Help A Sound Healer Bring Harmonic Health to the Underserved

Sound Healing is fast becoming a preferred method for those seeking relaxation, self-discovery, mindfulness, and non-invasive self-care. Testimonies of clients served by traditional practitioners (bowls, chimes, drums) have established the validity of the craft and its curative benefits. This recognition has opened the path to allow more sonic healing, including a resurgence of ancient, sacred frequencies; frequencies which are now proven by neuroscience to have profound therapeutic effects on the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of regular listeners.

I first came across these vibrational tunings, namely the 528Hz Solfeggio frequency, when a friend asked me to put together a music program for a drug and alcohol treatment center she was opening in Nashville, TN. As a lifelong professional musician who is in recovery (6/26/07), I took this request as guidance from my Higher Power (whom I call God) to share with others the gift I've been blessed with.

While researching and outlining how this program would be put together, one intuitively held belief from my youth began resonating within; the knowing that music is medicine. Without hesitation, I invested in getting certified as a sound healer. As I was immersing myself in the craft, concerns arose around acquiring and learning to play the traditional instruments. If only there was a way to bridge the gap between those 'accepted' older forms and the modern amplified versions of the stringed instrument I've dedicated years to mastering; the guitar. Then came this discovery. The answer is in changing the guitar's tuning. Palliative care via the 528Hz phenomenon is no longer a dilemma.

I'm being led and inspired to embark upon an unorthodox entrepreneurial journey. One which fills and renews spirit with purpose. The significance of which can be backed through studies by neuroscientists proving that exposure to 528Hz can reduce and relieve alcoholic withdrawal anxiety symptoms in non-pharmacological ways, as well as repairing the damage to their bodies! Cosmic renewal benefits are not limited to just those in recovery. Research has shown that music containing 528Hz can induce enhanced clarity, calm, openness, revitalization, and DNA repair.

MUSIC IS MEDICINE

Studies show that, "Sound healing uses a neurological approach based on the effects of sound waves on the nervous system. It facilitates and directs specific sounds, and their resulting vibrations, to impact well-being." [Leeds, 2001; Moore, 2010]

MISSION:

To bring this unique form of harmonic alignment to places where it is rarely available and barely affordable. To perform it for those who will be positively impacted, specifically treatment centers, wellness centers, festivals, conferences, and house concerts.

On April 4th we received the diagnosis that our family van would need a new cylinder head at a cost of $4,900. The van already has 94,000 miles on it so we're having to make the trade-in decision. Since Wellness offerings are my primary source of income, this leaves us in a condition of alarming hardship: go back to working 9-5 until I save up enough to get a reliable van, or ask for help.

We are rallying to raise $26,000 to be able to: professionally present my unique vibrational 'Songscapes.'

DONOR SUPPORT ESSENTIAL!!!

By supporting this dream to bring wellness through music, you are really providing much needed wellness to your community. Some of the specific sessions I can offer to help individuals are:

1) Live sound healing session in an underserved persons home -

a WA, OR, CA, or ID traveling healing session can be done for around $500!

For a MT, UT, NV, CO, or NM resident, a session can be done for around $700.

Anywhere east of the Rockies would likely incur roughly $1000 in expenses, but imagine how many life changing Harmonic Heartsong offerings can be made in one excursion!

We are already in the process of finding those places (shelters, recovery centers, etc.) where many can be served in one session.

2) Personal virtual live Zoom or YouTube session and guided meditation will be up and running shortly.

3) First look at travel, wisdom lessons, testimonies, connections, session set lists is available to anyone by visiting my website.

4) Recognition, inclusion, links, and shared blessings will be a daily posting on my YouTube channel once travel begins.

THANK YOU!

No offering is too small for us to gratefully acknowledge your support in bringing us closer to setting out on our mission. We accept and lift up your donation as validation that our cause can bring an atmosphere of love and light through music. We are thankful and honored for your helping us realize our dream of sharing this medicinal music -- the sacred 528Hz frequency through ambient songscapes -- with those who might otherwise not get to hear it due to accessibility, cost, or logistics. Sound Healing transforms lives from the inside out. Your donation encourages, and in countless cases, enables the spiritual growth and mental reset of those this journey will touch.

My wife Jennifer, daughter Lola, her husband Russell, step kids Zoe and Evan, and cats Tiny and Molly are the irreplaceable members of my support team. I am blessed to have them, their input, and their covering of responsibilities while I'm away.

With Integrity,

The Paul Summers Jr. family

TESTIMONIALS:

"Paul's sound healing session at Camp Sober Fest 2024 was a truly transformative experience. Under a blanket of stars by the lake, his rhythmic sound waves transported me to a state of deep relaxation and vivid imagery. It was unlike any meditation or sound healing I'd experienced before - truly freeing. I woke up the next morning feeling incredibly rested and refreshed, almost forgetting where I was! This unforgettable experience has left me wanting more. Thank you, Paul, for sharing your gift of sound and creating such a powerful experience." - Sam H.

"I am deeply grateful for the healing experience Paul offered through his sound healing sessions. Set under the stars, both by the tranquil waters of the Sequoia National Forest and the serene expanse of desert in Joshua Tree, Paul created a sacred space where I and others in recovery could truly reconnect with ourselves. His use of 528Hz frequency was a powerful, transformative tool for healing, preparing us spiritually before the weekend retreat. The gentle vibrations not only helped soothe our minds but also allowed our spirits to find peace. Paul's presence, wisdom, and energy were an integral part of this healing journey. I am thankful for this opportunity and the peace it has brought into my life." - Breezy Nowlan

“I was reminded of how I feel when I go scuba diving; the weightless, floating, carefree feeling. I never thought music could do that. I was brought back to my childhood and how good songs made me feel back then.” – Dr. Patrick

“I thought I was dreaming. But when I became aware of myself, I realized Paul’s music was enabling me to let go. With my eyes closed, I felt like I was floating, supported by soft clouds.” – Rhia (sound healer)

“Paul’s songscapes brought me deep into a trance-state. I was having visions. One I remember clearly was of a past life.” - Andrea

COST (asset) BREAKDOWN:

We have priced the van we want at $55K. The 2025 Ford Transit 250 will give us the reliability and space we need to bring sound healing sessions across the U.S.A. There is no expectation to have this vehicle fully funded by donations. We are doing our part to purchase all these things. We do not, however, have the means to do so without going into debt in ways that will prohibit us from the mission of offering this unique sound healing experience to those who are not able to easily access it. As of this entry, we are negotiating the van price. Current donations are going towards the downpayment. More funds will be needed to build a storage and sleeping area in the van to curb lodging costs

If this mission weighs on your heart, please donate what you can - every dollar goes to this mission.

OTHER NEEDS TO BE COVERED:

Anvil flight cases for the pedalboard and instruments = $970

With integrity,

Paul
