Larson says she has found that a sound session can help with pain, relaxation and anxiety, sleep, energy balance and ‘overall awakening.’” – Relax with a bath … of sound. Its practitioners say it’s like a massage or meditation.

- “Given the complex links between our environment, minds, brains and bodies, it is not surprising that relaxation can be challenging, elusive and at times neglected.

- “Unfortunately, while many Web professionals work hard to make these work-related relationships as strong as possible, they often neglect their non-professional relationships, including those with family and friends and even with themselves and their own health and well-being.” – Fostering Healthy Non-Professional Relationships
- “Recently, my whole neighborhood was hit by a power outage. No phones, computers, hot water, heating, or electricity in my house. I was forced to unplug due to the power outage. Forced to reflect and take stock in an authentic way.” – Why You Have to Relax Sometimes
