    'Rainbow Body' by John Pattern

    What does it mean to bring more light into your life — and what happens when ancient mantra, electronic music, movement, psychology, and the teachings of Ram Dass come together? In this episode of The Sound of Healing, Jason Amoroso sits down with musician and psychotherapist John Pattern to explore “Rainbow Body,” the title track from his new collaboration with the Archive of Ram Dass. John’s music has been a staple in Revelation Breathwork classes for years, helping support powerful emotional, spiritual, and embodied experiences. In this conversation, Jason and John listen to “Rainbow Body” together and explore the deeper intention behind the song and album. John shares how the Love Serve Remember Foundation invited him into the Ram Dass archives, where he discovered rare recordings of Ram Dass chanting ancient mantras. One of those recordings became the inspiration for “Rainbow Body” — and ultimately helped shape the entire album. They explore the concept of the rainbow light body, the power of mantra and visualization, bringing spirituality into ordinary daily life, John’s relationship with the teachings of Ram Dass and Alan Watts, and why movement and dance can become part of a spiritual practice. John also opens up about his own journey through addiction and recovery, how that experience transformed his relationship with music, and how his work as a licensed psychotherapist informs what he creates today. The conversation moves into a beautiful exploration of healing itself — including John’s perspective that healing happens when we stop fighting life and begin getting back into alignment with the regenerative nature of life.

    'Nothing Goes to Waste' by Kemy Ogendi

    What if nothing you've been through — not the heartbreak, the grief, the loss, or the struggles — was ever truly wasted? In this deeply moving episode of The Sound of Healing, Jason Amoroso sits down with singer-songwriter Kemy Ogendi to explore her beautiful song "Nothing Goes to Waste" and the profound message of faith, hope, surrender, and healing woven into her music. Kemy's music has been a beloved part of our Revelation Breathwork classes, helping people open their hearts, process emotions, and connect with something greater than themselves. In this heartfelt conversation, Kemy shares the surprising story behind "Nothing Goes to Waste," how the song became a way of processing her own grief, and why she deliberately chose to leave its musical ending unresolved. We explore the mystery of suffering, the relationship between grief and love, and what it means to trust that even life's most painful experiences can serve a greater purpose — even when we can't yet see how. IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE: - The unexpected inspiration behind "Nothing Goes to Waste" and how the song evolved into something much deeper. - How music gives us a way to express and process grief when words aren't enough. - Kemy's childhood experience of a family accident that forever changed her father's life and shaped her understanding of faith. - The difference between an angry "I don't know" and a hopeful, surrendered "I don't know." - Why the song intentionally ends on an unresolved note, reflecting the mystery and uncertainty of life. - How we move from trying to control life's circumstances toward acceptance, trust, and surrender. - Kemy's evolving relationship with God and her realization that faith isn't something she has to hold onto, but an experience of being held. - Her journey as a musician, her purpose of sharing the comfort she's received, and her upcoming album exploring childlike faith and trust. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing doesn't always mean finding answers, fixing what's broken, or understanding why something happened. Sometimes it means allowing ourselves to feel, surrendering what we cannot control, and trusting that love is still present in the mystery. As Kemy so beautifully expresses through her music, nothing goes to waste.

    'Confess' by Whatever Mike

    In this episode of The Sound of Healing, Jason Amoroso sits down with recording artist, songwriter, spiritual practitioner, Whatever Mike to explore their powerful song, “Confess,” from the EP Everything to Gain. 🎵 Listen to “Confess” on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/58HTUI5Prg4Y40k8IS4ltH?si=bd464ec896c149c5 “Confess” is an invitation to take responsibility for the ways we cause harm without abandoning grace, compassion, or our own fundamental goodness. Whatever Mike shares how the song emerged from years of spiritual study and honest self-examination. Together, Whatever Mike and Jason explore the difference between accountability and shame, why self-honesty may be one of the greatest acts of self-love, and how acknowledging that we are part of the problem allows us to become part of the solution. Their conversation moves through queer spirituality, gender fluidity, identity, and the freedom of “becoming nobody.” They explore what it means to hold the beauty and suffering of the world at the same time -and how we can remain rooted in love when anger, judgment, and division feel easier. This is a deeply honest and compassionate conversation about accountability, forgiveness, identity, grief, transformation, and the courage to admit that we are flawed while remembering that we are still worthy of grace.

    'I AM' by Michael Gungor

    In this episode of The Sound of Healing, Jason Amoroso sits down with Grammy-nominated musician, author, and podcaster Michael Gungor to explore his powerful song, “I AM,” from his album Magnificat. 🎵 Listen to “I AM” on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/7C9pqrrEUoukBd3O1HzrcU?si=ef5bab3c295d49ee The album came together during a chaotic and deeply personal season in Michael’s life. As wildfires swept through Los Angeles, Michael developed Bell’s palsy, leaving half of his face temporarily paralyzed. As sensation slowly returned, he experienced his body “welcoming itself home,” an experience that became part of the heart of Magnificat. Together, Michael and Jason explore “I AM” as more than an idea about God. Michael describes it as a spiritual practice, or “technology,” that can lead us beyond our thoughts, identities, and stories and into the direct experience of presence. Their conversation moves through the illusion of separation, the healing intelligence of the body, the mystery of Christ beyond religious dogma, and Jesus’ words, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” Michael also offers a provocative reflection on the cross and the anti-Christ: how religion can take something alive, fluid, and constantly being reborn and turn it into something static, permanent, and controllable. When the Church keeps Christ frozen on the cross, Michael suggests, it may be participating in the very energy that continually seeks to crucify Christ. They also explore breathwork, the courage it takes to feel what we are feeling, and what Michael calls the “death vortex”: the gradual letting go of who we thought we were so that we can become more fully present to life, freedom, and love. Michael shares the story of Ram Dass giving him the name Vishnu Dass, why that name served as an invitation back into his heart, and why he eventually no longer needed it. This is an expansive, provocative, and deeply human conversation about Jesus, healing, embodiment, identity, mystery, and the love already present within the most ordinary moments of our lives.

    'Something More' by Audrey Assad

    In this episode of The Sound of Healing, Jason Amoroso sits down with acclaimed singer-songwriter Audrey Assad to explore her deeply moving song, "Something More," from her latest album, Feel It All. Together, they unpack the song stanza by stanza, reflecting on self-compassion, the inner critic, anxiety, journaling, healing, and the simple yet profound practice of returning to the breath. Audrey shares the inspiration behind the song, why she wanted to write an "examination of conscience" rooted in compassion rather than shame, and how the lyrics continue to reveal new meaning to her over time. The conversation also explores Audrey's creative process, her experience with Revelation Breathwork, and what it was like breathing to music that already held deep personal significance. It's an honest, thoughtful conversation about being human, embracing all parts of ourselves, and discovering that sometimes, when we've lost our meaning or all feeling... there's nothing left but breathing. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, self-doubt, or simply longing for "something more," I hope this conversation meets you exactly where you are.

Ollá shares the story of writing Alakowe during a moment of self-doubt while traveling between countries… hearing her mother’s voice in her head… and being reminded to slow down, breathe, and take life one step at a time.

    'Extraordinary Life' by Gordi

    In this episode of The Sound of Healing, Jason Amoroso sits down with Australian singer-songwriter Gordi to explore the story behind her beloved song “Extraordinary Life.” Together they listen to the song and unpack the deeper meaning within it. Gordi shares how the song emerged during a time of profound personal change, as she was navigating identity, coming out, and questioning the life she thought she would live. The conversation also explores Gordi’s unique path living between two intense worlds. While building an international music career, she was simultaneously completing medical training and later working as a doctor during the COVID pandemic. Witnessing illness, death, and grief gave her a radically different perspective on the fragility and beauty of life, themes that continue to shape her songwriting today. In this conversation, we explore: • The story behind “Extraordinary Life” • How the song has become part of weddings, births, and life transitions for listeners • Gordi’s experience coming out and rebuilding her vision of the future • Working as a doctor during the pandemic while continuing her music career • What witnessing death taught her about the preciousness of life • What the word healing means to her today Listen to Gordi’s music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UBMFaCTZnL1Hr1nTOEblM?si=PFtULnjrTwaDT4nQa39RlQ Learn more about Revelation Breathwork:  https://revelationbreathwork.com Click Here: Learn more about the healing power of Revelation Breathwork.
