Todd was hoping to go to Soul’s sound healing shortly before he passed. I was going to bring him but he just was too unwell. I started talking to our mutual friend Karen of Payton's Promise Sanctuary and we decided to bring a sound healing to Todd. We both were excited about the possibility and reviewed what we had. Karen has a tuning fork, I have some bells and a singing bowl. But Ena had something called an ocean drum. It sounds exactly like the ocean! Hers was really large… a professional’s instrument. It sounded exactly like the ocean, she’s quite proficient playing it. I couldn’t get it out of my head. I decided to learn more about them and bought one the next day planning to include it for Todd. Here’s a little audio clip for you. Mine sounds slightly tinny upon recording but I promise you in person it does not. Mine did not arrive in time to play for Todd and we didn’t get to do a mini healing for him, things just progressed too fast at the end. I think he would’ve loved what we were planning. Instead, I’m making a concerted effort to play my crystal bowl and ocean drum every day. I need to add my bells… they clear energy! I play this drum to my “audience” of one of his teeny tie dye Grateful Dead dancing bears and a small smiling “love” avocado he got at Food for Thought. (Remo brand, 16” fiberskyn drum with see through top).
