I was mowing the lawn recently, listening to grief-releasing solfeggio music, and crying. I just needed to let go—without words, without explanations for myself or anyone else.
At some point, the image of Edvard Munch’s The Scream came to mind. In my Heidi-esque way, I renamed it The Silent Scream. His figure, melting and wavy, clutching its face in soundless agony, felt like me. Everything inside was screaming, but no sound was coming out.
When I feel good about how I look—my hair, clothes, body—I rarely get compliments. But when I feel raw, drained, or emotional, that’s when people say, “You look great.”
It used to confuse me. Then it annoyed me. Now, I think I understand it.
I have a tendency to let feelings build up: grief, anger, resentment, jealousy, unfairness. The “fun” feelings. And my body shows it. I carry a lot of inflammation, especially in my face. Some mornings it’s puffy, by afternoon less so, and then it can shift again in the evening.
Sometimes that’s food-related, but more often it’s emotional. Over time, I’ve noticed that when I truly process and release the feelings I’ve been holding onto, my inflammation decreases. That deep letting go—the kind that leaves you raw, drained, exhausted, and oddly free—seems to soften everything. My body relaxes, and my true essence finally has space to show up.
After those releases, my face looks lighter, less weighed down. Maybe my posture shifts. Maybe my energy feels different. People notice. They tell me I look good. And it’s not because I styled my hair or put on a nice outfit—it’s because I’ve unburdened something inside.
Lately, listening to grief-releasing solfeggio has become a regular practice for me. I let the music move me where it needs to, without limits or conditions. It gives me space to let the feelings rise, and eventually, release. I’ll share more soon about solfeggio music and how it supports this process in an upcoming post.
I’m genuinely curious—am I onto something here, or have you experienced this too?
If you’re holding on to more than feels manageable—or even just wondering what you might be carrying—know you’re not alone. Reiki, therapy and other supportive practices can create space for release and healing. I’d be honored to hold that space for you. Consider this your invitation.
And if you’re curious about the solfeggio music I mentioned, stay tuned—I’ll be sharing more soon about the frequencies and simple ways you can use them to support your own process of release and healing.
