A Note
From "The Chantdoc" |
June promises to be a busy, busy month! I'll be
doing a free toning and chanting class every Saturday afternoon for
those who live in the Louisville, KY area in preparation for the
National Speakers Association convention in San Diego, where I have
been asked to teach the technique of vocal toning for an assembled
crowd of 2000+.

Thoughts of My Father on Father's Day |
I loved my Father dearly. I'm sure I was a classic "Daddy's
Girl" because growing up, I wanted to be just like Daddy. My
father loved music and was always extremely proud of my musical
ability. He often would lie on the couch on Sunday afternoons
and listen to me play the piano for hours on end. He used to say
that the could "just float right up to Heaven" listening to me
play the piano.
On this Father's Day I'd like to offer you a very special
opportunity to get your father, grandfather, husband or brother
a great package of healing music and healing music products.
These are downloads that require no musical background or
knowledge of music. Just put them on or download them, lean back
and enjoy!

Music Focus: Music for Surgery |
It seems that the logical focus this month would be
lullabies. For thousands of years women have sung to their
infants and lulled them to sleep. The fact is, it is probably
equally pleasurable to mother and child. When I go out to speak
around the country and around the planet I always love to hear the
stories that audiences tell about the lullabies their mothers sang to
them and the wonderful, positive effect it had on their lives.
Not surprisingly the concept of mother's singing to their unborn
children has been studied and researched extensively. The
research documents the powerful bonding that takes place between
mother and child when the mother sings from about the second trimester
of pregnancy on through childhood. MY youngest daughter, up til
age twelve or so would ask be to sit beside her bed and sing to her.
I have wonderful memories of my father singing with my sister and me
at bedtime, sometimes the songs he had learned in the Army. We
thought it was great fun, if not particularly sleep-inducing.
Lullabies, nursery
rhymes and songs in children create powerfully good memories in
children and adults and make as good an heirloom as any piece of
jewelry or furniture. They don't have to be insured and never
need polishing or cleaning! Singing lullabies and other songs is
a wonderful inter-generational activity. Children are hungry
just to have the undivided attention of an adult. So sing to
your baby, sing with your children and grandchildren! It's free
and creates vibrations of healing love.
