Your vibration matters. Music and sound and the vibration and frequencies they emit, have a power to shift and transform us and even heal us. How? What does this mean and feel like? That's what this episode is all about. We have special treat, we recorded a sound bath healing session with Chrissy Earhart of Zenna Wellness Studio in Berlin, Maryland. What is a vibration in sound?

All Music and Lyrics in this episode by James Harrell and Ilyana Kadushin.

Sit and listen. We are here for you.

Maybe baby step and look at those who came before you.

Everybody loves the sunshine.

Not everything needs to be said outloud.

You could write it down.

Reinvent your original thought into a poem, a song.

Release your sludge and come home.

What are you leading with in this life?

Stories of Prince and Nina Simone.

The dopamine of anger.

You know better.

All Music and Lyrics by your hosts James Harrell and Ilyana Kadushin.

Your hosts, Ilyana and James return to ask some questions.

In the quest to not be destabilized by all that you are not in control of, you can feel powerless. Yet you can maintain your humanity.

Can we become human again?

What does it mean to let it all go?

What are sacred doodles and what do they have to do with the seed of life?

Alchemy and Self Hypnosis.

Staying alive inside means making dirt and sifting for gems.

And a visit from the Strawberry Express!

You can and must ROCK ON!
