Original poem:

Grief and Rising

Missing the innocent girl I was
Miss the trusting girl I was
I miss the girl who chased her dream to serve
her country
Thinking that the six guys and chain of command had
killed her,
Just go through the motions
Afraid to trust
Afraid to feel
Dissociate because that is what she was taught
Sometimes I have thought, “why did you not fight them and make them kill you, why did you just lay there, why did you not jump when you had the chance”
Sometimes I have wanted to get rid of this body, to hide this body
so that men would not look at me or hurt me again
But the belief it happened because of what I was wearing and that
I was too drunk came from society, not me.

It is time to unlearn everything that society has taught me,
Time to learn to feel, to stay present, to cry, to be angry, to laugh, to sing,
to dance, to dream, to tell my truth.
I am learning every day that there are more threads to me
That I have been rising and changing, rediscovering who I am
becoming who I want to be
putting the broken pieces back together and becoming an arrow
continuing to rise into the light.
Shining light on the things that I have never told anyone
letting go of old habits, old ways of doing things
I will become who I want to be and the world is going to hear me, ROAR!!

I will speak my truth, and they will hear me.
I do not care what they think
No more excuses! No more abuse
I am back! I have the little girl back. She is stronger
She is beautiful. Yes she is changed, but she is complex, caring,
compassionate, understanding and she is faultless

She has brought with her: Patience, Truth, Anger, and Empowerment
She is not alone and together we will rise.

Waves, a poem I wrote while I was serving in the US Navy. I wrote this while I was on deployment in 2006. It talks about what happened to me. This song talks about my chain of command. This song talks about the victim blaming/shaming, emotional abuse and retaliation that I went through. There is no place for rape in the US military or in society. It's beyond time that this stop.  

You can read more about my story in my book, The Boulders in My Life that Shaped My Journey. I am joined by my dear friend and fellow Navy Veteran JS Worldbridger.

Emotional healing can be a challenging yet rewarding journey. It's often filled with ups and downs. To navigate this process, many people turn to various methods that encourage self-exploration and growth. One increasingly popular approach is sound therapy, particularly through instruments like the Jupiter and Chiron Gong. This post will explore how these gongs can be powerful tools for emotional release and transformation.

Understanding the Jupiter and Chiron Gong

The Jupiter Gong radiates expansive energy that is not only powerful but also deeply transformative, embodying essential qualities such as growth, optimism, and enlightenment. The sound produced by this remarkable instrument is often described by practitioners as uplifting and invigorating, creating an atmosphere that fosters joy and a profound sense of abundance. Many individuals who have experienced its resonance report feelings of lightness and elation, as if the weight of their worries has been lifted. For instance, in a recent study focused on sound therapy participants, an impressive 75% of respondents indicated that they felt more optimistic and hopeful about their lives following a session with the Jupiter Gong. This statistic underscores the gong's ability to positively influence mental and emotional states, facilitating a deeper connection to one’s inner self and the universe at large.

Chiron, often referred to as the "Wounded Healer," serves as a significant symbol within the realm of healing and personal growth. It represents not only our emotional pain and the wounds we carry but also highlights the potential for healing and transformation that arises from these very struggles. The Chiron Gong is particularly resonant and powerful, emphasizing themes of vulnerability and courage as integral components of the healing journey. When this gong is played, its tones resonate with the emotional depths of individuals, allowing them to confront their vulnerabilities and embrace their journey toward healing. The experience can often be cathartic, enabling participants to release pent-up emotions and begin to mend their inner wounds.

When the Jupiter Gong and the Chiron Gong are played together, they create a uniquely rich and harmonious sound experience that transcends ordinary auditory perception. The combination of their frequencies generates a complex tapestry of sound that can penetrate deep emotional layers, facilitating profound cathartic release and healing. This collaborative resonance encourages participants to explore their inner landscapes, uncovering hidden emotions and fostering a sense of unity between mind, body, and spirit. As the gongs interact, they create a dialogue of sound that amplifies the healing process, allowing individuals to navigate their emotional journeys with greater ease and clarity. The synergistic effect of these gongs not only enhances individual experiences but also fosters a collective sense of healing within group settings, making them powerful tools for transformation and self-discovery.
