Thomas Orr Anderson was the very first guest on the Sounds Heal Podcast when it launched in 2019, and he’s returned a couple of times since. An author, musician, physicist, and sound researcher, Thomas brings together science, contemplative practice, music, and the study of attention. In this conversation, Thomas shares the journey behind his two latest books, Silent Center: Zero Lessons on Zen and Living Tao Te Ching. We explore how the Tao entered his life and how his understanding has evolved through nature, personal adventures, and the teachers who have influenced him. We discuss Taoist concepts such as Wu Wei, often understood as not-doing or effortless action, and the difference between understanding something intellectually and living it through direct experience. We also explore how these teachings relate to sound healing, including the importance of listening, silence, stillness, and allowing rather than forcing an outcome. Thomas reflects on the challenge of putting the Tao into words when its essential nature cannot truly be expressed through language alone. His books offer different invitations to explore this mystery: Silent Center through playful koans and observations, and Living Tao Te Ching through a contemporary English translation of Lao Tzu’s classic text. A conversation about living what we learn, listening more deeply, and bringing the wisdom of practice into our work and everyday lives. https://thomasorranderson.com/ Thomas’s books: Silent Center: Zero Lessons on Zen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G193TDNL?lv=shuf&language=he&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Living Tao Te Ching https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HHKV7P6C?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: [email protected] Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yAThe Healing Harp: Sound Healing, Music Therapy & Spirituality with Sophia Wisdom

Sophia Wisdom is a harpist, music therapist, teacher, and founder of Wisdom Harps, a community and online learning platform created to make the harp more accessible to people around the world. Her relationship with the harp began in Ireland and has grown through years of musical study, music therapy, teaching, spiritual practice, and therapeutic work. Sophia shares how her understanding of the harp evolved through her music therapy training and her experiences bringing the instrument into therapeutic and bedside settings, including working with people who have experienced trauma. She explores the particular qualities of the harp that make it such a distinctive instrument for therapeutic work and what music can offer when words aren't enough. Our conversation also explores the relationship between what we can understand about music through neuroscience and music therapy and the aspects of musical experience that are more difficult to measure, including presence, beauty, emotion, and connection. Sophia talks about creating Wisdom Harps to make the instrument more accessible, building an online community for people learning to play, and the different ways people are drawn to the harp beyond performance. We also talk about her experiences sharing music across cultures and her understanding of the relationship between music, spirituality, prayer, and healing. Throughout our conversation, Sophia plays the harp and demonstrates several different styles, giving us an opportunity to experience the instrument as well as hear her speak about it. A thoughtful conversation about the healing harp, sound healing, music therapy, spirituality, and the many ways music can connect us with ourselves and one another. https://www.wisdomharps.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sophiawisdomharps/ Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: [email protected] Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yAHealing Through Music: Layla Minoui’s Journey to Rebirth

Layla Minoui is an acclaimed film and television composer whose work has included projects with Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix, and other major productions. Following a cancer diagnosis, her relationship with music shifted in profound ways. During treatment, she began improvising at the piano, creating music as a way to process her experience and navigate her own healing journey. Those improvisations eventually became Journey to Rebirth, an immersive musical experience inviting listeners into reflection, journaling, embodied practices, and intentional listening. Layla shares how moving from composing for other people's stories to creating from her own lived experience changed her relationship with music and creativity. She explores the role music played during treatment, the evolution of those intimate piano improvisations into Journey to Rebirth, and her understanding of healing as an ongoing practice rather than a destination. The conversation also explores what music can offer that words sometimes cannot, the importance of slowing down and creating space for stillness and deep listening, and the ways our cultural backgrounds can shape how we experience and create music. Layla discusses her Iranian-American heritage, her studies in Expressive Arts Coaching and Community Building, and her vision for bringing music and creative experiences into hospitals, schools, and wellness settings. A thoughtful conversation about music, creativity, healing, transformation, and the power of listening. https://www.journeytorebirthmusic.com/ Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: [email protected] Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yAAJ Block on Didgeridoo, Sound Healing, Breathwork & Wellness

AJ Block is a didgeridoo teacher, performer, sound practitioner, and director of Didge Project, where he teaches the instrument through rhythm, breath, circular breathing, improvisation, and musical exploration. A multi-instrumentalist with a background spanning jazz, Western classical music, Indian classical music, and world percussion, AJ brings a broad musical perspective to his work with the didgeridoo. In this episode, AJ shares his journey with the didgeridoo, from discovering the instrument and exploring its ancient origins to developing a deeply expressive approach that incorporates rhythm, voice, breath, and improvisation. He also plays and demonstrates the didgeridoo throughout the conversation, offering tips, techniques, and practical ways to get started with the instrument. We explore the didgeridoo in musical, therapeutic, and sound healing settings, including its use in sound baths, shamanic sound journeys, addiction recovery, and prisons. AJ discusses circular breathing, what it takes to develop this technique, and some of the foundational ways to begin exploring the didgeridoo.

Bear Love is an internationally respected gong practitioner, educator, instrument innovator, and the founder of B Love Sacred Sound. Based in the mountains of West Wales, he is best known for developing the B Love Flumies®, innovative friction mallets that have expanded the sonic possibilities of the gong by revealing rich harmonic textures, sustained tones, and previously unexplored sonic landscapes. Rooted in years of exploration and deep listening, Bear's work invites people beyond simply hearing sound and into an immersive relationship with vibration itself. His approach emphasizes presence, sensitivity, and the subtle interplay between sound and silence, encouraging practitioners to cultivate not only technical skill but a profound quality of awareness and discernment. In this episode, we explore Bear's journey into sound and the experiences that shaped his understanding of vibration and spirit, his enduring relationship with the gong, and the inspiration behind the development of the B Love Flumies®. We also discuss the distinction between listening to sound and entering into sound, the inner landscape that can emerge during immersive sound journeys, the role of silence in practice and teaching, and what he believes is essential for practitioners to embody as the field of sound work continues to evolve. Whether you're a sound practitioner, musician, gong player, or simply curious about the transformative potential of immersive sound, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into the art of deep listening and the ever-unfolding possibilities of vibration. https://www.blovesacredsound.co.uk/ Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: [email protected] Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yA This episode of Sounds Heal Podcast is sponsored by Crystal Tones, creators of the original Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls®.

After her first strike of a singing bowl in 2019, Monica Mullen has been driven by a “magnetic pull” in her soul to Follow the Sound. She has devoted her life to learning, practicing, and teaching, studying under many prominent sound luminaries. Her practice integrates aspects of Vibrational Radiesthesia and Spirit Science, allowing her to use sound as a tool for spiritual growth and finding inner harmony. A full-time practitioner since 2021, she also serves as Assistant Director and Senior Adjunct Instructor at the Soundwise School of Harmonic Therapy in Lancaster, PA, alongside founder Lana Ryder. Monica has completed numerous trainings with skilled teachers such as Alexandre Tannous, David Shemesh, Mitch Nur, Guy Beider, Mike Tamburo, Michael Bettine, and Thomas Orr Anderson, additionally assisting with trainings and events for some of those mentioned. She teaches Sound and Practitioner Energetics locally and regionally, while also offering private and group therapeutic sound sessions and hosting retreats and weekend workshops. Ever evolving, Monica is formulating Sound Mentorship programs. Beyond studying sound, she has expanded her studies into the realms of Vibrational Radiesthesia, BioGeometry, and Spirit Science with the late Dr. Robert Gilbert. She considers herself a Disciple of Vibration. Her mission includes teaching the contextual and skillful use of instruments, which starts with tuning oneself as the Instrument of Consciousness through heart centered practices, deep listening skills, attention honing, and the development of virtue. Using Sound as the Call to gather others to connect, reflect, and align with the Divine, she encourages others to harness and direct their creative power as Vibrational Architects to Further the Kingdom of Love. Monica’s own creative nature explores making mallets and instruments when she cannot find the sound she is looking for. She smells flowers in her spare time and loves eating fruit, cloud watching, and delving deep into mysteries. https://www.monicajmullen.com/ https://www.instagram.com/monica.j.mullen/ https://www.facebook.com/monica.joan Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: [email protected] Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yABioAcoustic Biology & Sound Healing with Sharry Edwards: Voice Frequency Analysis for Wellness

Sharry Edwards, M.Ed., is a pioneer in BioAcoustic Biology, a field she developed through decades of research into how the human voice relates to patterns in the body and its applications in sound healing and wellness. She created Voice Spectral Analysis and Vocal Profiling—systems that explore how vocal frequency patterns may reflect internal states such as stress, imbalance, and overall physiological patterns. Her work examines how these frequencies can be analyzed to identify patterns in the human system and, in some cases, paired with sound healing and wellness-based approaches. Founder of the Sound Health Research Institute, Edwards has led research, training, and software development in BioAcoustic Biology for over 30 years. Her work is recognized within integrative health, sound healing, and frequency-based wellness communities. At the core of her research is the idea that the voice may function as a holographic representation of the body, offering insight into patterns of balance and imbalance through sound and vibration. Her work bridges sound healing, science, and holistic wellness—bringing together intuitive observation and quantitative approaches to explore the human voice as a source of frequency-based information. https://www.bioacousticsolutions.net/ https://www.soundhealthportal.com/ https://soundhealthoptions.com/ Email: [email protected] Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: [email protected] Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yASound Healing with Celtic Tradition: Carmel Diviney on Land, Lineage & Vibration

Carmel Diviney is the founder of the Celtic School of Sound Healing, where she teaches an approach to sound, voice, and vibrational practice rooted in Celtic spiritual traditions, land-based wisdom, and contemporary sound work. Her work is informed by a lifelong exploration of music, voice, and spiritual practice, alongside a deep connection to Celtic heritage and the living landscape.

Through her teaching, Carmel integrates vocal toning, chant, and embodied sound practices, guiding students to reconnect with their own voice as a tool for presence, expression, and inner listening. Her approach emphasizes both technical skill and inner development, inviting practitioners into a more grounded and ethical relationship with sound work. She is the founder of the Celtic School of Sound Healing, a training space dedicated to preserving and evolving Celtic-inspired sound traditions in a way that is accessible and relevant in contemporary practice. Her work also engages with questions of lineage, cultural integrity, and responsibility within the growing field of sound-based practices.

In 1983, he founded Acoustic Brain Research (ABR), an organization dedicated to studying how sound, music, and language influence brain states, creativity, and psychological transformation. His early work combined clinical psychology with emerging research in neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, and auditory entrainment, which later became the foundation for his sound-based meditation work. Over time, Kenyon developed a large body of recordings, teachings, and live workshops centered on the use of voice, toning, and psychoacoustic sound as tools for shifting awareness and facilitating inner experience. His work expanded into writings and publications on sound, consciousness, and perception, including explorations of interdimensional awareness and what he describes as expanded states of cognition accessed through acoustic entrainment. He is the author of Brain States, Mind Thieves, and co-author of The Hathor Material, which introduced a body of channeled teachings he reports receiving from non-physical intelligences known as the Hathors. His published work extends beyond these core titles to include additional books and co-authored works within his broader body of psychoacoustic and consciousness-based teachings. His work is often integrated into intensive seminars and experiential sound journeys offered internationally. https://tomkenyon.com/ Provided by and with permission from Tom Kenyon, this episode features musical excerpts throughout the conversation. The Cave of Altruin is a Hathor track created entirely from Tom Kenyon’s voice through multitracking. At the end of the episode, you’ll also hear the full piece Hymn to the Earth, which offers an example of his use of overtones within composition.

Don Reed Simmons is a mystic, shamanic practitioner, meditation teacher, and pioneer in the modern sound therapy movement whose life’s work explores how vibration awakens kindness, compassion, and peace. Raised on a farm in small-town Mississippi, Don’s earliest memories are rooted in sound: the mooing of cows at dawn, the wind moving through trees, the subtle hum of the natural world. It was sound that first soothed him during a life-threatening hospital experience in his early twenties, planting a seed that would later become his life’s calling. After years in radio and a long career in film production in New York and Los Angeles, Don experienced a profound turning point. A near-death experience while scuba diving in Hawaii and later recognized by a shamanic teacher as a rite of passage. This opened him to a deeper understanding of resonance, spirit, and the unseen dimensions of healing. Since then, he has worked with thousands of individuals across the globe, integrating shamanism, meditation, hypnosis, and numerology with therapeutic sound. As a longtime President of the International Sound Therapy Association (ISTA), Don helped train and mentor hundreds of practitioners while bringing sacred sound into hospitals, hospice centers, trauma recovery programs, and spiritual communities. A lifelong meditator who has studied with masters such as Thich Nhat Hanh and Jon Kabat-Zinn, Don teaches that sound is more than technique, it is relationship. It is coherence. It is a remembrance. His work invites people to experience joy and well-being, not as an emotion to chase, but as a state of resonance we return to when body, mind, and spirit are in harmony. At heart, Don remains a mystic devoted to one simple truth: when we listen deeply healing begins. https://www.donreedsimmons.com/ https://www.themindfulsociety.com/ Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yA Email: [email protected]Sounds Heal Podcast with Born I and Natalie Brown

John Minks is a gifted musician with over 15 years of exploring and studying the healing power of sound. John’s first experience with sound healing was in Amsterdam in 2006. Since then, his tone quest has taken him from the Brazilian rainforest to the islands of Hawai’i and beyond. He began his study of the didgeridoo while in the jungles of Brazil in 2007. John has also studied guitar for the past 10 years and has extensive experience in its healing power with plant medicines. John has attended and spoken at Sage Sound Academy and has attended gong workshops with Don Conreaux and 9 Ways Academy. John has compiled his array of knowledge to offer a truly unique sound experience. More than a sound bath, his sessions are more of a molecular massage with sound. Clients are taken on an astral journey using a mix of indigenous and modern instruments. John offers sound baths at a variety of locations in the Hudson Valley and New York City. In addition to the didgeridoo and gong, John’s instruments include chimes, flutes, khomus, Tibetan singing bowls, shruti box, handpan, tuning forks, among others. https://deepspacesound.life/ https://www.instagram.com/deep_space_sound/ Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio email: [email protected] Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yASounds Heal Podcast with Kirsten Agresta Copely & Natalie Brown

Richard Cooke is a Grammy Award–winning musician, instrument designer, and innovator, best known as the founder of Freenotes Company (1991). Early in his musical life, he played flute and explored improvisation and intuitive approaches to sound, which shaped his belief that anyone can make beautiful music. A pivotal moment came during a retreat with Paul Winter’s consort, which inspired him to focus on creating instruments and experiences that make music accessible to all. Cooke developed Freenotes instruments based on the principle “Beautiful Music Made Simple”—intuitively tuned percussion and melodic instruments that allow anyone to play without fear of wrong notes. His work expanded into Freenotes Harmony Park, bringing outdoor, playable sound installations to parks, schools, and public spaces, creating communal experiences where music fosters connection and joy. He also contributed to the restoration and recreation of instruments by Lou Harrison, preserving and extending the life of these unique creations. Today, Richard continues to design and consult on instruments, installations, and sound-spaces that encourage play, healing, and community engagement. Guided by the philosophy that sound can unite, transform, and inspire, he invites people of all ages and backgrounds to explore the joy of making music together.
