Rest ~ Listen ~ Breathe ~ Relax
A Soundbath Meditation with Heather Frahn is a deeply relaxing and restorative experience using sound and music to therapeutically enhance the wellness of mind, body and spirit. Heather ♥heart-crafts♥ her Soundbath Meditations like a fine piece of sonic artistry for your Soul ~ Her divine vocals with quality therapeutic sound instruments including symphonic gong, singing bowls, zen flute, crystal quartzaphone, and gentle percussion create a truly beautiful and immersive live sound journey. Therapeutic sound can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, whereby the body can restore and heal. Through mindful listening slower brain wave states may be induced, which take us from a busy active mind, to a peaceful dream-like state of awareness. Soundbath Meditations commonly help to:
– Positively change emotions and mood
– Reduce anxiety and depression
– Boost the immune system
– Improve sleep
– Deepen spiritual connection
– Raise energy levels
– Open us to personal insights
– Relieve stress
– Promote deep rest and relaxation
– Release trauma and tension
Deep Peace – an Ancient Gaelic Blessing put to music by Heather Frahn

The ‘Deep Peace’ verse is said to have derived from an ancient Gaelic rune, making beautiful and inspirational references to various elements of nature: water, air, earth, stars, night. The most famous version of this song titled “A Gaelic Blessing” was composed by John Milford Rutter in 1978 for the choir of the First United Methodist Church in Omaha, Nebraska (USA). Now decades later, there are several versions of this ancient blessing that make references to Christian, Gaelic, Pagan, and Secular faith traditions and spirituality.

“The power of the music lingers long after the last note. It lingers in your mind, and in your soul, and it gives you peace of mind when you’re travelling through very difficult times in your life. And you can see the journey of my pathway that there’s been many times when things have been difficult and you [Heather] have come along and played the music, and its helped me onto the next part of my journey. And that to me is the most important part of your work – is that you’re helping someone else to go further along the path in a peaceful, compassionate way. It helps them to do what they have to do. And I’m amazed at the amount of coincidences of one person meeting another that led to such a positive outcome. We might never have all met each other, but we did. And I think we were meant to meet one another and meant to do what we’ve done. And the creative work that you’ve done, and with the companionship that I’ve experienced with this work. So I would like to encourage you all to keep working in that field [of spiritually based music in health care and palliative care] that is just as valuable in it’s own way as what the doctors and nurses do, because you’re helping to heal somebody spiritually, not just physically or psychologically” – Julie Edwards, 2019.
