This episode dives into one of our society's biggest problems, overstimulation, and how Sound Baths can unintentionally do harm without proper, trauma-informed training. Our clients are arriving to sessions already overloaded with sensory input, notifications, alerts, screens, traffic, stress, and chronic demands. Loud or chaotic Sound Baths can trigger an already overstimulated nervous system. In this episode, Niajae breaks down what overstimulation is, why it matters, and how certain bowl-playing techniques can unintentionally trigger anxiety, dysregulation, or even PTSD when we're not trauma-informed. She shares research, real BioWell data from Bliss Wellness Studio, and practical steps for creating safe, regulating Sound Baths in today's world. This episode is essential for any sound healer, practitioner, or wellness professional who wants to bring integrity, nervous system literacy, and trauma-informed care to their work. Key Takeaways Society is overstimulated, and Sound Baths must adapt. Playing too loud or high pitches can unintentionally harm or activate clients. Trauma-informed training is not optional; it's the industry standard. BioWell data shows most people's energy is operating in overdrive. Softness, pacing, and intentional technique create the safest healing space.

You've probably heard of a dark night of the soul, but what about an ego death? In this episode, Niajae breaks down what an ego death is, those humbling, uncomfortable moments that strip away who we think we are, so we can discover who we really are. As energy intensifies and life moves faster, these transformative moments are happening more frequently. Niajae shares a powerful three-layer framework that helps you understand ego deaths through the lens of: Societal programming – shedding external expectations. Generational programming – breaking family cycles and inherited patterns. Soul programming – facing your deepest shadows and embodying your truth. This episode explores the pain and beauty of ego deaths, how to alchemize shame into self-acceptance, and why every layer you peel back brings you closer to your authentic self. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ What an ego death is (and how it differs from a dark night of the soul) ✨ Why these experiences are happening faster in our modern world ✨ How to identify which layer of programming your last ego death came from ✨ The relationship between shame, shadow work, and embodiment ✨ How to lean in instead of running from your discomfort Key Quote: 'Rapid growth often feels like chaos before clarity. The ego death invites us to meet our shame instead of hiding from it.' ~Niajae Follow Us on Instagram @SoundTherapyNetwork https://www.instagram.com/soundtherapynetwork @Niajae https://www.instagram.com/niajae Practitioners interested in our mentorship go to https://soundtherapynetwork.com Download the Healthy Love Healing App https://healthylovehealing.com

Alchemizing Trauma with Tracy, Creator of Trauma Rock Stars In this deeply moving episode of the Sound Therapy Network Podcast, I sit down with Tracy, the inspiring creator of Trauma Rock Stars. Tracy shares her courageous and vulnerable story of being the sole survivor of a devastating car crash where she lost two cousins and sustained severe burns on the majority of her body. Not long after, she endured the pain of being drugged and assaulted at a high school party. For years, Tracy suppressed these traumatic experiences, until meditation, journaling, and inner child healing opened the door to processing her pain. Her healing journey eventually led her to explore MDMA-assisted therapy with a clinical therapist, which became a powerful tool in her transformation. Today, Tracy has alchemized her experiences into a movement, Trauma Rock Stars, a safe space where people can share their suppressed stories, find community, and reclaim their voices. Tune in to hear Tracy's story of resilience, healing, and turning unimaginable pain into purpose.
