Play is serious business! It's the work not only of childhood but any creative. I learned this deeply after working as a play therapist for 25 years - including music, art and poetry therapy. The children taught me to return to what I had forgotten. Play is the preparation for all mature soul work. Children are not immature adults, adults are atrophied children. I don't mean childish, I mean the childlike qualities of wonder, awe, mystery and spontaneity are what we are lacking that children have in abundance!! How can you allow your fascination, interest and wonder guide you today?? Truly, play with the seriousness of a child at play!! Another one of my favorite burning embers - and music from my new album I'm working on. Blessings on your journey, Michael #playheals #seriousplay #mondaywisdom #soundwisdom #mondaymotivation #listenwithin #play #burningember #reminders #soundhealing #soulwork #innerwork #wonder #awe #mystery #presence #love #ambientmusic #ambientmusician #healingpianomusic #healingPTSD created by Michael Brant DeMaria with Michael Brant DeMaria's original sound

Huge thank you to the river, birds and Peter Sterling for another awesome Sedona moment! This is another short clip from last time I was there hanging out with my a dear friend and fellow musician, artist and wilderness guide Peter Sterling. Always a joy to be there and perhaps one day we will do an album together and a concert in Sedona! Love you Peter and thanks again for the tour and these shots!!

"When you let go over everything. Everything supports you." This quote, another burning ember for me, is never far away from my meditation and breathwork. It's so powerful and expresses the truth of how life is a river we must release into instead of some task to conquer or problem to solve. Everything is so deeply interconnected it's mind boggling AND heart opening. May you have a moment today (even if it's just before sleep) where you release and let go of everything you are carrying - and take a deep breath and see how it 'feels' in your body...
Blessings on this wild, winding, crazy river of life! Michael

This flute I call black beauty gifted to me by a dear friend. She always brings me into the now...and can even be played in the rain. Take a stress break and breathe as I play. No matter how challenging my day is, one breath brings me back home. You too have access to this ancient river back to the source...breathe...and be...
Blessings on your journey,
Michael

A few lines from my poem Broken Bread from my first book of poems: Moments: Healing Poems for the Journey Home ©michaelbrantdemaria
So often we go to people or books for wisdom, when the most powerful wisdom has always come from life and nature itself. The way light arrives in the early hours over a still lake, or the tenacity of all creatures great and small finding joy in bird songs and foraging for their next meal. Often, we must the Veil of Tears to fall - that is be broken up - usually by great suffering or great love to see the world as it actually is - a miracle of awesome sheer being...May you find the miracle of your own precious breath and life in this moment...trust your tears they will always take you home to your soul. Much love and many blessings on your journey, Michael

Listen for the birds at the end singing with my flute! Can you hear it?? Sedona...who doesn't love Sedona? This was a few years ago visiting my dear friend and fellow musician, artist and wilderness guide Peter Sterling. Peter is a magical harpist and took me to some of his favorite places - including playing on this cliff to the birds and spirits of this place. Always a joy to be there and perhaps one day we will do an album together and a concert in Sedona! Love you Peter and thanks again for the tour!!

The last lines from my poem Pilgrim's Glance from my first book of poetry Moments: Healing Poems for the Journey Home written for my dear friend Hugh Carter (Pilgrim) after taking his last breath at the age of 88. He's been on the other side of things for many years now, but remains in my heart always as someone in whose eyes I always felt seen, heard and loved. Read over a piece from my new album I'm working on.

Blessings on your journey from brokeness to wholeness, Michael

A small improv for your Thursday....Close your eyes take a deep breath...and release all you're carrying...and just be....
This cedar flute by JP Gomez was gifted to me by a dear friend and has a beautiful resonation. JP's Heartsong flutes he hand makes out of Sedona are true works of art.
Much love and many blessings on your journey,
Michael

He's been gone many years now, but remains in my heart always as someone who knew how to open his heart to the essential brokenness of life in order to deepen compassion, wisdom and love.

Last year in Costa Rica in the Mistico Park Arenal Hanging Bridges saw such amazing wild life (sloths, toucans, snakes, etc.) but the tree's I saw touched me deeply - like ancient monks watching over the land providing shelter, food and presence - playing them a serenade on my ancient Mayan bird whistle with a new ambient beat from my new up and coming album. Much love and many blessings on your journey,

"Land on your dreams as lightly as a butterfly on a flower." Someone shared this with me many years ago - a dear friend and I'm not able to find who the quote may be attributed too - but it has become another one of my burning embers. It has been such powerful wisdom and similar to be who you are on the way to becoming who you maybe. It is realizing there are other powers and forces at work besides our own limited desires - and yet - when we can see our surface desires actually are hints to our deepest desires and dreams of the soul and of the larger world we are but part of - we can be patient and wait for the right time and place for our gifts and the worlds deep needs to dove tail and join each other as if in a delicious dance. Follow your dreams AND hold them lightly - and do what needs to be done today. The paradox of being and dreaming has never been more powerful, urgent and needed than today in this crazy wild world of ours. Don't lose hope, don't give up AND take just one breath and step at a time while fully being here now.
With love and blessings on the journey, Michael

Sorin Oak in Austin, Tesas is one of the oldest tree's in Texas - presumed to be between 250-300+ year old and has been so resilient it has survived both a tornado and fire. It's diameter is 67.5 feet and a crown diameter of 82 feet, and it even has its own Facebook page.

It's a powerful and beautiful reminder that we will all run into the fires and storms that threaten to destroy us, and yet when we grow our roots deep and reach for the sky - we find our resilience from within to stretch without with all of who we are.

Life is a journey, not a math problem. The ego doesn’t like this, but the soul delights in it. This is one of the guiding mantra’s of my life - what I call one of my burning embers that reminds me of what matters, and what doesn’t. Much deep, meaningful, resilient love on the journey, Michael

My backpack didge! Can take it anywhere and always puts me in the zen zone - find your groove and let it help you dance it out! One of the oldest instruments on the planet and some consider it the sound of the earth itself #soundbath #soundhealer #didgeridoo #groove
May you be blessed this moment of listening and just breathing and being…Sharing my heart and breath through the flute at sunset warms my heart and soul and allows me to feel Spirit moving through me. Breathe in and let yourself just be…it is always enough…

I’ve been playing synthesizers for 40+ years now. When I played my first Moog at the age of 18 - I played for hours as it took me to that place I remember from my near death experience at 7. (For more on that story watch My Story on YouTube) It remains the place I go for creating the drone like sound beds for my flutes, piano and other paints I use on the canvas of my sound paintings. Working on this new album is bringing back to my roots as a synthesist and it’s a true joy that makes my childlike heart so happy 🙏🌀✨🎶🤍🕯♾🪶🌊🌎 #soundhealing #soundbath #ambientmusic #chill
