“Thank you for helping me to connect to my soul with such tenderness and beauty. I realized that I have been on the outside looking in for awhile. I felt so integrated after our time. I felt a calming weight in my being. My tears felt cleansing and renewing and usually I don’t feel that way after an emotional release. I truly did feel like I connected to “the language of the soul,” and you helped bring forth that language as “soul interpreter.”

“You offer love, belonging, and grace. You have a well inside of you that has given life to and birthed so much beauty, life, and freedom in the world. You bring about redemption and bravely break societal expectations to share love with others. ”

Background

I use a Sound Healing program called Mosaic of Healing. Mosaic of Healing was developed by Ana Do Valle under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Porges. It is a ten-session multi-disciplinary intervention done once a day for 60 minutes.

Mosaic of Healing combines the Safe and Sound Protocol with watercolor painting, mandala making, and poem creation.

What to Expect

We begin each one hour Google Hangout session with a five minute check-in and ten minutes of meditation.

Then we make a mandala with nine family photos and objects found in nature and your home (rocks, feathers, leaves, special objects).

Next, we begin the thirty-minute music program over headphones and you listen while you paint with watercolors.

When the music finishes, we take the final fifteen minutes to check in with your body and emotional state, do some accessible body movement, and make a collaborative poem using words brought up by interacting with your painting.

Results

The Mosaic of Healing helps you access a state of calmness and grounding even when you are dealing with times of stress, anxiety, and trauma.

It opens up space between an event and your reaction to that event. Within that space, you will find you get to choose your response rather than being hijacked by emotions or puppeted by old behavior patterns.

With time and practice, you can actually reprogram your habitual responses so that you move through life with more spaciousness and ease.

It has shown significant results in improving:

• Social and emotional difficulties

• Auditory sensitivities

• Anxiety and depression

• Trauma-related symptoms

• Stressors impacting social engagement
