Song Toolkit

How is a song a tool?
A song is an object, not held in your hand but held in the body-mind, used to carry out a particular function.

Below is music to ground you in your body, refine your conduct, and bring you into right relationship with people and land, through honoring your complex, human experience.
We will change for the better when we are spoken to.

What’s challenging you?

Click on I am to be guided to a song.

  • I am supposed to be peaceful, happy, and enlightened already.

  • I am a woman struggling to befriend and stay in close connection with other women.

  • I am not wanting to take responsibility for myself. I’d rather blame others.

  • I am repeatedly helping people that don’t change and I’m fucking angry.

  • I am often wondering if I’m real. Is this my voice? Is this my body?

  • I am over this job. It doesn’t pay me enough. I just want something safe and stable!

  • I am stuck in the past. I hunger for things that aren’t good for me.

  • I am curious about things that other people don’t seem to be curious about. I feel weird. Can I really let myself explore that?

  • I am grieving and I need some help crying.

  • I am heartbroken. My loved one has passed.

  • I am wondering how I’ve become such a volatile beast.

  • I am tired of relying on an external authority. I’m ready to lead myself from within.

  • I am ready to speak from a more authentic place. But I’m scared.

  • I am aching to visit the darkside of my soul. I know I’m not just a “good” person.

  • I am a sad man who spends a lot of time on a computer.

  • I am happy and sad. How could I be celebrating and grieving at the same time?

  • I am confused and angered by “forgiveness.” I grew up Christian and feel like I have to forgive even when I’m not ready.
