#81 Milagros Phillips, singer and healer

Milagros Phillips grew up in a musical family and she says, "Music was always in my life." She was always singing as a child, various eclectic forms of music, but stopped singing in her teens because of an issue with a teacher. She started singing again when a friend asked her to sing in her wedding. She then discovered a new way of using her voice, in sound therapy, which came naturally and intuitively for her. She also sang for hospice patients, which was very profound. She studied the power of music in many ways, including cymatics and the book Nada Brahma, the World is Sound. She realized that healing others through music and signing was really an effort to heal herself, and that "healing me is healing the world." She also says, "I'm willing to be still and be quiet so that I welcome the instrument through which the music is played, so at no point do I own the music, I own the instrument." She says, "Music is one of the most healing things on the planet," and that, "We are naturally attuned to music from in utero." She has recently been conducting seminars on race healing. She says people are made of vibrations and all have their own sounds and frequencies, but have a common ground that is loving the people in their lives, and have more in common than their differences. She explains that people need to look at and understand the past, because it is difficult to heal if one is in denial. She is currently engaged in a new television show, Race Healer TV; please visit www.racehealertv.com.
