    Think Good Thoughts

    Dear Friends, Imagine..at a designated moment, EVERYONE in the world thinks one good thought. We'll feel connected. We'll realize, as the Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell said--his life transformed by seeing the Earth from space--"We Are One." Faster than light, these good thoughts will infuse the Universe, rippling into the vast celestial realms. And then, finally, we'll become welcomed ambassadors to the Cosmos. The words of the great John Lennon come to mind as I write this, "You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope someday you'll join us, And the world will be as One..." With love, Jessica Original piano music: "Belonging" With huge gratitude to all those who support my life and work, past and present. You make this possible. Thank you. https://www.pianobeautiful.com/donatecontact.html

    Einstein's Question - Inspirational Thoughts for Our Time

    This video/podcast features my encounters with some extraordinary people. And it's inspired by a question that the great Albert Einstein posed to us all: “I think the most important question facing humanity is, ‘Is the universe a friendly place?’ This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves." As you'll see, I believe that the affirmative answer to this question--that, indeed, the Universe IS a friendly place--connects us with all of life, a glorious and inherent Oneness. The words and experiences I share here, I hope, will inspire that connection as we endeavor to create a New World. Warmest wishes to you, Jessica Featured: Albert Einstein, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Apollo Astronaut, Edgar Mitchell and...a famous mathematician.

    Amazing Grace - A Chance Encounter

    I've played "Amazing Grace" for years. It's my 'go-to' song. Whatever my circumstance, my hopes, challenges, whatever time of day or place--the melody and lyrics conjure the sense of eternity and redemption, born of the transfigured conscience of John Newton, a former slave ship captain in England in the late 1700's. One afternoon, more than two hundred years after Newton composed this hymn, here on this side of the planet, DownUnder, I met 'by chance' a man and his wife who had an uncanny connection to this music. As we spoke, they shed light on the significance of the song I've loved for years. As I share this story, I recall the striking insight that, "there are no coincidences," offered by the great Miles Davis, a legend whose presence, likewise, came into my life in an uncanny way--through the fabulous Garth Webber, a guitarist who played and toured with Miles, and with whom I've had the joy of collaborating. The video concludes with my performance of "Amazing Grace," With heartfelt gratitude and love to all, Jessica My efforts to bring hope, healing and beauty to this world are made possible through donations.

    The Little Boy in the Shop - A Precious Moment

    In this time of AI, we're being challenged to recognize what IS authentic, and to ask ourselves who are we, REALLY? In that light, I'm sharing this little story. It's an encounter with a little boy and his mom in a shop here in my village. The conversation with this boy was precious and innocent. It has stayed with me. I believe that a key to our human future is in these moments of truth, goodness and delight. With warm wishes, Jessica. The piano music is "Katy, Ray of Hope," an original piece from my first album, "Haven." My efforts to bring hope, healing and beauty to this world are made possible through donations.

    Heaven in a Wildflower

    Amidst the challenges we face, I hope these messages provide a feeling of hope and peace. Inspired by the timeless words of the great English poet, William Blake, I share my experiences in nature. As I've realized, finding quiet time for contemplation helps us to "cleanse our perception," so we can see the world anew. With love, Jessica ❤ Music: "In the Garden," from my CD, "Light Born of Light."

    A Wildflower in New York City

    Once upon a time, there was a very special person--a woman who stood barely five feet tall, but whose love illuminated everything she encountered. When I was a little girl, she came to be with me as my nanny. As time went on, her care would nurture my life and my soul. Years later, we were walking together in New York City. That experience is what I share with you here--her admiration for a tiny flower growing from the subway grate, somehow surviving the bustling crowds, created a timeless moment I'll remember always--a glimpse of Heaven on Earth. With love, Jessica For a meditative moment, piano music completes the video. You'll hear: "My Wild Irish Rose," a traditional melody and "Haven," an original piano composition by me If you'd like to support my life and work...Thank you🙏 https://www.pianobeautiful.com/donatecontact.html

    Angels, Radiation and Awakening

    This podcast episode, with original piano music, describes the source of the electromagnetic radiation that impacted me and changed my life. In the direct line of a new 15gHz parabolic radio receiver installed nearby, it became difficult to function, with many physical and cognitive effects. As a result, I sought refuge at the ocean amidst the ancient rocks and calming atmosphere of the sea. (See recent "Homecoming with Jessica" podcast videos.) Amidst my challenges, help came from sources seen and unseen. I began to realize that this health-threatening situation was leading to a profound spiritual shift: The feeling of angels and inter-dimensional beings emerged in my midst, guiding me and reassuring me.

    Rock On!

    This music-and-story episode titled, "Rock On," is the next instalment, describing this life-changing period in my life. As I play blues and gospel, I reflect on a life guided by signs from sources seen and unseen. In that light, I focus on the power of music in these times of great challenge. Music enlivens the soul, AND it's a way for the Universe-God-Creation to communicate with, and support us. The finale is a rousing version of the New Orleans anthem to life and the hereafter, "When the Saints Go Marching In," with tributes to the greats--Whitney, Prince, Janis, Aretha, Elvis, Louis Armstrong, and more--who've gifted us eternally with their passion and talent.

    A Message From the Rocks

    What if the Earth herself is the source of all healing—mind, body and soul? That’s the theme of this "Homecoming with Jessica" podcast episode. It follows from the previous one, "A Night That Changed Everything,” where I describe being awakened by the intense feeling of electromagnetic radiation. Alarmed and confused, I’d no idea where it was coming from... In desperation, I sought refuge at the ocean--amidst the waves, the sand, and the 260 million year-old lava rocks along the shoreline. As the depths of the Earth came alive to me in these rocks, I was reassured and guided beyond anything I could have imagined... And I realized...the Earth is here to help us return to who we TRULY are.

    A Night That Changed Everything - Amazing Grace

    #emfs #hope #AmazingGrace #cosmos #consciousness Like many, I believe that the evidence suggests: we're not alone in the Cosmos. Indeed, there are realms of life invested in, and here to assist in our succeeding in this grand challenge called, "Human Life." Amidst it all, our ability to affect change--and our roles here on Earth--are more potent and important than ever! In this light, I share the story of a life-changing experience--(the one I mentioned in my previous post.)... One night at 2am, asleep in my seaside home, I was startled awake by the overwhelming feeling of electromagnetic radiation. I had no idea what was happening. In desperation and uncertainty, I turned to my music to help me. "Amazing Grace" is what arose from my fingers--a beloved melody of transformation and hope, born of personal reckoning. In this episode from my "Homecoming with Jessica" podcast, I sit at the piano as I share the story. You'll hear the music, and how my notes entered into the frequencies that were impacting me--indeed, a quantum phenomenon! Finally, I was able to shift what was happening and change the reality, finding relaxation, rest and relief. Help me make my dream a reality. I'm looking for significant support to create a place that will serve the world through music and community in the most far-reaching way.

    UFO's, Listening, and Love - A Homecoming Podcast

    This video, enhanced by piano music, is inspired by the UFO (UAP) sightings that are igniting global interest at an unprecedented level. I see this phenomena as incredibly positive because of my own recent situation... Several months ago, a life-changing circumstance meant that I could not be in my home safely. I was forced to spend hours in the nurturing presence of the ocean, a place where I received extraordinary insights from the natural and spiritual realms. In following this direction, miracles happened. I entered into a mystical state of being, where deep listening helps me access guidance from sources seen and unseen. This is the first time that I've shared these experiences and sensitivity to "otherwordly" phenomena. From this consciousness, I believe that the emergence of UFO/UAP phenomena are giving us a profound opportunity to listen and learn. I believe that they're here to help us save ourselves and this beautiful planet. The music is my original piano composition called, "Belonging: Earth and Sky." Please help me make my dream a reality.

    Find Someone Who's Turning - Jessica Roemischer and Garth Webber

    Mr. Garth Webber, my fabulous guitar-master-colleague joins me for this podcast--an intermingling of guitar, vocal narrative, piano and song, that gives rise to story and message. This one is inspired by Neil Young's prescient encouragement, "Don't Let It Bring You Down." In the midst of everything we're grappling with, individually and as a human species, 50 years ago Neil Young gave us marvellous insight: "Find someone who's turning," those who are glimpsing the Light, the movement towards a new world, the goodness that's there inside each of us. Find these beautiful people, and that place in one's self, and allow it to turn us towards a New Future. With heartfelt gratitude to Garth for the joys of our 'duets.'

    A Story in Two Songs - Like a Rolling Stone and Red, Red Wine

    A story told through two songs: In "Like a Rolling Stone," Bob Dylan really got what it's like to be uprooted. As I've played this timeless classic, the great Island song, "Red, Red Wine" kept coming to me. So this is a dialogue between a person who provides cautionary insight, and the friend who's become the ''rolling stone." In rhythm, chord progressions, and deep meaning, these two songs go together so well... #bobdylan #bobdylancover #likearollingstone #redredwine #UB40 Website: https://www.Pianobeautiful.com

    Love in a Nanosecond

    After decades of estrangement and difficulty, my mother's love, now, is something I'd longed for--but could hardly have imagined. In a moment, all the pain and hurt dissolve into a beautiful sea of warmth and...healing. And it happened, literally, in a nanosecond. And I think, what an incredible and significant phenomenon, as I contemplate how: All the divisions of life, cultures, humanity, our personal relationships--everything--can heal in a moment, as a new world is born.

    Listening, Friendship, Love - Featuring Garth Webber

    For this podcast episode, I am honored and delighted to present a new musical collaboration--with world-class guitarist, Garth Webber. Garth has played alongside the finest rock, blues and jazz musicians of our time--among them, Gregg Allman, John Lee Hooker, Dr. John, Robben Ford, Bill Champlin, Bob Weir and--Miles Davis--widely considered the most influential musician in the history of jazz. The episode interweaves piano, guitar and voice, inspired by the compelling insights of Miles Davis. Indeed, Miles Davis has an uncanny sense of what makes music powerful and affecting. He speaks about silence, about listening, and he made a wide space for the musicians who played with him. And listening and space, dear friends, are the ground for real human connection between us all. x With heartfelt gratitude to Garth for the joys of this 'duet.'

    My Heart, The World - Reflections on Our Future

    As piano melodies flow through me, I offer insights into our lives, our world, and our souls. I'm inspired both by the beloved song, "Amazing Grace," born of a man's transfigured consciousness; and by an interview with Gregg Braden, renowned visionary and cutting-edge researcher/thinker. In a spontaneous flow, I share thoughts on who we are and where we're going, poised at this pivotal point in human life, and life on Earth.

    Our Connection Across Time and Space

    In this podcast, as I sit on an ancient sea-side lava field, I reflect on the intrinsic connection between us all - no matter where we are. I describe two stories - of my dear friend, Ren, who likewise found herself amidst ancient lava fields in Hawaii; and my Canadian friend and 'fellow' poet and writer, Brenda Peddigrew who, like many in the Northeast, has been struggling with the effects of widespread forest fires. The connectedness between us kindles the heart, evoking a reality that defies space and time - a quantum reality. I sing the song that Brenda heard as rain began to quench the fires of her home country - The Eagles' "Have You Ever Seen The Rain." For my YouTube video of that song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia0OH_sGIbs Brenda Peddigrew's wonderful writings: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Brenda-Peddigrew/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ABrenda+Peddigrew With gratitude to my sponsors: Roland Corporation Australia Haworths Shellharbour, New South Wales, Australia My dear Patreon patrons, and all supporters past and present Your support will help me bring hope and inspiration to the world: Become a Patreon patron: www.patreon.com/jessica_roemischer More ways to support: www.pianobeautiful.com/donatecontact.html Thank you!

    Amazing Grace - A Chance Encounter

    A chance encounter on a seaside path, led to insights into history and one of my favorite songs, "Amazing Grace." It also gave me pause to consider--what is 'grace, really? And what does it means for our consciousness to shift, so a new life on this planet can come into being. I cite, also, a conversation with Apollo astronaut, Edgar Mitchell, as he glimpsed our world, for the first time, from space. Here is my YouTube video of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibvQy8NzOdY This is the movie, "Amazing Grace," about William Wilberforce and John Newton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeHY-L94Ya0 With gratitude to my sponsors: Roland Corporation Australia Haworths Shellharbour, New South Wales, Australia My dear Patreon patrons, and all supporters past and present Your support will help me bring hope and inspiration to the world: Become a Patreon patron: www.patreon.com/jessica_roemischer More ways to support: www.pianobeautiful.com/donatecontact.html Thank you!

    Grandmother, Mother, Daughter

    My grandmother made history as one of the USA's greatest theatrical costumers. Her business, "Mme Berthe Costumes," outfitted many of the stars and nightclub shows, including Lena Horne, Duke Ellington, Liza Minelli, The Cotton Club, Radio City Rockettes, and countless others, during the early to mid 20 century. As I was growing up, though, she was just my beloved "Tima," who'd swing me on the swings in the park. From my Grandma, my Mom emerged as an extraordinary woman in her own right, pioneering new understandings of education, and freeing the human spirit in her young students. She was immersed, too, in the beauty of music, dance and art, a gift which she gave me. These days, in late night conversations with my Mom, the personal and the span of history merge--of culture, arts and philosophy--as my Mom shares poignant insights and reflections--on my Grandma, herself, and me.

    I'm restarting my podcast with heartfelt appreciation to all my listeners, new and established. This podcast celebrates the light in all its glory.

    Free Fallin' - Live-Streamed Piano Concert

    This live-streamed piano concert is inspired by a fortune that read, "To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose one's self." The music and stories you'll hear are dedicated to the experience of moving from the familiar, in search, with uncertainty, and also with hope.

    The Sea, Changing and Eternal

    Amidst lockdown here in Sydney, I find that a marvellous friendship, and the vast expanses of the sea, converge in depth and love. The ebb and flow of conversation - and my daily walks near the ocean - open my heart to the subtle realms of the spirit, present and near. Piano music - the glorious Scottish ballad, "Loch Lomond."

    Drift Away - Live Streamed Piano Concert

    This concert conjures the dreams and visions that arise through music. It's inspired by the special challenges of living as an American 'ex-pat' in Australia...like the inability to find Fig Newtons when I crave them! Through music and story, this live-streamed concert flows from early musical influences to the present time, as the past and present meld into, ultimately, a special July 4th tribute for all from the good ol' USA. Music includes, "Drift Away" by Dobie Gray, "Fire and Rain" and "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor, "America the Beautiful," and "Waltzing Matilda," to express the melding of experiences that I have, an American living here, Down Under.

    Have a Little Faith

    This episode is inspired by stories of faith and friendship. I read from the beloved tale, "The Little Prince," and share a poignant experience, in which a friend develops a beautiful connection to a horse, patiently allowing him to become comfortable as she gains his trust. I finish with the song, "Have a Little Faith," by John Hiatt, which sums it all up. Donations are gratefully accepted at https://www.pianobeautiful.com

    I Love You So Much, It Hurts

    One evening at a local Starbucks, I had an extraordinary encounter - my mom's spirit came to me, unbidden. In the days that followed, I'd realize that healing is possible; that underneath the hardship, is her enduring love; that the veil between this side and the other is thin, indeed. My mom, a pianist, cherished the music of Claude Debussy, and my playing of it. Thus, this podcast concludes with Debussy's "Claire de Lune," performed with loving appreciation for her.

    The Gift of My Roots

    On the anniversary of my beloved dad's passing, a miracle occurred - my family lineage became revealed to me, a legacy I'd resigned myself to never knowing. The generations unfolded, back in time to my great-great-great-great Russian grandfather who lived in the 1700's. I discovered, too...my family name is uncommon enough as to suggest that everyone with that name is related, and form a single family. Piano music: "Dushinka," traditional Russian love song, arranged and performed by Jessica Roemischer

  42. 111

    Haven

    They say that, "home is where the heart is." More than ever, we each need a home, a place--no matter how small or seemingly unremarkable--where we feel at ease, at rest, at peace. Amidst the flux and challenge of the world, we each need a haven. There, we can find ourselves renewed. Piano music: "Haven," composed and performed by Jessica Roemischer

  43. 110

    Good Night Irene

    Amidst the up-welling of consciousness about racial divides, suffering, disenfranchisement, I share memories of my youth...a girl born into a progressive, broad-minded family, and yet one who was buoyed by being white and middle-class. The complexity of my own story, as is the case for each of us, is a microcosm. As we seek to create a new world, whites and blacks together, our stories and music can be the ground for true equality and deep healing. Piano music: "Goodnight Irene," by Huddie Leadbetter - "Leadbelly" - arranged and performed by Jessica Roemischer

  44. 109

    Advise Self Care

    This podcast is about my recovering from a bad fall. An experience that's given me an unusual opportunity to reflect on life, my life, all of life...our human lives. All that's happened in my decades on Earth. And it feels like God, the Universe, Life itself is saying, now is the time to come home to yourself, to who you truly are, to find yourself resting and at home, in the loving embrace of the Goodness that actually surrounds you. Piano music: Pachelbel's Canon in D, arranged and performed by Jessica Roemischer

    Surfers, Rainbows, Black Cockatoos - A Living Dream

    One stormy afternoon on the vast Australian ocean, the waves roiling, a handful of surfers endeavored to ride the power of the sea. As I looked on, together with dozens of others, what I witnessed was astounding. Then, two other miraculous occurrences unfolded, leaving us all feeling as if we'd entered a dream-like reality. Piano Music: "Amazing Grace" by John Newton, arranged and performed by Jessica Roemischer

    Physics, Nature, Wholeness - A New Life Begins

    In a span of three months, my life has shifted dramatically, as has the world. A new chapter is opening in our individual and collective lives. The values, dreams, visions and convictions we hold dear are essential. They will shape our future. In that light, I share two guiding influences: modern physics, which reveals the inter-connectedness of all things, and nature, in which I find healing and solace. Piano music: "In the Garden," arranged and performed by Jessica Roemischer

  47. 106

    What Makes Us One

    At this time of massive change and upheaval I ask, what is it that I can offer? What can I contribute from my own convictions, from the deepest truth that I know? I find myself journeying into the depths of the human experience, into that which we share, no matter who we are - into that which makes us one. The song that keeps coming to me is the heart-rending Scottish ballad, "Loch Lomond." Piano arrangement and performance by Jessica Roemischer

  48. 105

    Blankets of Sand

    As I sit easily on the sand, looking out to the vast, blue horizon, I find myself cherishing this time of pause...because the natural world is regenerating. We have been given a blessed opportunity to perceive nature liberated from...us. It's said that, "Whatever we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves." Indeed, if the Earth heals - as it's doing amidst our collective sequestering - we do. If its living beings are freed from trauma and disruption, we are freed, too. These insights can empower us to change direction and create a new and beautiful future. Piano music improvised by Jessica Roemischer

  49. 104

    Letting Go Into The Wave

    Instead of returning to 'normal,' what if we fuse our human inventiveness with a newfound awe for the living world. In so doing, we'll find ourselves riding a force that's emerging...one that will guide us and protect us, and move us into a new future on Earth. Podcast concludes with a 17-minute piano improvisation inspired by the power of the waves and the beloved hymn, "Amazing Grace." Piano music by Jessica Roemischer

    My Dad's Gas Tank

    Sometimes the smallest details hold the most meaning. So it is, as I gaze upon a photo of my dad's old home. It's not the grandeur of the Victorian house in which he lived that buoys my mind and heart, but rather a little gas tank he'd installed at the end of the garage. From that tank, my dad would fill my car when I'd visit, happy to help me. That memory carries all the feelings of love he had for me, and that he still has. Piano Music: Pachelbel's "Canon in D" arranged and performed by Jessica Roemischer
