She realized she needed to face her fears and pursue her artistic dreams. Willow then discovered the transformative power of sound healing and began facilitating sessions using singing bowls, gongs, and other instruments. Willow discusses how sound healing aims to relax the mind and body through unique sound waves and also reflects on how nature sounds like ocean waves or forests can evoke deep feelings of safety, relaxation and inspiration. We consider the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in the arts, explore how sharing the whole creative process, not just the highlights, can help others facing struggles in their journey. Through Willow's incredible story and insights, this episode examines the transformational power of sound healing and music to overcome challenges and pursue our passions. ===================== Subscribe and listen to the Living on the B Side Podcast HERE: ===================== 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livingonthebside 👉 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/living-on-the-b-side/id1548622108 👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7ajiDp7FzS6FbWn3odD2Ri ===================== Here are ways to connect and work with me at Living on the B Side: ===================== 🎙️ For support or inquiries, please go to: https://livingonthebside.com/contact-us/ 🎙️ For becoming a possible guest on my podcast, register your interest here: https://forms.gle/XLyXrwzt9jZ5S4Hp6 🎙️ Email Coaching: sign up to be the first to be notified when it commences: https://livingonthebside.com/work-with-me/ 🎙️ Join the B Side Community on Facebook right here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livingonbside ===================== Connect with me! ===================== Website: ➡️www.livingonthebside.com FB page ➡️ www.facebook.com/livingonthebside IG➡️ www.instagram.com/livingonthebside/ FB Group ➡️ www.facebook.com/groups/livingonbside ⏰ Timecodes ⏰ 0:00:00 - Introduction 0:03:40 - Willow shares her near-death experience story 0:10:38 - Willow describes how she got into sound healing 0:16:57 - Willow explains what a sound healing session is like 0:20:48 - Willow and Birgit discuss the importance of music 0:29:59 - Birgit asks about Willow's favorite song 0:34:33 - They discuss authenticity and vulnerability in social media 0:36:56 - Birgit asks what sound describes Willow's life ===================== #LivingontheBSide #powerofmusic #musicpodcast ===================== About this podcast: Living on the B Side is a music podcast that showcases the power of music through people sharing their experiences with music and its impact in their lives.
