Let the Light Out

Let the Light Out

In these times of trouble and chaos, I find music is something that helps me calm and nurture myself. I generally create songs and store them in a folder until the album feels complete. I did that with the Realms album, which is being released July 22nd. But this morning…something different happened.

I was doing my yoga practice with Ernest and remembered what I heard during my meditation this morning: Let the light out! It’s so easy to get buried in the troubles of our times, to collapse into fear. When I asked, how do I make it through this time of darkness? The answer was like a bell ringing with clarity: Let the light out! During every stretch, I imagined light streaming out of my body, clearing away darkness and stuck places.

Then, I sat down with my harmonium, flute, and voice and two songs came forth. So a mini-album is also being released July 22nd.

Thank you to everyone streaming my music! I’m actually making a little money from this creative effort! Every time you stream my music, I get a little bit of money from the streaming platform. So thank you so much! Someone is listening!! YIPPEE!!

Humpback Whale Meditation

Humpback Whale Meditation

I was trying to find an old license from decades ago that I might need for a job application. I looked all through my files and then had to look through storage containers. In doing so, I found a journal from my time photographing and swimming with spotted dolphins and humpback whales. I started reading and found a meditation written from my experience with whales.

The license wasn’t what I needed to find. It was the journal. Isn’t it wonderful how life works!?! The same messages I was receiving and recording 11 years ago, are coming strong now. Not only was it a validation for me, but a wonderful remembering of feeling dolphins push against my body as we swam in perfect harmony. And of humpback whales connecting with their calves. I still get goosebumps!

I hope you enjoy this meditation gifted from the whales to me…and now to you.

Opening the Heart

Opening the Heart

I sat down at my keyboard and thought about opening to my true self, embracing all of who I am, and this music poured out. I paired it with images and videos I’ve taken. The final image of the dolphin and me was taken by Rodney Bursiel.
