There is a sanctuary of peace and well-being that lives inside you. Have you forgotten it’s there? Every September, as summer’s gentle rhythm gives way to the faster pace of school, work, and daily responsibilities, stress levels begin to rise.
Here’s something startling: Studies show that in North America, 80–90% of all doctor visits are related to stress. Yet only 3% of those visits were because patients identified stress as the problem. That means roughly 95% of people suffering from stress-related conditions don’t even realize how deeply stress is impacting them.
The real issue is disconnection. Disconnection from our bodies, our inner wisdom, and often, from each other.
And here’s the good news: You already have that deep inner connection. You can’t lose it—it’s as much a part of you as your breath or your heartbeat.
The only problem is… we forget. Stress feeds that forgetfulness.
But the moment you choose to reconnect, you dissolve stress and invite serenity back in.
Harmony Moments – Shifting Quickly
How do you know when you’re connected with your soul or essence? You feel it in peace, joy, wonder, compassion, love, or even those moments of happiness for no reason at all.
Here are simple Harmony Moments you can create in less than a minute:
Take 5 slow, deep breaths.- Hum a favorite tune.
- Strike a Tibetan singing bowl and let the sound reset your body’s natural harmony. Check out our “Meditations with the Ancients (ancient Tibetan bowls)” playlist here: https://youtu.be/fJxO8s0fBhM
- Sigh out loud—two or three times—to trigger relaxation.
- Listen to the resonance of Perfect 5th tuning forks. Listen for free here: https://swstore.soundwellness.com/products.php?cat=Free+Downloads
- Sing “ahhhhh” while focusing on gratitude.
- Smell a flower.
- Stand barefoot in the grass and feel the earth beneath you.
Keep your own list of favorites—written down or tucked in memory—and call on them whenever overwhelm begins to creep in.
A Long-Term Solution
Short fixes are powerful, but lasting peace requires deeper tools. Over the years, I’ve explored countless practices, but one of the most effortless and transformative has been sound. The right sound for you is a deep inner connector.
As Janice Kobelsky, a Sound Wellness Fundamentals participant, beautifully shared:
“The Sound Wellness program I took with Sharon and Ed, now 7 years ago, was—and still is—the most effortless way I found to massively increase wellbeing and reduce both inner and outer stress, with all the health benefits that go with that. Ever grateful!”
Stressful situations will always be part of our world. What matters is how we meet them. The right sound or music can:
- Create relaxation
- Reduce or eliminate pain
- Boost immunity
- Ease depression
- Dissolve emotional blocks
- Stimulate your natural healing ability
- Accelerate growth in consciousness
- Restore peace—and more
