This week, we continue our conversation with Yoshua Greenfield. Yoshua is a talented musician, author, home cook, nature-lover, and bare-foot advocate.
That's why I created the Everybody Band. The reason I teach music and teach vocal opening is because I've had experiences with people who have never sang in their life. When I create a place that feels safe and comfortable and open, the craziest things happen.
When I left my band, I started studying vibrational healing and sound medicine. It started showing me this whole other layer of music as therapy and music as medicine. Getting to see someone sing for the first time or drum and then not wanting to put it down is everything.
How do you see the relationship between expression and healing? When I used to think that when I played music or when I danced that that was the only place I could be fully expressed. The more I became expressed in that space, I started to see how that trickled out into my life.
You don't subscribe to any story you tell yourselves. How would you work on addressing and maybe confronting those fabricary stories that we tell ourselves? Enlightenment is actually very simple. It's just awareness.
I want to learn, but recognize what might seem crazy from the outside. Even with my voice. The first time I opened and locked my voice was during a mushroom experience. Let's not try to get somewhere, but appreciate the experience when you're in it.
"Which brings me to the most important thing in my life, which is really music. And that was the first thing that showed me that there is a type of communication that you can experience with other people that is beyond words. That's a feeling. And it's in that resonance that there's this beautiful magic that happened because you're not trying to relate through the mind and the intellect but you're resonating on a certain feeling.” - Yoshua Greenfield
This week, we continue our conversation with Yoshua Greenfield.
Yoshua is a talented musician, author, home cook, nature-lover, and bare-foot advocate.
This week’s episode is part two of our interview, and we examine Yoshua’s philosophy around relationships. Whether living in a relationship with nature, self, or other humans, it’s important to look through the lens of resonance— that is, the felt sense of energetic connection; what feels right.
We go on to discuss music and Yoshua’s journey as a musician. His released album, You and The Everybody Band, aims to facilitate connection through shared musical experiences & improvisation.
He also teaches clients to sing through a unique vocal opening process. He shares several powerful stories which beautifully illustrate this voice-activation process, as well as the healing power of music and the importance of staying open to what life has to offer.
Stay tuned until the end to hear an incredible piece of music performed by Yoshua.
