Episode notes

What if the path through grief isn't silence, but sound? Discover how music and crystal singing bowls can help us heal and reconnect with ourselves in the wake of profound loss.

In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric speaks with Jeralyn Glass, internationally renowned sound healing pioneer, founder of Crystal Cadence, and author of Sacred Vibrations. After the tragic loss of her 19-year-old son, Jeralyn transitioned from a celebrated opera career to the transformative world of sound healing. In this deeply moving conversation, Eric and Jeralyn explore the power of music to help us process grief, regulate our nervous system, and connect with the unseen—sharing practical tools, personal stories, and spiritual insights that resonate far beyond the conversation. They also touch on how sound may serve as a bridge between science and spirit, and how universal truths are encoded in musical harmony.

Key Takeaways:

→ Sound, especially crystal singing bowls, can help process and express grief in ways talk therapy sometimes cannot.

→ Vibrational frequencies of music create structure and safety that allow deeper emotional exploration.

→ Music connects us to our loved ones, even after their passing, and can serve as a bridge between the seen and unseen.

→ Simple practices like humming can calm the nervous system and help us “tune” ourselves.

→ Grief is not something we "get over" but something we learn to move with, transforming us in the process.
