How Tibetan Singing Bowls Interact with the Nervous System (Without Forcing Regulation)
Tibetan singing bowls produce long, sustained tones with gentle overtones. These sounds do not start and stop abruptly. They unfold. They linger. They fade slowly. This gradual movement can be easier for the nervous system to tolerate than sharp or unpredictable sound.

Tibetan Singing Bowls: Sound That Does Not Ask You to Do Anything
You do not need to sit still. You do not need to breathe differently.
You do not need to feel relaxed.
You may listen briefly. You may turn the sound off.
You may leave the room entirely.
The bowl does not follow you.

A New Way to Listen: Membership with Julie Jewels Smoot
I’ve opened a membership—not as a program, not as a promise, and not as a requirement to heal.
This membership exists for one simple reason: to create a protected, quiet way to listen.
Over time, I’ve learned that sound offered publicly, without containment, is often misunderstood, misused, or consumed too quickly. I’ve also learned that many people—especially those living with trauma, chronic stress, or nervous system overwhelm—need less instruction, not more.

You Are Allowed to Stop
There is a point in many healing journeys where stopping feels wrong.
Not because something is unsafe—but because leaving feels like failure.
We are taught, often subtly, that healing requires endurance.
That staying longer is better.
That pushing through discomfort is progress.
That stopping means we didn’t try hard enough.
Trauma-informed sound challenges this belief.
You are allowed to stop.

There Is No Right Way to Experience Sound
People often ask what is supposed to happen during sound healing.
They want to know what they should feel.
They want to know if they’re doing it right.

But trauma-informed sound begins with a quieter truth:

Start Here
If you’re here, you may be curious about sound healing—but unsure if it’s for you.
You may be living with trauma, grief, exhaustion, or a nervous system that doesn’t easily settle. You may have tried meditation, breathwork, or sound before and felt like it didn’t work—or didn’t feel safe.
This space is different.
There is no right way to be here.
There is nothing you need to fix.
You are welcome exactly as you are.

Nothing is required of you.
