Sound Advice

WELCOME EVERYONE! My name is Barry Goldstein and I will be your vibrational guide in this new column. I am so excited to be part of the PlanetLightworker family!

Each month we will give our readers tools to move through existing blocks using sound, vibration and music. When we talk about "Sound Healing" very often we envision this occurring in our physical bodies through the use of music, toning or vibrational healing tools such as tuning forks and crystal bowls. Although healings do occur in the physical through the use of sound and vibrational tools, it is important to also address our emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. Long-term blockages in these areas often lead to a lack of flow or Dis-ease in our physical bodies.

So how can we empower ourselves as individuals to use sound to create an energetic flow with ease? We as human beings are unique instruments constantly changing our vibrations on a daily basis. Our words combined with the intention behind them are very powerful in creating shifts in our energetic flow. Using certain words on a consistent basis can create energetic blocks and can even have a negative effect on us physically. By replacing a lower vibratory word with a word that carries a higher vibration we can create a shift in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.

For example, let's use the word try. This is a word that many of us use in our daily lives.

"I am really trying to get out of financial debt". When we hear the word try or trying what do we visualize? I see someone who is using a lot of energy to complete something.

Someone who is undergoing a laborious task. The word itself feels heavy. When I close my eyes I envision someone climbing a mountain and "Trying" to get to the top. Can you feel the weight that the word trying manifests? What if we replaced the word trying with the word creating? When we use this word we tap into the creator energy, the field of unlimited possibilities the energy of being creative!!! Instead of - "I am really trying to get out of financial debt" we can shift that to - "I am creating financial freedom"

Create this experience with a friend. Communicate to them that you are creating an energetic shift by replacing the word try with the word create. By allowing them to red flag your lower vibrating word "try" you will create the space for your new higher vibratory word "create' to anchor. Make it fun!!

Envision

Envision... new Sound Healers, Global Musicians and Visionaries shifting the consciousness through sound! Each month we will feature at least two new visionaries that are sharing their gift of sound with the world. Envision is truly being immersed in vision. These individuals with their unique and innovative approaches are changing the world and shifting the paradigm of how we share music!

So often I hear musicians voicing their concerns of "The Music Business". Music does not = the music business. Music is a gift that we are given from God. There are many ways to share this gift with others. As musicians we can empower ourselves to share our music in new and innovative ways and move out of the victim mode. By shifting our focus to the business of sharing our music and out of "The Music Business" we attract the necessary community and spiritual teams to be heard and appreciated. Our first "Invisionary" this week is Scott Johnson from the Positive Music Association.

Scott Johnson - The Positive Music Association
How many times have you pondered when there would be a genre of music that would truly touch the human spirit, something positive yet not preachy, uplifting but not sugarcoated, inspiring but not necessarily religious? Well it's here! Arriving on the wings of innovation from founder Scott Johnson, the Positive Music Association has created the new genre POZ Music!! Poz music, short for positive music, is a new genre that is leading the way for healthier, more constructive conversations in media. Using the universal language of music, Poz distinguishes itself mainly through its lyrics and intent.

Songs are like mantras. When we hear things over and over again, we begin to experience those messages and feelings in our own lives. We're all feeling like we want to experience more peace, more purpose and more connection to the world around us and POZ music takes us there!

The PMA is about seeing music not only as entertainment but also as a means of creating positive change in the world and they encourage artistic integrity and social responsibility! The musical styles or genres that the PMA spans are incredible ranging from pop, rock, ambient, folk, dance, electronica, r and b and rap. Joining the Positive Music Association is very easy just go to the address listed below and for a $35.00 yearly fee you can join the "Poz" community. Scott sends out monthly newsletters linking the members to other organizations that can assist them and also provides marketing tools that take their music to the next level. Whether you are looking for a breath of new fresh music or looking to get your message out there, PMA is a great way to go! So check out some PMA at www.positivemusicassociation.com.
