I started this session with my legs crossed, left over right and could feel vibrations strongly in my calves. From there, it went to my back behind my heart very strong.
I could feel it resonating down my legs and across my mid-back the strongest. I reached the same spot on the sound/frequency program and the system popped and shut down. Twice.
The first time, I thought it was some kind of glitch and maybe I had set things up incorrectly. I couldn’t figure out how, because it is very straightforward and simple to set up and connect to your electronic device.
I was using my laptop and it shut off my computer both times. I went through all the motions to get it back up and running and in the same spot it did it again.
I give up today. I don’t believe in coincidences, so I will try again tomorrow and see if the same thing happens again.
Having been previously diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I thought this might be a good session for me to help heal that issue. If you have this condition, you know it has many, many effects that are unpleasant from extremely dry skin to hair loss, to lack of sleep or constant exhaustion to just name a few.
At first, I just enjoyed the vibrations coming from the Lounge. I had automatically crossed my ankles left over right this time. Within the first two moments of laying down on the Lounge, I could feel the vibrations in my thyroid.
The vibration itself seemed more centered in my hips/legs in the physical Lounge; but I could REALLY feel it in my throat.
It was like it skipped over everything in between and went directly to where it was needed the most to bring my body back into resonance. I fell asleep.
RestStation Lounge
What a lot of people don’t realize when it comes to thyroid issues is it can become pretty common in men when they reach their early fifties. In some cases, men even younger. Many men don’t think of this as a medical issue which can affect them, as it is considered more of a female disease or problem.
Whether you are male or female, having hypothyroidism can be very challenging on a physical level when trying to meet the demands of your life.
I will be doing this session more often to see the long-terms effects I notice on a physical level.
If you would like more information about the RestStation Lounge, please use the contact me form below to express your interest. I’ll follow-up with you as soon as I get the contact.
I thought this would be a good follow-up to the previous session. As I mentioned before, when I remove something from my energy field with sound therapy, I replace it with a higher vibrational frequency (strength, joy, etc.)
Muscle Pain and Wound and then Healing Regeneration seemed to doubly reinforce the intention for me.
What the intention is for your session and experience is a very important part of any treatment in my opinion.
I did not use the neck pillow this time as I wanted to see if I felt it more in my head. I didn’t really notice any difference with or without the neck pillow.
But here is what I did notice. I noticed the vibration was stronger in my left leg, hip and lower back than the right side. The right side was also where the migraine was previously. When the vibration focused at my lower back, it was more balanced on both the right and left sides of my body.
I felt different pain releases in my legs and chest and neck at different times during the session. As the music and frequency changed, my body responded in different ways.
I ran energy in my field to help even things out and it did. I realized I breathe better at the ocean, because whenever I heard those sounds I instinctively started to take deeper breaths from my abdomen.
After this session, I realized I needed to lay down and take a brief nap to really let things settle out. When I woke up about an hour later, I felt really good and went about my day.

The energetic part of this treatment was immediate for me. First the waves which I think calm most people, as it establishes an emotional connection with relaxation, the beach, stress release and release of negative emotion.
When listening, I could feel the sound filling places which had released earlier either physically or emotionally. I think one of the most important things as a sound therapist to notice is what is invited into those released spaces?
When you do a sound and vibrational session with someone to clear something from their field, do you then invite a new energy in to fill that space? Or do you leave it? If so, how long before you or your client has taken back on the issue that was originally released?
I invited re-charge (or what I call reset) and re-energized those spaces that previously held dis-ease or lack of resonance in the body. For instance, if I clear and release stress, then I would invite peace or serenity or acceptance to energetically fill the empty space in my field.
I find this helps in NOT taking back on the energy of what you released in a session either with yourself or a client.
What do you do?
One of the great things about the RestStation Lounge (and there are several) is that it is set at zero gravity. When you lay on it you are in a space of total comfort and held without any participation on your part. You can also connect to other sound healing attunements that are available on YouTube and run them through the lounge.
It comes with access to lots of programs and I’ve been working through those; but I just briefly listened to a sound and vibrational healing for inflammation on YouTube and ran it through the Lounge.
The really exciting thing was that it picked up the frequencies and vibrated them through the Lounge along with the sound. I was very impressed with this capability and the experience. I was also very excited at what that meant on another level. Not only did I have access to all the programs through
I really liked this one. The vibration was very strong through my legs, back and bottom. It then built in strength. I went with the music which talked about releasing it all to dolphins and waves and whales. I felt the instructions at the beginning of this one would be helpful for some folks. It helped me realize I could do this shifting and releasing safely and let go of how that would have to happen.
I imagined the sound and vibration as bubbles against my skin and the different world of being underwater. As a scuba diver, I love the weightlessness of floating in water or allowing a current to carry you somewhere effortlessly. There is such beauty around; and literally millions of different beings. When diving, I discovered I breathe differently underwater. I realized I was now breathing that way. Deep, effortless, balanced breaths were coming from my diaphragm.
A few times the intensity was strong. I almost got up to turn it down, but realized I must be shifting something as I had already checked the sound in the beginning. Then it would shift … or I would and we would start over again.
This session felt extremely calming and relaxing and yet invigorating and energizing in a balanced way.

I didn’t feel any vibration. I kept expecting it and missed it. There was one crystal bowl – very loud, frequency was off for me. I found it very annoying, and actually took the headphones off my ears.
There was another spot where I expected the sound and vibration to get lighter and more etheric and it did the exact opposite and got lower and thunderous.
It felt agitating to me. I could guess it was for grounding to then take it to a higher level, but it felt yucky to me for some reason. I wanted it to stop. It felt/sounded like the “da da DA” in a movie or something. I’ll do a balance because my energy field feels really off in my higher chakras now.
This was completely unexpected for me. I expected to have a totally different experience.
Same Day
Immediate next session with the Lounge
Chakra Balancing – Duration = 30m
It definitely felt like my chakras were balanced with the sound and vibration of the bed. However, I still felt a loss in the upper chakras.
I wanted more of the vibration I feel when working with other sound tools like tuning forks and/or bowls when they are placed on the body of a person. I intend on trying it with a bowl at a later time, or the Chakra Tuning forks for the upper levels.
The Lounge vibration and energy feels like it is targeting the lower physical body and chakras than coming all the way up through the 6th, 7th and 8th chakras.
I’ve since had this conversation with the designer of the Lounge, Gary Ferguson. We’ve discussed how to include things in the design of the Lounge to bring the sound and vibrational attunement up into the higher levels of the body.
January is when you really start to notice colds and flu are everywhere. People are coughing and hacking. They are out sick. Kids are miserable. There is a run on tissue at the supermarket and drugstore. Tips of noses are redder than usual. Eyes are looking a little glassy from over the counter cold/flu medicine. Does it look like this outside?
Baby It’s Cold Outside!
There are ways to support your immune system with sound and tuning forks and I’ll talk about that in a minute. There are also lots of products out there. If I’m being honest, I start with the alternative products. However, if I don’t get better very quickly or stop it in its tracks, then I’m reaching for the first thing that is going to make me feel better. Here I mention some over the counter products that I’ve found to work really well over the years (very few). Then I talk about some alternative products (preference) and lastly, focus on providing sound support with tuning forks (preference) and other sound tools.
Over The Counter Remedies
A product I swear by is Alka Seltzer Plus Cold/Flu. It works!! That’s all I need to know when I can’t breathe, am coughing my brains out, ache all over and can’t get out of bed…yet have too. This acts like a superpower and gets me up and out.
Flonase is another one. When I have the allergy symptoms and my head is so stuffed up, itchy eyes or runny nose, this works. And it works for an extended period after initial dosage, which is awesome.
I’m partial to Airborne if I can catch it early enough. You have to take this at the first tickle. Seriously. If you are going to travel, take it before you go and keep taking it while you are around all those folks who are coughing and hacking.
Another good idea to start taking on a regular basis is Emergen-C. This will increase your vitamin C and minerals. If you’re like me and can’t drink orange juice, then this is a good source.
Non-Traditional Products
Products that are healthier for you to use and easier on the environment:
Thieves, Essential Oil
Thieves essential oil is a product that contains clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary. You can get it at Amazon.com or Young Living Essential Oils. (If you are ordering, my number is Distributor #1111320)
I have a cup of hot water with thieves oil in it at the door to my house. When you come into my home, I have an entry room with plants and then you step into the kitchen. On the counter above the sink is where my thieves oil/water mix sits. Thieves will neutralize germs. That way anyone who walks in with a cold will have their germs neutralized in my house.
I remember last year when my daughter came to visit and she was pretty sick with a cold. I put a small bowl of Thieves oil and water next to where she was sleeping. She felt better the next morning and her symptoms were much better in two days.
I’ve also put Thieves oil in a bowl or pan of hot water and inhaled it with a towel over my head. You have to be careful with Thieves. If you put it on your body directly, it can be too hot and burn. For instance, I thought I’d try it under my nose. My nose was running a lot and the steam with Thieves helped. So I thought, well maybe if I put a drop under my nose that will help more. Don’t do it!! It works in the water because it is diluted. Full strength will burn your tender nasal passages. You can dilute Thieves in essential oil or olive oil/avocado oil as a base carrier to put on your body. I tend to use coconut oil for things like this too.
When I travel, I take a small spray bottle with drops of thieves in it and water. I spray my hands and spray my energy field with it. This works better and is healthier for you than hand sanitizer. Sanitizer contains a lot of alcohol and can raise havoc with your skin especially in the winter time. I call it my “protection spray”. The really good part of it is the way it smells. It smells like cinnamon and baking.
Another great product is Rescue Remedy. You can buy this at most health food stores. It works for people and animals. The main effect I notice is that it calms me down and gives me a greater sense of well-being. Very helpful for stress. I don’t know anything more stressful than not feeling good and having to function as if you are!
I also recommend Epsom Salt Baths. It helps to remove toxins and nothing feels like a hot bath when you can’t seem to get warm.
Forks for Immune System Balancing and Energizing
When I’m getting ill, the first thing I want to do is provide support for my organs, glands and immune system. I’ll do an endocrine tune up using Om Unison or Om Octave tuning forks. You can also use Otto tuning forks for this. The endocrine glands are Pineal, Pituitary, Thyroid, Thymus, Islets of Langerhans (Pancreas), Adrenals, Gonads or Ovaries. I’ll tend to spend longer on the Thymus (helps the immune system), and Adrenals.
OM octave
The Om forks (or Otto) are for balancing and grounding. When I’m sick, I don’t even want to be in my body. I tend to sleep a lot. I think that’s so I can leave my body and travel on the astral plane and feel good vs. sick. Om forks will help to ground me in my body and provide balancing support for those systems that are ‘out of whack’ due to my cold/flu.
I also want to provide support, so I’ll work directly on some of my organs. I’ll use New Moon 6th (C&G) which creates an opening and Om Unison or Om Octave for balancing and grounding. I’ll focus on providing support for my kidneys, liver, lungs and spleen.
Solar 7 forks will provide heat, help to dry up mucus, provide spleen and adrenal support.
Solar 7 forks
It will help:
the circulatory system,
any disorders due to where you live and lack of light (seasonal effective disorder),
to strengthen the immune system,
to eliminate cold symptoms.
If you are experiencing a lack of energy it will help with this;
as well as arthritis which tends to get worse in the winter months.
Lastly, I would use Mars and Venus forks.
Mars/Venus Forks
Mars/Venus is representative of the masculine/feminine balance. The vibration of Mars helps with blood, the head, muscles, inflammation, male hormones and the immune systems. Venus helps with balance and proportion. Venus rules copper and is associated with kidneys, bladder, parathyroid, glands, anti-inflammatory action, and female hormones. I’d be using these forks to restore and rejuvenate, to bring back balance between the male/female and giving/receiving. I’d tend to use these as I start to feel better.
What do you do when you are feeling under the weather? How do you help yourself to feel better? If you have a chance to try any of the above things that I do and use, please let me know? I’d love to hear about your experiences. Do you have a product that you swear by? Please share it with us if you do.
The other day we had a break in the frigid temperatures, and I took a walk downtown Littleton. It’s just about a mile each way and I needed some fresh air.
I was starting to feel like a hermit!
About 5 minutes into my walk, I started questioning my judgment as the sidewalks weren’t shoveled and the roads were pretty slushy. It was not easy walking.
Then I saw this:
In the Pink!!
Seeing this in the middle of snow and slush reminded me that what is happening around us is temporary. It’s in the moment and has the capacity to change … in the NEXT moment!
I think we lose sight of that when our immediate circumstances are upsetting or dis-empowering (in our mind). I say that because honestly the circumstances or events are just that. It is our interpretation of them that effects us on an emotional level, and either creates the drama or fear, or happiness.
When circumstances happen around me that could be perceived in a ‘bad’ way … like getting fired, being in an accident, getting a huge bill, someone gets sick, etc…
I intentionally move ahead in time. Yup, you heard me right. That is one of the times when I leave the present moment and move ahead on my personal timeline to a future moment. Specifically 6 months ahead of this event.
Why?
Because I realize from the past when something appears to be bad it usually isn’t. If you go ahead 6 months in your life, you would be looking back and saying, “What a blessing this was!” If that incident didn’t happen, I would not have been available for this … or I would not have been able to do this … or I would not have met ‘so and so’…
Then, I make a conscious decision to not judge this event as BAD and to just sit with it. Not as easy as you might think to enter a space of ‘no mind’. At first, I couldn’t get to a place of blessing either. So, I worked on no mind. No thoughts about this as good or bad. It just IS. I remove the energy associated with this event. Other people’s emotional energy or my own has to go. Neutral. No thoughts. No reactions. No fears.
Once you get to this spot, then the next step is the blessing part. That might take a little more work on your part. It did for me.
Just remember, this too shall pass. Spring is around the corner. You are the manifestor of your world. Thoughts become things! Choose wisely.
I encourage you to be creative in your expression. Whether that’s verbal, print, art or the written word. Here is a sample of how I journal.
I started doing this 16 years ago. I realized I could use the colors to express my emotional status when journaling. I could have fun with what I was writing. It seemed to more accurately reflect what I was feeling in my writing and the thoughts I was expressing.
