Law of Attraction Gateway

Experience Radio for the NOW Age

Law of Attraction teachers Beth & Lee McCain have done it again! Experience Radio is their latest venture, bringing their LOA lessons and positive music to the airwaves.

Beth & Lee are certainly doing their part to make Law of Attraction household words. Whether you watched The Secret or consider yourself a student of Abraham-Hicks, Beth & Lee make the Law of Attraction easy to undertand and apply in your own life.

Personally, I'm delighted with their new radio station because they are featuring music to support the journey...and some of it is mine. Of course, there are other great songwriters and artists on the station too. I'm in great company!

Even more important, though, is the great information and support that Beth & Lee provide. Their cheerful banter and good advice are sure to make the LOA journey easier and a whole lot more fun!

The Spiritual Significance of Music

  The visual on the left is made up of thousands of photographs of musicians who dedicate themselves and their music to uplifting humanity and changing the world a song at a time. (If you look really, really closely with a very powerful magnifying glass, you might find my picture...) Law of Attraction brought these musician together through Justin St. Vincent, a musician from New Zealand, who has dedicated himself to bringing the music and the intention forward into the world.

Justin's website, Music and Spirituality.com, features hundreds of musicians answering the same question: What is music’s spiritual significance? I'll share my answer below, but be sure to check out other responses here too.

Here's my piece of the puzzle: 

Music is the first language of the earth – the sound of the wind in the trees, the melody of birdsongs, a bubbling stream, the rhythm of the rain – and it touches an ancient and eternal place within us, beyond the logic of the mind. We are all hard-wired to respond to music, beginning with nine months of listening to the “drumbeat” of our mother’s hearts and the sound of her breathing. Music enables us to express all kinds of feelings and fears, passions and pain, even when words cannot. It reduces stress, elevates moods, helps us move through grief and fear, and enables us to express joy, peace, and love. Music can literally change the way we feel – emotionally, mentally, physiologically, and spiritually. Whenever I wonder where music comes from, I remember that all of creation arose from sound. Music is the Creator’s voice. It is always there, in the background, whispering to us, singing to us throughout our lives, and beckoning us to soar to unimaginable heights on the wings of a song.

Exciting news from the home front!

Global Love Day

I received an invitation today to participate in a cause I can get behind! It's called Global Love Day. According to the organizers, "It is our vision to unite one and all in a celebration of love and compassion. We honor each May 1st as a symbolic day of unconditional love and call upon all people and all nations to gather together in the wisdom of peace and love.

"Global Love Day is the universal recognition of our innate oneness through love.  When we come from this limitless love we naturally and easily embrace ourselves and our fellow humanity.  Opening our heart, we allow unconditional love to be our guide and compassion to be our gift to life.

"We invite you to celebrate with us by consciously focusing on love and what it means to you throughout this day.  We hope that by practicing love in all areas of your life, you will find it easy to love unconditionally all year long. Our main theme explains it best..."love begins with me."

The LOVE FOUNDATION asked me to submit a few of my songs about "love" for free downloads on May 1st. "Love is Light" is from REACH UP, my newest album. "Love" is from my first album, TRANSITIONS.  And "What Color Is Spirit" can be heard on MUSIC IN MY SOUL. So here are the links for the free downloads! Enjoy them anytime...even after "love day" is over!

And remember...love is the glue that holds everything together.

First Susan Boyle...Then Christopher Dolan!

By now, EVERYONE knows the wonderful, heart-opening story of Susan Boyle, the unknown singer who rocked Britain's Got Talent. Millions of people all over the world had the same reaction - melting into tears of joy! If you missed it (where have you been?), take a look here: Susan Boyle on YouTube

To me, Susan represents Law of Attraction at its finest! She states clearly in the video that "I've always wanted to perform in front of a large audience" and "I'm going to make that audience rock!" No resistance, no doubt, no fear...pure positive energy focused on her dream.

I am endlessly delighted by her success and rocket launch to fame! I received the clip from no fewer that 15 people of all ages, professions and locations. And I scour the internet for more Susan News. There's a wonderful video response from a Pakistani man who admits he doesn't understand what she's singing about, but cries just the same. World peace cannot be far behind! Susan Boyle You Make Me Cry

I read another story in today's NY Times that might not get the same media attention, but it's worth sharing. Christopher Dolan is a New York City bus driver who sings opera when his bus is empty...and sometimes, even when it's full! His story is here (or should I say "hear!")

The Ultimate in Law of Attraction Music

Talk about ingenious, Pandora  has taken the idea of Law of Attraction music to a whole new level with  the Music Genome Project.  By categorizing the music of hundreds of thousands of recording artists, they've made it possible to listen to your favorite music AND discover new indie artists that might be flying under the radar. Like me.

So let's say you like Bruce Springsteen (and who doesn't!) You can create a radio station called (can you guess?) Bruce Springsteen. The Music Genome Project has determined that Bruce's music is filled with electric rock instrumentation, acoustic rhythm piano, extensive vamping, major key tonality, a dynamic male vocalist, a prominent saxophone part, prominent organ and heartbreaking lyrics. Wow. That's a pretty accurate description!

Pandora lines up other artists with similar qualities. In Bruce's case, you'll likely hear some U2, Tom Petty, Coldplay and other great bands. Not sure you want a steady diet of Bruce and his friends? You can name a genre of music and get a mix of artists within a particular style - Celtic, Classical, Chant, etc. - and like magic, you'll listen to a creative assortment within the genre. And it's all free (with a very limited number of ads) or for a modest subscription fee, you can listen ad-free.

Why am I telling you all of this? Oh yes...it's true.. it's now possible to create a station called Sandi Kimmel Radio  featuring music from my three albums plus songs from a wide variety of artists that Pandora decided were a good match for my fans. I'm in great company! In fact, it's really fun to listen to the station because I find myself liking the music of all the other artists they've chosen to be on my station. I'm loving Cosy Sheridan, Jack Johnson, Kate Wolf and the rest of the artists I'm hearing.

The best part is that the Music Genome Project actually categorized my music...which I've been trying to do for YEARS! "New Age aesthetics, folk roots, gospel influences, mild rhythmic syncopation and acoustic sonority." Yup. That's me!

There's a lot more I could tell you about Pandora but you'll have a lot more fun discovering on your own. Start here and you'll make me (and you) very, very happy...http://broadcaster.pandora.com/t?r=927&c=0&l=37961&ctl=16AF1E2:DB62FCF441304730A9E01315B97113C3&

Lisa Jane Lipkin's Winter Concert

Corrected version: My very talented friend, Lisa Jane Lipkin, is a singer-songwriter and bright light on stage and off. If you happen to live in the New York area, I suggest you make your way to Pomona, NY (about 50 minutes from NYC), for her wonderful Winter Concert on Saturday, February 28. (I know it's short notice...but if there's any way to clear your calendar, I say "do it!") Lisa will be accompanied by the musically imaginative and amazing John Guth on guitars, the steady and excellent support of Bill Ruyle (percussion/dulcimer) and the wonderful harmonies and energy of With Spirit Sing! (members Laurie Brown, Rachel Seliber, Christine Pepe).

Need more convincing? Lisa's voice is the one weaving magical harmonies, and John was the co-producer, recording engineer and entire band on all three of my albums! This great concert will take place on Saturday, February 28 at the Pomona Cultural Center, 584 Route 306 Pomona, 7:30pm - 9:30pm. Wish I could be there...

And if you absolutely can't make the concert, be sure to listen to Lisa on her two albums, Prayer for Peace and Raise the Honey. 

Positive Music Positively Makes A Difference

The folks who have been reading this blog for the past few years already know I'm passionately devoted to promoting the positive power of music - to help us "stay tuned" and balanced in our lives. So it gives me great pleasure to list the internet radio stations now playing music from my 3 albums - Transitions, Music In My Soul and Reach Up. I'm oh-so-happy to sing to you!

Stations include:  One Vibration Radio     QuantumQuest - SeeQ Radio    Mind Mastery Radio   Positive Music Association Radio

A Valentine for the Universe

As Valentine's Day approaches, there's a great way to use your sweet heart energy for peace. Jonathan Goldman, Sound Healer & Visionary, invites "sound healers, meditators, peace activists and lovers of all humanity and sentient consciousness send a Sonic Valentine to the Earth with the heart sound "AH" filled with the intention of Peace and Love!" And you don't even need a first-class stamp to do it!

This is the 7th Annual "AH" for Planetary Peace. Join Andi and Jonathan Goldman and friends on this very special day as they project a sonic Valentine to the Earth Mother, toning for planetary peace and harmony. In addition to this event, there will be soundings occuring throughout the planet at noon in local time. Thousands of other people (brought together by Law of Attraction, of course!) will chant the heart sound "AH" at 12 noon EST for five minutes, wherever you are.

Not sure what "AH" should sound like?  Visit Healing Sounds  website for an "AH" sound sample!  Feel self-conscious toning alone? Visit the Temple of Sacred Sound to be in good vibrational company.

This loving vibration to Mother Earth might just be the most satisfying Valentine all day. Besides...you might actually even burn a few calories instead of pack them on with chocolate!

Happy Valentine's Day to ahhhhh-l.

"New Song" YouTube Vision

Patrick and I just created a YouTube music video of "New Song," from my new album, REACH UP. It speaks directly to this exciting time in our nation's history. (Think of it as a musical Public Service Announcement.)  Watch it and feel the shift.

We're Imagining the impact of  "New Song" making its way to 20 million people around the world by January 20! Play it forward, pass it on, share the energy.
