Splendor and Humility within Harmony, Beauty and Truth

PSALMS OF MY SOUL by Joy Krauthammer
With splendor 
of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls' reverberating sounds 
with bowl in hand, in humility 
I withdraw and am guided 
to play for others' harmony, balance and healing. 
Surrender to the sounds of the Singing Bowls. 

- Joy Krauthammer, sound healer


I must examine my own face in the Light of G*d, B'Tzelem Elokim, and see what blemish I need to remove or refine to reach Shavuot, during 49 days of Counting of the Omer. 
I am grateful for the gift of sound healing and being able to share Sounds of Joy.

Serving G*d With Sounds of Joy
"Ivdu Et Hashem B'Simcha" Psalm 100:2

PSALMS OF MY SOUL   by Joy Krauthammer

Serve in Harmony


I love Tiferet. Tiferet mediates between Chesed and Gevurah. I have to use Gevurah on Tiferet's side, to hold back, and not write a manifesto on this topic when I think of all the music, arts and gifts that come from Chesed. 

For me, Yesod, Bonding is a Foundation with chevre, with community and comes from a womb creating many 'babies' including music. Today I think of Service to G*d and community when I see a photo I shot of the stained glass window at Reb Shlomo Carlebach's, z"l, upper west side synagogue.  I loved Reb Shlomo and loved being his percussionist. As a drummer, I continue to serve Judaism with  joy, and love sharing Shlomo's music that he received from Shamayim.

I can't think of the blemish that needs rectifying in this situation. All the time I strive to be better, to be a better support, thus this must help purify where I have qualities needing cleansing. My music although 'out there' accompanying other musicians, is very personal to me. I regularly check in with the Holy One to make sure that what comes from my heart and soul and hands is in the right Truthful spiritual direction. I know my music helps Bond spiritual community, as members let me know, so that is also reassuring to me to affirm my playing schedules and venues.  My music comes from the first Temple. 

My music is about Truth. I don't think of my music in Beauty, but yes, some aspects of it are, such as when I play the gentle chimes and can hear angels twinkling. I guess it is in Beauty because people are inspired and uplifted. That is Truth. People pray and dance to my accompanying Sounds of Joy. My music is in Balance and Harmony with the other musicians. 

In addition to my drumming percussion, my gift of Singing Bowls meditations comes from my Yesod, and how I am guided to birth the massaging sounds.


In both ongoing experiences, I am humble and grateful, knowing that I am a vessel and the sounds of my hands as they play instruments, come through me from the Holy One. I am grateful to be blessed to Serve G*d With Joy, "Ivdu Et Hashem B'Simcha".
