Medicine Songs
The Songbook
The songs, with the words, the recordings, and an invitation to sing them.
Most have two recordings — sing along, in unison, come in wherever you are; and learn the song, call and response, the way I teach it.
The songs

On singing your medicine song
You are invited to sing along with the recordings, make up your own melody, or simply listen and take in the melody and vibrations receptively. Or pick another song that comes to you, and sing that for your medicine song practice.
Medicine songs are the sound of healing in motion. This is not about the “voice quality” of the singer. Sing your heart out without concern for getting anything perfect or sounding “good.” Singing comes from a different place in our being, brain, and body than speaking. Breathe deeply and explore your inner music. Allow the vibrations that come from you — and what you hear — to move through your body, and see what happens.
The song doesn’t need to be original or epic. It doesn’t need to be sung beautifully or in key — just sung from the heart, or soul, or root. It can be a made-up thing, a nursery rhyme, a pop song, a chant, a humming with no words. The options are limitless.
Music has the power to heal. Not just metaphorically — also literally. So explore sound boldly, and expect to find something new.
When you’re ready for what lives beneath the songs — the teaching · the frequency work · the Sanctuary.
Be blessed, and know you are a blessing.
