QUIET PLACES. A gentle reminder of Spirit's presence (Deutsch)
With Norma Gentile 
One of the things that I experience as a musician is that the sound coming from my body as I sing shows me how I am feeling. In order to sing long sustained notes I have to be rooted into the core of my body. The breath will falter and the notes shake if I am nervous, ungrounded, or unsure of myself. With the Native American Flute, some notes will simply not come out of the instrument if the player's belly is tense.
Lenore, who plays Native American Flutes, and I, sang and played together on a recent afternoon in my home. We are old friends, and meet in musical agreement easily. We both know how to listen to Spirit. As we did that together, we let the breath that we inhaled become the audible sound of Spirit moving out through us into the world.
We had no music. We had no musical or healing goals. We simply rested into the deep quiet of Spirit and let ourselves be carried into the silence between the notes. I invite you each to close your eyes and to do the same, diving ever deeper into not just the notes, but the silences. It is during the final silence, at the end of the song, that your body receives and integrates into itself the healing energies offered during the song. Nothing will happen except that which you are ready to receive.
May the quiet places of Spirit speak to you with great ease.
Norma
