May 28, 2007 Marijke and Sandee had both mentioned that I should meet Karen Clift. She is a well known classical singer who has performed with famous symphony orchestras all over the US.

I rang Karen this morning and she asked if I wanted to come over that morning and if I would like some waffles for breakfast? When I arrived, a beautiful woman welcomed me into her home, prepared a fabulous waffle with fresh strawberries, blue berries, pecan nuts and maple syrup. What a treat! We immediately connected and it was fascinating to me to hear the story of her career.After I told her about my work, she felt that I needed to meet her friend Anne, who is very intuitive and has horses. As soon as she talked to Anne about me, Anne knew that she needed to meet me so we decided we would visit her after we had gone for a hike in

Tongue River

Canyon. 

  

What an amazing place that is. You are surrounded by high cliffs, a river that is streaming wildly and beautiful vegetation. There are certain places where the rocks echo the sound of the river and it sounds like if you are sitting underneath a waterfall.It was so wonderful to spend time with another singer and to hear her stories. I recognize a lot of myself in Karen. This might also have to do with the fact that we are both Scorpios. In one of our conversations, I mention that the voice is the sound of our soul. This is the only way through which we can communicate and express the essence of who we are with the vibration of sound. You know how you sometimes say something and you wonder where it came from. As soon as I had said this I felt like that. This was information that was important for me to know. Through our voice we can express how we feel, what we like or don’t like, who we are. Our voice is very important for us. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to let another know what we need if you can’t speak?   It has also been proven that the words that we use do have a great impact on our well being. Maybe you have seen the movie What the bleep do we know?Dr. Masaru Emoto is featured in this movie. He has done a study with water and sound. He took two glasses of water, placed them in a separate room and played Mozart in one room and heavy metal in the other room. The then froze the water, took a crystal, placed it under a microscope and took a picture of the crystal. The crystal that had been exposed to Mozart music was perfect in shape and bright in color. The crystal that had been exposed to Heavy Metal music was shattered and yellow/brown in color. He also did an experiment where he placed a sticker with the word Love on a glass and one with the word Hate on another glass. The crystal of the water with love was beautiful and bright, the one with Hate was totally deformed and a yucky yellow/brown color. As our bodies are composed of over 70% of water, it is natural to expect that the music and words have a great effect on our well being. Knowing this, I am more careful which words I choose and what kind of music I listen to. After our wonderful hike, Karen and I went to Anne and had a wonderful dinner there. Anne lives on a beautiful ranch with 65 acres in Bighorn. Her place is very peaceful and I like the energy of it. She mentioned that her friend Michael, who is very intuitive, had said that the

Bighorn Mountains are very Yin energy. I totally agree with this. Sedona is very masculine, very Yang. More and more I feel drawn to Yin energy so no wonder I feel so at home here and I have no desire to leave yet. Anne is also very intuitive and she is a healer. She teaches Yoga as well. When I came to

Wyoming, I had expected to meet a lot of very conservative people but this has not been the case at all. I am meeting very open and conscious people and it is wonderful to spend time with them. I have experienced that the people are extremely friendly in this area. It is easy to make new friends and I feel totally welcomed in this community although I have only been here for a week.
