Sound as a Path to Healing with Jeralyn Glass

A familiar song can return you to a moment you thought you had forgotten. For Jeralyn Glass, music also became a way to stay connected to life through grief.

Jeralyn joins Jay and Gary to discuss a career that took her from Broadway to opera and later into crystal sound meditation. She shares how the death of her son changed her relationship with sound and describes the place singing bowls have held in her own grieving process.

From humming to the soundtrack of a memory, they explore how people experience music in their bodies and emotions. Jeralyn discusses her book Sacred Vibrations, her approach to sound meditation, and her interest in using technology to make listening practices more accessible.
