Over the holidays, surrounded by family or friends, or alone, how do you find a space for peace inside yourself? When conversations and behaviors head in dangerous directions, bringing back feelings you don't particularly relish having, what are your tools to stay calm, and centered?
This is a season to use the tools we have built all year, to remember them and hearken back, to keep building our toolbox for times of need. I have come to sound healing and mindfulness out of necessity on my search to find a sense of calm and inner peace that I didn't always have, that I even now have to work very hard to put into practice, especially when old patterns with family and friends rise up with force inside my mind and body.
During this holiday season, give yourself the gift of relaxation through sound. This will be the greatest gift you can give your family and friends because it will most assuredly give you a calm place to return to in those moments when the worries of the holidays and the interactions that trigger age-old anger and hurt threaten to unglue you.
