WHOLE-NESS of Being

Leave a comment

Hey All,

Nasiri, 2017

I thought I’d take a minute today to let you in on a little secret.  Sounds Like Health is NOT just about sound instruments and tools for health and well-being.

 

I believe in the WHOLE-ness of a person.  That includes body, spirit, energy, mental status and well-being in general.  It also includes being attuned to your physical environment and how that might be affecting you on a personal level.

 

Because this is my philosophy, you will see posts from me that include everything from sound instruments and healing techniques to poetry.  I include some astrological and numerology information to include the cosmos as that definitely effects our day to day lives.

 

Think for a minute about the moon cycles and the tides.  Everyone knows that on the full moon the tides are higher than other times of the month.  Why is that?  Because the moon is closer and the electromagnetic effect is pulling the water out in a bulge towards the direction of the moon.

 

How does this relate to you?  Seriously??

 

Women get monthly menstrual periods and the full moon can and will affect that.  You might notice a heavier flow.  You might notice that ‘bulge’ in your lower abdomen in the form on water weight gain.  You might notice a rhythm to your cramping.

 

You can suffer in silence.  Ya right!  We ARE women correct?  Or you can do some things to help yourself.  You might take a pain reliever for the cramping and bloating.  You might use a heating pad on your belly.  You might lay down.  You could take an Epsom Salt bath with some essential oils to help you relax and de-stress.

 

And contrary to popular belief, the moon cycles affect the men and children in our lives too.  It affects your mood.  Have you noticed people acting crazy at the full moon?  Have you noticed shorter tempers or more acting out?

 

So what can we do with sound to help?

 

You can HUM!  Do you remember as children we were always making sounds?  Listen to your own children and you will see that they are rarely quiet.  They are laughing, chattering away, singing or humming.

 

When you were a child you hummed.  It is one of the easiest ways to balance your entire system and you can do it anywhere without tools.  Your voice is your tool.  Your body is your speaker or resonator.  Take a minute with me right now and hum.  You can hum with your mood – happy or sad.

 

The benefits of humming are HUGE!  It helps to balance and align the bodies (all of them).  It helps you to feel good.  It vibrates your internal bodies (big and small) and releases stagnation.  It can change your mood.

 

You can do it in public.  Others might join you in humming.  You can go incognito with humming and do it softly so no one notices.  Or you can loudly hum to invite others to join you.  You can hum a known tune or make one up.  You can be creative with your humming!

 

I will always try to include something that relates what I’m sharing back to sound and well-being or WHOLE-ness of being.  But that might not always be the case.  Sometimes I might just put a poem that I wrote up for you to share in that experience with me.

 

I will definitely continue to share and hopefully some of that will be helpful to you.

 

Maybe it might even invite you to share some of the things that you don’t often share with others too.

 

Thanks for being with me today.  I’ll post a humming video shortly.

 

Blessings on your head…

Nasiri

Bringing 2016 to a Close and Celebrating New Moon, 12-28-16

2 Comments

As we are in the final days of 2016, I invite you to create some space to review the past year, if you haven’t already done so.

 

Typically, I do this by creating some time and space to honor:
– who I was this past year,
– the lessons I learned,
– to honor the things I willingly or grudgingly released,
– and to celebrate the magic and successes!

 

You might be wondering why? Because it is the best way I know to move forward for the next year. If I’m still stuck on something in 2016, how can I creatively move forward in 2017?

 

The new moon in Capricorn (today) is about business and finance! I think that is perfect timing to think about 2017. If you have your own business, what do you want to manifest this coming year? 2017 is a universal 1 year, new beginnings and also the first year of the next 9 year cycle.

 

If you work for someone else, you can still set your goals for this coming year at your job. Where do you want to be by the end of the year? What kind of things do you want to be recognized for this year? What do you want to remember as your greatest accomplishment or success?

 

In my life coaching business, I would be asking you for specific information about what you want to manifest … a timeline, as many details as you can imagine. I prefer to do this by using my imagination and visualizing an amazing year for myself and what that looks like for me.  I would usually start at the end of the year and what was I reflecting on as my successes.

 

Then, I’ll pick up a pen and put it into form by writing it out. Then I might add it on my calendar with ‘to do’ dates to accomplish the things that I ‘saw’.

 

This will help to keep you on track and moving forward. Do yourself a favor… pick 3 things to accomplish. If you do a whole list, you might get overwhelmed. If you pick three things and give yourself a reasonable amount of time to accomplish them you have a much better chance of success.

 

The other thing I want to ask you to do is to take time to relax.  Right now, before the end of the year.  Slow down physically, mentally and energetically.  Mercury is still retrograde, so double check your work.  Take a break.  Take a nap.  Review written communication.  Finish old projects.  Say goodbye to those people, places, and things that have completed their cycle with you.

 

An amethyst will help your mental and emotional clarity.

 

Wishing you a successful year in review and an amazing New Moon Intention Manifesting Moment!!!

The Gong Show!!

The Gong Show

Have you ever driven by a store and had the thought, “I need to stop in there.”?

 

Well, there is this one place, EurAsian Interiors on Broadway in Denver, CO that I happened to drive by frequently over the last 3 years.  Every time I saw it, I had the thought I’d like to go in there and look around.

 

Never happened.

 

Three days ago, I was driving past it again headed home.  I heard the voice in my head (you KNOW the one I’m talking about!) say quite loudly…Time to STOP and check it out.

 

I tend to pay attention to that voice.  So I turned around and went back.  When I tried to go in the door stuck.  I thought it might not be open, but pushed harder and it did.

 

It was like stepping back in time to Europe/Asia or transporting there immediately.  The shop was filled with treasures.

 

I walked around for a bit and spotted this gong.  It’s from Beijing China.  I asked a salesperson, who was present but not pushy, if I could play it.  She said sure.

 

When I picked up the mallet to see what kind of sound we could make together, I heard a male voice in the background (behind a screen) say, “Sure, go ahead and bang on it.  I do.”  I replied that I was a sound healer and it might be a different experience.

 

As I began tapping the gong with the mallet there was a multitude of tones that started to make themselves known.  The sound was enticing and inviting and captivating.  My breath became easier and I immediately knew that I was there for this gong.

 

I asked if they had others…  NO …

 

I checked the price and had the thought, “anything is possible.”

 

So I went in search of the male voice behind the screen and found the owner, Rusty.  He agreed that no one had played the gong quite the way I had before and was intrigued by what I do.

 

We talked for a bit and I asked the question, “What is the lowest price you’ll take for the gong?”  He said he had to think about it a bit and crunch some numbers.

 

I went looking around the rest of the shop and thought to myself, “What is the highest price I will pay for the gong?”  An immediate number came to mind.

 

About 10 minutes later the owner came over and named his price.   You probably guessed it by now.  It was the exact number that came to my mind before.

 

I couldn’t have planned this stuff!  The Universe definitely had a hand in this gong coming to live with me and be a part of my sound tool family.

 

I made arrangements to pick it up the next day.  When I got home I grabbed someone walking by to help me get it in the house.  I did a clearing on the gong and moved other sound tools around it to energetically attune them before making and sounds.

 

Here is the gong in HER new home.  Definitely feminine!  Definitely happy!  Unbelievable full spectrum sounds.

 

Stay tuned for a gong bath sound healing video for the holidays ….

How to support ‘traditional health issues” with sound.

Leave a comment

After my recent post about rotator cuff surgery, I received a question from a reader.  The question was, “Why would I post a traditional article on a common surgical procedure?”

 

Now it’s time to relate it to sound.  So, how did sound and energetic medicine help with traditional surgery and recovery?

 

One of the first things I did was with OM Unison (or two C forks that can be placed on the body).  Because I could not use my right arm, I put one fork in my right hand.  I hit the other fork to get it vibrating and put that on different points on my body.  One point was to support liver function.  The other point was to support the kidneys.  Another point was to support the spleen.

 

These alone helped to remove the effects of anesthesia and medication from the surgery.  Most folks have no idea how deeply anesthesia effects the physical, emotional and energetic bodies.

 

First, you’ll notice you might get cold.  Knowing that might happen is important.  Think about when you wake up from surgery.  They want you to breathe and re-oxygenate the body.  You are cold!  They pile warm blankets on you to help you recover and wake up.

 

When you start to release side effects, it makes sense that you might get cold.  You might get nauseous as well (depending on the surgery).  If that is the case, stop and let things calm down.  Then try again.  Don’t worry that you are hurting anything.  It will pass.  Just be gentle with yourself in the process.

 

To promote healing for rotator cuff specifically, you can use OM unison forks (balancing and calming energy) to start.  I put one in my right hand and the other in my left hand and just held them after I hit them to get them vibrating.

 

As the healing progresses you can use other forks to support your process.  These forks can be placed on other points and meridians that will assist in the healing.  For instance to “open” will help release blocked or stagnant energy in those meridians and organs.  A 6th interval is good for this.

 

As always, pay attention to what and how your body responds.  If you have side effects becoming apparent (nausea, cold, spasming) then adjust as necessary.  By that I mean, move further away from the area that is responding on the body.  Or give yourself more time between vibrating the forks for things to be gentler.

 

To support respiratory function, I put OM unison forks on the LU1 points (located about 3″ above the nipple on the chest/each side).  This will help your breathing to regulate.  That will also help with other side effects.

 

I hope you found this helpful?  If you have any specific questions, please take the time to send a comment and I’ll get back to you quickly.

Rotator Cuff Surgery – What They Don’t Tell You!!

1 Comment

I was talking to a friend the other day who was told she had to have rotator cuff surgery.  Some folks say, “Don’t do it” and others say, “Go for it”.  She asked me what do I say?  She knows I had it done this past year.

 

I say, “Are you in pain?  Is it affecting your quality of life?  Can you still do the things that make you happy without pain?”  If you say yes to pain, quality of life being affected and not being able to do things you love, then I believe it is worth doing.  No matter how old you are. 

 

The reason for my response is because of the quality of your life.  If you can’t do things you love and could easily do before, the question then becomes are you going to limit yourself for the rest of your life?  Are you going to deny yourself those things that give you pleasure? 

 

It is NOT easy.  I’ll tell you that up front.  Doctors or someone else might tell you it is.  NO, it is not.  Realistically, depending on the severity of the damage in your shoulder and your age, you can PLAN on not having the use of that arm at all for 6-8 weeks.  After that, you will have minimal range of motion and no strength for 4-6 months.  These factors depend on what the surgeon did and your age.  Why?  Because it will affect how quickly you recover. 

 

I’m not trying to worry you; but I wish someone had honestly told me what to expect.  I might not have gotten as depressed over the length of my recovery time if they had.  I might have had more patience with the time it was taking to get my strength back.  I might have had more patience with myself and the inability to do things I could do easily beforehand.  I might have been better prepared for the pain.

 

So what can I tell you that will help?  This too will pass! 

 

You are about to learn how to receive…how to receive help from friends and family; how to receive some ‘downtime’ and R&R; how to receive the blessings of something to occupy your mind while your body is recuperating; how to learn patience with yourself and others.

 

PLAN AHEAD

 

If this is your dominant hand/arm, as it was in my case, you need to plan ahead.  If it is your other arm/shoulder, it is easier but some of these tips are still applicable for you. 

 

Okay, what can you do?
