Music is
My Medicine
Music is the medicine
that fuels our hearts and fuses us with our throats.
Connecting us with our vibration and the frequency of our existence.
Nothing connects us more intimately than sound.
It is with us when we’re born
and it’s with us when we ground…
Through every high and every low… it’s sound...
The most intense orgasms…
The most exuberant joy…
and the moans and groans of sorrow.
Sound connects us on a whole other level.
It’s a gift. It’s a birth-rite.
It’s an expression of our soul.
Expression
is
everything…
Piano
My parents were given a piano from a church mate and thus my love and relationship with the keys began. I was 6 years old when I remember first taking lessons. That continued till I was 12 and began refusing to play for other people. I went from spontaneously joining my elementary school's talent show to diving deep into my shell and becoming self conscious and fearful of sharing my gifts. I became my own worst critic. To hear “that was beautiful, Hannah!” from my parents would make me cringe. Wild, isn’t it?
As I became an adult and a mother, I softened to sharing my muse with those closest to me. I felt completely safe with my children and husband to share this wild passion that roared through me…Vocals
I have been singing since I can remember. When I close my eyes and soften into my throat, it muses me deeply to feel what comes out. Singing aligns us with our soul. As a child, I would lay in front of the radio listing and singing along for hours just to hear that ONE song to try and memorize it...
I would be told to stop singing a lot. In the car, the store, at the dinner table...
As a teen, I would belt the lines of Bohemian Rhapsody... in my room, my truck, with my friends.
But I was still shy about sharing my voice. Becoming a mother softened me and I began to share song with my babies and husband more and more. Sharing my voice with the world, however, has not been an easy task... yet it feels ever so potent and true. I met a musical goddess mama named Jessica Bray and we instantly connected. Before moving away, she performed a powerful drumming and vocal activation over me, blessing me profoundly with her sound. It blasted me wide open and urged me out, into the open. I felt drawn to share with her, with the world! To share our voices is such a gift. When I sing it heals me. When I share, it actives me even deeper into my purpose on this earth.
And I pray it does the same for you. Ukulele
Enter into my life the power of strummed string.. my husband and I purchased our family’s first ukulele on Maui on the final day of an absolutely magical trip in 2018. It felt Divinely orchestrated that I hadn’t spent that last bit of money and here we stood in that little shop.
She quickly became more mine than anyone else’s! The power of this tiny instrument’s vibration against me enthralled me. Connected me to frequency in a way which I hadn’t yet experienced. I found myself exploring deeper and deeper.
Moved to tears, shaken with chills. My passion for music exploded all over again. I began recording my practices and sharing with my friends. We all felt the waves of love and healing. Teaching me truly how Music IS Medicine.
It’s been a deep love ever since. guitar
Six strings once intimidated me but was much easier to approach after several years of playing the Ukulele. The depth the guitar brings is such a delight and really compliments my natural singing tone. I began to pick up and fiddle with my Lover's guitar when we were together and realized... hey... I could actually make it sound like something! What a novelty hah..
Interestingly, I purchased my first guitar in Oaxaca, Mexico at 13 years old. She was a black, classical beauty... And it was a pain in the ass getting her home! However, I never ended up playing her and she got passed on to others. That is how I received my classical guitar now, as a gift passed along to me. And it has been a rich love ever since.
