    Here Vickie and Dawson discuss:
    Vickie’s background
    Listening to what the body wants to say
    Trauma trapped in the body
    When traumatized the body loses room inside for oneself
    How to know when the body softens and lets go
    When we were babies people held us and made soothing sounds
    In previous generations people talked to their bodies and the earth
    Ask: What do you need heart, belly, organs?
    The body is 70% water, but in trauma liquid becomes stiff
    The more fluid we are, the healthier our bodies become
    Our body loves the sound of our voice
    Humming a tune all through your body
    Breaking up crystallization
    Healing through Sound
