Are You An Emotionally Safe Person?
Welcome to another episode of the Sound Therapy Network Podcast, hosted by Niajae, embodiment coach and owner of Bliss Wellness Studio in Tampa, Florida. In this episode, Niajae dives deep into the concept of emotional safety, what it truly means, why it’s essential for healthy connections, and how it often remains elusive in today’s world. She takes us on a journey of self-awareness, exploring the nuanced ways emotional safety shows up (or doesn't) in our relationships, our healing practices, and even within ourselves. You’ll discover how emotional safety goes beyond physical well-being, it's about feeling seen, heard, accepted, and respected for your authentic self. Niajae highlights common empathy misses, the pitfalls of spiritual and emotional bypassing, and why ongoing shadow work is vital for practitioners and anyone wanting to foster compassionate, meaningful connection. She also explains how Sound Therapy can help us gently regulate our nervous systems, disarm our protective patterns, and create the internal safety necessary for deeper healing. Plus, you’ll gain practical tips and reflective prompts to help you cultivate emotional safety in your life and practice. If you’re a Sound Therapy practitioner, someone on a healing journey, or just curious about building safer spaces for yourself and others, this episode is packed with wisdom you won’t want to miss.

From Survival to Sovereignty
Have you ever made a decision from a place of fear, urgency, or pressure, and later realized it wasn’t truly aligned? In this episode of the Sound Therapy Network Podcast, we explore the profound shift from survival-based decision-making to sovereign, embodied choice.

But when you begin to regulate your body, integrate your inner parts, and build shame resilience, everything changes. This episode is an invitation to check in with how you're making choices, not just what you're choosing. It’s a call to reclaim your power, reconnect to your body, and lead from your whole, grounded self. In this episode, we explore: The difference between survival and sovereignty How trauma and nervous system dysregulation impact decision-making Signs you’re choosing from fight, flight, freeze, or fawn Why shame resilience is essential for aligned leadership How to know you’re healing and integrating your parts Tools to return to your body and make grounded, intuitive decisions How sound therapy supports sovereignty and embodiment This episode is for you if: You’re tired of reactive, fear-based decisions You want to feel more clarity and confidence in your choices You’re exploring embodiment, inner child work, or somatic healing You’re a sound healer, coach, or practitioner seeking to lead from your truth Don’t forget: If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s learning to lead from their body and truth, not pressure or performance.

Welcome to the Sound Therapy Network podcast!

Unpacking Religious Trauma With Shelley Olm
In this episode, I unpack religious trauma with Shelley Olm. Shelley is a certified Usui Holy Fire III Reiki Master, Sound Bath Facilitator, Master Vibrational Sound Healer, Yoga RYT 500, Advanced Buti Yoga Instructor, AFAA Group fitness instructor and Children’s Book Author. As a lifelong student, there is always more to learn, and she continually strives for more knowledge and experience. Because each situation and every person are different, Shelley likes to combine different healing modalities together depending on what type of healing is needed. This could be anything from placing singing bowls directly on the body in combination with energy work, to breathwork, sound bath, meditation, drumming, and vocal toning. Rooted in her love for Christ and for people, Shelley leads intuitive, Bible-based, spirit-led sound baths designed to nurture the soul and release trauma. Her sound baths are a unique blend of spiritual guidance and healing sound, aiming to uplift and restore every participant. Whether through the resonance of sound or the wisdom of scripture, Shelley is committed to helping others find their inner fire with peace, joy, and deep inner healing. We are vibrational beings; therefore, our body responds to the vibrational quality of sound as it enters the body in waves, balancing the Chakras, removing stuck energy, and opening the body to receive healing energy from the source of all things. In her spare time, Shelley enjoys spending time with family, writing, and trail running. Links: Website: IG Meta Group: Yoga, Sound and Wellness with Shelley TikTok: @lil.yogi.olm

Episode 65: Sound Therapy Regulations
In this episode, we dive into an important conversation about regulations in the Sound Therapy space. Niajae addresses common questions, and highlights the potential risks associated with untrained practitioners. Key Takeaways The Current State of Regulation: There is no official governing body for Sound Therapy. Certifications and licenses are typically issued by private companies, not official boards. Why Regulation Matters: Without standard oversight, there's a greater risk of harm in this space. Sound Therapy is powerful, and practitioners must understand its impact on mental, emotional, and physical health. The Importance of Trauma-Informed Training: Niajae shares examples of potential harm, such as triggering PTSD or overstimulating the nervous system, and how proper training minimizes these risks. Addressing Misconceptions: While sound therapy may seem harmless, playing instruments incorrectly or without understanding the nuances of the practice can lead to negative experiences for clients.

Additionally, we'll discuss the importance of incorporating somatic healing practices into our self-care routines to address trapped emotions that traditional talk therapy might miss.

The Impact Of Suppressed Emotions On Our Wellbeing
In this episode, I dive into the intricate relationship between our emotional health and physical ailments through the lens of Somatic Sound Therapy™. In this deep dive, I shed light on how suppressed emotions, particularly from our childhood, manifest as physical illness over time. I also explore the significance of reconnecting with and healing our inner child, to release these trapped emotions, thus achieving a healthier, more harmonious life. I touch on the importance of nurturing our sacral chakra, often disregarded yet vital for maintaining our emotional and physical health, and how it relates to common physical issues like endometriosis and cervical cancer. In addition to their connections to emotional neglect and technology's impact on our bodies. In this episode, I emphasize the transformative power of self-compassion and the necessity of re-parenting ourselves to foster better relationships and well-being. Whether you're seeking healing for yourself, or are a practitioner looking to deepen your practice, this episode promises enlightening perspectives on treating longstanding emotional wounds through sound therapy and compassionate self-care.

Establishing Safety Standards In Sound Therapy
Content Advisory: This episode mentions sexual trauma. In this episode, I dive into the crucial, yet often overlooked topic of safety within Sound Therapy practices. I unpack the importance of trauma-informed protocols and the responsibility of practitioners to safeguard their clients' emotional well-being. I touch on how misinformation and a lack of proper training can lead to harmful experiences, even in places meant for healing, and what it truly means to create an emotionally safe environment – one that honors consent, belonging, and autonomy. My Trauma Informed Sound Therapy Practitioner™ Certification aims to elevate standards and spark essential dialogues on how we, as healers, can continuously evolve. Together, we'll tackle the layers of decolonizing healing and the significance of shadow work for practitioners. Join me as we shine a light on the darker aspects of the healing world to create pure and nurturing spaces. It's not just about the sounds we produce; it's about the harmony we foster within the souls we touch. So, let's tune in, resonate with purpose, and make every healing space a sanctuary that echoes safety and compassion.
