Julie’s Music History
Julie has loved exploring music since childhood. She babysat 5 boys when she was in 6th grade for 50 cents an hour to buy her first stereo.

Julie studied piano from elementary school through college. Crushed but undeterred, she was rejected from the choir in 5th grade. Recitals were a disaster with awful memories of freezing up like a statue. Even though her self-esteem hurt for decades, she never gave up. For years, she only played for her pets.

Julie started playing classical flute when the Lusks owned a music store. She began playing Native American flutes about 10 years ago. Julie also plays harmonium, Tibetan bowls, chimes, didgeridoo, drums, and the harp. Julie was a Drums for Fun member for 15 years.

Julie is Certified by the Sound Healing Academy (SHA) in the Foundations of Integral Sound Healing for Multi Instruments – Level 1. The course covered how to give individual and group sound healing sessions. It included how to play singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, chimes, frame drum, and voice. Julie studied The Art of Creating Sound Healing Journeys With the Power of the 5 Elements, a 7-week course led by Bodhi Starwater/Setchko and Music Medicine, a 7-week course by Laura Inserra. She completed SHA’s 30-hour course in Integral Sound Healing with Tuning Forks in addition to John Beaulieu’s 4-week tuning fork course.

Chakra Balancing with Toning and Hand Mudras

Chakras, Mudras, and Sound Healing

Learn an Elemental and Chakra Meditation with
Hand movements, Color, Sound, and Intention

The major chakras are spinning wheels of energy that span from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. They guide the wellbeing of our bodymind and LifeForce energy.

Chakra energy can be balanced, excessive, or deficient. Being out of balance can negatively influence your actions, relationships, as well as your physical, mental, and emotional health. Use my Chakra Chart to determine if your energy is in balance or not. You’ll get a variety of helpful strategies to improve your wellbeing.

Yoga Mudras are yoga positions, gestures, and seals for your hands and fingers that facilitate health, healing, psychological balance and spiritual transformation. They are effective, easy to learn, practical and powerful. Mudras can be a powerful and effective way to help gain balance and have better health by either increasing or decreasing chakra energy.

Sound healing can also be used for chakra balancing.

Elemental & Chakra Meditation with
Hand Movements, Color, Sound, and Intention

See how the fingers and the thumb are associated with specific chakras and their associated sounds with this color-coded hand diagram.

Bija sounds encode the 5 elements into sound and increase and attract energy. They are lam, vam, ram, yam, ham, Om, and silence. They are pronounced with a ‘U’ sound and rhyme with hum. Vowel sounds decrease and disperse energy.

Experiment & Discover | Hum. Play a variety of sounds, tones, notes, and musical instruments. Use your intuition. Tune in and trust your direct experience by listening and noticing your physical and energetic response.

Mudra Hand Meditation | Tone & touch the thumb to each fingertip on both hands. Try starting on the ring finger (4^th finger) for the first chakra. The index and thumb are used for both the 3^rd and 4^th chakras. Join fingertips and thumb for OM. Reopen hand for silence. Alternatively, try starting with the OM and descend from the crown chakra to the root using the associated finger and sounds.

Tuning Fork Meditation | Listen to unweighted tuning forks associated with the chakra notes. Touch a weighted OM fork to fingertips and center of palm on both hands. Treat both hands.

OM | Find out about the purpose, meaning, symbolism, and benefits of OM.
