In this episode, we explore the profound healing power of crystal singing bowls and the science and spirituality behind vibration as medicine.

We discuss how sound healing works beyond hearing, how even Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals can benefit from the vibrational frequencies that move through the body, nervous system, and energetic field. Healing, we learn, is not only something we hear, but also something we feel.

Our conversation also touches deeply on grief and resilience. Jeralyn Glass shares how crystal singing bowls became a source of comfort and healing after the devastating loss of her only child. Through sound, vibration, and intention, she found a pathway through grief and now helps others do the same.

We talk about:

• What crystal singing bowls are and how they work
• How vibration supports emotional, physical, and spiritual healing
• Why sound healing transcends language and hearing
• The role of music as a universal, connective force
• How sound can help process grief, trauma, and loss

This episode is an invitation to listen differently to your body, your emotions, and the subtle frequencies that connect us all.

Guest Bio: Jeralyn Glass

Jeralyn Glass is the Founder of Crystal Cadence, a private sound healing studio that houses one of the largest collections of Crystal Alchemy Singing Bowls in the world.

After experiencing unimaginable tragedy with the loss of her only child, Jeralyn found deep solace and healing through the resonant tones of crystal singing bowls. What began as personal healing became a lifelong calling—to share the transformative power of sound with others.

She is the author of Sacred Vibrations: The Transformative Power of Crystalline Sound and Music (Hay House), where she explores music not merely as art, but as a universal language and potent medicine capable of soothing the soul, healing emotional wounds, and lifting the human spirit. Her work bridges science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom, reminding us that sound connects us all.

In this episode, Ronika Merl shares her personal life journey, overcoming sex trafficking to becoming an award-winning screenwriter, director, and literary author. What did she have to do to become who she is today? Below are some take-away-quotes from the episode:

" Do I have peace? Where can I find it?"

" Do I have purpose? Where can I find it?"

"Do I have power? Where can I find it?"

"Do I have persistence? Where can I find it?"

"Be careful with what you want, because you will get it."

"Take inaction when things speed up."

"Every action and inaction has an outcome."

"It is our life lesson to create our gentleness."

"Don't chase, let things come to you."

"What do you need to change to get to that place?"

"I didn't make the decision, the decision made me."

BIO

Born into an indigenous nomadic tribe in a remote mountain village in India, Ronika's early life was deeply rooted in the music, traditions, and storytelling of the Gaddi people. Her journey took a dramatic turn when she moved to Austria, where she faced numerous personal challenges and periods of displacement, including human trafficking and sexwork. These formative experiences profoundly influenced her creative voice and inspired her to explore powerful themes of trauma, identity, and resilience in her writing. Eventually settling in Ireland, Ronika drew from her multicultural experiences to shape a unique perspective that defines much of her work today.

Her screenwriting career gained international attention when she placed highly in both the prestigious Academy Nicholl Fellowship and the Austin Film Festival in 2019. These accolades opened doors within the film industry and established her as a rising talent in screenwriting circles. Ronika has written over 22 feature-length scripts, with standout projects including Baabul, a deeply personal and culturally rich narrative; The House with the Blue Windows, which blends emotional depth with visual storytelling; and Blackbird, a powerful drama that has already been optioned for production. Her directorial debut, The Closing, is currently in preproduction and is being developed with support from Oscar-winning producer Pearce Cullen.
