Quite literally. From the time I was very small, I felt singing connected me to the Divine (still do, in fact). I've listened to a lot of singers and I love a lot of them. But every so often, I am struck not just by a voice or a song but by what someone captures in a moment with their voice, with their being. It is impossible to describe when that happens.

When the idea first came to me it took me a bit by surprise. I really love writing the posts and while I have had my lapses, as time has gone on, it's gotten easier to just let the inspiration flow and to write about what's so for me in the moment rather than think I have to come up with something profound.Juliahttp://sound-and-music-for-healing.blogspot.com/2006/10/coming-soon-new-voices.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sandra Winter)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23101795.post-116130063815345013Thu, 19 Oct 2006 22:27:00 +00002006-11-15T22:03:39.524-05:00I'm getting ready to attend the New England Sound Healing Research Institute's 2006 Conference on November 17-19 in Rowe, Massachusetts. Aside from being excited to meet other sound healers and hear what's happening in the world of sound healing, for me it's a very affirming event because it reminds me why I do what I do.

But it triggered a lot of feelings that had been lurking just below the surface, surprising me with their ferocity. A package that had been left at my front door was stolen and what it kicked up for me was a lot of insecurities, anger and of course judgment about the person http://sound-and-music-for-healing.blogspot.com/2006/10/healing-balm.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sandra Winter)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23101795.post-115989450433383383Tue, 03 Oct 2006 16:01:00 +00002006-11-15T22:03:39.375-05:00There is a man I know who makes gorgeous Native American flutes and from the moment I saw them on his website, I knew I had to have one. They are absolutely gorgeous! (You can see them here: http://bluestarlove.com/AdoptaChild.html) Even though I have never touched a flute before, I was drawn to them because of Blue's story, and also a story of my own. I love to attend Native American sweat http://sound-and-music-for-healing.blogspot.com/2006/10/miracles.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sandra Winter)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23101795.post-115973237488050180Sun, 01 Oct 2006 19:31:00 +00002006-11-15T22:03:39.292-05:00It was definitely an eventful summer and I took some time off from blogging to just go with all the things that were happening. In June, I attended a training out in California with Christopher Howard and became certified in Neurolinguistic Programming and Ericksonian Hypnsosis, as well as being certified as a Results Coach. I have gotten busy with practicing what I've learned and have had a few http://sound-and-music-for-healing.blogspot.com/2006/10/hello-again-its-been-while.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sandra Winter)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23101795.post-114735788150752435Thu, 11 May 2006 14:00:00 +00002006-11-15T22:03:39.113-05:00One of the greatest joys of my life at the moment is volunteering at a local hospital, offering music to hospice patients. I've been doing this for about two years now and it's taught me a lot about myself and about the nature of giving service in my community and about what healing really looks like.You see, for a long time I held back from singing in hospitals (although it had been suggested tohttp://sound-and-music-for-healing.blogspot.com/2006/05/presence-is-operative-word.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sandra Winter)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23101795.post-114679080199108255Fri, 05 May 2006 00:50:00 +00002006-11-15T22:03:39.011-05:00Today I received an email from a fellow sound healer and blogger, Eliana Gilad, letting me know of her work in creating an Israeli/Palestinian harmonic circle in Israel. With all the ancient wounds in this part of the world, it is so wonderful to hear of this kind of work being done.

This not-for-profit organization is dedicated to networking and sharing experiences and knowledge of sound healing with other sound healers, coordinating educational programs to enhance the study of sound healing for practitioners and the generalhttp://sound-and-music-for-healing.blogspot.com/2006/03/whats-neshri.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sandra Winter)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23101795.post-114104744530614378Mon, 27 Feb 2006 13:21:00 +00002006-11-15T22:03:38.747-05:00Well, I've finally gone and done it...I've been hearing about blogs for a while now and have decided to take the plunge while I work on my larger website. Creating a blog seemed like a simpler way to get my feet wet on the Web and to begin to connect with my virtual audience...whoever you may be.What I'd like to do here is to write about sound healing, a subject I'm quite passionate about, and http://sound-and-music-for-healing.blogspot.com/2006/02/welcome-to-sound-and-music-for-healing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sandra Winter)0
