Information without integration is just that, information…bits and pieces of data. Knowledge on the other hand is acquired through integration of information.

Through the process of integrating and living the new found “nuggets of information”, knowledge eventually turns into the precious quality of mind and consciousness… commonly known as wisdom.

At the end of September 2014 (a year before I met Gabriela) the very talented documentary filmmaker Deborah Libby and I were lead to connect. She had found my website, in those times “Gong Sound Healing”, and inquired whether I would be interested to have my sound therapy work be a part of her short feature documentary on alternative healing methods that she was choosing as part of he thesis. Being also active in the visual communication space as a full time photographer, clearly, I was interested.

Fast forward 3 months and the film you can see here is an outstanding and masterfully crafted piece by her, that highlights the personal transformation of Toni Morales. You know from your own experience what it takes to loose 5 – 10 lbs, and then to keep them from coming back… Well, imagine that over the course of about 2 ½ years she dropped 140 lbs of body weight, and has been able to keep it off!! Imagine loosing another person that resides within you…literally. The shedding of various aspects of oneself, including body mass. Now we are truly talking about personal transformation ;)

Clearly, the process requires more than just watching what you put, or better, not put into your mouth. It requires a rather significant rising of one’s awareness and consciousness and the ability to go deep into the inner workings of your mind so that you may discover, uncover and discard a series of engrained thinking and behavioral patterns, habits and old tapes, to say the least – and then to replace them with a broad set of healthy ones.

The movie conveys how the gong baths Toni participated in were an integral part for her amazing transformation. How the magnificently and multifaceted qualities of sound therapy contributed to achieving the goals on several fronts of her life. By heightening her own awareness to “what makes her tick and what does not make her tick”, the vibrations and frequencies of the gongs and Himalayan singing bowls tied it all together for Toni and allowed for an ongoing tremendously rewarding and enriching transformation in her life. After her transformation she ran several 5 K races, something completely unthinkable of two years prior to the film. Bravo Toni, You ROCK!!!

Enjoy watching the feature and raise your own bar, you know best which area in your life it may pertain to.

A few years back “The Healing Song”, was picked up by the Gaia Network. The film highlights how sound therapy or sound baths work and how it assists in people’s personal transformation and inner healing process.
