Hi, all! Here's a Sound Journey that I just created, and I thought I'd share it with you before it goes up on YouTube. It was specifically designed for calming oneself and helping to transmute emotions. CE, FAC, ace, CE....Let me know what you think!

For this homework, I’m playing my 8-Bowl Empyrean Crystal Singing Bowl Set in 432 Hz. These bowls have a smooth, polished exterior and a different tonal quality and response compared to frosted bowls, so you may notice the sound feels different in its resonance and layering. The polished surface supports a gentler, more fluid sound and offers a softer tactile experience. Frosted crystal bowls, which are more popular, also produce a beautifully meditative and grounding quality and are also quite wonderful. Because of the smooth exterior, I’m also able to work with the mallets a bit differently. At times, I use the rubbery or silicone edge of a wand about an inch below the rim, which creates subtle variations in texture and response. In this recording, I’m using Crystal Tones suede and silicone mallets. I also like using Sunreed’s Full Wrap Quartz Crystal Striker. In this sound journey, I focus primarily on the CEG and FAC chords, using a blend of the techniques Kalee shared during class. My intention was to stay present with pacing, transitions, and listening deeply to how the bowls interacted with one another and with the space. As always, I find it helpful to begin at a lower volume and gradually adjust upward to what feels most supportive and comfortable. This allows the nervous system to settle before building intensity and depth. Thank you for listening — I look forward to any reflections, feedback, or questions. 🌿✨

Well here is something I honestly never thought I would do lol. It's the scariest thing I've done since I decided to get married 🤣 I tried my hand an a very short effort at toning. When I tell my friend she will either scream in delight or pass out with shock 🤣 Anyway, here is a sound journey for gratitude. I have also never spoken on video as I have always cringed at hearing my own voice. Apologies for the chinging on my f bowl and I also clunked my pyramid by accident. I was going to record it again but my hip said not a chance 😊 All comments and constructive criticism greatly appreciated 🩵

The intention for this sound journey is that we know and feel that all is well. 🌸 Enjoy some singing bowls, a rattle made with black tourmaline to shake out old energy, and some intuitive vocal toning. All really is well. 💗 Thank you for listening. ✨
