A single phrase or line would filter into my awareness as I sat in embodied presence, during a listening lab or Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) group experience that I was facilitating. At the time, I had no framework for the information. It was simply a way I held space intuitively, staying open to what arose and offering playlists to the group with openness and curiosity.

As I listened more deeply, I noticed that the lyrics - from Elton John, The Beatles, James Taylor, John Denver, and Cat Stevens - carried something more than nostalgia or personal sentiment. They were sharing a story.
In the months that followed, I became more curious. I began keeping lists, tracking the songs that returned again and again. Songs about love, longing, regret, grief. Slowly, I began to sense that the songs were speaking to us, transmitting something essential, if we had the ears and somatic awareness to hear and feel it.

More musical artists emerged, and the themes expanded and grew clearer: divorce, reconciliation, heartbreak, and the return to love. They spoke of the sacred effort to heal the wounds of the inner child and ancestral imprints often evoking tears of grief or moments of deep insight. I noticed archetypal patterns emerging within the music as well:

Eventually, as I moved out of the world of social work and into the world of energy and sound healing, I realized that these were not just songs. They were transmissions.

As my understanding of morphic resonance and the morphic field expanded, I also came across the work of Ann Baring and of Richard Rudd, expanding my understanding of these primary primordial archetypes. Finally, I pieced together my understanding of the songs as powerful activators of our archetypal shadows through Gene Key 22. This Gene key speaks to us about humanities core wounds. For myself, the shadow is the reflection of the core wounds that are held in our inner child and passed down through the generations. I began to see that words were a frequency seeing lyrics similar to tuning forks that can shift our emotional state, tune us to a deeper truth, and move us beyond the constraints of our egoic structures.

In my practice applying Biofield Tuning®, I’ve witnessed how tones and frequencies invoke deep emotional release and nervous system regulation. I also hear songs during a Biofield Tuning session which further peeked my curiosity. I began to understand how music works through similar principles:

To my delight, these principles are also found in somatic-based therapy. In that moment, music became a healing modality for me, a way to meet what is stored in the body and psyche, and offer it resonance, coherence, and release. These energetic transmissions are now part of the services that I bring to individuals and groups.
