A WORKSHOP DEMONSTRATION
“Your practice shapes your presence. Your presence shapes the space. The space shapes the possibility.“
I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING from the folks at SUNREED ~ CENTER FOR SOUND HEALING, a supplier of very high quality quartz crystal singing bowls. Their message conveys a very encouraging, as well as accurate, rationale for those of us who use sound in our energy healing practice. So I thought it would be fitting to share it with my readers. I think you will resonate with it and benefit from its content. Enjoy . . . and feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with me by email. Below you will find my email address, as well as a link to Amazon where you can review and purchase my book ATTUNEMENT WITH SACRED SOUND. Check it out. Here’s the article from SUNREED.

There comes a moment in any sacred journey when inspiration must root itself in practice. When the call that once sparked curiosity asks something deeper of us, commitment, presence, and discipline. The path of sound, healing, and consciousness is no different. It is not a one-time event or a quick realization. It is a lived devotion. A practice. A path.
To walk this path is to cultivate a discipline that is not rigid, but reverent. It is a rhythm you return to, again and again, not because you are lacking, but because you are growing.
We practice not because we need to be better, but because we recognize the sacredness of life deserves our attention.
Whether it is toning with our voice, playing an instrument, holding space for another, or simply listening deeply, each time we show up to our practice, we are refining our capacity to be clear, present, and aligned.
Discipline, in this sense, is not about control. It is about devotion to clarity. It is about tending to our inner landscape so we can be of service to others with coherence, integrity, and care.
Your personal practice is also a seed for collective resonance.
When you ground yourself in daily attunement, whether through sound, breath, movement, meditation, or ceremony, you create a vibrational field that others can feel and trust.
Working with others in sound and consciousness requires us to develop our own resonance first. Not perfection, but stability. A kind of inner holding. So that when others enter the field with us, they are met with presence rather than projection, groundedness rather than distraction, awareness rather than reaction.
We practice to prepare ourselves to be a vessel for whatever needs to unfold, for their healing, their emergence, their sound.
When we work with others using sound, we are not fixing or controlling outcomes. We are inviting a process. Sound is a bridge between the conscious and the unconscious, the visible and invisible. When we offer it with intention, we invite others into a co-created space where something more than either of us can do alone may happen.
This kind of practice requires us to let go of needing to “know” what should happen and instead trust the intelligence of the moment. The more deeply you’ve explored your own sound field, your patterns, your voice, your nervous system, your shadows, the more space you hold for others to do the same.
The more consistently we walk this path, the more we emanate a field of integrity.
People feel this, not through what we say, but through how we are. Your practice shapes your presence. Your presence shapes the space. The space shapes the possibility.
Walking this path is not just about what you practice, but how you practice it, with intention, humility, and respect for the mystery. As we walk, we begin to embody what we hope to offer: connection, coherence, and care.
And over time, we come to realize:
The path of practice is not just a means to an end. It is the path itself that transforms us.

Until my next post,
Be love. Be loved.
