Snatam Kaur - Long Time Sun - She sings in peace and light!

Hello My Friends,

Thank you so much for joining me here today. I came upon this song a while back and found it so peaceful and uplifting. It really exemplifies the ways in which music can bring joy and serenity to your day. I would have said to our lives, only I think it's important to understand that we all live in each moment...and we do so moment by moment. Music can take us away. Music can touch us and bring us to tears. Music motivates us to get up and move our bodies in dance, it can send us to a time gone by.

In scientific terms, Music heals. Music is therefore medicine. Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher and mathematician who lived from about 580 to 500 B.C.E. is credited for being the first person to use music as a healing technique in an organized fashion.  Pythagoras, it is said was inspired by the sounds of the blows of blacksmiths hard at work.  He noted that some blow sounds were more pleasing to the ear than others and that inspired him to create the musical scales. 

Pythagoras considered that music, when used the right way, contributed greatly to health and wellness, and he called his methods music medicine. Pythagoras practiced music medicine in a clinic situation teaching clients to chant and sing paeans. In the medicine bag Pythagoras had created were certain melodies used for cures to ease the passions of the psyche and others to heal the emotions and ease the mind.

Pythagoras wrote of atoms and said that each atom has it's own sound that comes from vibration and movement. Surely, a more harmonious rhythm can be made when our lives are in more harmonious order. So, if your not feeling in tune or in harmony with yourself and the world around you, chances are, your not! 

The use of chanting, meditation, affirmations and of course, the SINGING BOWLS will aid you in regaining balance and attunement in your life. When all the energy centers are properly tuned with harmony flowing in the FIVE BODY SYSTEM you will feel more completely full, rich, and alive in the music of your life. I remind you that balance and attunement are not something we are simply born with. Many of us are born well out of tune. Becoming attuned, though not a difficult process, can be a lengthy one.  Though each of us can learn to gain harmony and attunement, that is not to say that we can find the pathway to attunement without assistance. 

I conduct regular seminars that teach you how to manage harmony in your daily life. Of course, first harmony has to be archived for each individual. Once tuned, the human body plays a more beautiful song. Retuning will be done as needed. The more you play your life in tune, the less assistance you will require from a Virbational Healer. The goal is to teach each person how to maintain (for the most part) health and vitality.

I sincerely wish that you have enjoyed your visit with me today. I look ever so forward to meeting you here again soon. If you would like to schedule a private appointment with me, please let me know. I also conduct group sessions, Continuing Education Courses, and many other workshops in the DC area on a regular basis.

All Love,

I Am Who I Am

You my be a big fan of Seal, and still haven't heard this song before.  I find the message very appealing, and the words to be most important in a time on our planet that many have described as 'so out of sorts' or 'gone mad'. With so many focused on war and the destruction of life, anything that seems to unify and bring the spirit of hope and joy is so welcome. We all arrive here from the same ocean of divine and infinite love and light. We may come with different missions, yet no matter how seemingly negative or unkind any of us may find the missions of others to be, FAITH in all of humanity is key to peace and harmony. How can one be so rich, live so well, eat more than enough, avail of life saving medical treatments, get amazing education, and enjoy the opportunity to travel anywhere while another goes without food, without medical treatments, without education or the chance to see our world freely? How can one be rich at all if others starve, die needlessly, don't learn to read? How can we say we have anything at all when some have nothing? Who are we? What are we as a people? How have we become so full of greed and disregard for human life?  

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

When you say out loud I AM...how does the story go? Who are you? What are you? Karma explains so much, and we have the ability to improve the lives of others, and as such, unleash ourselves from some of the chains of karma...and still we don't free anyone, let alone ourselves.  

There is a wonderful book that was just released at the end of 2010 written by HOWARD FALCO and called I AM. If you get the chance, I suggest you read it at least once. 

In Howard's book he writes something to the effect of:

If each person would agree to take one day (the same day) to support and uplift everyone else, there would be a tremendous rise in our planetary consciousness on that day.

Just imagine a day when everyone takes a day and just sets out to support and uplift everyone, even just a little bit...can you imagine this happening? Sadly, if you are aware of the UN International Day of Peace, well, research it if you like...again, sadly, most people don't even know about it.  

Additionally, there was much work done to create a day wherein all wars would stop on this day of international peace. This was an effort to restucture the International Day of Peace to include world-wise STOP of all wars.  Just imagine the work that went into dealing with so many waring countries...just think of what it took to travel the globe negosiating a 24 hour day of PEACE.  A time for families to reunite, for soldiers to rest, no bombing, no bullets, no killings. A vacation from all wars worldwide, a day to just stop the fighting for everyone everywhere. It took so much money, deadication, contributions, so much effort, and real drive and passion. It looked like it was going to work...it was really going to happen. Amazing!

Unfortunately, on the morning of September 11, 2001, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, was speaking in New York at the opening of the UN General Assembly. He reminded the gathering that this was the 20th anniversary of the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE, "a day of world-wide peace and goodwill".  He was just about to lead a moment of silence in the name of peace when the first jet struck the north tower of the World Trade Center. No matter what your views are of what REALLY happened, that day, 9-11, began the WORLD-WIDE WAR OF TERROR. It's insane. No wonder so many view the world as 'gone mad'...where is the love?

So when you ask yourself who you are and what you are, the answers may surprise you. Are you a greedy boss, a militant parent, a manipulating spouse, an uncaring teacher? Are you perfect? Are you sunshine and lightness? Are you everything and anything without judgments? Are you mostly happy? Do you give to others in a proper way? Do you know what a proper way to give is? I AM...

Everything is a Blessing...You are a Blessing.

Wishing you Peace and Light until we meet here again...

Gregorian Chanting Monks - Music For The Soul

Chanting goes back thousands of years, yet so few people are currently aware of the reasons for chanting and the tremendous benefits of this beautiful activity. It seems most people living in industrialized countries around the globe consider chanting to be the sort of thing for monks in far off places like Tibet, or Gregorian Monks, or that chanting is reserved for church services or protest. Chanting is a powerful spiritual tool. Chanting is such a powerful spiritual tool, that by definition, chanting is actually MEDICINE! Yes, chanting heals!

Please take a moment to hear this video of Gregorian Monks chanting in a song like fashion. If you settle yourself down, get a bit calm, find your center, relax, take a few deep relaxed breaths, close your eyes and push play, you will feel what I am telling you. Please try it now.

I pray you have enjoyed this few moments of peace. I teach and lead group sessions as well as private chanting sessions designed to heal the FIVE BODY SYSTEM.  Should you wish to learn to use this amazing blessing to support healing in your life, please contact me for a schedule of group sessions, or to arrange for a private healing session. All of us truly can heal from anything, we can forgive anything, we can overcome anything...and "yes" allowing the divinity of light and sound to assist you in your journey will provide the loving support you deserve in your life. You are never alone. You are united to all your brothers and sisters in this great river of soul. Your family is here. You are not alone.

Wishing you much peace and love, kindness and joy.

Until then,

Harmonics - Salt on a vibrating table

One way to describe this demonstration of how sounds create shape would be to call it SOUND ART, or MUSIC ART. It makes me think that sounds and music create a geometrical formation that can effect everything in the surrounding area on a cellular level. That being said...how would Mozart LOOK in terms of the shape the salt would form? I assume Mozart would formulate complicated, yet beautiful shapes that would fill the air and enter us leaving a beautiful imprint of sound. If this is true, would music that sounds harsh and dark and 'ugly' then create less 'beautiful' designs with the salt? 

I'll look and see what I can find, and should you find out first, well, please let us know and thank you in advance.

I had fun with this and I wish that you did too.

Much Love...ALL LOVE...EVERYTHING IS LOVE~

I wish that you'll visit here again soon.

 Good Bye Now~

What Amazing Things One Can Learn by Reading!

Hello Dear Friends,

So, what did reading teach me today? Well, as an example, did you know that even under general anesthesia our ears still hear while our brains remember and react to what we hear? Did you already know that? I certainly didn't.  This is according to the research and published findings of Linda Rodgers, C.S.W.  Rodgers tells us "The auditory pathway, unlike all other sensory systems, has an extra relay. Auditory fibers are not affected by anesthetics, so they continue to transmit sound. Simply stated: We never stop hearing!"

Linda Rodgers was motivated by her research to establish the Audio Prescriptive Foundation that makes CDs to be used before, during and after surgery. This anxiolytic music is the subject of a not yet published three year study conducted at New York Hospital.  If we can hear during these stressful times when we are completely at the mercy of the surgeons and the OR teams, not to mention the angels of death, well, I think pleasant soothing music, soft sounds, or you know...at least Harry Conick Jr. seems appropriate.

All of this is about how sound can assist us. Apparently, we hear and know our mother's voice long before we are born. As newborn infants we can hear the voice of our mothers. We know our mothers when we hear their voice even before we are born. Sound has already connected us to our mother and we know her first through sound. Of course, there are many that live without the ability to make sound, those that aren't able to speak and others that will never hear. I don't know what to think of this group, the deaf and or the mute. Perhaps they think in words and those words create a vibration within there bodies at the cellular level, thus transmitting a different type of signal for the infant to connect with. It's puzzling, and of course, I have no real idea...just sort of thinking out loud here.

I am grateful for my hearing and ability to speak words. Or as the French physician Alfred Tomatis, M.D. put it "I prefer to say that it is only God who speaks, and man exists to translate this message-very awkwardly it is true-into human language".

So even in the death state of anesthesia, our ears continue to hear. While we are so incapacitated, so near a living state of death under such powerful drugs, so knocked out that our hearts can be replaced, our limbs removed, all sorts of appliances implanted, when we can be poked, cut up or sawed, then sown together, we, in this state can still hear! That just sounds crazy to me!

I am learning so much about sound through the amazing books that others have been kind enough to spend their time creating. A very speical thanks to Dr. Mitchell L. Gaynor, M.D aurthor of The Healing Power of Sound, Shambhala, 2002

In my healing practice, energy, vibration and sound are the tools that I use to rebalance, ease and adjust people who have made the chooice to live better...and better is always better!

I thank Mr. Neville Johnston of Reston, Virgina as well for his time and concern in my training and atunements.

Everything is a Blessing!  Good Bye for now, and I really wish that you visit here again soon~ Apple Blossom

Healing with The FIVE BODY SYSTEM

I don't believe that there is a separation between the FIVE BODIES, or that an imbalance in one of the FIVE BODIES will not have an effect in the other bodies.

1. THE PHYSICAL BODY
2. THE MENTAL BODY
3. THE EMOTIONAL BODY
4. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL BODY
5. THE SPIRITUAL BODY

Think about it. (If you like)

You have a bad case of diarrhea. In spite of this physical condition, you decide that due to a situation that you believe is more important than having diarrhea, you have to go to your job. You shower your body. You dress yourself. You choose to skip the morning coffee for fear it may cause more harm than good. You get in your car and journey along in the direction of your job.

Suddenly, the cramping in your stomach tightens up. You start to perspire at your upper lip. You take deeper longer breaths. Now you search your mind for the fastest route to the nearest convenience mart or drug store. You can't even think of getting to your job, in fact you have forgotten all about the importance of getting there in your desperation to not have a very terrible accident in your car.

Somehow you make it to the drug store, you drink down some potion promising to restore you back to prime health, and you run directly to the restroom. Although relieved, you now feel exhausted and weak. You have crumpled up your nicely pressed outfit. The medicine didn't taste good and you want a cool drink. All of the sudden you mind wonders to the idea that if your mother had taken care of you when you were little all this wouldn't feel so bad. There was never anyone there to comfort you as a child when you were sick. You think about your husband's family and how they support each other. You feel envious of that support because you never got it.

The pain is back and the cramps start all over in a rolling cycle in your belly. You sink deeper into a depression sitting atop a public restroom toilet. Your thoughts move to your thankless job and how no one will care about why you are late today. Everyone will be busy rushing around and annoyed at you for being late. You start to wonder how you will tell anyone what has happened that made you so late. It's too personal to tell to anyone, too weird you think.

The rolling in your belly won't stop and there is no one to call on for help. You wonder how long it will be before someone starts knocking at the door to take their turn in the public rest room. 'No, not another fear' you tell yourself. You feel overwhelmed. You hang your head and surrender to the sadness. You feel uncared for, unappreciated, in secure, confused, unsure and unsafe. You begin to pray. Maybe your SPIRITUAL BODY can save you. Maybe with your SPIRITUAL BODY you can gather enough energy to pull you up and out of that bathroom and get you where you think you must go to be. You grab onto your SPIRITUAL BODY and cling to that knowing it is all that you have left to use to give the rest of you enough hope to make it up and off to that all important job.

If you ask most people they will tell you that diarrhea is simply and physical condition. However, when one aspect of the FIVE BODIES are unbalanced, diseased or in danger, all of the other BODIES will engage to assist and potentially suffer. It is normal for anyone to feel stressed, depressed alone and discouraged in the example above. The example is to illustrate the connectedness of all FIVE BODIES within the SYSTEM.

Having assistance in gaining health is normal. If I may be of service to you, please let me know your wishes for a better and better state of being.

ALL LOVE,  APPLE BLOSSOM

Apple Blossom Healing

The are so many possibilities, and so much to take into consideration. If in your mind HEALTH is truly WEALTH why not choose to be better and better? Why not make each day count for something starting with gratitude for another day of opportunity to live your TRUE BLISS? What would it take? What would have to change or happen to get you to start each day in your GREATEST JOY, your life's TRUE PURPOSE, your real reason for being? Why are you here? Why were you born? When you make the statement I AM...what follows? What is your life all about? Is there a deeper meaning that you know is there that you just haven't quite reached for yet? What holds you back from living your better days, your happiest moments? What holds you back from sharing your greatest gifts with others? Who are you? 

I don't know of greater or more important questions. Knowing what gives you the most satisfaction, what you desire to dedicate your life to, what is more important than that? What I do know is that life gave me massages, signs and signals along the way. There may never have been clear direct instructions, or maybe there were and I wasn't prepared to understand them. It took me 47 years to get to my breaking point. 47 years of living in a light fog to finally clear my heart enough to begin to see the light shining inside me. 47 years of thinking things like 'that's life' or 'oh well, that's how it is' or I'll always get by'. I don't want to just get by and now I understand that life is not just life on it's own unmanageable terms. Life is LIFE on MY terms and my conditions and my agreements. So I learned the hard way, that's for sure, how to live better and better by actively choosing to live my GREATEST JOYS. 

I am better at HEALING and HELPING others than I am at anything else. What's better is that this is also what gives me the most SATISFACTION, JOY, and BLISS. Being of service to others in HEALING and HELPING is my reason for living, for having taken embodiment in this lifetime. It is a pleasure to offer assistance to others so that they may feel balance, peace, wellness, hope, health, and a better and better life.

I am willing to work diligently in the service of others for any and all conditions which may manifest in any of the FIVE BODIES. Please contact me for an appointment and to let me know what concerns you have that I may assist you with. 

Thank you so very much for visiting with me today. I wish you joy and happiness, health and a better and better life.

All Love,

APPLE BLOSSOM
