Healing Soundbath for the World by Dr. Hood

A Pebble in the Cosmic Pond

Catching up on the news this morning, I felt a strong need to do something so I got in touch with my friend and colleague Dr. Brenda Hood, whose tuning forks are magical. I just felt like the world had a little need for some of her healing magic, and she was happy to oblige. So here is yet another spontaneous recording session, created in response to the horrendous things happening for far too many of us locally, nationally, globally, and cosmicly.

As the image associated with this episode shows, the sound of Dr. Hood's singing bowl symphony is accompanied by what she calls a "Healing Grid" created specifically for this recording. It consists of the following stones (and I hope I got this right because I am no specialist in fancy stones but just took quick notes while Brenda was explaining it to me):

• Pink Himalayan healer quartz (top left corner), for healing
• Green phantom quartz (top right corner), for communication
• Labradorite (center stone in the very middle of the wooden structure), for processing, as the dark side of the moon
• Tangerine quartz (top, left, and right sides of the wooden structure), for trauma
• Lepidolite (large stone on the bottom corner of the structure), for calmness
• Pyrite (below this bottom corner, on the cloth), for protection and bountifulness
• K2 Jasper (three stones underneath the Pyrite), for protection and trust.

The healing grid is arranged on a rose pink cloth to echo love throughout the entire soundbath. The singing bowls are antiques from Brenda's personal collection, dating back as far as the seventeenth century. In Brenda's words, the sound produced by her bowls is filtered through all the healing vibrations of the stones in the Healing Grid, to create a certain energy to send out into the world.

It is Brenda's and my desire that this offering may bring healing and a moment of peace to as many people as possible. Please feel free to share this recording with anybody who you think may benefit from it, whether they are a fellow practitioner of Chinese medicine or your patients or community.

May you find some peace, love, rest, and support!
