Dolphins & Angels

My name is Steve, and this is my first time blogging. I love composing music and want to tell you a little bit about myself and how I got started.

At age 16, I was in my school auditorium watching a Guess Who music video. I was mesmerised watching Burton Cummings play the piano. I told my buddy sitting next to me “I am going to learn to play the piano and I will be playing on that stage in a year.” The following year, I was on stage, playing boogie for a vaudeville program. That was my start in music, and my passion for creating and playing piano continues to this day, 33 years later.

For the last 12 years I have worked as a massage therapist. I would use my own musical creations during massage sessions. Clients would ask if they could purchase the music and I always said that someday I would make it to sell.

That day has finally arrived. I retired from my massage practise, moved with my sweet Sharon to a rural setting in the country close to the mountains that we love, and spend my days creating music.

Sharon and I have daily talks about how we can put our talents to work to offer something of value that could help others. During this time, we had begun our Aura Soma journey. From the first moment I smelled the El Morya Quintessence, I was drawn to Aura Soma. The use of the Equilibrium bottles, Quintessences and Pomanders have had a profound affect on us.

I was putting the finishing touches on a piece of music that I loved, when it became crystal clear to me that my music is the “something of value” that I have to offer. The intent was (and is) simple - beautiful music that could possibly help the listener slow down, breathe, and gain a sense of peace.

I gave the finished music to Sharon to “test drive” during her Healing Touch sessions. The feedback from her clients brought joy to my heart. Once again, clients were asking where they could buy this music. This finished music became the Crystal Clear CD.

I have now had feedback on Crystal Clear from many people, including energy workers, massage therapists, a meditation instructor, an artist who uses it when she is teaching her painting classes, a woman who is using it to become more mindful while eating, and another who uses it for her children when she puts them to bed at night. The main theme of their sweet comments is that the music seems to quickly facilitate a sense of inner peace and centeredness. To quote a friend of mine, “It is like a bed of angel wings I can just lie down in. I listen to it at night during my time of reflection, and each time, the gentle flowing melodies take me deeper - like the music is a comforter I can wrap myself in.”

Twilight Ceremony is the second CD that I am very proud to be releasing. It takes on a different flavor, a flavor that is perfect for many different occasions. The feedback I have received is from people who have used it during a wedding reception, dinner parties, an art class, as well as massage therapists who have used it for clients. The comments have really touched my heart - hearing that the joy I felt while making it is coming through the music.
