is was so fascinating because it didn't have those elements of having the fork actually on the body and feeling the vibration of that sound going through the muscles in the tissue. Shoes? **Michael Hingson ** 30:00 Well, or at least to a much lesser degree, the sound actually approached her hit the body because there was still a speaker and the sound was still there. But she was focusing it, which I'm sure had a lot to do with it as well. And she wanted to make it happen. And she did. Yeah, yeah. Which is, which is pretty cool. Well, so when did you actually end up leaving teaching and go full time into sound wellness and, and then eventually, I assume eventually, but starting the sound wellness Institute. **Sharon Carne ** 30:38 That was a gradual journey to and it was it was probably sparked with a phone call that came from out of the blue Michael, I while I was still teaching at Mount Royal, I had finished my training with Goldman and Tom Kenyon, and had returned back to the conservatory, and I got a call from the director of the Integrative Health Institute at the University. And she said, Sharon, I hear you are into sound therapy. I said, yeah, it's been a very kind of my own private research topic for many years by then and fascinated with it. And she said, Well, I'd like to have you create a program to using sound therapy as intervention in the study on stress that we're sponsoring this year. And so I was delighted to take part in that I created the program. And it was so successful working with the people in my group that I created some wellness about a month after that, and that was in 2008, is when I did that. I left the Conservatory, I gradually my hours were becoming less and less with teaching music, and, and with sound wellness was becoming more and more so in 2016, I finally retired from the Conservatory, and focused on sound wellness, exclusively after that, **Michael Hingson ** 32:12 wow. Well, it's always exciting and a challenge and an adventure to go off and start to do something really on your own. **Sharon Carne ** 32:22 Hmm. There was another complicated Well, I guess another kind of events that were happening in our personal lives at the same time, is we went through eight years during those eight years of starting sound wellness of end of life care for both of its parents, and then my sister, one after the other. So it was it was a challenge sometimes to make sure that there was the there were our priority, and then still bringing some energy to sound wellness to help it grow. And it's interesting how, how these these things kind of happened together. And we were grateful to be able to support mom and dad and then my sister throughout that journey too. **Michael Hingson ** 33:22 Were you able to use any of what you learned with sound wellness or sound healing to help them and work with them at all? **Sharon Carne ** 33:30 We did and we're not quite as much with mom. She suffered a massive stroke and ended up on extended care. So it was a little harder there with dad. Mom was the first to pass away and when dad one of the things that we did with Dad is bring him to one of our courses. And he fell in love with the seeing bowls. And so we bought him a crystal bowl. He couldn't play the Tibetan bowls because he was shaky. He was 91 when he came to our course. And so he his hand was a bit shaky when he was trying to play the Tibetan bowl so the stick would Clank on the bowl. And so we bought him a crystal bowl in a strong base so it wouldn't tip over. And it has a saw a softer stick and an easier way to make the sound. So he said he played that every day before he went to bed and it helped him sleep better. So he loved that. And my sister had cancer and with her I would bring the she had tuning forks with her all the time to help with stimulating her immune system. And then I would come over especially after chemo and play the crystal bowls and it should that would help her pain level enormously and her discomfort level right after chemo. **Michael Hingson ** 34:54 Tell me a little bit more about the singing bowls if you would, please **Sharon Carne ** 35:00 Oh the singing bowls are there's two different kinds. There's what are called Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls, which are metal and the old bowls and the handmade bowls have a lot of wavering sounds to them and a lot of different frequency levels. And so they are several things they do all those low wavering sounds when the bowl is on the body helps to release muscle tension. We teach a lot of massage therapists how to use the bowls on the body because that makes it easier for or less work for their hands and their arms to massage tissue. The bowl does a lot of that. And then the crystal bowls have more of a pure sound and one or two frequencies only not as many overtones and wavering sounds as the Tibetan bowls do. And Crystal works with intention in a more powerful way I find personally then the Tibetan bowls Do I have an old Tibetan bowl beside me here Michael? If you'd like to hear it, I can play it **Michael Hingson ** 36:10 I would love to if you don't mind that would be great. Please bring **Sharon Carne ** 36:14 bring it over a friend of mine nickname this incredible it's about 16 inch it's about 16 inches across and it could be several 100 years old who has a lot of beautiful sounds so here's how this **Michael Hingson ** 36:33 how deepest the bowl or how **Sharon Carne ** 36:41 we it probably goes down to I don't have Edie measured at all on his oscilloscope Pat program on the computer. It probably goes down into 20 hertz 30 **Michael Hingson ** 36:53 No, I mean but physic physically you said is 16 inches across but how deep is it from top to bottom? **Sharon Carne ** 36:58 Oh go deep from top to bottom. Hmm, probably about seven inches. All right, it has around the bottom so a little tricky. Yeah. Okay. Okay, go ready for the sound? Yes, please. Okay, here it is **Michael Hingson ** 37:22 Wow, okay. **Sharon Carne ** 37:24 I need to I need to put on original sound here to take There we go. So if I can tap it again then just give more in sounds because zoom has a setting for sound that I didn't have on yet. Okay, so here we go **Sharon Carne ** 38:00 it'll go on and on and on it will **Michael Hingson ** 38:02 so several reactions one going back to the person with the sore shoulder I can see how even though it was online the richness of the tone in your right when you change the zoom setting it made all the difference in the world but how that coming through the speaker could especially depending on the microphone but still be something that would be very usable online because the the the audio was a very full rich tone from lows to highs as you said Ed, I'm sure measured it with an oscilloscope that gave a spectrum there but I bet somebody who was in a remote place would get a pretty good range as well again, it's always a question of how good the microphone is but you seem to have a pretty good microphone there. **Sharon Carne ** 39:04 Yeah, we invested in in a good quality microphone because I work with sound online and one of the things I wasn't quite sure about Michael is I started doing sound baths online sound bath this is a an experience with several different bowls and sounds and to a group of people and I've played with doing them online for about a year before I started doing them more regularly, and it blows me away hearing the response from people and how effective they are online. I've done many of these events in person so they're they're powerful in person and I wasn't sure about online but after the experience with carry on the the feedback from the people who've been attending the online sound baths, I'm I'm still in awe for the response it creates Send people. **Michael Hingson ** 40:01 Again, as I think about it, I guess I'm not too amazed because you've got a good audio source that is collecting the sound. And that's got to have a lot to do with it. Because if you don't have good audio, then you won't produce good audio at the other end, but you clearly do. But still, it is kind of wonderful that you're able to do this virtually as well as work with people in a in a specific physical location. What? How does how does sound healing actually heal? I know you talked about re producing or releasing different kinds of chemical reactions in in the body is that mainly what it is? Or are there other nuances to the whole concept of sound healing? **Sharon Carne ** 40:54 Well, it it stimulates the nervous system to release hormones and neurotransmitters that support the healing of the body's own way of healing. Also for for the large bulls that using them on the body helps to release muscle tension, which releases emotional energy that sitting in the muscles and releases the muscles themselves. And, and I like to to, to also say that sound doesn't really heal by itself, it stimulates the natural healing ability of the body, because the body knows how to do that. And so it because sound is felt in every molecule in every cell, then it It stimulates the body in so many different ways in so many different levels. **Michael Hingson ** 41:47 And that is kind of what I was getting to so it's you know, because it's not a magical thing at all. But it is a part of the whole process. And I think as I've said, we've known about the concept that people react to sound and have reacted to sound in various ways, for a long time, and we've known it, but it's great to see that it's being used in such a wonderful way to help heal. Will most anyone react to the sound that you just did with that old Tibetan bowl? Or do different people react differently to different bowls that I assume have different kinds of sounds? **Sharon Carne ** 42:27 Absolutely, we all respond to sound we can't not respond to sound, but we all respond uniquely. And it could be that that that sound of that bowl, several people wouldn't be able to, wouldn't be able to stand it at all. And one of the things we found with with sharing sound, and options, different options you can use to stimulate that healing with groups of people. And one of the things that's so fascinating is that one person will say, Oh my gosh, that feels so good. I relaxed, my heart beats down, I feel so much better. And the person beside them was ready to leave the room because it graded them so much. They couldn't stand the sound. And the person beside them would have well it was so so I didn't like it as much as she did when not I didn't hate it as much as he did. But so it's it's so unique. And that's the part that's fascinating is we all respond to sound and many of us have our own intuitive ways. The music we love to listen to, that helps us to feel better, is an intuitive way because we respond we know how we respond to that. And part of branching out into other types of sound is to explore how it makes you feel because it's different for everybody. **Michael Hingson ** 43:48 So clearly everyone is sort of, in a sense differently wired for sound although we're all wired for sound in one way or another so as you said different people are going to react to different bowls or to different techniques or different I guess it's fair to use the word technologies that you use to produce sounds when you when you played the bowl. Did you just tap the bowl with a stick or with some something? Is that what you need to do or? **Sharon Carne ** 44:16 Yes, I have a gong mallet that has a felt head on and love to tap the mole with that. It because when you tap the ball with a gong mallet, the ball responds almost like a gong. It comes it it plays all soba at so many different frequency ranges from really low frequencies to high overtones. **Michael Hingson ** 44:36 Yeah. And also, it's it's easier on the bowl as well. You're not using some hard stick that can damage it over time. **Sharon Carne ** 44:48 For sure, yes. **Michael Hingson ** 44:52 Well tell me. So this kind of brings up something that you just mentioned brings I'm so different people like different kinds of musics and so on. And obviously, the sounds that we hear, can and do in one way or another stimulate our health. We all like different kinds of music. And I think there are some of us I'm and I'm one of them feels that there are some kinds of music that are just a lot of noise. And they're very loud. And they're very obtrusive. And it's not what I like in music, but I'm assuming that you would say, but for some people, those are okay, or is there? Is there some sort of music that really is just kind of not good at all? That it's, it's just too jumbled and doesn't really help? Or is that a fair thing to say? **Sharon Carne ** 45:46 It's a fair thing to say, Michael and, and this, this one, I can share a story about our son, our younger son, and he is a heavy metal fan. And Ed and I are not heavy metal. **Michael Hingson ** 46:01 I'm not either. And they're just a Frank Zappa. But anyway, **Sharon Carne ** 46:09 I know, when he would buy, buy a record in those days, they were there were records or CDs, I think we're just coming out. Anyway, I have to always check the words, he always chose bands that had positive messages. Fortunately, some of them do not. And when he was 16, he went into a clinical depression. And we took him to the doctor, the doctor gave him medication, which he took one of and said, Mom, I don't like the way I am on this medication, I'm gonna throw it all out. So I said, Okay. And what he did to heal himself, of that depression, was he when he would come home from school frustrated or angry, or whatever mood he was in, he'd run up to his room, slam the door, like a lot of teenagers do. And then he would put on his music, angry music really loud. And so Ed and I had to plug our ears and let him do that. After a few months, he he will, even after just listening to 20 minutes of that 15 minutes of that he was feeling better it for him for him, and helped him to process that out of his system. And with some people, it increases that, which is not a good thing. For for Matt, it helped him process that and it helped to heal him. And so I don't I pause when it comes to making a judgement about a music like that. Because for Matt, I know, it was very much a part of his healing. Well, **Michael Hingson ** 47:47 and that's why I asked the question, because different people like different music. And what I was curious about is basically what you said that doesn't mean that that music can't be helpful or be good for them. Although turning some of that heavy metal music, very loud. Must have some effect on the eardrums after a while to. **Sharon Carne ** 48:11 Oh, yes. Yellow. Yes. And that's where safety comes in. Because yeah, yeah. I industry says that it sustained sound in the work environment can be no louder than 85 Hertz. And a rock concert is about 100 decibels. Thank you. Yes, our rock concert is over 100 decibels usually. And so it is definitely doing damage. **Michael Hingson ** 48:36 The other side of that though, is that the people who are playing in the bands are behind the speakers, so they don't get hit by it as much, which is a point that someone made once we were discussing that very thing. How come the people who are playing don't get deaths? And the answer is because they're behind the speakers, and they're not getting the blast of the louder sounds, but nevertheless, it's still there. And I have never liked really loud music. I went to a concert in 2019. It was Pentatonix, the, the, the vocal group, and they're amazing. They are although I like straight, no chaser even more, but that's okay. They're a group of 10 guys from Indiana. The problem for me with the Pentatonix concert, and I loved it. But unfortunately, I was sitting almost right below a speaker so it was just louder than I liked and I wasn't able to move. But they did one song where they turned off all the microphones. And it was it was exactly as I imagined it. It sounded the same as what they did with the microphones on except just not nearly as loud and it to me sounded a lot better, but they're an amazing group. They were absolutely fun to listen to even though it was loud **Sharon Carne ** 50:00 Hmm, yes. And one of the things our son did, he joined a couple of bands, he plays electric guitar. So when he was playing in the heavy metal bands he got earplugs made that he would put in his ears so that, that being around the sound over and over again, the level of all it wasn't as damaging. So he still uses Wi Fi is goes to a concert or even goes to the hockey game. We have loud fans here in Calgary for the hockey team, so he'll wear his earplugs at the hockey game. **Michael Hingson ** 50:31 I went to Daytona, the Daytona Speedway in 2011, the National Federation of the Blind was demonstrating the first vehicle that a blind person could drive not an autonomous vehicle, but actually it provided the information so a blind person could sit behind the wheel. And they literally drove it around the Daytona Speedway, if you want to see it. It's at www dot blind driver challenge.org. And Mark Riccobono, who's now the president of the National Federation blind literally drove around the whole Daytona Speedway, traveling through obstacle courses and other things and passing a vehicle. But after that, and it was about four hours before the Rolex 24 race began in January of 2011. When that race began, they had passed out earplugs to us when I was a little ways away from the race track. But my gosh, was it loud, we we stayed for 10 minutes and then left because it was just way louder than a lot of us really liked even with earplugs. **Sharon Carne ** 51:33 Wow. And how fabulous I had no idea that a car had been designed to allow a blind person to drive Michael, what great news. Well, **Michael Hingson ** 51:44 it's got a ways to go. And I think that the whole concept of autonomous vehicles will help. But Mark drove this around the the entire racetrack he drove through a couple of obstacle courses of barrels. Then there was a van in front of him it threw boxes out of the back and he had to avoid those and so a lot of randomness to it. It was really pretty cool. But WWW dot blind driver challenge.org. It was it was really kind of fun to be there and be a part of that. But not when the race started. That was a little noisy for us. **Sharon Carne ** 52:17 Oh my. **Michael Hingson ** 52:21 So we we all have minds to one degree or another. But eventually we all get very busy. We get our minds get very busy just involved with every little thing. Are there sounds and ways that we can slow that mind down and get people to step back or just slow down a little bit? **Sharon Carne ** 52:42 Oh, yes, there's a couple in particular, a couple of I could recommend one of them. It has to do with how the body responds to music and the beat of the music. For example, if you go into the grocery store, and there's music always playing, it takes only about four to five minutes for your heartbeat to match the beat in the music. That's called entrainment. Now knowing that your heart wants to try to match the beat of the music, then knowing also that a relaxed heartbeat is around 60 beats per minute, you can make your own playlist of music that will help calm the heart down. And when you calm the heart down, you calm down your breathing and your brainwave state. So it calms the mind down to in fact, I found out recently, Michael that YouTube has 60 beats per minute playlists and a whole pile of different musical styles. What a great tool for people to use. It's fabulous. **Michael Hingson ** 53:44 I have to go check that out. I'm I'm assuming though, Matt felt getting to a slower heartbeat and so on somehow came with heavy metal. **Sharon Carne ** 53:56 No, no, that's the reverse. If you're driving and you need to you need to stimulate the mind. Then having music with a lively beat a faster beat can help to keep you more alert. I love lively Latin guitar and big band dance music is another one of my favorites for driving. Yeah, I love those. **Michael Hingson ** 54:20 I'm a great big band fan. I love a lot of from the 40s and 50s the swing era and so on Benny Goodman but others as well and even more recent album when Linda Ronstadt did a couple of big band albums that were great. Ah, cool. So, but I hear what you're saying. Still. It's it's, it's different for everyone though. But I'm assuming you're saying that it's pretty standard that that we, whether it's the grocery store, whatever our heartbeats typically will match themselves to the beat of different different sounds depending on where we are and what We're doing is that pretty universal? **Sharon Carne ** 55:02 That's pretty universal. And there are genres of music applied psycho acoustic music for one of them that is based on manipulating or changing the heartbeat, and it to create the relaxation response or the reverse to keep the body relaxed and then to keep the mind alert. **Michael Hingson ** 55:21 So people are, I'm sure asking and we've sort of alluded to it a number of times. We know there's healthy eating I'm assuming there's healthy and unhealthy sound besides just being too loud or is that true? **Sharon Carne ** 55:40 Definitely the they're unhealthy sound like traffic noise. There are studies especially from the European Union showing how people who live near mirror major freeways, it has become a major health problem, because the sound of traffic consistently can raise the heartbeat and and also stimulate stress hormones so that that's more like junk sound, unhealthy sound, healthy sound. The three healthiest sounds actually for the body and human are wind, water and birdsong. These are natural sounds that we evolved with? Well, their honor, we have them. Water is essential. So when we have water sounds around us, I think the nervous system response that I'm safe, I can relax there's water is essential for life. Then we have wind which helps us get our bearings, and then we have birdsong. And birdsong affects the nervous system and a couple of ways. birdsong helps us feel safe when the birds are singing, because our ancestors when the birds stopped singing in the forest, they knew there was danger nearby. Another thing that the birdsong does is it stimulates the brain and the nervous system, high sounds will stimulate the brain. And so it can help keep you alert when you need to need to get a lot of work done or have a deadline or something like that. So really healthy sounds **Michael Hingson ** 57:12 I've enjoyed generally being close to rainstorms. Listening to the rainfall, or and sometimes thunder if it's not too loud when it gets to be too explosive, the sound but I have found that rain or gentle storms like that can be very pleasant. **Sharon Carne ** 57:35 Oh, me too. And waves at the surface. Yeah. Yeah. Another one. **Michael Hingson ** 57:40 Have you ever heard of an album I think it's by 101 string is called one stormy night. **Sharon Carne ** 57:47 I haven't heard of that one. I've heard of a couple of others that they've done with nature sounds in the background of the strings. **Michael Hingson ** 57:53 Well, one stormy night is an album that that came about years ago, back when we still had LP discs right before. But somebody in the Los Angeles area recorded a rainstorm. And then they put it to music. They put different songs to different parts of it. And I've always found it to be a very pleasant thing. I actually discovered that it is available when I asked my little Amazon Alexa device to play it. And now I've got some decent speakers that I can project it through. It really sounds pretty good. And I find gentle summer rainstorms like that even with a little bit of thunder to be a pleasant thing. I've also been in storms where thunderclaps come right over our house and they're not quite as fun. **Sharon Carne ** 58:45 No, they're not. We've had both. Yeah, I love the gentle summer rain storms too, or the wind blowing through the leaves **Michael Hingson ** 58:53 are blowing through the leaves. We have wind outside right now. My little system tells me it's about 28 miles an hour. But I also have some wind chimes that someone gave me earlier this year or late last year, just after my wife passed and we put them up as the first time we put wind chimes here at the house but they're very, they're very pleasant. They're very soothing sounding. And so between that and the wind, it also gets kind of nice. And Victorville. There's usually a lot of wind so it's nice to have something that turns it into a little bit more pleasant sound. **Sharon Carne ** 59:29 Huh beautiful. I love wind chimes too. I have them in the in the on our front porch that I just love the sound of them. **Michael Hingson ** 59:36 We have this we have this on our backpack. Well our patio, it's on the side of the house, right outside my family room sliding doors so I can hear it most anywhere in the house, especially if one of the windows is open but I can hear it outside now from my office here and it's really kind of nice to hear them. Well Is there is there some last minute advice or thoughts that you might have for people listening to this and watching it on YouTube? **Sharon Carne ** 1:00:09 Well, I think the main advice Michael would be to become aware of the sound around you because it's affecting you. The human being is so deeply wired to sound in so many ways from heartbeat to receptors in the cells to how it shifts your brainwave state so many different ways and of course, the nervous system. So become aware of the sound around you the music also, so that you start to get a sense of what feels right to you. And what is is good food for your nervous system. And **Michael Hingson ** 1:00:44 feed your nervous system it's well worth doing. Well, I want to thank you for being here with us, Sharon, this has been a lot of fun. And I know you have given us some things too, that we can offer to people listening want to tell us about those. **Sharon Carne ** 1:01:04 There's two things Michael that I've been I love to share. One of them is called it's a recording called the nervous system balance. And it's about a four minute recording. It's four different tuning forks sounds that are are created are these the series of sounds are created to calm the nervous system to settle the nervous system, calm down so that you can start your day from a good place. And so it's something I encourage people to download and play with find out because we are all new unique, find out if this will work for you. And if it helps make your day go a little bit better. The second one is two of the three nature sounds that we talked about. It's a beautiful woodland Creek, and the other one is birdsong. So it's quiet of playing quietly in the background allows the body to relax with the sounds of the water and the birdsong can create relaxation, but also stimulate the mind I like to have it on when I'm writing so so I can it keeps me the body relaxed and keeps me focused. **Michael Hingson ** 1:02:17 And how do people access those, **Sharon Carne ** 1:02:21 the their the nervous system balance is sound wellness.com forward slash balance. And then the woodland song is sound wellness.com forward slash woodland song All one word. **Michael Hingson ** 1:02:42 There you go. Well, and people can go get those and download them and hope they will and I am going to do it. I like waking up to nice reasonably quiet sounds in the morning we used to live up in Northern California in an area of Novato, California called Belmar in keys which was designed to look like Venice, Italy. So every house was either on a lagoon or a waterway between lagoons and especially during the summer it was quiet outside, you wake up in the morning. Some of us like to sleep later than other people in the in the whole association. So we got to wake up to the sounds of boats going by our our house will have we would have the back sliding door and our bedroom open a little bit. And we could hear the boats going by and just all the pleasant sounds of the whole area with the lagoons and all that. And then of course all the ducks who came up because they thought that we should read them. That's a different sound. But we loved the Pleasance sounds of, of the boats and the water. **Sharon Carne ** 1:03:52 Oh, how beautiful. **Michael Hingson ** 1:03:53 So it was great. Well, I want to thank you again for being here. This has been absolutely a joy, you've been a joy. And I really appreciate you coming on to be with us.

Well, I really appreciate your time and you taking the opportunity in time to be here. It's now got to be close to dinnertime for you. Which is a different sound. **Sharon Carne ** 1:04:41 Yes, it definitely is. My husband clunking away upstairs. I think Nick is cooking today.

In this video, Colleen and Robyn welcome Lauri Shainsky.  You can experience some different Shamanic Sounds. Shamanic Sound with a metal bowl and crystal wand. “Raised by redwoods” in Northern California, Lauri's formative years spent at camp set her trajectory for a life committed to Nature. She began facilitating mountain camp adventures in 1978, during which she ceremonially vowed to commit her life to serving others and Earth. Lauri's time studying ecology (BA from UCLA, MS from UC Davis & Ph.D from OSU) expanded her insights and awe of Nature and Her profoundly intricate perfection. Lauri's sacred vow led her to start a nonprofit organization teaching young people and adults about ecology in the outdoors. There she enjoyed teaching birding by ear and bird language, animal tracking, terrestrial and stream ecology. Her Portland State University professorship in education and service-learning expanded innovations in outdoor education. In 1998 Lauri dove deeply into spirituality at LightSong School of Shamanic Studies, along with Michael Harner, Tom Cowan, and Betsy Bergstrom. She furthered her sound related studies with Tom Kenyon and Jonathan Goldman.  For two decades, Lauri carried the songs for LightSong, taught shamanic sound healing and became one of the primary elders for the school. She continues to teach courses, lead ceremony, and see clients.  You can find her at:  http://shamanicsoundhealing.com. Lauri has a rich body of shamanic sound work that seeks to help people curate their own spiritual development, healing, and transformation. Her spirit-guided sound art contributes to shifts in our physical and metaphysical lives, and provides soundtracks for personal ceremony and celebration. She has recorded 6 albums and will be recording her 7th one this month, for those who are supporting others in the processes of dying.

Have you ever noticed how your voice changes with your emotions? The voice is a direct expression of your inner state. It carries rich information about your psychological, hormonal and physical circumstances. Sound is also the first sense humans experience in utero with the early development of the inner ear. In fact, many ancient texts have placed sound as the foundation for material existence. Universally, the sound "OM" is the seed syllable for all of life. Sound is critical for human functioning, awareness, sensory input and output. The way you use it (or don't!) will directly affect yourself and those around you. My guest today, Ruth Ratliff, is a wise and brilliant holistic voice teacher and Licensed Vibrational Sound Therapy Practitioner with over 40 years of experience as a voice professional. She learned to harness the power of her voice at a young age when personal tragedy led her to the profoundly healing medium of sound. She understands how people's voices reflect how they feel about themselves, and believes that the voice has the potential to offer us a much deeper experience of our inner landscape. In this episode, Ruth guides us through an amazing journey to help us understand the powerful and constantly available tool of sound for effective, heart-centered communication and connection. Together, we discuss the significance of the intention behind your voice, tips for optimizing the impact of virtual sound healing, the value of recharging your sense of wonder each morning, the effect of menopause on the vocal chords and how to work through the common issue of disliking the sound of your own voice. Ruth also shares practical tips for developing a powerful, embodied voice and how to practice deep listening to expand your consciousness. Ruth is an incredible resource for holistic healing and I highly encourage you to check out her published book, The Voice of Women's Wisdom: An exploration into the expressive, creative and healing powers of your sound and to explore her rich offerings at Ruthratliff.com!
