Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful women in my life 🌹

Celebrating you in whatever form of Motherhood you have chosen to create and nurture beauty and power in this world.

11. My Mother's Day wishes for all the beautiful women in my life

I'm so blessed to have such powerful examples of motherhood in my life. All three of these women are legends in their own right for different reasons and they inspire me on a regular basis. These pictures are just the tip of the iceberg. Here's hoping I can live up to their example and in the meantime, just deeply grateful.

I mean, they say cats are natural sound healers, so...?! 🤷🏼‍♀️😻😅

Unsurprisingly, Kitty calmed down after a few Ohmms, just like any of the rest of us...😉

This amazing and hilarious moment happened during a sound bath I shared at a beautiful retreat hosted by .retreats a few weeks ago...

If any group of people could roll with a moment like this one, it's the wonderful women who attended this gathering! ❤️🤗

(The subtitles of their voices are my favorite part 🤣🤣🤣)

I was just getting over a bad sinus infection and my brain and voice weren't 100%, but we managed!

Thank you ladies...and anonymous singing kitty! 😻🙏🏻

Weird hook for some fun drumming clips? Naaah 😜

This is me and my incredible teacher, Nick Baker, who I met because 1. I wanted to learn the frame drum from an expert & 2. I needed someone to witness me repeatedly making mistakes while learning something new.

I know that sounds slightly unhinged.😅

So here's the story:

Beginner's Mind is a concept from Zen Buddhism about approaching something with fresh eyes, open, curious, and unattached to what you think you already know. No expectations. Just the process and who you become. And research shows it's a great way to learn something new.

Last fall, I had a chance to play music with someone I cared about. And I couldn't do it. Too vulnerable. And too afraid of making mistakes in front of them, even though I knew I had the skills.

The opportunity passed. I regretted it immensely. And I realized I still carried a belief that if I tried something new and failed in front of someone else, I was unlovable.

This core wound has held me back my entire life in huge ways.

So I confronted it in December. I threw myself into learning frame drumming, knowing full well that at first, I would feel panic in private, deep shame in front of my teacher, and extreme dread in public.

It's been like this since I was a kid.

But as time passed and I focused on actually being a beginner in my mind, with no musical skills whatsoever and therefore zero expectation or ego, I started to have fun.

I started to love the process and who I was becoming more than I cared about the outcome.

Hell, I *looked forward* to practicing 🤯

I left the laughter in these clips because enjoyment matters just as much as progress, and in fact *accelerates* it. In 2½ months, I learned 15 new rhythms and foundational technique one mistake at a time with zero meltdowns.

What's the one thing *you* would do if you stopped being afraid to fail, be rejected, or be seen as imperfect?

The fear's real. But what if you did it anyway?

How would life be different if you approached that thing with Beginner's Mind? No expectations. Just curiosity.

Maybe this (over)share inspires you! 🤗

Meanwhile, I'm now obsessed with frame drumming and have NO regrets 🥁

I've been quite sick with covid, and every time I've had a coughing fit, my cat immediately runs into the room to drape herself across my chest and start purring.

She stays that way until my breathing normalizes again and the stress induced by the coughing fit reduces.

It's become such a predictable behavior and not something I've seen from her before that I decided to research it.

So. Is she "healing" me with her purring?

My felt sense says yes, but the academic research on this specific topic is limited. Since my work aims to bridge Spirit and Science, I have to consider both perspectives.

Here are some excerpts from a brief search on Google Scholar (I only looked at research articles rather than the internet at large)

"Purr frequencies correspond to vibrational/electrical frequencies used in treatment for bone growth/fractures, pain, edema, muscle growth/strain, joint flexibility, dyspnea, and wounds.

Domestic cats, servals, ocelots, and pumas produce fundamental, dominant, or strong frequencies at exactly 25 Hz and 50 Hz, the two low frequencies that best promote bone growth/fracture healing [Chen et al., Zhong. Wai Ke Za Zhi. 32, 217–219 (1994)].

These four species have a strong harmonic exactly at, or within 2 Hz of 100 Hz, a frequency used therapeutically for pain, edema, wounds, and dyspnea." (Von Muggenthaler, 2001)"

Acoust. Soc. Am. 110, 2666 (2001), https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4777098

“Petting a cat or listening to their purring triggers the release of oxytocin, a hormone that promotes happiness and reduces stress.

This calming effect lowers cortisol levels—the stress hormone associated with high blood pressure—and can help alleviate pain, easing chronic discomfort.”

In my own words: Purrs are generally thought of as indicating contentment, but sick, scared, or severely injured cats purr as well, which tentatively supports the notion that the purr has healing properties, which would make cats powerful little self healers as well as support for their people.

What do you think?

On a recent trip to Tunisia, we were staying in tents in the Sahara for part of the time. I was processing a lot and this is from one of those days.

As a somatic practitioner who takes my own embodiment of my craft quite seriously, I do a weird thing where I record myself sometimes when I'm moving with emotion...to see how I can map my emotional experience to the movements later.

In this case, I wanted to give the emotions a channel of expression without changing them.

While I have been integrating the journey, I recognize that this session was particularly powerful, albeit quiet.

Messages from the Sahara:

The desert said, Leave it all here with me.
The wind said, Let me carry it for you.
The sand said, Make your move. You too can shift like the dunes.
The spirit of the tomb said, Show yourself. I see your worthiness, daughter.
The sun said, Honor your grief and rage. I will dry your tears.
The full moon said, Trust. I will light your way.
The body said, Let me move, so I can metabolize all of this once and for all.
The shaman man said, Keep your heart open. You feel expansion when you hear the drum because your intentions are pure.
The shaman woman said, Walk in beauty. I have removed what was preventing you from moving forward. You have much joy ahead of you.

I said, Okay.

And now that I have returned home, I am sicker than I have been in years as my body adjusts to this new way...metabolizing what can't move forward with me.

More preparation of the container.
Integration.
Expansion when I say yes.

Here's to your own dance of life and journey.

This was definitely one of those moments of "if not now then when, and if not me then who"...

When Stefano (Baroni) my friend and one of the organizers of the Nomads of Expression journey, suggested that I share a short voice bath for our group in the ruins of this amazing amphitheater, I briefly hesitated. I wasn't warmed up, I am notoriously shy, and I consider myself a beginner at overtone singing with a lot to learn...

But then again, when was I ever going to be here again with these beautiful friends and my fellow travelers?

So, thank you for putting me on the spot here - I probably would not have done it on my own, and now it's a special shared moment for all of us.

Here's to exploring the beautiful places in our world, as well as the understood borders of the self, outside of and beyond the comfort zone!

This is what emotional processing and somatic integration looked like for me in real time during an embodied dance practice one day.

Most of us were taught to think our way through things but your body has opinions too...it just communicates differently.

I didn't think much during this session if at all...I just allowed the movements as they came and honored the sensuality of the present moment.

Afterwards, I felt a whole lot lighter, clearer, and some of my emotional clutter was somehow resolved.

That's the magic of somatic integration...it's about learning to feel your way through...literally.

If you'd like to learn this for yourself, I'm opening back up for sessions. Link in bio.
