heal and connect with their spiritual nature you'll want to sit back and relax as positive energy starts right now so wall welcome to positive energy thank you for having me nice to have you here so let's you are a lot of things your musician of her former teacher and author and for me a lot of what you do boils down to the power of sound vibration for healing and awakenings so give us a little brief overview of what you do especially how you might describe it to someone very well what i do is i offer music and self healing techniques so that people can feel great so most people know me as the sound of the music that they hear in yoga class they're like wait like the wall you like your the wall that i've been listening to what i'm like person behind the music exactly and only together it's me so a lot of people know me because i'm inside their head which is a little creepy you know your lot of their yoga practice i am part of their yoga practice some usually part of their life people use my music to connect to self and is really necessary when you're going through a breakup when you're going through a difficult time in your life and going through a transition and then also when you're just going through celebration time like you want something that's like really up but not you know not corrupted in any way just pure joy so there are different kinds of brains and we know this from the educational world and there are visual brains auditory brains and can static brains and they learn that in order to help change the teaching styles so if you are can the static as most children are your brain is more can static in the beginning than if you manipulate the lego's you manipulate the pizza pie then you start to understand math better so they they started realizing that you can't just write things on a board not everybody is vis so this is true in the spiritual world as well some people are visual and so the chocolate system in the lights in the different patterns in the monday all us and all the and the deities way they look and they have eight arms and whatever they have this is all for the visual brains and then you have the kinesthetic thing which is you know is the body sinking is it floating how does it feel where does the heart rest above everything you know where is the where's the ocean shin is right here at the heart and so then this is above water and then this is below water and so these messages are for kinesthetic people auditory people and i am auditory i would have guessed yeah it's all about like you know rhyming couplets an apple a day keeps the doctor away that's a rhyming couplets and all of the science of i of it is written in rhyming couplets so you can easily remember them and my entry into self connection is through sound and so i love all the different mantras i love music i love rock and love african music i love the different kinds of beats and the claw of a of the african you've been music like it's all about music for me so as i've moved deeper and deeper into the practice and starting to help people use tools for self healing then we go into humming we go in to finding the vibration inside the body because if you can connect to that you've taken a very big first step to feeling better so what are sort of the mechanics of that in terms of energy and vibration like what does it look like when sound is penetrating the body and the training the cells going into our system is there any science behind that or is it just sort of that more feeling how something resonates and feeling better yeah well let's start let's start with using science science is good he's not so good for me so if you take light for example it shines very nicely through the air so reaches you on a sunny day if it goes through water it kind of refracts and makes beautiful patterns in your swimming pool if it reaches a wooden wall or a tree or something like that the like can't penetrate so you get what is known as a shadow sound on the other hand will travel through all matter at a different speed it will travel in the same proportion so what you hear in the air you also hear underwater you'll just it will travel at a different speed and it will be you know you won't get quite as many of the the depth you know when you're underwater it'll all  and but if you listen you can you can hear also pretty well so then the difference between the sound will go through all matter so it will go through skin will go through the liquids in the bone liquids in the body and then also the bone so what you want to know about sound is that sound travels through solid matter the fastest so if you are listening and you put your ear on the railway don't do this at home if you put your ear on the railway you will hear the vibration of the train coming before you can see the smokestack or even hear the who you'll hear the vibration first because sound travels the fastest through solid matter so that means that when it's in liquid or in the ocean it travels a little less past but the it travels well it conducts really well so the whales can communicate with each other and then through the air the slowest so as you're listening to my voice then it travels through the air and sometimes it even bounces off some of the solid objects so that you can hear me so when you're listening only through the bones so when you're closing the ears off when your list when you're putting your hands on your heart when you're humming you're you're feeling the  the he did that at home and i love it so so you can feel a vibration could you feel yes vibration under your hands and that's coming from the inside and so that's the basis of all my work is that your sound that you create from the inside is the most important thing you can pay attention to yeah i hope and so it may be a radical thing for some people to hear that sound itself this is healing it has the power to change yourself and therefore to change your body so i know that the way you deliver sound is obviously through voice but also through music and through crystal bowls and through montra and through chant so describe when people come and sit in bask in that sound do any stories sort of stand out in your mind in terms of people really reporting some transformation from that yeah well i believe everybody yeah it's a little transformed well into just to be clear michele is talking about the healing concert and that is a multimedia concert that's designed for relaxation and we show some films of our natural universe in order to give people a perspective of where we stand in the galaxy and also to have pictures of what matter looks like before it is entirely formed because we are the same way we are minerals that have kind of swirled around each other long enough to then it here and turn into something so it's nice to see what the dust and gas looks like we also bathed the audience in special healing lights the rejuvenate skin tissue and they also slow down brain waves so they are they're designed by randy johnson and he has also made medical grade lasers so that is the same technology that if you needed if you had scar tissue saved from a car accident or something like that then they would use laser technology in order to heal the skin tissue so these are theatrical versions of what that is and so people are based in lights and that's the sensory it is not a sensory and i wan to give people an experience of being in a very supportive and nurturing warm like and environment so you know meditation this is something that you do something that you do to connect to yourself and so how can we invite people in because you don't know nowadays it's all about mindfulness and then you're going to like label all the different emotions and you're going to you know you're going to be more attentive to this present moment and like there are a lot of kind of catch phrases going on but that's all using the mind and that's really not what it points to we're we're talking about being so happy to be here in this moment in this experience we're talking about the feel good hormones releasing we're talking about a certain feeling of ecstasy when you are in one this with mother nature when you feel the flow that's moving through the trees that's moving in the oceans there and flow when you feel that moving in yourself then you start to feel oneness which is really what meditation is about and so having everybody sit in a room like this one and we'll all close our eyes and we'll sit with a straight spa and then then all guide you through whatever it happens to be like it's way too educational and way too formal and structure yet to install in then you know and then it's like inevitably you know if you ask an audience to go into silence they'll be like are we just going to one minute of silence and like after ten seconds there's three people coughing because they can't bear to be in silence you know so if i give them just a beautiful bath of sound bath of sound oaks has them it just encourages them it's subconscious yeah it's not giving them a direct deeper in that way so i did actually attend one of your healing concerts at the trenton planetarium zero nine and that was the experience of it nice just totally being able to let go and just bask in the multisensory sight and sound and feel an energy of that of that space so well and i thank you for that it proves that music does bring people together and it does have some fundamental level deeper effect as well yeah cool so i know that you want to talk a little bit about the world that we're living in right now and how we can maybe apply some of the what you're saying to what's going on in the world i agree that there is a disconnect a big disconnect in the world we can kind of look at that from our hearts and our spirit such that if we were more connected to our hearts and our spirit there wouldn't be that the whole are ization it feels good when you connect to your own spirit to your own inner connection to you know what's what you do what you what's pulling you forward that feels good you know so if you were meant to do exactly what you are wired that's how we're wired and that as we as the world the world time is basically speeding up and you know it there are a lot of things can that contribute to that but let's just say that you know digital technology has helped to speed up the world it's helped to kind of level all kinds of playing fields in business and politics and money anyway so it's kind of leveled that field and it's if the digital technology is getting faster and digital technology is what we want then as the digital technology gets faster and we are misled into thinking that we will be more connected if we move faster if we use this particular product or that we can move faster you know it's just like oh just get over it like that one a that's a comment right now come on just move on and it's like that's a simplistic kind of push button response to that may that may compel you to just move beyond where you're at where there may be you know your your your mother may have died just last week and it's like no you actually can't just move on there is a process of grieving and integrating what she gave you and releasing her you know there's a process that you have to go through and i meant tain that you can grow faster than you can breathe so as the world speeds up as we decide that you know we can save certain animal species as we you know start overfishing the ocean and then trying to figure out how to compensate for that as we start patenting different seeds and  sources you know we go in there and we start messing it up and so then in trying to correct a problem them it creates another problem and so what has happened is we have become rather than working with nature we've decided to try and outsmart nature and so then there's a riff happening so it's like mother nature is now out of balance and so as mother nature gets out of balance there's global warming there's more storms the ice caps are melting the ocean is coming up you know there are there are things that are happening that show that we're out of balance and the way that it manifests in us is that the head and the heart they are they manifest that same imbalance and so if you a lot of the spiritual practices are designed to bring the head on the heart together i mean even this posture just just praying brings all of your attention then from the mind just brings it down into the heart so that you can integrate what you desire who you are and how you flow in the world so the the disconnectedness is basically a whole bunch of heads walking around in the world completely disconnected to there body and you find that in the medical world so it's like oh we'll fix you up no problem and it's like it's a five hour surgery what do you mean we're going to fix me up no problem did they tell you about the rehab did they tell you like you know about pain management afterward you know it's like no it's not these and there are there are quick fixes and if there's something wrong with the body if there is an imbalance you need to look at why the imbalance was there in the first place not you not the roots not the fix and so that's creating even more imbalance so you know the different there's well there's different schools of thought on about i agree with you that everything at its core is energetic in nature motional in nature and spiritual in nature so that's where we really need to start of speaking of connecting to the heart so you offer cure tahn and singing in sanskrit and montra which i absolutely love so talk a bit about why that even more about why that is healing and what your hope for maybe making impacting positive change in the world just through singing and what is so unique about sanskrit we have had other guests talk about that but i never tire of hearing about the unique nature of sanskrit the language the vibrational language of sanskrit itself you know well i mean let's start with the unique perfection of singing i mean if if we all were singing more we'd be happier because you know the thyroid is just right behind those vocal chords so as the whole thing gets toned you're regulating your system you're regulating your breath your the sound is moving through the bones through the body you know if you're creating the flow of air then you know make it melodic make it beautiful put your energy into it your voice is just like a fingerprint so there are no two voices that are the same which is so amazing the sound of it is just self expression they self expression and moving energy out your voice connects you to your spirit that's why you sing in church because  it automatically kind acts and then you you are automatically connected to yourself you already have your flow if you are singing so add sanskrit sense for it is the the the words of perfection or the sound of perfection meaning wholeness or sacredness and so as you you sense great for those of you who don't know is one of those root languages like latin or greek it's not spoken today but it is one of the root languages of all the other languages so as you go back to these these really these ancient languages were usually used for sacred purposes using the mouse in latin or using the we're children it's so natural to express ourselves through sound and vibration and song we make up songs when we're children it's just so natural and the fact that we lose that but that it brings it out and us i love those events and so now and then then then you have to go to a concert when you're an adult and you have to go to a concert to sing yeah you get a little permission yeah you do that yeah but you know when you do it when you're in your car  why can't you just put on your favorite city and sing along you know it again it activates all the regulating and the cream gland so do it be happy be resilient that's your message do it saying great sound it's good for you it's healthy and people need to play more right and they get to express themselves more so speaking of expressing yourself you're going to share a chant with us now so do is there anything you'd like to say about that chant that you're going to share that you want people to listen the attention to i think because i'm feeling the need to help restore mother nature as much as possible the chant that i'll do is is a simple one and the th are only two words j j and sanskrit means praise and ma which is a universal sound for the mother and so my idea is just if we can all sing along and just sing j mama th we can just send that energy out into mother nature and just say you know we care for you we're sorry about the storms we're story sorry about the fires we're sorry that we haven't treated you properly that you have to do these things to call our attention to you but a beautiful tribute to mother nature in that way so i hope people maybe will even join along yes saying put your hands on your hearts they feel a vibration and if they have a chance they
