In a world that never stops talking, your mind can often feel like an overcrowded room. If you are struggling with anxiety, you know that the "noise" isn't just external; it's a persistent, jagged frequency within your own body.

Sound is the invisible fabric of the universe, a living vibration that shapes energy and matter.Every rhythm, from the hum of a bee to the heartbeat within your chest, carries intelligence and resonance.

When that goes on long enough, the body tightens. The breath shortens. The nervous system stays braced for impact, even when nothing is immediately wrong. This is why practices that help us reinhabit the body and soothe the nervous system can feel so powerful. They remind us we don't have to live in a state of tension. We can soften. We can ground. We can exhale. That's what draws me to this upcoming Omega workshop, Sound as Medicine: A Healing Journey, with sound healer and guide Phyllicia Victoria.
