So I was teaching basic phonetics.

You know, this sound, the A sound is ah.

And one of the students raised their hand and said, Miss A, I don't like that sound.

And I said, why?

And they said, when I say ah, it opens my heart and I've got all this pain in my heart and I don't want to look at it.

That's pretty deep.

My kids were very smart by what their old teachers may have said about them.

And I said, okay, let's just stay with it.

Instead of running away from it, let's just stay with it for a moment and keep bringing that sound into the heart and watch.

We now know research-wise that sound has a vibration and that vibration has an effect on our vibration.

Those hurts and pains are at a lower vibration.

As we say sacred sound, an ah sound,

It's one of those sacred sounds.

As we say sacred sound, it's raising the vibration.

And that's why when we take a big sigh, right?

Feel a release.

That's the start of the healing process.

That's right.

For me, it's not a matter of getting past the feeling.

It's holding the feeling in a completion.
