Autoharp - Powerharp for the Bard

Healing Vibrations

There is something extremely soothing about playing this instrument. For me it's a combination of three things:

1. It is easy to learn
2. It's an instrument you cradle in your arms to play
3. It touches the spirit of my Inner Bard

I discovered the Autoharp after taking my girls to a children's music class. The children would instinctively gather around the teacher when she pulled out the instrument and they all watched and listened in awe. Even my 6 month old would kick her legs with glee, smiling & singing with the soothing strum.

I found that after playing the Autoharp for only a short amount of time that the vibrational energy that pours through me has opened up a whole new spiritual path. After a discussion with my reiki healer, I realized that this is another beautiful way to get closer to my Inner Guide. As I practice and learn I hear to my harp sing to me, my spirit glides on the mists of the forest in meditative voyages of self discovery.

Sweet.
