The Sound of Healing with Reggie Hubbard

1 hour 12 minutes

Hosted by Kevin Young. Produced by J’aime Rothbard.

Listen to hear a powerful and playful discourse that flows from racial anger to curiosity, skepticism, critical thinking, surrender and stroke recovery. Reggie speaks about how his unwavering self-care practices unleashed the transformative alchemy of inner peace. He also describes teaching peace and mindfulness practices to political activists and US Congress members, supporting their need for grounding in chaotic times.

He also invites us to: - Express our grief and connect with our emotions rather than avoiding difficult feelings - Consider suffering as a collective experience of shared understanding and support - Embrace our vulnerability and surrender ego to open deeper connections and healing - Replace our need for results with non-attachment to enhance our peace and presence - Welcome life's dark moments as paths to deeper understanding and authenticity

Throughout this conversation, Reggie demonstrates his use of sound bowls and gongs to facilitate emotional release and healing.
