My guest for this episode is Melissa Felsenstein. She is a self-proclaimed "ambassador of chill" and the founder of Inner Sounds. Melissa understands that sound is a powerful therapeutic tool to re-learn how to consciously relax, create an internal calm, that can open portals into meditative states, and create emotional harmony.
After healing her own anxiety and depression with sound, Melissa has spent the last ten years refining her technique into a unique Inner Sounds formula, specifically designed to heal the nervous system, create meditative states, and restore mental calm.
Melissa has graciously provided a 5-minute sample of one of these sound baths inside the episode, so listen for it. Allow yourself the gift of listening to it undistracted. The snippet is from a longer, 20-minute sound bath called Patience, and features Saturn and Mercury gongs. It’s designed to help us when we are in Life's Waiting Room, waiting for a decision, a sign, an answer.
If you’d like to access the full sound bath for FREE, along with a few other goodies, please sign up HERE.
