Yesterday was a warm day in Southern California. Last night, after going for an evening walk, I noticed the temperature in the house was quite warm. So, I went through and opened the sliding glass door down stairs and all the windows. As I reached to open the window in the upstairs hallway, my arm grazed the stand that holds my wind chimes. The feeling I had from that sound was instantaneous. In my body and in my heart, was the sound of this channel. The sound of Relaxing Soundscapes. It was instantly recognizable in my soul. I smiled as I continued up the stairs to the top floor of my house to open the rest of the windows, with the echo of the sound of the chimes inside my head. A smile on my face as if I just got my very own live performance just for me. π
I thought I'd share this experience. It is meaningful to me because all of you viewers and listeners. All of you who leave comments, like and subscribe. All of you who share your experiences here, for me and others to read. It's all of you who make this channel what is. It wasn't just the sound of the chimes alone that gave me the feeling. It was the sound coupled with the memories of the past couple years with you. It was the memories we shared and for that I am so thankful for all of you! I love being a part of this channel. I feel like we all create a better world.
All my love! ππ»β€οΈππ»

Our world is getting seemingly more weird, strange and complex. How important Is consciousness in this conversation?. We are entering an age when it's not only becoming vogue to believe consciousness creates your reality, even scientists are getting down with the "woo woo" and saying that it's true. Actually, scientist have been saying that for decades, but no one has really been listening or had the ability to understand at an everyday level what they were saying. It's only just now we as a species are waking up to this fact that our individual states of being... our individual intentional conscious commandment... creates our realities... our experiences. That is... the definitions you give to the actions you take and the reflections you get back are the reality you experience. Your definitions and beliefs literally create your experiential reality. The secret being... experience is the only thing that's real. Everything else is an illusion.
I think I was born with this turned on in my being... I mean we all were born with this ability... but my consciousness... my waking self... was opening to this idea so slowly... becoming more aware was a pretty slow process for me. I think the first time I can remember being aware of experiencing this, I was 9 years old and it was traumatically frightening. The next time a few years later it was bewildering. Fast forward 4 years and the experience was loving but frustrating. Then it was liberating but scary. Then startling and confusing... then freeing and expanding... and so on.
Here's what I'm getting at. These sound compositions that I've created for the Relaxing Soundscapes channel are really doorways for you. Tools if you will. A sonic way of unhooking your rational mind, allowing your true self to rearrange the fragments of your reality... putting the pieces of your reality puzzle back together in a different way than you had them. Putting them together more in alignment with your true self. If you wish, into more of a positive way, instead of a negative way. Remember... that the terms or definitions "good" and "bad" are judgements that keep you tied to the past or to what you've been judging. Connecting you to what may not have worked before. Where as the idea of terms "positive" and "negative" are just directions in a dimension that are either moving you closer towards what you prefer... or away from it, respectively.
Think about it...hopefully it makes sense.
The Universe doesn't give you any more than what you can handle. If your life seems unmanageable, then stop pounding your head into that proverbial brick wall and start listen to the wind chimes... or whatever else loosens your mind... and helps you in realigning the pieces of your reality in a way that is more preferable to you. But also remember... as long as what you prefer... doesn't harm others and/or interfere with their being. Yeah... I know...that last one is a tricky one.
Follow what excites you to the best of your ability...
Taking it as far as you can go until your can take it no farther...
With zero insistence or assumption of what the outcome ought to be.
Do this... and the universe will give you more of what you need so you can choose to move toward your preferred reality.
More to come later.
Until then... all my love to you... wishing you the best lives ever! ππ»β€οΈππ»

I'm sick of it!! YouTube videos lately asking me to stay tuned to the end.. because there's a "thing" I'll want to watch or hear... so they can get more watch time or sell me something. I don't do this crap. Watch my videos or not... It's up to you. If you're enjoying the tranquil serenity of my videos... then play them until you don't need to any longer. There's nothing at the end... there is no end. There are no tricks. My videos are 10 hours of relaxation. You and only you will know when you're done and you decide to turn off the video. There is no manipulation... I make these videos so you can use them to meditate, relax and sleep... or whatever else you use them for.
Ok... my rant is over. I appreciate you all for your support of this channel... and as always... I wish you health and happiness... with all my love... Thank you. ππ»β€οΈππ»

I woke up feeling alone today. I know it's a loneliness of my own choosing, but knowing that didn't alleviate my sadness. A few hours after waking, a good friend of mine called. I really didn't feel like talking. But, she continued anyway and told me a story that she was experiencing. A friend of hers was struggling financially. Her friend was so broke and feeling depressed after her dad died a few months ago. Because of this, her friend was finding it nearly impossible to pay her bills. Now, my friend had just received some money from a family member as a Christmas present and decided to help out her friend in need. She sent what she could to help out and in the course of the next day and a half told the story to two other friends. Each of the other friends took action and donated to the cause and contributed enough that my friend's friend (and her children) were able to survive through the financially difficult time. So what's the point of the story? I don't feel alone and sad anymore. My friend's story reminded me to stop thinking about what I don't have and start focusing on the gifts I have to give. There's a book I read thirty years ago called A Course in Miracles. The authors of the book define a miracle as this: "Miracles are the natural order of things because they supply a lack. They are performed by those who temporarily have more for those who temporarily have less." If you are feeling down, I challenge you to take action and remember that all situations are temporary. Use this info and remember to shift your consciousness so you can give your gifts to others in need. I wish you a Happy and safe Holidays everyone! All my love!! ππ»β€οΈππ»

When I created this channel and these soundscapes... I didn't know when and where they would be received. I didn't know by whom. All I knew is that I needed to make them. In the middle of crazy schedules at work... I felt I needed to produce them. Tonight I received a message from a viewer who shared so beautifully how one of my videos impacted her and her loved one. It gives me some indication that this Relaxing Soundscapes channel is valid... viable... and valuable. That my work hasn't been for not. I'm only human too... I wonder if what I did or do is for the greater good. I have to fight the influences of my ego... and remain steadfast and vigilant to receive your love in whatever form it comes... in this case in the form of comments and subscriptions and donations... to know that the work was correct and synchronous. I'm ever so grateful! Thank you all so much... My love to all of you!! ππ»β€οΈππ»

Patterns. Humans... you and I... are geared to see patterns. I think it's coded in our genetic memory. It goes back to a time long long ago, when we needed to remember that eating that certain plant made us feel better or fighting that certain beast led to an unfavorable outcome. Fast forward to when we were kids. We learned that doing that thing led to something good or bad. We see patterns. Touch a hot stove, we burned our hand... Bad. We do well in school, we get love from our parents... Good. So, we are creatures of habit based on patterns. Ok, so? What's the point? We ARE creatures of habit, but what about pattens that seem to transend time and space? Experiencing a thing that triggers a memory or experience that doesn't seem to be ours. It seems non sequitur. Not logically connected to who we are... but it still feels connected. What do we do with memories like that that affects us? Those experience can change our decision making and lead to the next moment that changes our future that otherwise would not have been. I guess what I'm saying is... pay attention to those moments that seem as if they are intruding on present time from a past we don't remember. Get curious with them. Evaluate them. Try not to just dismiss them as insignificant or mental foofaraw. Use them to jump temporal timelines and co-create a future that you prefer. One that doesn't seem to be connected to the NOW reality. One that makes sense to you. One where there's a possibility you can be at peace with others without conflict... or if there is conflict, there is an agreement out of love where we will try and find a middle ground. A middle ground where we can get what we need without total destruction. I know it sounds idealistic, unrealistic and utopian... but I'd rather strive for perfection and fall short... than lose it all and not have anything. I wish you all love, peace, health and relaxation. ππ»β€οΈππ»

Iβm sitting here decompressing... it's 8:30pm on Monday night...and I'm not listening to anything.. haha. Itβs been a crazy couple of months. I finally have time to do some creating for this channel. I did some recording today with new βinstrumentsβ... a Drume Hand steel hand drum and a set of crystal prayer bowls. Omg ... I have no ideas yet on what to create! π€π¬
And that leads to tonights post. Itβs about creativity and creation. A good friend of mine always says when I run into a βbrick wallβ... It's good to get curious. By focusing on what you feel is keeping you from achieving your goal IS what keeps you there in that space. If you got curious and asked... Why am I stuck? Or What if I try this what would happen? Or What if I just didn't think about the thing Iβm trying to create and just be in the moment and do what comes? or What if I did that a number of times while recording... Would that give some direction on how to proceed?
Well... thatβs where Iβm at! The wind chimes seem to be way more straight forward and intuitive.
Iβm off this week.. I'm going to see my Mom for her 91st birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom!! β€οΈππΆ
Iβll keep you posted on a Season 2 for this channel.
In the mean time... be good.. be healthy... and... stay relaxed!
All my love... β€οΈππ»ππ»

I'm sitting here... It's 8:50 on Thursday night and I'm listening to "Supergiant Wind Chimes Sound Bath". It's been a long couple of weeks... many long days working and I'm in need of some rest and relaxation. Before I started typing this... I had my eyes closed and just breathing. Deep... slow breaths. I'd inhale for four seconds... hold for four seconds... exhale for four seconds and wait for four seconds. I repeated this over and over for about fifteen minutes... quieting my mind while I breathed in and out. OMG... I had so much noise and chatter in my mind. The more I tried to quiet myself the more active my mind seemed to be. I just kept breathing.... one one thousand... two one thousand... Three one thousand... four one thousand... I could feel my mind trying to get my attention. So... I got curious and creative. I imagined myself sitting under a tree as I slowly breathed. I allowed my thoughts to come to me.. but they had to line up single file... each waiting it's turn to be heard. after each thought presented itself... I'd surround it in a bubble of love and light... then placing it in my mind where it would be safe and always loved and cared for... then I would turn my attention to the next thought. After about five minutes of doing this... I naturally started focusing on the sound of the chimes. I'd follow the path of the sound... following the curves of the sound like surfing a wave or skiing a snowy mountain. Before I knew it I snapped out of this trance I was in. I didn't even realized I wasn't listening to my thoughts any more or that I was listening to the sound bath... I was somewhere else.... all the while surrounded with my thoughts that now sat quietly around me... enjoying our company together while experiencing the pure sound. What a relaxing... rejuvenating... and blissful state that experience was! Anyways... I thought I'd share my little relaxing evening journey with you. Thank you all for being a part of this channel... all my love to you! ππ»β€οΈππ»

Remember to breathe. I know... it seems obvious, but breathe intentionally. Be conscious of your breathing. Listen to the chimes and breathe in the light and exhale the stress. Breathe in the love and exhale the anger and the fear. Breathe in the joy and exhale the sorrow. Keep going until you feel at peace in your body... knowing that you are the creator of your experience. Relax and fill yourself with light... and know you are loved and you are made of love. Breathe... and have a wonderful and relaxing rest of your week. ππ»β€οΈππ»

Relaxing Soundscapes channel is dedicated to producing content that help viewers shed the stress of daily life and relax. I've been a sound editor and sound designer for 30 years. My challenge in creating the soundscapes for this channel is that they need to be relaxing and stress reducing, but still be engaging and enjoyable. How do I achieve this?
First, I use the best microphones and sound editing equipment; Second, I use recordings that are "clean" and "pristine"; Third, I listen to how all the elements make me feel while editing and mixing.
It's important to note that what you are listening to is a stereo mix that is comprised of tens to hundreds of individual sound clips arranged with pitch, rhythm and spatial orientation in mind. Also, it's important to note that relative volumes to each of the elements are dynamically changing. So you get a different experience as you continue to listen.
It is my hope these compositions help you have better and healthier lives.
