My First Post

Dear Folks,

PLEASE NOTE: If this entry interests you, consider checking out the blog by reading the first post FIRST (i.e. starting with this one). The info is cumulative and will make more sense if you read them in the order they were written. 

Hello to everyone and to no one (yet)! Finally got the technicals right enough to post. What to say? How about what the title means...

I named this blog for the three things that interest me the most, these days: frequency, tuning and resonance. I come to this interest by way of a lifetime of study and love of music, from both the technical and energetic aspects of sound.

Being a musician for me started while in utero as my mother practiced Bach (she would stand up and sway when she played). Betty (my mother) trained me well in singing, with an emphasis on singing in tune. I began formal lessons at 3 (flutaphone and recorder), continuing with piano at 4, violin at 9, cello at 20, viola da gamba at 26, flute at 28, harp at 30, Irish Whistle at 55. Each instrument I've played for at least a solid 20years, some considerably more (I'm 60). Indeed, pretty much I've always played music--for my own enjoyment, as a recording artist, as a performer, and to facilitate self-healing.

I've been tuning instruments all my life as well--thousands of hours of tuning the above instrument (and for the groups I played in), and also professionally as a piano tuner for 35 years and as a recording engineer. In the last few decades I've studied brainwave healing modalities and become aware of frequency, tuning and resonance from these points of view. I love how physics and metaphysics dovetail.

As a response to the last 40 years of being in pain (stress-related, searing pain up my neck/head and shoulders) I developed a system I call Self-Tuning, which has proven to be a great tool for self-healing. After 35 years of no progress whatsoever releasing the pain, five years with my Self-Tuning practice has dissolved the pain almost entirely. I anticipate that soon I will be virtually pain-free.

Where resonance comes in is that I have discovered how healing myself is all about being resonant--being filled with the light and love of sound, surrendering to the perfection of this infilling quality of wholeness.

To lay the groundwork for how I will be discussing my subject, here is one convenient way of putting it all together in a zingy triplicity... 

• Frequency is about ENGAGING the energy of sound healing (i.e. choice, skill, willingness). 
• Tuning is about FLOWING the energy of sound healing through the system (i.e. cleansing, adjusting, restoring). 
• Resonance is about SURRENDERING to the energy, (receiving what is being so richly given to me, a gift from the Cosmos: that which heals me through my willingness to unite with the All). 

If I find that anyone is truly interested in hearing more about these adventures in sound and healing, I would love to share. I am also available to consult about other people's similar processes in self-healing through frequency, tuning and resonance. Assisting people in healing themselves--especially from conditions that have been deemed chronic or hopeless--is my passion. (Disclosure: it's also my profession, and thus, I do charge. However, truth be told, if you are ready to make a shift into wellness and do not have the funds for sessions, I am more than happy to work with you, anyway.) So, if you'd like to hear more, please let me know.

All the Best,

Laurel
