While I believe every culture holds wisdom worth honoring year-round, this month gives us space to pause and intentionally acknowledge the depth, resilience, and contributions of Black culture. One of the most powerful threads throughout Black history is the use of music and sound as a source of regulation, connection, survival, and healing. Through generations of struggle and resistance, music was never surrendered. It became prayer, protest, comfort, and community. Today, in honor of Black History Month, I’m sharing my first short sound bath video. My hope is that it offers a moment of rest, grounding, and gentle soothing for your nervous system. May it meet you where you are. 🤍

On hard days, look for blissful moments. Bliss isn’t happiness. It's the moments that don’t ask anything of you. A sip of something warm. Sunlight on your face. A deep exhale you didn’t realize you were holding. And if you have trouble finding blissful moments, take a walk with a six-year-old. They will find ladybugs and inchworms, the tiniest of flowers, and watch squirrels and chipmunks play. That is what teaches us to slow down and just breathe. When life feels heavy, stop looking for big breakthroughs. Look for the soft interruptions. They’re how your nervous system remembers it’s allowed to rest. Where do you find your blissful moments?
