Blessing in Chaos by Jan Richardson
To all that is chaotic in you
Let there come silence.
Let there be a calming
Of the clamouring,
A stilling of the voices
That have laid their claim on you,
That have made their home in you,
That go with you even to the holy places,
But will not let you rest.
Will not let you hear your life with wholeness
Or feel the grace that fashioned you.
Let what distracts you cease.
Let what divides you cease.
Let there come an end to what diminishes
And demeans, and let depart
All that keeps you in its cage.
Let there be an opening
Into the quiet that lies beneath the chaos
Where you find the peace you did not think possible,
And see what shimmers
Within the storm.
Wild Geese
WILD GEESE
~Mary Oliver~
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
Zero Circle by Rumi
Zero Circle
Be helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no.
Then a stretcher will come from grace
To gather us up.
We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty
If we say we can, we’re lying.
If we say No, we don’t see it,
That No will behead us
And shut tight our window onto spirit.
So let us rather not be sure of anything,
Besides ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness.
What Can I Say by Mary Oliver
What Can I Say
~Mary Oliver~
What can I say that I have not said before?
So I’ll say it again.
The leaf has a song in it.
Stone is the face of patience.
Inside the river there is an unfinishable story
And you are somewhere in it
And it will never end until all ends.
Take your busy heart to the art museum and the
chamber of commerce
but take it also to the forest.
The song you heard singing in the leaf when you
were a child
is singing still.
I am of years lived, so far, seventy-four,
And the leaf is singing still.

Keeping Quiet by Pablo Neruda
Keeping Quiet by Pablo Neruda
Now we will count to twelve
and we will all keep still
for once on the face of the earth,
let’s not speak in any language;
let’s stop for a second,
and not move our arms so much.
It would be an exotic moment
without rush, without engines;
we would all be together
in a sudden strangeness.
Fishermen in the cold sea
would not harm whales
and the man gathering salt
would not look at his hurt hands.
Those who prepare green wars,
wars with gas, wars with fire,
victories with no survivors,
would put on clean clothes
and walk about with their brothers
in the shade, doing nothing.
What I want should not be confused
with total inactivity.
Life is what it is about;
I want no truck with death.
If we were not so single-minded
about keeping our lives moving,
and for once could do nothing,
perhaps a huge silence
might interrupt this sadness
of never understanding ourselves
and of threatening ourselves with death.
Perhaps the earth can teach us
as when everything seems dead
and later proves to be alive.
Now I’ll count up to twelve
and you keep quiet and I will go.

Some benefits of therapeutic Sound;
Sound can help create deep states of relaxation through altering our brainwaves.
It has profound effects on our nervous system, bringing us in to a more relaxed state where healing can occur.
No previous experience is required, just lay down close your eyes and allow the sounds to tune your frequency.
The body is made up of 70% water. Sound and vibration travels up to five times more effectively through water so this is a perfect modality for healing at a cellular level.
There are many benefits to sound healing; receiving a deep sense of peace and tranquility, reduced stress, improved sleep and a more relaxed nervous system to name a few.
It is effortless. You can lie or sit in a comfortable position (fully clothed), the sound does the work.
