Awakening to Love: Ellen Weir’s Afterlife Wisdom and Transformative Power of Music
When Ellen, a music therapist and spiritual coach, encountered a near-death experience involving Jesus and Buddha on a pink cloud raft, her life transformed in unexpected ways. During our conversation, she reveals how this mystical event ignited her spiritual mission and influenced her book, "Waking Up in Heaven." Ellen's journey emphasizes the remarkable impact of sound and music therapy in healing, with insights that blend both spirituality and science to promote physical and cellular rejuvenation.
Another fascinating story comes from a practitioner trained at Naropa University, who shares their own profound near-death encounter that reinforced their sense of purpose. This experience became a catalyst for their involvement in a spiritual documentary and highlighted the power of music in healing. Through the Bonnie Method and transpersonal psychology, they create transformative journeys for clients, using classical music to unlock altered states of consciousness, akin to the effects of LSD, leading to groundbreaking shifts in perception during intensive sessions.
In our exploration of energy and spirituality, Ellen discusses a variety of techniques, including visualization, color, and sound, to help individuals connect with their higher selves.
Her teachings encourage embracing life's challenges as opportunities to connect with a higher presence, with music and sound serving as a powerful pathway to spiritual healing and discovery.
Through these conversations, we uncover how aligning with source energy allows for co-creation of reality and the experience of miracles, offering listeners a roadmap to rediscovering their spiritual journey through the transformative power of music.

She is also the author of Waking Up in Heaven Living with Purpose through Afterlife Wisdom. Ellen, thank you so much for coming on the Spiritual Spotlight Series. I'm so happy you're here. I'm happy to be here. Thank you so much, so let's just jump right in. So your near-death experience is incredibly profound. Can you maybe describe what it felt like to be on a pink raft with Jesus and Buddha, and how did that experience shape your understanding of spirituality?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the the raft was more wooden but the clouds were pink and it was kind of. I tried to describe it for my book so I had to depict it here. Oh, that's cool. You know, for me the whole experience of the other side was an experience. It was a feeling. I felt loved, I felt protected, I didn't feel any fear and I recognized Jesus in front of me. And I didn't know who Buddha was really until later. I just recognized him as a bald man with long brown robes and bare feet. That I felt comfortable, almost like a grandfather energy. And then Jesus was pure love, you know, just felt that pure love. So I learned who Buddha was later in life when I followed my path to heal people through music. And that's how it happens.
Speaker 1:I love that. So let's talk about we're going to shift and, I guess, talk about your book, because you already brought it up and I love that. So you describe waking up in heaven as both a memoir and a practical guide. So how do you hope that readers will use spiritual exercises and the high frequency techniques that you've included to transform their lives?
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, that's such a great question.
Speaker 2:I I actually got a message from a colleague yesterday who's reading the book for the first time and she said that she just feels the love emanating from the pages and for me that is the greatest gift that I that I can give through my words and my experience of spiritual love and connection and the other side and all the messages that have come through in my life. So, just like her, she would stop at each chapter, she would read it during lunch and do the practice and she felt the practice just connected her more fully to her presence. And that's the goal of everything that I do is to help the reader or the client or the group connect with their presence, get messages directly from the other side for themselves. So they don't have to take my word for it, that they know for a fact that there is love on the other side for us and that they can access it directly. So that's what these. Each lesson is a different experience of using my life experience and then channeling that information for themselves.
Speaker 1:So I think that's such a beautiful message about how your friend reached out to you and just felt the love coming from the pages that you wrote that you channeled. I mean, I feel like as a spiritual practitioner and also a sound healer, I don't think people realize the beauty of the frequency healing that's coming through and things that you're providing to people, and just to be able to feel that energy. You're also an you know, proclaimed energy healer Like. Can you maybe share a little bit of light on why, like sound healing, energy healing like it's such a amazing modality of healing for people that they don't realize.
Speaker 2:I'll speak to it on a spiritual side and the scientific side. So, on the spiritual side, the way that it was shown to me is that everything is vibration and the vibration of source is so large that it's almost as if we are. It is definitely as if we are needed to create smaller vibrations through creativity, through art, through cooking, through communication, through music and all of these things that create smaller vibrations that extend and expand the universe. That's how it was shown to me. This loving, greater vibration of source is always accessible and we are needed to expand that energy.
Speaker 2:On a scientific level, I'm a board certified music therapist as well as a sound healer. I have a master's in music therapy and I have a master's in transpersonal counseling psychology, knowing that we are all vibration and how vibration can increase nitric oxide in the blood. How it can decrease cortisol. How music, structured sound, can organize and regulate the heartbeat and breathing. How, even in people in Parkinson's who shuffle their feet, if you match a beat to their footsteps they can actually lift their feet better. How music can bypass the part of the brain that causes people to stutter Like all of these studies are out there and have been for decades.
Speaker 2:There's science behind all of it. There's even evidence to show that music, when played upon blood that's been drawn from the body in a sound chamber with no other stimuli, no other light or anything, that those blood cells stay alive to the point where they almost look like it's just been drawn, whereas the exact same blood sample in a sound, free void of sound, void of light, dies completely. And then the studies of cymatics where we show that different sound vibrations can create geometric shapes and patterns on plates right that vibrate. Just imagine what it's doing for our cell, within us. And you know I've been studying a long time about sound waves and I teach people how to use singing bowls and different sound practices in order to activate different responses and induce different spiritual responses in the body and bridge that with the transpersonal realm of spiritual psychology.
Speaker 2:But one thing that's fascinating is if you have two very similar frequencies that are moving into each ear, you create a third tone within the brain. This tone is known as brainwave entrainment. It can be known as binaural beats. When you have the binaural beats, that those frequencies work against each other and create something, those are all the first steps towards out of body experiences and astral projection. All this was studied by the Monroe Institute in the 80s and 90s and the gateway project was declassified by the CIA in the 90s. I've looked at that for a long time. I'm fascinated with that, and also as a student of the Gate Project. You know a person, a child, who'd been identified as having gifts before my head injury and then being in that program after the head injury and learning how to use my brain for altered states of knowing, along with what I received on the other side. Yeah, the science is there. I mean, it is just a matter of time before the world knows about it.
Speaker 1:I love that. I love that. That's amazing. You brought up so many like valid points about like frequency healing, sound healing, and just I love that you've also combined the spiritual aspect with the science aspect of it, Cause a lot of people get stuck and then, well, it's woo, woo, but no, really they're science that backs it up. Not only is it science.
Speaker 2:It's well studied science. I mean there are studies by the government that have been happening long before you even knew about astral projection out of body experiences, remote viewing, and then even some military people are coming forward now. If you're on Instagram, you might have seen videos from military. You know high level military officers that were identified through the gifted and talented program when they were in middle school as having psychic abilities and now work for the government. One woman she's in the Navy. She was talking about how she was identified as being able to put her hand over mechanics and be able to tell what was wrong with them and then develop that skill in her training through the military. But this has been happening a long time. Maybe people don't realize how powerful their brain really is.
Speaker 1:So true. Oh, my goodness, that could be a whole nother topic in and of itself. For sure, one of the things that I found fascinating about your near death experience was that you mentioned being given the choice to stay in a place of complete love or return to life. How did you decide to come back, and how has that choice influenced your life and work?
Speaker 2:Oh, wow. It will influence everything. Everything that I do in this life has to match the energy that I felt the other side and to have the courage to stay with that love. But you know, I was a childhood near-death experiencer. I was 12. I was kicked in the head by a horse After I went into the light, the golden realm, which is where I came back to stand in front of Jesus, and he communicated through his thoughts about whether I wanted to stay or go.
Speaker 2:I had no human concept at all by the time. I had been in the light, I had become the light, I had become unconditional love. There was no right or wrong to my answer. I could have chosen either way and it would have been right. So I made the choice on a soul level, not a human level, and I really like to differentiate that because, you know, people like to see it through the human lens. It really wasn't a choice made, in that.
Speaker 2:I've since come to know that I've lived through multiple lifetimes where I have died of a head injury and this is the life where I've come back to teach people through this survival. And I chose that. My soul chose that, and what's interesting about it is when I made the choice, I had no feeling attached, no human concept at all. Before that, I was shown the trajectory of my father's life and what it would be like if I chose to stay on the other side, but it didn't influence me in the way it would influence a human.
Speaker 2:My soul chose to live and it was in that moment that I was flooded with gratitude. I get to live right, and that's when the human came back and I knew it was a gift to live. I knew that it was not something everyone gets to do, that we create our reality. All these things came flooding to me, all these messages, and I just vowed. In that moment I said in my mind I will go back and I will heal people with music. I vowed to go back and heal people with music, and not just that. The second vow was I will give thanks every day for every experience on this planet, no matter what, because I know it's a lesson, an opportunity to grow. I know it's a gift.
Speaker 1:I love that you're still so. You're still so, like, emotionally connected to this moment.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because when I speak of it, I remember and that feeling of gratitude was not a conscious thing, it was an expansion I felt within my heart like just this heat, just this gratitude, and as I lived through the human experience and I see what's, you know, I've had experiences I share them in my book that I've gone through in my life. They haven't been easy, you know chronic illness, divorce, like different types of ego death. Ego death through career, through finances, through legal, through, you know, a family, like all of these things have been an opportunity to bring me back to that. So it's, it's everything that I do. And even in the world right now, where people are confused and there's a lot going on and it's not an easy time to be alive, that message comes through so much more clearly.
Speaker 1:I love that. Now let me ask you this Since you've had this near-death experience from when you were 12 years old, do you still have connections with Jesus and Buddha, even to this day?
Speaker 2:Yeah, daily, Like I receive messages constantly about the world and I talk about that in my book, how to increase intuitive ability. I just did a meditation, which I do every Wednesday, right before we got on this call where downloads come through about what's happening in the world. And then these downloads of light where people get, I see rays of light coming through. There are different colors. The different colors have different meanings to me. I get to witness when my clients have, you know, Jesus or Archangel Michael or loved ones come through. I see it too. Or loved ones come through, I see it too. And I do call upon Ascended Master Jesus in my work and that unconditional love and Buddha brought me the how, you know, how do I help people access that same light? So, yeah, constantly, always with me in this work and with all of us, like the every ascended master that ever was and ever shall be is also within us. We are that God presence.
Speaker 1:I love that you're still connected to that profound moment in your life and, and even though that you've gone through you know very difficult situations like you said, you've had financial issues, divorce and probably loss of you know family members and things like that that you still remain grateful and being grateful is such a powerful tool and I guess maybe you can shed some light on why that is so important.
Speaker 2:Well, to me, gratitude is the closest feeling that I felt to that love on the other side and I I will never forget it. I say that and I hope that that's so true, you know, and I am grateful that I remember it so beautifully, because it was more real than anything I've experienced on this plane. More real, that was the reality. This feels like the illusion, this feels small compared to that, and gratitude is the closest I've ever come. And you know, I continue to go through things. I mean, I was recently married and it was a beautiful, sacred ceremony that my husband had a head injury and he forgot like he forgot us and he forgot who he was. And holding that vision and I haven't really spoken about it because we're still in it, we're still healing, but like holding that vision and love for what I know to be true, and that faith and that gratitude, like every day, has been another part of my grounding presence, like to get through the last three months even so, yeah, it's, it's a practice, it's a practice, that's okay.
Speaker 1:That's scary, that's so scary, like having a traumatic brain injury. Like wow, I'm, I'm, wow, I really hope he's okay and I commend you for being able to go through that and share that vulnerability about like, look, this has happened and I'm yet still remaining grateful for the things that are coming into my life.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, absolutely. And it's all unfolding now the spiritual meaning of. I think it'll be my next book, actually our next book, because like holding that vision through this, yeah, wow, oh.
Speaker 1:I can't wait for your next book, oh my goodness. So your documentary that you were featured in beyond the grave explores profound spiritual themes. How did your own near death experience influence your contributions to this film?
Speaker 2:Well, I was brought in to share my near-death experience, which?
Speaker 1:is so cool. The video is very fascinating.
Speaker 2:I love it. I loved being part of that project and I'm actually planning some future projects with some of the people that were in that documentary that are doing more work, more film and stuff like that. It absolutely influenced the film. I feel like my story is one that is meant to be shared. I think I came back for a reason. I think I came back for a reason. I know I came back for a reason and if anything resonates for even one person in hearing it, that's the point of all of it.
Speaker 1:You know Love that. So, as a music and imagery practitioner, how do you use guided imagery alongside music to help clients access deeper parts of themselves?
Speaker 2:Oh, it's so cool. So I work with, I teach people how to do this, but I work with body resonance and toning. I work with intention. Obviously we use the binaural beats, brainwave entrainment to move into theta brainwave states and altered states, and then, when the classical music starts, it's really very amazing. I use a program called the Bonnie Method kind of inspired by the Bonnie Method of guided imagery and music, which is a very specialized training in altered states of consciousness.
Speaker 2:Now, the school that I went to, naropa University, is a Buddhist university, and I didn't. It just happened that it was a Buddhist university and when I was walking up to meditation one of the first weeks of class I saw a depiction of Buddha that matched the man who was next to me on the raft. But I chose the program because my dad said if you're going into music therapy, I'd like for you to have a backup degree and they had a dual master's in psychology and music therapy. They were one of two universities that had that. So I was just drawn there and I realized I think even in my admission letter that Buddha was likely the energy that was there with me. Even though he didn't look like the big belly Buddha, he was thin in my, in my near death experience and and I want to share how I woke up from the coma too, because that part is really fascinating, because that's like well, but but yeah, so I I don't even know where I was going with that, but this whole experience where was?
Speaker 1:I going I'm like about waking up from the coma and about how you guide your clients through using guided imagery alongside music.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that school, that school is focused on altered states of consciousness work. That was my whole master's was plant medicine. We studied different plant medicine practitioners. We studied Groff. We studied different plant medicine practitioners. We studied Groff. We studied Carl Jung. If you're familiar with psychology, we also studied Pema Chodron and Trungpa Rinpoche and all of the major leaders in Buddhist philosophy, right.
Speaker 2:So we studied all of this alongside the transpersonal and the process I use with the music. The classical music programs actually stimulate the same parts of the brain as LSD, so people will experience a journey that they feel like they're in a movie, and so they tell me what they're experiencing. In the one-on-one session I help them through blocks. I'm also seeing what they're seeing and taking notes of the whole thing, and they get a full reading at the end that integrates, first of all, what they experienced on their journey with what came through for me, and then follow up messages and people leave feeling like their entire lives were changed in two hours. Lives were changed in two hours. And as I studied this more, I created this process based on my training in the Bonnie Method of guided imagery and music and my transpersonal degree at Naropa. And what I found that is that when I look at the declassified documents from the Gateway Project, where they studied this for decades and found that it works and people shift their reality and all the things they can manifest, all the things, they found that there were multiple ways people could access this. It's like transcendental meditation. If they meditate for five to 10 years, you know they get to that point kundalini, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis. Well, the method that they use when I looked at it and actually started to study it, it's the same process that I use. It's the same process that I use in my work, and I think that's fascinating, because much of this was downloaded to me. It came to me just through spiritual experiences that I outlined in the book. This is how I found the bowls, this is how I found this, this is how I found the oils, even because they activate different sensory experiences and you want it to be as real as as possible when you're in that space. So, yeah, it's, it's everything. The music is everything and that, to me, classical music, is how I came out of the coma, so it's perfect for my work. Like after I made that vow, and I'll just share this After I made the vows, everything went dark but I saw a music staff in the distance and each note was a different color.
Speaker 2:I couldn't hear anything but I could see the notes moving along, staff, until the staff got bigger and bigger. It kind of got like, went through my energetic body and then there was this pinprick of sound, like a pinprick of light and sound kind of same thing, and I focused everything in my, every bit of energy went into that sound, which I could almost not hear, until it got so loud because I had. I know now I was pulling myself back into my body through the music. It got so loud in my head the only thing I could do was open my eyes and I was in the ICU of this like hospital in Waco, texas, like the Dallas Fort Worth area. I had been moved to that hospital and there was music playing in my bedside on a movie. It was classical music on a movie and that was what woke me up. So I knew then I was coming back to heal people with music.
Speaker 2:I woke from the coma to music. I learned this process at Naropa, the Bonnie method that tied the music in with everything and I my degree in music therapy just anchored in the science of everything and that's how I do what I do, and it always changes. It's always growing. Now I'm there's a breath work element that's added in that my, my husband does. He does the breath work and we do large events where he brings three people into the grounding of the body and the breath, and then I'll take them into the music journey.
Speaker 1:So I love that so much and that's the other thing that's really super important is breath work, like that's. It's just, it's amazing how connected the body is, like the body keeps the score and just by having like essential oils or vibrational healing, or just you know your, your energy, healing, and just it's just.
Speaker 2:I love that every that you weave together all of your modalities so that somebody can have this profound, transform, transformational experience Like it's in an hour and a half to two hours, like it's such a gift to do this work.
Speaker 1:I love that. I do have a question now for some. Like someone like myself I'm not a very visual person. I do, I have feeling and whatnot, but like, like, do you, are you able to help unlock that, that side of somebody that's not able to maybe visualize or have imagery, imagery that, like they, I can't see anything. I'll be like, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2:There are multiple ways to experience this. So one is on a somatic level. So it's actually quite interesting when someone someone will usually start in a place that's familiar with them and then they'll be like oh, I feel this in the body, there's something tight in my heart. Okay, we go into that and we communicate with the body. We don't. We stay where your journey takes you because your higher self is going to take you over time. Yes, people develop the ability to move in imagery because it's a practice, it's a skill that they develop. So, yes, that does happen. And at the same time, it doesn't have to happen because we go into the body and someone will be like well, it feels like like a stabbing pain or I feel like we stay with the discomfort. We ask it what it needs, we give it what it needs, we communicate on different levels with different body awareness techniques and then, typically, once they, the energy tends to move, like it'll start in the heart, it'll go up to the throat. They're like oh, I feel him. Okay, it moves up to the head. Now it's gone.
Speaker 2:And then they're like oh, now I'm in this bright yellow light or I'm in a field or wherever, and that experience is usually. Sometimes it's just an experience of color. Color has great meaning. I work with color, light and sound and music, so we know that. You know, yellow is a place of empowerment, it's a place of connection to our strength, our warrior energy. We know that heart is usually green or pink, you know, and so by knowing the colors too, that makes a big difference. So you don't have to. And and again, usually it's like a feeling of expansion, of lifting, of euphoria. They're in a feeling state, less than are in a place, but most of the time loved ones do come through and they, you know they, they'll see them and interact with them, or angels or light, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I also respect the fact that you meet your client where they're at.
Speaker 2:Oh, totally.
Speaker 1:I love that. It's like you're going to meet. I love that.
Speaker 2:So you can call the ISO principle in music therapy. You meet someone where they are, they're guiding the whole process. It's my job to just get on board and, like, facilitate through whatever they're experiencing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, that is perfect. So you've been described as an acclaimed energy worker. How do you approach balancing and harmonizing energy fields for individuals through your sessions?
Speaker 2:Oh, through, through light, light, color and sound. So the light, um, it's really interesting. If you study the consciousness of water, um, there's first Dr Emoto, right, and then, and then it was taken to the next level by Veda Austin, who communicates with water and takes images of water and, uh, like the water answers her and shows her pictures and does really mystical, wonderful thing, and she's taught tens of thousands of students how to do this at home. So, like, you can learn this practice.
Speaker 2:But the body is mostly water and at its most basic element, like quantum psychologists or quantum scientists are finding that the water emits a blue light, like a star-like light.
Speaker 2:So for me, water and light are the same and water becomes the transportive element for energy work within the body. So if you can teach someone how to channel light through the body using visualization and the water element within, then their entire energetic field shifts because we have this electromagnetic field that can be measured, that comes from the heart, and so as we expand the consciousness of our heart, even in imagery, it's measurably different when people are studying this electromagnetic field around the heart. So I work with that, studying this electromagnetic field around the heart. So I work with that, I teach people how to use music and sound and light to integrate and expand the electromagnetic field, to push out anything that's negative and call in what's positive. It's their work that they're doing. I'm just helping to facilitate them in expanding that light for themselves and also entrusting it and having faith in it and believing it and knowing it to be true for themselves, I guess that's so cool.
Speaker 1:So I want to go back to your book waking up in heaven living with purpose through afterlife wisdom. So you share insights about co-creating reality with source energy. Can you maybe elaborate on how someone can start tapping into their own inner wisdom to align this co-creative process?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's about knowing thyself. You know, every part of this process is knowing thyself and taking every experience of life and learning, using it as a way to more further connect with your presence. Things are going to happen in life and they do. But for instance, for me, for the past few months, with all that's been going on, I've been going into meditations. I, especially at the beginning of the head injury, went into meditations every night to leave my body, to gain wisdom from the light. What is happening? How can I support, how can I even speed up the timeline, how can I assist in the healing?
Speaker 2:And I have seen miracles happen within a very short amount of time.
Speaker 2:That has led to healing through this, for me and my partner as well, for my husband as he goes through this.
Speaker 2:I mean stuff you would. We had no clue what was happening for three months, but the moment that I started that process, it was like miracles were happening every day and he started to kind of come back and that light came on in his eyes again and it was like starting to remember who he was. He remembered memories of us, you know, and so I would just say use every experience as an opportunity to connect to God like connect to God presence, whatever you call that presence, your light, your higher self, that the heart of creation, and not try to deal with it on a human level, not try to control it here, but actually like just what can I learn from this? And sit with it in meditation. In this process, meet with somebody who can take you into the next level of frequency. Raise your frequency by using oils every day, by saying affirmations, start to meditate more breath, work, yoga. Anything that connects you with your God presence is what to do.
Speaker 1:I love that. Now you definitely use a lot of essential oils. You just mentioned that. Do you recommend any essential oils that would help somebody to feel more connected?
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, I only use Young Living. Young Living is the best. I only use Young Living because the frequency is very high. They're very conscious. They don't even let, they don't use any type of weed killer, like they use sheep to eat the weeds. You know that they've even found that the frequency of clary sage is higher when women harvest it. Um, they measure down to the moment so that the oils are their highest. They're all organic, the soil is clean, like.
Speaker 2:There's so many reasons, but they just um, they, they hold a different energy and I can see the energy in the body. I work with light and sound. I can see that as the ones I'm drawn to. But oils like, um, uh, oils, oils like into the future, acceptance, surrender, um, highest potential, uh, the freedom collection was what changed my life. I talk about that in the book quite a lot. Freedom collection and saying it with affirmations that I pulled from Course in Miracles when would you have me go? What would you have me do? What would you have me say and to whom, especially in those difficult times in life, using oils, five different oils, different parts of my body, saying affirmations and then releasing everything to God, that was a practice that really lifted me into next level consciousness. So I would say do that if you can.
Speaker 1:I love that. I love that. I love. Young Living has amazing oils. I love their Northern Lights.
Speaker 2:Northern Lights is the highest frequency substance that I know of on the planet. It like unofficially clocked in at 700 something megahertz. It's really inexpensive to get a high frequency. It grown other under the northern lights. The land is super, never been touched. Uh, I think it never even been farmed, or yeah. So that one. And then, of course, rose is high, but that's a 300 oil, right? Yes, it's like half the frequency.
Speaker 1:Um, as for me, it's too, it's too strong. I'm like rose. No, thank you.
Speaker 2:Like it's it has to be diluted, that one, but jasmine is. I'm using jasmine today. Jasmine is the one that helps you release fears as they are connected to like um, in relationship and like especially it just I energetically pulled it today. You could put your hands over the oils, feel the tingle, and then which one calls to you, so your book also emphasizes science for divine and interpreting messages from a higher consciousness.
Speaker 1:How can someone that maybe is new to spirituality begin to develop this awareness in their everyday life?
Speaker 2:By acknowledging it. So when you see multiple, you know, like experiences of, oh, it's one, one, 11, or 11, 11, or you know, you acknowledge it, see it as a sign because as you start to communicate with source and be like, oh, I got that one, I see it that you know. I even as I've been going through this process, I learned a lot about cardology. I'm really interested in cardology, which is kind of like astrology and numerology together. It's just a fascinating way to understand life and I've just been looking for signs everywhere to give me validation that I'm on the way.
Speaker 2:Even when I drink tea at my favorite coffee shop, I found a way that I can take a picture of the bottom of the teacup. I can put it into chat GPT and say, hey, be the best tea leaf reader on the planet and tell me what the reading is for today. And it's always right on. So it's just like this fun. It brings a new energy to life and a new light to life, a new understanding and conceptualization, and I always give it back to God and think, thank you, you know. Thank you for that bird, that hummingbird yesterday that I saw like just hovering right in front of my face, which is true, you know. And then look up the meaning of hummingbird. What does it mean? Stop thinking things so seriously, you know, like lighten up and receive the sweetness of life. You know, buy yourself flowers, whatever it is. And, by the way, I get those meetings from a book called Animal Spirit Guides by Dr Stephen Farmer.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I learned that one at Naropa and I love that one, so that is a great book.
Speaker 1:I'm constantly like what does hawk mean? What does deer mean?
Speaker 2:I have it on Kindle and I only use his meanings. They're right for everybody, like over the last 20 years. It's like, okay, they're right, so he's right.
Speaker 1:That's so funny. I use the same book on Kendall and I'm like, okay, Rachel, I've seen 15 deer. Okay, what does that?
Speaker 2:mean.
Speaker 1:I love that so much. So before I ask you the last question, if anyone is interested in maybe booking a one-on-one session with you learning more about your weekly meditation classes, what is the best place for them to go to?
Speaker 2:So go to wellnessmusictherapycom and my weekly meditations are on Facebook right now. They're donation-based, so it's perfect for anyone who just wants to check it out. You can buy my book on Amazon. It's the pink one Waking Up in Heaven. Also, the movie is on Amazon.
Speaker 2:I do retreats as well Individual sessions. You can find out. Individual sessions are amazing. Some people come to me regularly and buy like a bundle to keep the cost down. Some people will get like a one-off session to change their life and then they'll come back maybe three months later. So definitely do that and then we come. We. We come to different areas. We'll be in Chicago. This year. I'll be bringing this work to larger audiences. We'll be where are we going next? Kentucky. We'll be in Kentucky in April, which is where Portland, I think in May potentially all over the West coast in San Diego. I'm online and in person, so either one of those works. And, of course, we do monthly breathwork bowls for our community here in San Diego every month and even with Neil's head injury, we've still continued to do that Mostly.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So for our last question what advice would you give someone who feels disconnected from their spiritual path, but is maybe seeking healing through music and sound?
Speaker 2:I would say to find music that brings you an emotional connection and listen to it and just start to breathe with it and sit with it and to you know, reach out to whatever modality calls you so that you can connect more fully with what it is you want to know about yourself through this practice.
Speaker 1:I love that. No, it's beautiful advice. It really is. It's like what sparks your interest and what do you feel drawn to, and maybe that's a sign from divine that's trying to pull you in.
Speaker 2:It is, yeah, trying to pull you into something new, that you're meant to learn something about yourself through interacting with the music. So, and movement, you know, move to the music, to that. You don't have to just lay there and listen. You can. You can move to it, you can breathe to it. It's just let it move into your essence. I think when I listen to music, I'm actively listening. I feel where the music touches my body. I feel it in my shoulders and down my arms. I wear my earphones and get completely immersed in the music. I notice where the notes are going, and that is a. It's a, it's a practice of transformation in itself.
Speaker 1:So much. Well, Ellen, I almost called you a different name. I want to thank you so much for coming on the Spiritual Spotlight Series. It's truly been amazing to connect with you today. Same.
Speaker 2:Thank you, rachel, so much. This has been great, thank you, thank you.
