Birth 2012 With a "New Song"

I'm honored and excited that my anthem for these times, "NEW SONG," is the subject of an essay by Rev. Steve Maynard for the Birth 2012 movement initiated by Barbara Marx Hubbard. The song is a soothing and energizing musical rallying cry written with love, hope and faith in the human spirit. It IS time for a new song, we ARE awakening to one heart, we ARE the change that this time is bringing, and it IS the sound of love singing!

Visionary, social pioneer and author, Barbara Marx Hubbard,describes BIrth 2012 as "a growing movement of worldwide citizens who are committed to linking hearts and minds with others and consciously co-creating the next stage of our evolution. There are currently more than 37,000 'global change agents' worldwide who are commited to evolving humanity into the next era."

It is my highest joy to be part of this movement through my music and my heart.

Holiday Cheer

 

Shine Your Light

 

Greetings & Gratitude

Dear Friends,

Oh, how we love this time of year! It gives us an opportunity to express our gratitude for your friendship over the years, and for sharing our MUSIC, our mini-book HEART WIDE OPEN, and our DVD, INVITATION TO SLUMBER, with your friends and family. Our work is all over the world now, and just the thought of that makes us smile.

We’re delighted to announce some BEAUTIFUL NEW PRODUCTS, just in time for the holidays! Patrick has been hard at the work he loves – photographing nature and creating fine art posters and prints, incorporating poetry/lyrics from Sandi’s songs. The result is more than a picture and a sentence – we’re told these prints evoke feelings of peace, joy, harmony, comfort, ease and love, just by looking at them!

POSTERS & PRINTS
There are 24 scenes to choose from – sunsets and woodlands, beaches and flowers, as seen through the magical lens of a true artist – and each poster or print can be tailored to your needs. They are available in a variety of sizes, and you can even get them printed on canvas and/or framed! The posters measure 36" X 23" and are printed on semi-gloss media suitable for framing. They are also available as smaller prints or greeting cards. They are perfect for hallways and lounges in healing centers, healthcare facilities, hospitals and hospices. (Of course, they look great in living rooms, bedrooms and offices too!)
 
You can see the whole collection of Heart-Centered Gifts at our partner company, Zazzle
 
MAGICAL IRELAND
Take a break from holiday preparations and enjoy 11-minutes of heaven in Ireland as you travel with us on a magical adventure through Ireland, tracing Patrick’s roots and discovering new parts of ourselves along the way. Patrick’s new YouTube video features highlights of our trip as seen by his photographer’s eye, with music by our dear friend and fiddler, Bobbi Nikles.

We hope your holiday preparations are fun and easy, and we wish you peace, joy and love this holiday season...and always!
Sandi & Patrick
 

Remembering Jerry Hicks

Thanksgiving had a different quality this year because of the sad news of the death of Jerry Hicks. Esther sent out an honest, heartfelt letter that was full of both Abraham and humanness. And while I know about the eternal nature of us, and our connection to non-physical, it's hard to imagine Esther without Jerry at the front of the room during a workshop...on the road...writing, talking, asking questions...holding the space for so much energy. His warm and easy smile will be missed.

In his honor, I'm reprinting his "Recipe for Joy" with a promise to live it as best I can.

Recipe for Joy ~ Jerry Hicks
“Seek joy first and foremost
Seek reasons to laugh
Seek reasons to offer words of praise to self and others
Seek beauty in nature, beasts and other humans
Seek reasons to love in every segment of every day
Look for something that brings forth within you a feeling of love
Seek that which uplifts you
Seek opportunity to offer that which uplifts another
Seek a feeling of well being
Know that your value can only be measured in terms of joy

Acknowledge your absolute freedom to do any of these things or not do any of these things, for it is without exception your choice in every moment of every day.”

Positive Music Abounds!

Visionary author, Jean Houston, said recently that "music will be the catalyst for global transformation."   Holding the vision for this transformation, positive musicians are spreading the songs of our souls all over the world. Thanks to Scott Johnson, founder of the Positive Music Association,there is a central meeting place for hundreds of musicians . We are posting songs and videos and encouragement on the new Facebook Page and welcome you to sing along.

A sampling of the music can be heard on PMA Radio. Here's Nathen Aswell, and his wonderful song "Little By Little". And then choose love with Shawn Gallaway, and toe-tap your way to raising your vibration. 

About "Empowering Songs 4 Kids"

Part of the thrill of creating a new product is the sweat of publicizing its availability. Fortunately, the internet makes it MUCH easier than the "good old days" before the technology was invented to support it. So using the best technology available, I offer our press release: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/12/prweb4849984.htm

Plus I had a great time yesterday as a radio guest on the LOA Radio Network. Leading Edge Parenting expert, Sandi Schwartz, and I talked for an hour about why music is great for kids...especially my music! To listen to the show: http://www.blubrry.com/player/?p=9948

The music on this album was inspired by all of the wonderful teachers I've encountered on this spiritual journey. I am deeply appreciative for the guidance and encouragement along the way, especially from Esther & Jerry Hicks and Abraham. Closer to home, I'd like to thank Beth & Lee McCain for their consistent, loving support. Well being abounds!

And once you've read the press release and listened to the show...you can order the CD or download it from iTunes here: http://sandikimmel.com/empoweringsongs4kids.html

Empowering Songs 4 Kids

Attention Parents, Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles: At last, by popular demand, I'm excited to announce the release of “It’s About Joy – Empowering Songs 4 Kids!”  Eighteen songs selected from my three albums are guaranteed to uplift, inspire, soothe and support growing healthy, happy children. Universal in nature, the songs express themes of love, spirit, joy and gratitude with positive messages wrapped in sing-out-loud melodies for children of all ages.

And thanks to the technology of our times, you can either order “Empowering Songs 4 Kids” on CD from Sterling Heart (includes special Bonus Track), or download it from iTunes or directly from the website!

The songs on Empowering Songs 4 Kids weave positive messages with age-old wisdom in easy-to-remember songs, using music to connect children with their inner knowing and the ability to reach up and out into their individual greatness. Filled with “musical affirmations” and rooted in music’s powerful effect on both sides of the brain, the songs lay the foundation for growing up feeling secure, optimistic and energized, with a sound understanding of the goodness of the world in which we live.

Either way, it’s a great gift idea for the kid in your family…or your own inner child.

To The Teachers

September all brings about the sighs that mark the end of summer. One yearly ritual involves new beginnings. A lovely short movie,  "The Heart of a Teacher" by Paula J. Fox, celebrates all of the teachers who shine light on the path. Many thanks...
