Tonight was one of the best experiences I have ever had giving a Sound Bath. I had just come from day two of Jikinden Reiki training, so I was already extremely grounded and feel amazing. I experienced a little stress during setup as I had not practiced all day and wanted a chance to do so before guests started to arrive. As always, my stress was unnecessary, and it all worked out as it should.
I am loving watching firsthand Brian’s growth as a gong player. I can tell he has been studying different techniques and patterns. I felt like a teenager at a concert watching him play and feeling the energy in the room rise as he did so. He is also starting to feel confident reaching for instruments and layering them on based on his intuition. This is such an important part of sound baths. Intuitive playing and layering on. Trusting that there are no mistakes in a sound bath; if you are called to play an instrument you should.
Christina and I did a duet on our flutes. I would play something, and she would repeat what I played. In my mind it is like a mother and child relationship as the child mimics the mother. The imperfections made it even more ideal in my mind, as the child mimics but does so in her own voice. I would like for us to work towards higher quality flutes and finding two that really complement each other well. The ones we have serve their purpose but there is room for improvement of the sound. For two girls who had never played a flute before a few months ago we are doing pretty darn good!
We are all finding so much joy in the sounds we are creating and that really is the purpose of it all. To find joy and healing and to spread joy and healing. I left the Sound Bath with my heart swelling with love and pride. I am proud of us. I am proud to have found this beautiful passion of ours. I am proud of our dedication. I am grateful for all of it.
