About Julie Lusk

I never thought I’d ever be a writer, national speaker or recording artist. In fact, I had good reasons for those beliefs, but that’s a different story. But here I am, living proof that if you allow the flow of life, intuition, grace, good relationships, synchronicity, inspiration and action to be your guide and foundation, surprising things happen. Somehow, your own true purpose and path will find you and support your efforts (yes, it also takes honing your skills and hard work too).

These days, I’m fortunate to regularly offer weekly yoga classes in-person and virtually. National and international workshops on yoga, meditation, guided imagery and deep relaxation are given. This combo gives me a nice balance of having the joy and comfort of cultivating ongoing relationships and watching people grow in body, mind and spirit, with the stimulation and challenge of designing original workshops and retreats, meeting new people and traveling to interesting places.

Businesses, schools and various organizations often invite me in to offer training in Desktop Yoga (R), stress management, and wellness strategies. It’s so rewarding to watch people begin feeling energized and empowered on the spot!

I love learning. I earned a graduate degree from VA Tech in counseling and have received training in numerous types of yoga ranging from extremely relaxing to quite vigorous. This centered me on the middle path. There have been plenty of courses and retreats in yoga nidra, meditation, guided imagery, deep relaxation, energy work, and music. Of course, living life, and my family and friends, have taught me the most. See more about my education, training, and publications here.

Wholesome Resources is the interesting business I developed over 20 years ago. We believe that stress relief, wellness strategies, and mind-body techniques are essential ingredients for personal and professional happiness. We offer training and workshops for large and small groups at both worksites and retreat centers. Individual mentoring too.

In the past, my work has included being regional director of six hospital-based holistic health and wellness centers (2 yrs), director of a health management center at a large medical clinic (10 yrs), assistant dean of students at a liberal arts college (7 yrs), director of a community college special services program (4 years), volunteer director of the Alive & Well Coalition (5 yrs), an awareness counselor in WV (2 yrs) … and other duties as assigned.

My home, with my husband and dogs, is in the greater Cincinnati area. For fun, I enjoy making friends, hiking, playing music (flute, drums, harmonium, didgeridoo), making art messes, and reading all sorts of stuff. I look forward to meeting you!

Flute Music | Scales | Embellishments | Lessons

Playing your Native American Style Flute | There are no wrong notes! All notes harmonize melodically. Reading music is not needed.

Go HERE for handy playing tips, flute care & troubleshooting for Native American style flutes.

Music Learn to play songs using a unique way of ‘reading music.’ Pictures of what notes to cover and uncover are used instead of reading traditional music. This makes learning very easy to play. Here is the basic scale.

Fundamentals
- Scales and Arpeggios. Get started on the minor pentatonic and major scales. Enjoy advancing to arpeggios, the blues scale, mixolydian and mode 4 pentatonic scales. All on 1-page! Get a chart of musical terms and markings to read timing, embellishments, etc.
- Templates Julie devised in 2020 to write out your own music. Simply use the staff paper lines to make 6 vertical circles for each finger hole. Next, pencil in the circles to show which holes to cover. Lyrics go on the dotted lines in between. The half page format has room below for notes and instructions. Use the full page format for longer songs. Happy creating!
- Chakra Tone Chart See the yoga (Vedic) and Tibetan notes and tones used for balancing chakras by either increasing or decreasing their energy with sound. Yoga (Vedic) notes and tones are based on the diatonic scale. Tibetan tones and notes are based upon the perfect 5th. Try both to see what is best for you. Learn more about chakras here.
- Easy Hand Warm-ups Here’s a great 5-minute series of hand movements & mudras to help your fingers, wrists & hands with easy-to-remember names for each one. Great for musicians & anyone with stiff, painful fingers, hands or wrists. Learn the Hakini Mudra, Beak, Bug, Claw, Paw, Seed, Web, Wings, Eagle & Hridaya.

Chakra Balancing with Sound Healing

How to Balance & Tune
Chakra Energy
Using Healing Sound Vibrations

Page Summary | Chakra Energy | Sound Healing | Chakra Tone Chart

Chakra Energy

Chakras are spinning wheels of subtle energy. The major chakras span from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. They guide the wellbeing of our bodymind and lifeforce energy. You can learn more about chakras and their influences here. Get info related to chakra elements, directions, sounds, senses, and other attributes here.

Chakra energy is often out of balance. It can run too high or too low. This can negatively influence your actions, relationships, as well as your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Use my Chakra Chart to help you in knowing if your energy is balanced, excessive, or deficient. A variety of helpful strategies are given to improve your wellbeing.

There is a lot you can do to gain balance and have better health by either increasing or decreasing chakra energy. This can be supported through intentionally using sound, color, crystals, and mantra. Yoga postures and pranayama (breathwork) influence the chakras. Healthy lifestyle choices make a difference. Meditation, guided relaxation and imagery are very effective. Using hand and finger positions called Yoga Mudras are also powerful.

Sound Healing

Sound healing intentionally uses musical instruments and vocals to help with harmonizing the body, mind, emotions, and spirit into wholeness. A positive impact on wellbeing happens when these dimensions are tuned and in balance.

Sensing calmness, connections, mental clarity, emotional equilibrium, insightful awareness, and balanced energy often happen.

A variety of instruments can be used including Tibetan and crystal bowls, tuning forks, drums, bells, flutes, gongs, chimes, strings, and keyboards. Vocal singing and toning are powerful as well.

The tones, frequencies, and vibrations used in sound healing are experienced both physically and energetically. Obviously, sounds are heard with the ears. Not so obviously, they are experienced and absorbed through the skin, by the cells, and in the energy field.

Sound healing facilitates vibrant health by activating the relaxation response, synchronizing and activating brainwave frequencies beneficially, and supporting heart coherence. It has been shown to regulate the nervous system. Chakra energy is often toned and harmonized. Chakra disharmony is discussed below.

Sound healing is based on age-old teachings and backed up by modern science. It’s interesting, relaxing, and fun.

Chakra Tone Chart

This Chakra Tone Chart can help balance your chakra energy to improve your wellbeing. These sound vibrations are based on ancient Vedic (Yoga) and Tibetan notes and tones, and western music.

Use this Chakra Chart to help you know if your energy is balanced, excessive, or deficient. It gives you a variety of helpful strategies to improve your wellbeing.

Try all the healing sound vibrations to find out what you like and works best for you. Notice your felt reaction to each of these scales, notes, and sounds to determine how your bodymind responds to each vibration.

The Sargam scale from Indian music goes from the lowest to the highest note of any scale (like solfege or do-re-mi). This makes it very versatile. It allows you to start on any note depending on your vocal range or the instruments you have on hand. For example, if you have Tibetan or crystal bowls, start on the lowest tone for the root chakra and play progressively higher tones for ascending up through the chakras.
Yoga (Vedic) tones are based on the western diatonic scale.
Tibetan tones and notes are based upon the perfect 5th interval.
Bija sounds encode the 5 elements into sound. They are used to stimulate and strengthen chakra energy when depleted.
Vowel tones diffuse, connect, and move energy. They are helpful to calm and soothe energy and when energy is excessive.
- Alternate vowels are sometimes used instead of those shown on the chart. Try these variations out on yourself to find out which vowels resonant most for you. They are Root – UH (as in huh). Sacral – OOO (two). Solar Plexus – OH (toe). Heart – AH (awe). Throat – EYE (eye). Third eye – AYE (play). Crown – EEE (speak).
