Kim's tranquil music is so therapuetic in nature and relaxing that I have ample opportunity to assist my patients into a very deep state of relaxation. This provides me the most effective state to do more productive craniosacral possible.
I found Kim's music and animal stories to be timely, full of deep truth and an experience of the heart.
This week I found myself just wanting to read... In the midst of reading all my new and old books, I found myself especially moved by a book I've been meaning to read.. A book called "Gaia Calling" by Kim Bold.
For such a little book with short chapters, I found myself reflecting so much that it took me days to read it. What a magical book. The history of the human species told through the lives of earth's other creatures. Each chapter stirred such emotions that I'm moved to write to you about it.
Chapter 1: Beaver - Why? Why says the Wise One....Why build dams? Because that's what beavers do. Why are we impelled to write songs? Because that's what writers do.
Chapter 2: Walrus - Most unpredictable. I thought the story would end differently. The walrus would save the herd with his vocal skills. Instead he came full circle in a most humble way.
Chapter 3: Lynx - "Crossing the river of the subconscious mind". Things get better when (you) reach the limit of your abilities.
Chapter 4: Giraffe - "daily pursuits", Team work, "many colors of thought", "look into their eyes (Wildebeests) to find your own humorous shortcomings and then you will no longer need to run with the wildebeests".. "Coordinating your movements with your thoughts". Many hidden messages in this one...
Chapter 5: Panda - "His high pitched cry pierced the plants and all of nature". The process of learning and growing......Mother Earth's Aid.
Chapter 6: Toucan - The Sloth was most intriguing.."Because my thoughts are so deeply rooted in spiritual matters, my body serves as an earthly portal for the light of the spirit"...Wow..... "Ethereal instrument...The darker side of liberty/justice...
Chapter 7: Badger - 'Animal Planet' had a recent episode on some badgers, so this was especially meaningful... "tunnel creations". The Fox was most interesting...His tail is his rudder. Hit home, I've been the Fox many many times over. I guess I need to find my "dancing tree"...
In summary, the 1st and last chapters, The Beaver and The Badger, hit closest to home...all the current nerves were touched. I sure have a lot to learn. The interconnectiveness of the animals in the stories, each stirring the thoughts and deeds of the the main character kept the stories moving.
Thanks for the ride..... "
I have attended one of Kim's Native American Flute Classes, and I would highly recommend the class to anyone interested in learning about the NAF and it's beauty. The tones of the meditation CD contained in the book are eerily haunting and calming at the same time. The "Gaia" book was written "I have attended one of Kim's Native American Flute Classes, and I would highly recommend the class to anyone interested in learning about the NAF and it's beauty. The tones of the meditation CD contained in the book are eerily haunting and calming at the same time. The "Gaia" book was written as a children's book, but the messages from each animal discussed really hit home to me. It was if each annimal story brought up images of my own search for the meanings of 'What, Where,& Why' of my own life. This is a "must read" for anyone continuing on a path of enlightment with an interest in harmony with all the planet(GAIA) and Her many beings (SPIRIT ANIMALS).
Thanks for sharing this beautiful concept!!"
Kim Bold is a master flute player. Her imagery of the songs she created is wonderful. You can feel the giraffe walking across the plains. The stories can be shared with children and I am sure they will enjoy them as much as I did. Good work Kim!
