Giving Voice to Spirit

To Jan Cercone, In Appreciation

This weekend, the International Sound Healing Conference has come to Santa Fe. Well this conference is always in Santa Fe, but a fabulous array of researchers, pioneers, and practitioners have come to town. And every day of the conference has given me amazing gifts.

In May at the World Sound Healing Conference in San Francisco, I briefly visited with a singer, healer, Jan Cercone, and bought her delightful CD, As Above.....So Below, Streaming Light and Tone. We reconnected here in Snta Fe on a deeper level and shared our current work. Today Jan was a presenter, Using the Voice as a Focused Healing Tool. In addition to sharing some terrific vocal tools, she invited several other singers to share their particular styles of using voice to heal with the attendees. Along with Susan Hale and others, I am deeply honored that I was given the opportunity to Sing Spirit. Indeed, "I Raise This Voice to Spirit".

After the session several people shared their appreciation for the songs. Sherri Roberts, a massage therapist, Subtle Energies Body Work, Stokesdale, NC, related her experience of my singing.  "Your song opened my heart chakra and I began to cry. My healing journey has been to work on opening to heart energy. The singing evoked that love and compassion that lives in my heart."

And that was just one of many marvelous experiences that I have had so far, and there are two more days!

Blessings on your journey, KiP

Sound Healing, the old is new again

Sound Healing is an old phenomenon whose time has come AGAIN

The Ancients as well as our Indigenous Elders have known for millennia that every thing is made up of energy, even thought they might have used different terminology. When things were out of balance, in disharmony, in a diseased state, they knew many ways to affect that energy to return to balance, wholeness. Sound with sacred intention was one such powerful tool, one that we are rediscovering today.

Has your life been effected by Sound or another method of Vibrational Healing?

I would love to hear your stories as we share this earth walk together.

Learning from the Pro...Shaune Clarke

I'm not even sure how I got the announcement for the interviewing teleconference. But knew immediately that I could use any info offered. Boy were my instincs right on this time.

So what does this have to do with Giving Voice to Spirit. I now have a valuable tool that will help me share the voices of others as well as enhancing my own.

So, what happened. Last week Shaune Clarke presented a teleconference on Intimate Interviewing and included a 30 minute consultation, all at the cost of my phone service!

You see, my intention, when I attended the World Sound Healing Conference in San Francisco last month, put on by Globe Institue, was to report my finding to you as I learned more for myself. Well, what interviewing training I have is reporter style, and I didn't get too far with that at the WSHC.

Maybe I was so drawn into the wonder of being among people who understood and accepted me with out LOTS of "Huhhs". Maybe it was that I know my little corner of the Sound Healing experience and was caught off guard by how much bigger that world is. Maybe I was over-awed by all the big names in Sound Healing just hanging out and sharing...Yeah, I know enough to know at least some of "The Names".

Or maybe I was using the wrong approach.

All that to say that I came away from WSHC reporting less than I had hoped.

I could only wish that I had heard Shaune Clarke before I went to San Francisco!

What did he say that would have made that much difference? Well, I would have been more confident knowing that I do in fact have some strong skills and talents that I could have banked on, instead of trying to be that "reporter". He has definitely changed my attitude and approach to interviewing with just his free information. His consultation showed an honest and open desire to share his wealth of knowledge and I never felt preasured to invest in any further training. However....

I was given a very valuable gift and I look forward to learning more from Shaune Clarke.

Blessings to your all

How to find Lorin, Weya Healer

Sorry!!!!!

I told you about my Favorite Shaman, Lorin Smith, a Weya Healer, Pomo Medicine Man form the Kashaya Reservation in California. Well, I didn't give you Lorin's contact infromation.

Now remember, Lorin is very Native American and sometimes goes by Native American Time. Maybe you've seen those bumper stickers that say "Native American Time" and then have a clock with no hands.

And Lorin also travels all over the States and Europe, so, do be patient.

A friend is working on a website, but until then (yes, I will post it) snail mail and the telephone are it.

Lorin Smith

PO Box 31, Stewart's Point, CA 95480, 707-785-2270.

Many Blessings to you all, KiP

From Sound Healing to Weya Healing

I haven't forgotten my goal of further reporting on the World Sound Healing Confernece. However, life just keeps moving forward and before I got home to write anymore, I went up to the Kashaya Reservation above San Francisco to visit my Favorite Shaman, Lorin Smith, a Pomo Medicine Man and Weya Healer.

But let me start back at the Conference. I had a mishap in Chinatown on Sunday morning. I tripped and went head first into a metal pole. You see I had been looking for a place to make an offering to the Dragons for their kindness earlier in the week. Well, as Belle said, I made a substantial blood offering right there on the street in China Town. Belle Star had ventured out with me for breakfast and was an angel in getting me back to the hotel and finding others to continue assisting me.

Many people at the Conference were very helpful and offered many forms of support and healing. Two women, only knowing that someone was injured, came immediately to my aid. There being no coincidences, of course, I had made very deep connections with both in the previous two day. Norma Dove (myladydove12@yahoo.com), a volunteer with medical assistance training sprang into action. Along with the care one might expect, she brought out her Young Living Essential Oils and proceeded to work aromatherapy magic. At the same time Lee Wai Ching (EarthStar Healing Consultancy) was clearing and realigning enregy with her own special talents. And I am grateful to all the others offered service through the day.

The more I hear about such head injuries I know I was blessed and would be in much worse shape without such immediate love, care, and healing. For all the visual impact, you know how head wounds can bleed, I only had a half inch cut. But my body had really been knocked off kilter, with the force going all the way down my spine. The two days before I had been consuming the Conference with a vengence. I had to be everywhere, see every sight, try everything. "After the Fall", well I had truly been knocked back into my body in some ways, or out of that "all consuming" attitude anyway. From that time foreard it was more about truly experiencing, gently, with purpose, with intention. I'm still sorting out those two different ways tof being and what I have truly brought back from it all.

So, you know, when you've had a rather traumatic experience, it is really nice and comforting to have a healer you have known check it all out. With friends I traveled north along the California coast to the Kashaya Reservation to see my Favorite Shaman, Lorin.

Visiting the reservation and the Ceremony house was a wonderful new experience for me and one I truly enjoyed sharing with my new friends; traveling companion, Raphael Weisman and Shirley Bassett.

I've know and been honored to experience Lorin's Weya Healing for almost 10 years, but he always comes to Santa Fe. To be blessed with the Weya Healing in the Ceremony House and from such a Gifted Healer, well what is there to even say. And then it was my great honor to Give Voice to Spirit for each of them.

Thanks for letting me share my story with you. It continues to be an interesting journey. And I am amazed at the blessings that come to me every day on this Path.

Many Blessings to You and Yours, KiP

World Sound Healing Conference, Amazing!!

What an incredible 4 days. I have drummed and hummed and danced and vibrated and visioned and… learned so much!!!! There’s so much to hear about, and so much new technology as well as the ancient practices that still hold true. 

I am at home with people who understand my voicing, who themselves voice and tone and sing.

And the science that is coming forward to verify and quantify the power of sound to heal is phenomenal. Much of the quantum physics and music theory is way beyond me, but enough has been shared in lay-mans terms that, oh yeah, I get the idea. I sit up and take notice when a composer and special effects man for Raiders of The Lost Ark and Star Trek shares new sound technology he has developed by studying The Great Pyramid of Egypt.

Got to Pack. Blessings

San Francisco, here I come!!!!

Early tomorrow a.m. I'm heading out. Will be traveling with Raphael Weisman, the harp maker. Check out his works of art, yes they are works of art as well as musical instruments, at Harps of Lorien.

I am really looking forward to this conference, WORLD SOUND HEALING CONFERENCE, as well as being in San Francisco after, oh my, 23 years. There will be so much to  learn and share with you all. As I mentioned last week I am covering the show, so if you know a publication that might be interested in articles, please let me know.

My personal interest in the Conference is to gather info for products that I will be releasing this year. Yeap, another teaser, but they aren't ready for full disclosure yet. They went to an independent traditonal lab today for analysis. The confernece will give me alternative ways to test.

You can learn more about what I've been up to lately by going to My Sacred Ceremony.

Will try to give you info as I go, but it will depend on the cyber cafes and such. Otherwise, will see you back here next week.

Blessings, KiP
