Gong Sound Therapy: A Path to PTSD Healing is a trauma-informed sound podcast created to support regulation, rest, and choice for those living with PTSD and chronic stress. These episodes use gong sound as a steady presence—not a directive experience. There is no guidance to follow, no requirement to relax, and no expectation to stay. Listeners are invited to engage in whatever way feels safest: listening closely, listening lightly, drifting, sleeping, or stopping at any time. Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot approaches gong work with deep respect for the nervous system. The sounds are intentionally spacious, paced slowly, and free of sudden shifts. Silence and integration are treated as essential parts of the experience, not gaps to be filled. This work honors the reality that healing does not move in straight lines and cannot be rushed. This podcast is designed especially for survivors who may feel overwhelmed by traditional guided practices or pressured to “go deep.” Here, sound is offered as support rather than intervention—something that can be received or set aside without consequence. Gong Sound Therapy: A Path to PTSD Healing is not about fixing or forcing change.  It is about creating conditions where safety is possible, autonomy is respected, and the body is trusted to know what it needs. You are welcome exactly as you are.  Staying is optional.  Leaving is allowed.

    In Gentle Orbit

    In Gentle Orbit is a sound podcast created for being held without being led. These episodes offer ambient sound as a steady field rather than a journey.

Rooted in trauma-informed Sound Alchemy, In Gentle Orbit centers gravity instead of momentum. The sounds move slowly, if at all—designed to support nervous-system safety without asking the body to change. Silence and space are part of the composition, not interruptions. This podcast is for rest days, late nights, and moments when attention feels fragile. It is especially supportive for listeners who need sound that does not pull, push, or escalate. Nothing here requires your focus.  Nothing here requires your presence. In Gentle Orbit exists to remind you that being held does not require movement—and that leaving is always allowed. You’re free to listen for any portion of this episode. You’re free to drift, rest, or stop at any time. Nothing is required of you here.

    Jupiter Without Escape: A Jupiter Gong Bath

    Jupiter Without Escape is a sound healing journey guided by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, inviting expansion that is grounded, embodied, and honest. Rather than using sound to float away from discomfort, this immersion works with the vast, benevolent energy of Jupiter to support growth that stays present with the body and the nervous system. Jupiter is often associated with abundance, wisdom, and amplification. In this offering, its frequency does not bypass pain or overwhelm the listener with intensity. Instead, the gong and harmonic layers gently widen inner space while maintaining a sense of safety and containment. This is expansion without dissociation—growth that does not require leaving yourself behind. As the tones unfold, they encourage trust, perspective, and resilience, helping the body integrate more capacity rather than escape sensation. The sound may feel spacious, protective, and quietly powerful, allowing emotions, memories, or insights to arise and move through at their own pace. Jupiter Without Escape is especially supportive for those navigating healing, trauma integration, or moments of transition—when the desire for more must be balanced with the need to stay rooted. This is sound as a companion, reminding you that true expansion happens when you are fully here.  #JupiterGong #SoundHealing #topfanfollowers #newmusicalert #Selfhealing #Healing #Selfcare You’re free to listen for any portion of this episode.

    Neptune's Quiet Tide: A Neptune Gong Bath

    Neptune’s Quiet Tide is a Neptune Gong Bath guided by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, offering a gentle descent into stillness, intuition, and the spaces beneath words. This immersion invites the listener to soften the edges of awareness and rest within the subtle rhythms of the inner ocean. The Neptune Gong unfolds in slow, shimmering waves—tones that blur boundaries and dissolve the constant need to define or understand. Sound drifts like water through the body, moving around resistance rather than through it, allowing the nervous system to settle into a quieter state of being. Thoughts loosen. Time becomes porous. Silence begins to feel spacious rather than empty. This is a place for listening without effort.  For sensing without interpretation.  For resting in what cannot be named. As the vibrations ebb and flow, emotions may surface gently, then recede, leaving behind a sense of spaciousness and quiet clarity. The body is invited to float, supported by sound that does not ask for release, insight, or transformation—only presence. Neptune’s Quiet Tide is an offering of deep rest and subtle integration. A reminder that healing sometimes arrives not as movement or breakthrough, but as a quiet tide returning the body to its natural state of flow.

    Venus Knows the Way: A Venus Gong Bath

    Venus Knows the Way is a Venus Gong Bath guided by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, inviting the body into a remembrance of ease, beauty, and embodied trust. This immersion is not about striving toward harmony, but about allowing harmony to reveal itself—naturally, gently, and without force. The Venus Gong moves in warm, enveloping waves, carrying tones that speak directly to the heart, the senses, and the subtle emotional body. Its resonance encourages softening where effort has lived, opening where protection has been necessary, and listening where the mind has tried to lead. Here, the body is invited to feel rather than figure things out. This is a space where pleasure is not indulgence, but medicine.  Where self-worth is felt, not affirmed.  Where connection begins inside the body, not outside of it. As sound fills the room, layers of tension unwind at their own pace. Emotions are allowed to rise and settle without interpretation. Breath finds a natural rhythm. The nervous system receives a quiet message: you are allowed to receive. Venus Knows the Way is an offering of trust in the wisdom of the body and the intelligence of the heart. A reminder that beauty, healing, and alignment are not something you must seek—when given space, they already know how to find you.

    Where the Body is No Longer Rushed: A Chiron Gong Bath

    Where the Body Is No Longer Rushed is a Chiron Gong Bath devoted to slowing what has lived too long in urgency. Guided by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, this immersion creates a space where the nervous system no longer needs to brace, perform, or arrive anywhere at all. The Chiron Gong speaks in low, steady waves—tones that do not demand release, insight, or transformation. Instead, the sound listens. It meets the places shaped by old wounds, unspoken grief, and survival pacing, offering resonance rather than repair. Breath naturally deepens. Muscles soften without instruction. Time loosens its grip. This is not a journey toward feeling better.  It is an experience of feeling safe enough to stop rushing. As the vibrations move through the body, they invite a remembering: healing does not come from pushing through pain, but from allowing the body to set the rhythm. Silence and sound weave together, creating a gentle container for rest, regulation, and quiet integration—especially supportive for those living with trauma, chronic stress, or fatigue. Where the Body Is No Longer Rushed is an offering of permission. Permission to slow. Permission to be held by sound. Permission to let healing unfold at the pace of the body itself. You’re free to listen for any portion of this episode. You’re free to drift, rest, or stop at any time. Nothing is required of you here.
