Hello, World.
Life can be really chaotic these past few years, don't you think? I've spent most of the past few years delving into my personal healing journey through inner work, as I unpack all my inner bullshit and release (still releasing!) all which no longer benefit me while successfully finished a postgraduate course, holding a Masters in Arts Pedagogy and Practice. It was a whirlwind ride. I have always believed that we should fill our own jar before filling someone else's cup. I spent a lot of time refilling my dried-out jar and now I can have more fuel to kickstart some new beginnings, a new approach to life and people, a new vision and a renewed way of doing things. I've been searching in my own journey to find the best way forward, so I'll share a few changes here for the time being:
I’ve Rebranded from Align Origins to Sound To Ground
Being someone who is continuously learning and evolving, I understand and believe that sometimes, we need to let go of older offerings, formats, and identities to allow room for new and improved iterations of ourselves to emerge and expressed in the world. I have a penchant to reinvent myself constantly in order to express my free-spirited nature more authentically and creatively toward the world and, in turn, to be able to contribute with purpose to the things I'm passionate about.Decluttering my life—starting with the physical things and working my way up to the intangible ones—has undoubtedly sparked numerous transformational changes. Now I'm excited to facilitate the integration of interdisciplinary embodied practices of arts and wellness in my offerings.
2. What is this blog space for?
With the extensive 2 decade experience as a performer, educator, and facilitator in music, sound healing, yoga, and decluttering consulting, as well as a keen interest in spirituality, consciousness, science, lifestyle, and personal development, I have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share, but I don't always have enough time or am in the right place to do so. As a deep thinker (and a geeky introvert), I enjoy getting my hands dipped with practices, theories, and applications and putting them to use in creative experiments. Sometimes, if not most of the time, the 1-2 hour classes/experiences, talks, and workshops just aren't enough time or space for me to dive deep into sharing.
Deeper course contents are still being developed; however, this platform serves as a good space for information and content sharing trickled between casual and reflective manner and educational approach.
“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…”
- Hermes Trismegistus
We are all witnessing profound chaos in the world and within ourselves. Everything that happens in the outer environment affects our internal environment in the same way that the lunar cycle affects the tides, women's monthly cycles, moods and, in one interesting discovery recently, the patterns of volatility within the financial industry!
I constantly circle back to this question: "How can I serve humanity with these tools, experiences, connections, gifts, and talents I have and make them all worthwhile?"
Sound to Ground is a healing and creative wellness brand which will provide offerings and services, for those who are ready to open their hearts and minds to improve their overall well-being.
Namaste,
Amanda
