10/26/2022 5 Comments 74. Equinox Blessing (Shadows & Light)
Notes: This is song is a taste of Heather Houston's creative, connecting powers -- Episode #75 will feature an intimate conversation with Heather. After she shares another of her songs, we'll delve into why song matters, why voices matter... and a really good soup! Meanwhile, I love this song for noticing the balance of shadow and light -- to me, it's a beautiful song to sing on cusps, like dawn or dusk. Recently, as I've been healing from tick-borne illness, I've hummed it to myself as I watch the shadows and light cross my bedroom wall, encouraging my body to find its way into balance.
Songwriter Info: Heather Houston is passionate about uplifting hearts, freeing voices, transforming lives, and building strong, loving communities through the power of singing. She spreads her magic through her 20+years of international song circle leading, private vocal coaching, and her online offerings - The Art of Mindful Singing, S.H.E. Sings, Singing as Sanctuary, and Sisters in Harmony Song and Chant Leader Training. You can now join her every Monday night on Zoom for a 2-hour Sisters in Harmony Global community song circle with guest artists! Heather recently released her second solo album, Sisters of the Moon, which features the ethereal voices of her 40-voice women’s choir Yala Lati.

Patricia Norton's episode "74. Equinox Blessing (Shadows & Light)" from A Breath of Song offers a deeply reflective and soul-nourishing experience. By featuring Heather Houston's evocative song, Norton beautifully captures the essence of balance between light and shadow, making it a perfect companion for moments of transition, such as dawn or dusk. Norton's personal connection to the song, especially during her healing journey, adds an authentic and heartfelt layer to the episode. This installment exemplifies the podcast's mission to use song as a tool for wellness, connection, and introspection.
