reSOUND | reVIVE | reSONATE

Today February 20 we are blessed by a new moon in Pisces - signaling a time filled with emotion, creative breakthroughs, and fantastical energy. This new moon will make us feel like we're living in a movie. 

On February 18, the sun enters Pisces - the last sign in the zodiac, signaling unity, merging and letting go. It was also Maha Shivaratri - a sacred day celebrating the convergence of Shiva and Shakti - the masculine and feminine energies which balance the world.

On February 20, it's the new moon in Pisces as Venus enters Aries on the same day. An auspicious time for artistic people in particular to accomplish great things on a stellar scale.

Ideal for meditation and contemplation - self-discipline is conducive, expressing emotional experiences becomes clearly communicable. Allowing us to listen and absorb more with less chatter and clutter.

The energy we're getting from this new moon in Pisces is a bit different from previous years - mainly because it carries the energy of Saturn, the planet of karma. 

As we urbanize and modernize may we continue to keep serene pockets of sanity to sustain and support us. Integrating healing modalities to nourish us better in these more challenging times.

Our bodies emit their own unique vibrational field - each organ and cell with its own resonance. As sensory beings we can avail of these sound frequencies to help clear energetic blockages, re-balance our bodies, and achieve a state of ease and harmony.

Allowing the magic of healing sound to embrace our being. Embarking on our own personal journey of sound healing only requires an open heart and a willing spirit.

Back in our island in the sun after four years away has been a rude shock. What had made is a serene paradise is all paved over by so much hustle and bustle. 

We are heart sore that our beloved island sanctuary has morphed into a wanna-be city hub - too eager to erase its roots as it stumbles on in chaos and mayhem.

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health, defines integrative medicine as a combination of “mainstream medical and CAM therapies with high-quality scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness.”

Integrative medicine chooses and combines the most advanced, scientifically validated therapies from both conventional and CAM systems. Providing holistic, supportive and non-intrusive health options to its recipients and users.

Sound immersion uses quartz crystal bowls, chimes, and other sound generators - frequencies as ancient as time and the elements are harnessed to heal.

Definition and Process

A sound healing session is a therapeutic method that uses vibratory resonance to attune and align body and mind by balancing the flow of energy through its energy centers - the chakras, nadis, and meridians.

A sonic immersion is the experience of being cocooned in a sequenced series of sounds that creates a sonic atmosphere - suspending and cushioning recipients as it weaves waves of acoustic and vibratory sensations.

Techniques and Therapies

Combining both can achieve a deep relaxation by energizing the physical body while clearing the emotional body. A process that produces a renewed sense of rejuvenation - where vitality, clarity, grace, and joy can be attained.

Sound health work covers the distinct areas of:
- for release or relaxation and quiet or mindfulness
- for medical use and restorative care

Technologies and Application

Developments in health and technology have produced research and new tools to monitor and analyze a variety of methods sound can be used to maintain and restore health and well being.

Tools and equipment are designed and applied individually and collaboratively to create and achieve subtle fields of vibration and resonance than can be orchestrated and manipulated to attain sought after outcomes and benefits.

Intention and Outcome

Sound Healing is the intentional use of sound to create an environment which becomes a catalyst for healing in the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual aspects of our being. It is a restorative process to bring back balance and wholeness.

To achieve certain outcomes it is necessary to be clear about the motivation and intent we possess in the process. The more we are able to co-join our actions with clarity and purpose of intention, the better our chance to manifest productive and beneficial outcomes.

At times even surprisingly miraculous. We can only work at and pray for the best outcome as we remove ourselves from the equation.

mystical magical Carlos Santana

We don't need to be a flower power child of the 70s to love the music of Carlos Santana or the lovable icon himself.

His signature sound of fusing American rock and roll with smooth Latin rhythm has kept us on our toes and on the dance floor for the last five decades.

the man, the legend, the lines

Having lived through those times I am now a proud AARP member and card holder. Which means I get their magazine. Their summer music issue featured Carlos Santana on the cover.

The interview contains classic Santana gems that capture his charm and mythos.

“The universe will bring you an abundance of opportunities and possibilities. It’s really all about trusting that before you got there, when you were sleeping, the universe was conspiring to give you something to blow your mind. Would you be open to receive it?”

"You stay relevant by trusting you have something people need. You know, people need air; people need water; people need some serious rrrrrromance,” he says, rolling the “r” for emphasis. 

"Three things: your spirit, your soul and your heart. If you find those and you really find them, you’re going to realize that innocence. Those things don’t leave you, and you don’t misplace them or lose them. Those are the ingredients for you to have a glorious existence.” 

One of his favorite terms is naked awareness - the ability to see yourself fully and make changes away from the negative.

His advise to his younger self? “Strip yourself naked from anything that anyone taught you about anything. And only listen to the voice of your heart, the voice of your light.”

Advise we would all do well to follow as we trip through life. 

a polymath community

The universal being or a polymath (Greek: πολυμαθής, polymathēs, "having learned much"; Latin: 
homo universalis, "universal man") is an individual whose knowledge spans a significant number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems. 

Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci

All inclusive, non sectarian, non denomination centers of education in many parts of the world are devoted to creating and developing the type of human being curious and concerned enough to keep on learning. 

In all our diversity any type of specialization may be too limiting if we are working towards a more complete form of thinking and being. 

This is expressed in the term Renaissance man, often applied to the gifted people of that age who sought to develop their abilities in all areas of accomplishment: intellectual, artistic, social and physical. 

At the recent graduation of the latest batch of sound healing practitioners at New York Open Center I was delighted and astounded by the diverse and masterful accomplishments presented by each graduate. Kudos to you, the faculty and organization for bringing this into our world. Bravo! 

Integrating sound into any type of practice is a major plus for our evolution and enlightenment. Channeling this power through each unique individual is only limited and bound by their imagination and insight. 

The vibratory ripples are cosmic and life changing on so many levels. We stand in awe of your incredible contribution. 

Good vibes go round and round. 

Integrative Sound & Music Training

Sound Healing is an exciting Energy Medicine approach developed by Dr. John Beaulieu. 

It integrates energy healing, systems science, molecular research, spiritual wisdom, and use of tuning forks to calibrate the nervous system, stimulate trigger points, and align our posture to visual harmonics. 

Mindful listening, postural analysis, exploration of sonic intervals, and five-element evaluation using voice and movement patterns are foundational to the class. 

The sound methods we will cover include the use of Pythagorean tuning forks, Otto (osteophonic) tuning forks, five-element music, and voice analysis. 

Dr. Beaulieu will also share relevant stories and clinical evidence he has accrued during his thirty-three years of practice.
