health is really what set her off

and led her down this journey into

5

her first sound healing experience.

6

Trust me, you are gonna

7

Since then, Danielle has built.

8

A six figure sound Healing School

sound embrace, and teaches others

9

how to break free and do what

they really love abundantly.

10

This is a powerful conversation

about letting go, letting go of fear,

11

letting go of judgment and control.

12

Today, Danny is known as a pioneer

in the sound healing industry

13

and has been invited to so many

incredible spaces like Shift Network,

14

Daybreaker, and has been with us.

15

Since year one of our Online retreat

now in its fifth year this fall, she's

16

weaved the scientific and spirituality

in her teaching and empowers her

17

students to find the spaces where they

will thrive and make lasting impact.

18

And before we enter the portal with Danny.

19

I just have a really

quick favor to ask of you.

20

Just look at the podcast app that

you're listening to right now and

21

ensure you're subscribed to the show.

22

It really helps us grow this podcast

and connect with even more listeners

23

as we continue to bring incredible

experts and practical and magical

24

tips that you need for your journey.

25

The vortex is opening.

26

Let's jump in with Danny Hall.

27

Hey Danny, I'm so excited

to have you here today.

28

You have been like const, you know,

I just realized like you've been

29

here throughout my whole career,

pretty much with the wild ones in the

30

community since the very beginning,

since the very first it's so special.

31

I don't, how did you even find me?

32

Because you, you found me and

I was like, looking at your

33

stuff and I'm like, hell yeah.

34

I wanna be a part of this.

35

This chick's rad.

36

And this was even before I was like

out there doing the stuff, right?

37

Someone turned me onto

you and I was like, yes.

38

Yes.

39

I just loved all the

things that you were doing.

40

I loved your voice and what you were

speaking up about and yeah, you're just,

41

uh, incredible human and I love that we've

been able to carry on this friendship

42

and this partnership for a long time.

43

And soon we will meet in person.

44

You know, that, that

would be really special.

45

'cause you know, when we have these

opportunities of collaboration,

46

it's also, we we're kind of

seeing each other grow up.

47

In a sense and evolve in how we're we're

sharing our heart and our passions in the

48

world, and it's so cool and inspiring.

49

To continue to, to, to orbit your world.

50

You know, I love that you say that too.

51

I love, like every time I see

somebody we've had on, they write

52

a book or they're on a podcast or

they're launching a new product,

53

I'm always just like, yes, yes, yes.

54

Like I'm the biggest

cheerleader and I always.

55

Feel like everyone is my biggest

cheerleader too, like when I'm launching

56

or doing something, and it's like

basically you've created this community

57

of incredible people that are up to so

many amazing things that it blows my mind.

58

I just, well, what I really love about.

59

What you're doing is it actually helps

me in what I'm doing because, you know,

60

I can send people out your way and say,

Hey, this chick is doing some rad stuff

61

and has this really great foundation

for where somebody is in their journey.

62

And a, a lot of like the, the door

opener experiences that you're

63

offering, help to connect the dots.

64

A lot of times for, um, people who

are coming to me in sound healing.

65

And so, you know, I just think that

there's, there's so much opportunity there

66

for growth, for our, our potential, you

know, communities that are coming in,

67

we can grow them and help nurture them

and support them in whatever direction

68

that they're really trying to to go.

69

And you have, like you were saying, like

you have so many incredible people that.

70

Come in on your offerings, on these

virtual retreats and it's like,

71

yeah, some people are gonna be

stoked about the crystal conversation

72

or the Reiki conversation, or

the Feng shui conversation, or

73

the sound healing conversation.

74

And it really starts to, uh, just

meet people where they're at.

75

So I love it.

76

I love what you're doing.

77

The one thing I just wanna

say really quick that I always

78

think it's just so important.

79

I think we're moving away from

this world of like, look at

80

me and look what I am doing.

81

And it just being like a one person show

and it's kind of coming into more of

82

a space where we're collaborating and

getting part of, uh, each other's world

83

and sharing each other's things and.

84

It just feels so yummy

and delicious to me.

85

So I, yeah, I got chills

when you said that.

86

That's definitely where I am at in

this kind of the last two years.

87

Especially just wanting to be more

in collaborative spaces and realizing

88

that I don't have to do this on my own.

89

Yes.

90

Oh my gosh.

91

Yes.

92

And you know, I think some of it

too, like throughout my journey.

93

I didn't know who to trust, I didn't

know who to trust in the conversation of

94

spirituality or sound healing or rake, you

know, and all of these other practices.

95

'cause I really didn't, didn't

subscribe to, you know, these

96

types of modalities before.

97

And so it's taken a lot, like I've

been doing sound healing now for 12

98

years, a little over 12 years now.

99

And you know, it, it's, I've been an

island, a lonely island for that long and.

100

You know, it's so refreshing to,

to do what I've been doing for as

101

long as I've been doing it, and feel

grounded in myself and have my own.

102

You know, different awakenings

and evolution of self to now

103

see and know who are the right

people for me in collaboration.

104

And I think people are trying to figure

out what does that look like though?

105

Or they, they have to have this

huge audience to not do it alone.

106

Or what are some other ways that

people can collaborate that are

107

not just big events like we do

with the retreat every year.

108

You know, what's something

that they can do that's small?

109

So that's.

110

I mean, I work on all that stuff with,

with clients that I help with their

111

business all the time because, and

it's always that foundational piece.

112

You, you too though, have been in part

of so many incredible collaborations.

113

You've done tons of incredible stuff.

114

Yeah.

115

You've a Daybreaker

and you're always like.

116

Here's the 10 things that

I have going on this week

117

on your social media.

118

We're like, holy crap.

119

You're constantly, constantly being

a part of other people's worlds.

120

Yeah.

121

You know, I think, I think for me,

like the Daybreaker or you know,

122

something with Lululemon, those are.

123

Really, really fun.

124

They're, they're opportunities where

they have approached me to be a part

125

of a thing that they've created, right?

126

Mm-hmm.

127

Like, but what I'm really excited about

are the opportunities to collaborate.

128

In kind of joint where two, two

different powers come together and

129

create this, this really special thing.

130

You know, it's not just me being

hired to, to step in a place like

131

it is a true co-creation of sorts.

132

And I see, you know, a lot more of

those ideas are sparking and how I could

133

do that with my alumni, for example.

134

Mm-hmm.

135

How can I create more opportunities

for a, for my alumni who've

136

graduated my certification program?

137

In a way that's going to benefit both of

us for their evolution of their business.

138

And also, you know, you know, showing

other sound healing practitioners

139

that, Hey, you know what, this is,

this is a collaborative effort.

140

We're all going through the same things.

141

How can we uplift each other and be a part

of a really, uh, supportive community?

142

'cause we're, we're all going

through the same stuff, learning

143

the same things, needing some of the

same things and the same support.

144

But those are some things that

are exciting me at the moment.

145

I'm here cheering you on for it.

146

Can't wait to see what you heard.

147

Sorry.

148

No, we like go right in 'cause we've

been hanging out for a while now.

149

But I would love for others to

get the experience of, you've

150

talked about sound, sound healing.

151

We're talking about that today, but I

really wanna know what your mission is

152

like, what pulls you forward as a sound

healer to continue doing what you do.

153

Hmm.

154

My mission is really a personal

one, and it's not one that I really

155

broadcast as much in my, in what

you see online and things like that.

156

It's really to find the other Danielle

halls out there who didn't know to be more

157

curious about their health and wellness.

158

The first 28 years of my life, I was

on again, off again, sick, and it

159

wasn't until 28 where I became not my

normal sick and I was losing my hair.

160

I was losing the enamel on my teeth.

161

I had migraines, chronic migraines,

chronic constipation, various skin

162

challenges, and inflammation and.

163

It wasn't until, you know, kind of, I

think a lot of us, um, like what, what

164

is the catalyst for someone to change?

165

Right?

166

And for me, in this

particular case, it took me.

167

I realizing I was going to be 28 years

old, bald and toothless, uh, to, to,

168

to then become open to other forms of

healing and other potential modality.

169

Even the word modality grossed me out.

170

Um, I was very much, you know, army

brat, you know, you do what you're told,

171

you put your hands in your lap, you're

seen, not heard kind of growing up.

172

Mm-hmm.

173

You're not supposed to question

things, and I don't think that that's

174

necessarily, you know, trying to.

175

To cast any negativity with my parents,

I just think that they did the best

176

they could with what they had, right?

177

Mm-hmm.

178

But there's the, that conversation of

like cultivating curiosity came out

179

of these chronic symptoms that were

the catalyst for me to be open to.

180

A naturopathic doctor, fast forward, find

out it's a gluten allergy, take gluten

181

outta my diet, and felt what healthy

felt like for the first time in my life

182

and it really felt like a second chance.

183

And that's when I started to become

open to, okay, if I wasn't open to

184

going to a naturalpathic doctor.

185

What else am I not open to?

186

And so that's when I went to my

first yoga class, my first massage,

187

and kind of going through what

are the narratives in my head, I.

188

That stopped me from doing these things.

189

What were the judgements?

190

The hidden judgments?

191

The unconscious judgments that I was

placing on all of these things and

192

the people who did these things that

prevented me from the blessings of the

193

practices of what the practices could

give in San Francisco at the time,

194

and, and San Francisco has a lot of.

195

Wellness opportunities.

196

Um, some legit, some not so legit.

197

But I did go to a sound bath and it, it.

198

This first sound bath awakened me to I,

I was already healing in so many ways

199

physically, but this sound, this first

sound bath I had awakened me to the

200

mental and emotional challenges that were

associated with my old body and the old,

201

that old conversation of living in a sick

body for so long and I ended up signing

202

up for their certification program.

203

Not thinking that I was gonna

become a sound healing practitioner.

204

Um, I just have this awareness of, you

know, there's so much happening right now

205

in the world of health and wellness and

so many autoimmune and different things.

206

There's such a huge conversation around

allergies and gluten and I was just

207

like, what if all this is here for us?

208

To find, to get closer to who we are.

209

To go on that curious journey, to go

on that exploration a little bit more.

210

And hey, I am with many

of you where it sucks.

211

I hate it.

212

I don't like it either.

213

The health curiosity journey

is no fun, and I'm so happy

214

that you found it was gluten.

215

Sweet.

216

Like when that happens, it's amazing.

217

But I just kind of had this

awareness that maybe that's one of

218

the things that is helping a lot

of us get out of our conditioning.

219

We start on this journey of understanding

our bodies a little bit deeper

220

than what, what we had in the past.

221

So that's amazing.

222

So I know that your first.

223

Sound healing experience.

224

I love this story.

225

It's so good.

226

And I think it's so potent

and so powerful for others.

227

'cause it's not like you just walked

into class and you're like, this is

228

amazing and I can't wait you to, oh no,

it's not like it was like that, right?

229

Like you're still walking in with

all your Danny Conditioning and like,

230

okay, what is this gonna be like?

231

Will you just share with us that

experience was like for you?

232

Oh my God, I forgot I told you that story.

233

That is funny.

234

You're pulling it out of the archive.

235

Yes, it's good.

236

Oh my gosh, y'all.

237

Yeah.

238

You know, like we all find our way

to sound healing in our own kind way.

239

Right?

240

So I, you know, okay, this sound bath was.

241

Free 99.

242

I am down for it.

243

I show up in my Nike lifts, my skinny

jeans and my Giants baseball hat to.

244

You know, being greeted by this

gentleman who I, at the time, I'm

245

just gonna say it like I was judgy.

246

It was super judgy.

247

The guy had dropped crotch pants, no

shirt and a vest, you know, and he was

248

just, you know, got, I love it so much.

249

Just there was like bad patchouli

burning, you know, it was, and I'm looking

250

around the room and there's a Jesus and

a Quan and a Buddha and, uh, ju like.

251

Tie dye.

252

I just didn't understand how all

of these things came together.

253

It was like this hodgepodge of things.

254

And you know, this guy

is like, um, welcome.

255

And, uh, I was so confused,

you know, I thought just,

256

where is this dude from anyway?

257

He's like, you know, you're gonna come

in, you're gonna go down there, you're

258

gonna leave your things in the cubby

and then you're gonna go lay down.

259

So I'm like, all right, I, and you know,

I, I think with anybody, and, and I

260

think this is important for anybody who's

starting on that kind of awakening space,

261

so just that curiosity space, right?

262

It doesn't have to be a spiritual

awakening to ignite, you

263

know, to have your curiosity

going and learn something new.

264

But a lot of times we don't

have the community of people yet

265

that are wanting to go with us.

266

Uh, or are interested

in that conversation.

267

And so we're, a lot of times we're,

we're having to put our brave pants

268

on and walk into something that

we've never done before, alone.

269

Um, and so here I was alone.

270

I'm trying to get past all of the, the

things that are happening in the space.

271

And I, I look, you know, I go around

the corner and I see this group of

272

people who are wearing fur and glitter.

273

And feathers, and they're

massaging each other and there's a.

274

A cuddle puddle.

275

It's like, it's like every hodgepodge

thing you could possibly think of.

276

It's all in one room for you.

277

It was all in one room.

278

And I, I mean, I was super beginner.

279

I was super, like, I just

stepping into this world.

280

I didn't know what, um, burning

Man was at the time, and this was a

281

after Burning Man Sound Bath session.

282

Oh, so Israel, okay,

now that sets the tone.

283

Yeah.

284

Everyone just got done meeting at Burning

Man and now they're coming to meet again.

285

Oh my God, I love this so much.

286

Yeah, and they're having

this like, got better.

287

They're just having their reunion.

288

They're just, you know,

loving on each other.

289

And I'm like, what did I just step into?

290

What is.

291

Happening and like, you know,

there's like all these fireworks

292

going off in my brain and I am

like, all right, this room is full.

293

I turn around to leave.

294

I'm just like, this is too much for me.

295

I can't do this.

296

I start walking outta the room and the

guy's like, Hey, where are you going?

297

And I'm like, dude.

298

You know, thank you so

much for your hospitality.

299

Y'all look full.

300

I didn't realize I needed to

bring a pillow and a blanket.

301

I must have missed that

fine print on the website.

302

And of course, you know, in my brain

at the time, I went back and I'm

303

like, that was not on that website.

304

It did not set me up for success, man.

305

But of course by now that whole group

is looking at me and there are two

306

guys like right in the middle of

like this space and they're like,

307

oh, well you can lay in between us.

308

Cool.

309

So now everybody's eyes are on me.

310

I am trying not to freak out

of touching naked elbows with

311

these strangers, you know?

312

And like at the time I

was so body conscious.

313

I hated my body at the time, you know?

314

And I was still going through that

process of, you know, mentally

315

and emotionally feeling safe.

316

My body.

317

And so like this, this was kind of

like getting me to, to my edge here.

318

Um, but I tiptoed through the cuddle

puddles and I sat in between these

319

two dudes and I'm hugging my legs,

and all of a sudden they just turn

320

off the lights and I, I freak out.

321

I, I literally yelled at the

guy, Hey, what's going on?

322

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

323

What are these instruments?

324

What's gonna happen?

325

And the guy was like, you

know, you're gonna be fine.

326

Everything's fine.

327

Be open and really like this.

328

You know this.

329

Phrase actually, you know, was what

settled my nerves a little bit because

330

it was probably about six months.

331

Um, I think at this point it was

like about eight months, um, when

332

I had sat at home after this last

initial doctor visit and crying and

333

just like having that knowing sense,

come over me, you're gonna be fine.

334

Be open.

335

And this guy says something very

similar and I'm like, all right, I'm

336

gonna lay down for this experience.

337

So.

338

I calm myself, I lay down.

339

I'm super rigid and tense, and all of

a sudden I'm able to relax and I, I

340

remember my body relaxing, and then

I was out for, I don't know how long

341

until I started crying, and I just

started crying uncontrollably to a point

342

where I was having these real gut roll.

343

Sounds come up and through sounds that

I didn't even know that I could make.

344

These were just raw, um, sounds in

this deep cry, some howles and I

345

mean, just very uncomfortable for

someone who couldn't control my body.

346

So I would always try to control things

in my environment and then to be in.

347

This position losing control

over my body again when I thought

348

that I was healing, sent me over.

349

And just so you know, if anybody's

listening, this isn't majority of the

350

time, this is not what people experience.

351

If you have a skilled facilitator,

they will see these things coming

352

or showing up in your body.

353

And depending on, you know, what the

intention is of that session, they will

354

know how to shift that facilitation

to make sure that you're supported.

355

These facilitators did not

have that training and.

356

They had to stop the sound bath.

357

The same people that I was, you know,

judging, honestly, I was hardcore judging,

358

got me water, started taking care of me.

359

They formed a circle around

me and started toning.

360

At first I'm like, WTF, what is this?

361

Am I now in a cult?

362

I, I initiated, like, I did

not know what was happening.

363

Uh, just snot so much.

364

Snot.

365

Uh, and then finally, you know,

I was able to get to a place.

366

Where I could speak and like, the

first thing you know I said was, you

367

know, WGF, what just happened to me?

368

Mm.

369

Um, facilitator couldn't explain anything.

370

I had to come back the next day to

the owner of the establishment and

371

get my answers, but I signed up.

372

To be in sound healing.

373

Not because I was like, this is great

and everybody needs this rainbows and

374

unicorns and like relaxing all the things.

375

Mm-hmm.

376

I signed up because I was pissed

off and I needed to understand

377

what was happening to me.

378

And now here we are.

379

Wow.

380

Oh my gosh.

381

Your See, your story is so good

because there's so much there for

382

people that are, I'm sure, listening

right now that are understanding about

383

themselves, of not wanting to go there.

384

Like no wonder you were afraid.

385

No wonder you wanted to turn around.

386

I mean, everything about that was.

387

Full on initiation.

388

Not into the cult, but into

who Danny really is, right?

389

Like that was your initiation to

understanding Danny and who she is,

390

which I love comes back to your mission.

391

Like that's who you're looking for, right?

392

That's who you wanna connect with.

393

Or the Danny's of the world who are

on this journey and haven't quite

394

cracked open yet, haven't quite

gotten curious, haven't quite.

395

Started to let go of their conditioning

and the control that they have

396

over their lives and their bodies.

397

Well, we really do have a lot

more control than we think that

398

we do, but we give our power away.

399

We just give our power.

400

I was giving my power away to the

doctors who I wanted to trust them, but

401

they like continually over and over and

over, over this vast period of time.

402

I was just on one medication

over the next medication.

403

There was, you know what?

404

Like other people are walking

around in the world and feeling

405

healthy and not having these crazy

symptoms that I was experiencing.

406

Why can't I, like, I couldn't

even ask myself that question.

407

I just accepted the

cards that I was dealt.

408

And I think, you know, in a Sound Bath

session, one of the things that I find

409

that is so special and so potent about.

410

A sound bath session is that it

allows you to get to a point where

411

you are not your body, you are not

the labels that you put on yourself

412

or that society puts on yourself.

413

Um, you, you get, you could get to a point

of relaxation that you are un, that you

414

are now unburdened by all of the stories.

415

That we tell ourselves, and when we can

get to a point where we're not in living

416

in that narrative, all of a sudden it

just opens the door that much for you

417

to see the world in a different way and

see it from a different perspective.

418

That's what I think was so powerful

for me experiencing so many soundbars

419

and then becoming a facilitator,

is that I got to see myself.

420

What are all of these, these judgments

of myself, judgments of others, and how

421

those perpetuated a fear narrative that

wasn't allowing me to really, uh, step

422

into alignment with speaking my truth

or acting in alignment with my truth.

423

The person that I was at 28 is not

the person who I am today at 42.

424

Yeah, I could take some lessons from her.

425

I don't need to shame

Danielle at 28, but I.

426

I don't need to live that life

of Danielle at 28 anymore.

427

So like, how do we create these pockets

of time, these pockets throughout

428

our day or our week, you know, every

day to, um, cultivate that curiosity

429

within what is ours, what is not ours?

430

How can I feel better?

431

Just the awareness of not feeling

good and, and being in the

432

emotion of the thing is healthy.

433

To, to move past, get to that

space where we are no longer who

434

we keep saying we are, or with the

labels that we put on ourselves and

435

letting go of the control of it.

436

Oh, yes.

437

Yeah.

438

Yeah.

439

That's a big piece.

440

Like you gotta let, you gotta just lay

there and let the, the sound current

441

run through you the way that it runs

through you, and it does what it does.

442

Absolutely.

443

And then after take what

serves and leave, what doesn't.

444

Like if there's a label that

you've been, you know, clocking

445

in with every day, maybe you just

leave that there at the sound bag.

446

Yeah, but you're right.

447

Like it really, every single session, it

meets you exactly where you are mentally,

448

emotionally, physically, spiritually.

449

And so every experience a participant

will have will be completely different.

450

Uh, every single time they go.

451

Mm-hmm.

452

Yeah.

453

We learned in, uh, Kundalini yoga teacher

training that the sound current actually

454

comes through into your subconscious to

help release blocks and unearth things or

455

bring things to light or release things.

456

So there's something.

457

In the yogic tradition.

458

Anyway, that talks about the sound

current In Kundalini yoga, we do a lot of

459

chanting, we do mantras and we do singing,

and it's a big part of what we do.

460

We do the movement as

everyone does with yoga.

461

But there's the chanting piece too,

which I have my, I have my, uh,

462

initiation story too with that because I,

463

I.

464

My first Kundalini yoga experience,

I could, I could resonate with that.

465

Yeah.

466

And now I'm all about, I'm

just like, oh yeah, so, right.

467

Like with your sound healing, you're

like, thank God I had that initiation.

468

And I was like, the Danielle, you were at

28 that said, I'm gonna figure this out.

469

I'm not ready to let go.

470

I'm gonna figure out what this

is and why this does this.

471

So I'm curious, as you

were on that journey.

472

You know, signed up for sound healing

training, doing more sound healings.

473

What, when did this shift happen

for you of like, whoa, this is,

474

this is more than I thought it was.

475

This is so powerful and

everybody needs this.

476

What was that experience for you?

477

I think it, it was more

of a gradual thing.

478

I was about two weeks into the program

and, you know, I, um, representation

479

became very obvious to me.

480

Um, of, you know, it was majority a white

class and very, very specific demographics

481

in terms of, it was a specific look.

482

It was our hippies, you

know, who were in my class.

483

And, and I don't mean that

as a, a negative thing.

484

I think that everyone is

drawn to something different.

485

But I realized in my class that.

486

There wasn't a diversity of the narrative.

487

There wasn't a diversity

of, uh, the people.

488

And, you know, and when I was looking back

at why I didn't go to massage, you know,

489

when I, when I had my first massage, for

example, I realized that the narrative

490

was I needed to have disposable income.

491

I needed to be rich.

492

Mm-hmm.

493

To do that.

494

Right.

495

That's a particular demographic.

496

Mm-hmm.

497

Um, you know, with yoga, I was like,

oh, I wasn't going to yoga because.

498

I'm five feet tall, brunette,

and every marketing that I see is

499

like tall, blonde, very flexible.

500

Women.

501

Right?

502

And that just wasn't my body type.

503

And so I was looking at this as, okay,

if I'm not seeing myself in this space,

504

then my black and brown friends are

not seeing themselves in these spaces.

505

My friends who are more, um, uh,

around the, like the science and

506

the, the research of sound like.

507

They're not gonna get behind this

because you know, that's what they need.

508

And so I was starting to find like,

well, what if I, this is such a powerful

509

tool, how can I share this so that it

does become that much more accessible?

510

And so then there's me and how I dress

and how I approach life and you know, how

511

I, you know, shifted that narrative in

my marketing and my branding to begin to.

512

To bring that in and started

doing corporate wellness

513

programs and um, therapy centers.

514

And now, you know, I'm getting

into different communities, I'm

515

getting into different spaces.

516

And then that next step was teaching,

uh, because again, like I knew that

517

if I wanted my mission to really

ripple out and create a world that.

518

We all wanna live in a a healthier

space, a healthier world.

519

It starts with curiosity.

520

So who else can I recruit to, to go

into the spaces that I'm not meant

521

to go into because they have a life

experience or a particular demographic

522

that would share that message.

523

Uh.

524

Better, quite frankly.

525

Uh, we may have the same, a similar

message, but I'm, I, I'm just not, we

526

are not meant to be in all spaces and

we need to create that space for other

527

people to just go and thrive in as well.

528

And so, um, so that's where the teaching

really came into effect and supporting

529

my sound healing practitioners to

serve the communities that they're

530

really passionate about serving.

531

It's amazing that you say that it's

exactly why we're the wild ones

532

and why we do what we do, and it's

so important that in this space of

533

spirituality and getting to know

who we are, that we see all the many

534

faces that humans are and all of their

uniqueness and wildness and you know.

535

All the pieces.

536

I want people to see themselves in the

people that we bring on, and they're

537

not always gonna look the same, and

they're not always gonna speak the same.

538

It's definitely one of the things

that I love about the Wild One Space,

539

is that there's so many different

eclectic, amazing, incredible human

540

beings that people can connect with.

541

And maybe they're not super connected

with the human design one, but

542

maybe it's this one over here

that's like, Ooh, that's my person.

543

That's my people.

544

Mm-hmm.

545

Yeah.

546

It's just so important.

547

Absolutely.

548

And like how someone from, you know, human

design can apply sound healing into their

549

practice and, and share that with their

community to have these deeper expansive

550

experiences and so on and so on and so on.

551

You know, I'm not meant to be, to

have all of the certifications, but.

552

Uh, you know, if you're a human design

or if you're a Reiki practitioner or

553

yoga practitioner, or massage therapist

or crystal therapist, you know, these

554

things marry so well together that

you're gonna bring that out and,

555

and really touch the lives of other

people who are also interested in.

556

Those other things and I, I just think

it's so incredible that we can empower

557

people to go out into the world and do

more and more good and, and cultivate more

558

curiosity than ourselves and community.

559

So how do you start a

sound healing school?

560

How do you start that?

561

I'm just like, how does that happen?

562

Like, it sounds amazing.

563

That sounds like a huge

undertaking, you know?

564

Oh gosh, yes.

565

Um, you know, I, I realized like in

the education that I got, that it,

566

it served the purpose for who I was

and where I was at that time, but

567

it was very much an esoteric school.

568

Mm-hmm.

569

And so there were just things that I.

570

That I knew that were important for

the conversation of sound healing.

571

Um, it, it needed more, it, it

needed to be a lot more grounded.

572

So in my goals of supporting

sound healing, becoming more

573

and more accessible, we need

to meet people where they are.

574

And so if I'm wanting to go

into hospitals, if I'm wanting

575

to go into therapy centers.

576

Like I have been, I have to bring the

science of sound into that conversation

577

and ground the information so that people

in those spaces understand the value of

578

what it is that I'm bringing to the table.

579

And if it's in these certain spaces, how

do you make the information accessible?

580

And it's gonna be, you know, for

me it was about what's the science

581

and the research behind it, and so.

582

With the certification

program when I built it.

583

That's the foundation is, you know, we're

bridging science and spirit together.

584

They both lead to live in this space.

585

They both need to, they, they're

both having a conversation over

586

and over and a lot of times the,

the spiritual conversation, when we

587

have the science that kind of backs

these kind of esoteric experiences

588

that we're having, we have this.

589

Confidence to move forward in the

work that we're doing and sound in

590

a way that you wouldn't if, if you

didn't have that portion of it.

591

So really that became the basis.

592

It's also the different with my program

too, I wanted to differentiate between a

593

performer and a facilitator because while

also, again, like performances can have.

594

A spiritual healing experience

through a performance.

595

But when we're actually a

practitioner of sound healing,

596

we're a facilitator of the sound.

597

We're watching what is happening

with our participants and

598

we're adjusting accordingly.

599

Um, just because I wanna play the gong.

600

I'm pointing to the back 'cause

my gong is usually in the back.

601

Uh, but if I wanna play the gong,

you know, I can't just play the gong

602

because I want to play the gong.

603

Mm-hmm.

604

It's because I am taking inventory

of what's happening in the room.

605

And so those are also things that I'm

teaching my practitioners over, over

606

this four and a half month program.

607

Wow.

608

Well, the Shift net network called you

a pioneer in sound healing industry.

609

Incredible.

610

Makes, that was just wild.

611

What ways do you see

yourself as a pioneer?

612

You know, I, that's, that's

an interesting question.

613

Um, you don't really know that you

are doing something that different.

614

Until somebody else

starts to point it out.

615

In my journey and in how I think about

things and the evolution of my business,

616

the evolution of sound embrace really has

come from the evolution of my own self.

617

And so as my business changes and evolves,

it's because I've changed and evolved.

618

Both are feeding our feedback

loop of, of that change.

619

It's also a feedback loop of.

620

Of this ecosystem that helps me to

feel like I'm actually serving to that.

621

I actually feel like I'm doing

something that is affecting

622

people's lives in a positive way.

623

When I think of pioneers,

you know, I think of Jonathan

624

Goldman, I think of John Bule.

625

You know, I think of, um.

626

You know, the, these other sound healing

practitioners who were in the sixties

627

and seventies and building the, really

this foundation that I'm getting to

628

launch from, uh, what is that quote?

629

Standing on the shoulders of the

giants, you know, so, you know, some

630

of these teachings, like in this

certification program, I am pulling from.

631

The pioneers of my industry.

632

Um, I am pulling from scientific

researchers so that I can connect

633

what these pioneers are saying

with the science of sound.

634

Finally, we can like.

635

Marry these things together, I feel

like I'm doing something right.

636

Um, and you know, I think what I'm

hearing too is it's finding your own

637

alignment and finding your own voice.

638

Finding your own, yeah.

639

Like peace.

640

That's really important for you.

641

And how do you wanna

express it in the world?

642

How do you wanna share it in the world?

643

And that's a big part of being a pioneer,

because otherwise then you are just.

644

You know, doing kind of regurgitating

from other people, but you've really

645

created, you've really put all these

resources together, created something

646

entirely new, and put yourself and your

heart into something just wildly amazing.

647

That is one difference that you mentioned

is like, I just, I'm not doing this

648

because I'm trying to pioneer anything.

649

I'm not doing this because I think it's

gonna be some gigantic money maker.

650

Right.

651

I, I'm doing this because it's literally.

652

Getting the other Danielle Halls out there

and supporting them and becoming more

653

curious and that feels fulfilling to me.

654

Yes, I'm getting paid.

655

Yes.

656

You know, I'm having these really

amazing experiences and, you know,

657

life is, life is unfolding in such a

beautiful way, but it's, it is because

658

I'm in alignment with my why of why

I'm doing this work in the first place.

659

And it's not because of money.

660

Money is the byproduct

of being in alignment.

661

Yeah, absolutely.

662

It is.

663

What do you think is most understood?

664

What are the misconceptions

that you often hear?

665

Whew, uh, some misconceptions, um, that,

that spirituality and sound healing.

666

They're, they're not

mutually excu exclusive.

667

People think that sound

healing has to be spiritual.

668

Um, and so I find, you know,

in conversation that like.

669

Someone may not come to a sound up

because it may rub against their

670

religious beliefs or spiritual beliefs.

671

And, you know, depending on the offering

of the Sound Bath session, like one of

672

'em that I do is called Relax and Sound.

673

And it, it is not

spiritual in nature at all.

674

It is literally to induce the relaxation

response within the body and this

675

experience to boost your immune

system in a strategic way, right?

676

So.

677

Read the descriptions that I would say

to my new patrons of sound healing.

678

And it also doesn't have to be meditation.

679

It can be a part of someone's

meditation practice.

680

Uh, but it sound healing does not have

to be the last one that I'll say my top

681

three is, you know, I think I struggle

with my field's name, sound, healing

682

in my view of how I set up my practice.

683

I, as the facilitator am not your

healer, but I am facilitating the

684

environment for your body to go

into its own natural healing state.

685

And I think there's a, there's,

you know, some misconceptions here.

686

Like I am my own healer.

687

But I am not your healer.

688

You are your own healer.

689

But I can help you along the way

to find the tools that will be able

690

to support your body in getting

to that level of healing that

691

you desire with sound healing.

692

It is really just a, an environment.

693

We are recreating the sound

environment for your body.

694

Uh, so that it has, it can

have specific outcomes.

695

I know that there's a lot of

different types of sound healing too.

696

Like one that I use a lot is music.

697

I put on a Kundalini yoga playlist

or a beautiful playlist with

698

incredible positives, sounds

and beats and things like that.

699

And I love.

700

Creating playlist for my community.

701

They, every time we, we do a

breath work session or Kal,

702

they're like, what was that music?

703

Yeah.

704

Yeah.

705

And it's incredible.

706

So I know that's another way I,

I definitely use that as far as

707

like, uh, when I'm cleaning the

house, I always have these, this

708

sound current running through me.

709

I'm curious how you use

sound in your daily life.

710

I actually.

711

I actually prefer silence.

712

Um, there, there are times that I

will, if I need a little extra put

713

when I'm, you know, working out, you

know, I use sound to help me to, um,

714

get pumped, wake up, do the thing.

715

But really in my day to day,

I prefer no sound at all.

716

I prefer no music.

717

I really like to be in the

space in between the sounds.

718

That's where I find my, my, uh.

719

Uh, I don't wanna say relaxation,

but like focus and the clarity for me

720

really comes from being in silence.

721

That's when I could really hear my

body, where I can really hear my

722

thoughts, feel the feelings that

are wanting to come up and through.

723

Um, I would say if I'm not trying

to feel things, then maybe, yeah,

724

I could like, you know, default

to, you know, some, some kind of

725

something or if I need to coax out.

726

Something I might like actually just go

listen to a drum beat that's very rhythmic

727

or i'll, you know, play a drum for myself.

728

How often do you suggest

people do sound healing?

729

Like with the bowls, with the

gongs, with the drums, with.

730

Uh, well, if you are going to a

sound bath, um, you know, I, I

731

really recommend if it's your first

time going first, go see how your

732

body acts or reacts the next day.

733

Sometimes people can have immense

detox symptoms, um, not to scare

734

you away, but it's really an

indicator of you might be dehydrated.

735

You might be, you might be sleep

deprived and while sound healing can

736

help with your sleep deprivation over

a course of time, it can help you with

737

your mental focus and things like that.

738

We just kind of wanna keep an

eye on if you have anything that

739

comes up for you the next day.

740

Um, monthly is fantastic,

depending on your health goals.

741

It might be something that could

be weekly, um, sometimes twice.

742

A week, depending, really depending

on what your, your goals are.

743

When I had a one-on-one practice, I did

have somebody that I, that came in once

744

a week because it was very specific

for pain management and retraining

745

the nervous system on how he was

working with pain and moving that, but.

746

It really depends on what is your goal?

747

What, what outcome do you want?

748

If you're doing it for yourself,

um, you know, one crystal

749

bowl, one Himalayan bowl.

750

Really helpful if you have your

own stillness practice or, you

751

know, some people like to call it a

meditation practice, and even just

752

doing that for five minutes a day

could be really, really helpful.

753

Do you have a morning practice

that you can't live without?

754

My morning practice?

755

So.

756

My more, I, you know, typically

I don't take, I have the luxury

757

now, um, that I don't have to take

758

AM uh, most days, uh, most weeks.

759

So, um, I, you know, I'll get up.

760

First thing I'll do is I'll get

my protein shake together and

761

I'll do a workout after that.

762

I'll, you know.

763

Shower, make some coffee.

764

And then with my coffee,

I've incorporated, excuse me,

765

my own stillness practice.

766

Sometimes that looks like I'm just

sitting out on my back porch watching

767

the birds and listening to the birds.

768

Sometimes it's playing a crystal

bowl, sometimes it's playing a drum,

769

but it's always with my coffee.

770

Um, I love coffee.

771

If you're like following me

on Instagram, there's always a

772

picture of my coffee on my story.

773

So.

774

That's awesome.

775

Yeah, and even if I have to, you know, get

up early, like those things always happen.

776

I don't, it's a prerequisite

before I get my day started.

777

I have to work out.

778

I have to sit with my coffee

and with some kind of thing,

779

and then I get ready for my day.

780

Mm-hmm.

781

Simple.

782

Simple is key.

783

Mm-hmm.

784

All right.

785

Danielle, this has been amazing.

786

You are incredible.

787

I'm so, I, I like how

whoever introduced us.

788

Thank you so much.

789

Thank you.

790

Thank you.

791

Whoever this person is.

792

Thank you.

793

Thank you.

794

Is there anything else you

wanna say about, like, do you

795

have a training coming up?

796

How often do you train trainings

or anything you wanna share about

797

what you have going on right now?

798

I.

799

Oh, thank you.

800

Um, you know, one thing I'm really

excited about is I have opened

801

up my membership to be free.

802

So now anyone could come in

and you have access to free.

803

Two minute, 10 minute, 30 minute,

and eight hour sleep tracks

804

that are professionally recorded

and then there are monthly.

805

Prompts with weekly

self-inquiry questions.

806

So if you like a sound healing track,

you just pull that sound healing

807

track, answer those questions.

808

And it's just something that again,

like brings us back to that curiosity of

809

self, what's working, what's not working.

810

So that, uh, is my gift to the

community that I, I would love to

811

connect, connect with more people on.

812

And then, yes, I offer the

certification program twice a year.

813

Registration is open.

814

Right now for the next cohort, and

I'm trying something new that if

815

I have four people sign up, then

we'll get you started right away.

816

We just get started and it's

something that I'm, I'm testing out.

817

So if you wanna be a part

of this test, let's do it.

818

Just join in once.

819

I have four, we'll just start.

820

Otherwise, that cohort begins

in, officially begins in August.

821

Uh, that's amazing.

822

And I have payment plans on then.

823

Yeah.

824

Like we can, we can like, get you

through before the end of this year.

825

You know, I'm so happy to hop on a

complimentary consultation call with

826

anybody who has any questions on that.

827

Beautiful.

828

We'll have all those links below.

829

That's so incredible.

830

Thank you, Danielle, and thank you

for being with me today and sharing

831

your heart and going deep down and

sharing your sound healing story.

832

Thank you.

833

Thank you.

834

We all start somewhere.

835

You know?

836

We all start somewhere and we have

to just beat ourselves where we're

837

at and then build from there.

838

I did not build this sound

healing business and career.

839

That I love through.

840

There are some struggles along, there's

a lot of struggles along the way.

841

Y'all don't let anybody tell you not, but

life is beautiful when you align and align

842

again and align again into your truth.

843

That's a good way to end.

844

Thank you so much.

845

Thank you, Danielle.
