Hi Christine,
Love the H.A.R.P. Blog! A wonderful place to share and to connect.
May I post this on my blog, The Green Man's Harp?
Blessings and hugs,

Dear Harp Spirits all over the world! the time has come for us to meet and share our stories and connexion to the harp. I belive we are called to play this instrument as a part of the inmense amount of healing energy needed, and offered at this time on planet Earth, and we, as harp players have a very specific part to ¨play¨ bringing in a unique vibration that can help to truly transform our surrondings and ourselves, bringing us closer to Source. I remember the first time I felt the most beautiful inner calling from my soul to learn to play the harp, back on my teens, in a small village in Toscana, there was a gentle man playing his harp, he was playing from his heart as in a magic trance...all the stones in the square were vibrating at the melody, becoming alive, the air, the light, the peolpe around me... everything felt different!as if a magic spell was falling from the notes floating on the air. 20 years later I m begining to heed the call to play the harp. I have been discouraged so many times thinking the dream was too difficult or unrealistic, and I let go of the harp so many times but the harp did not let go of me, and kept coming into my life until I finally took the commitment to heed this call no matter what my rational mind was telling me... and then I found Christine and I feel my prayers have been answered. Im so moved to see there are so many Harp Spirits out there, we are connected through the invisible web of Light and healing energy we are facilitating to come through. It takes courage and faith for some of us, like me, when musical background is practically unexistent, to belive in myself as a channel of healing sound, to patiently soothe the logical mind so she can jump in and join in this task...Im so grateful to have Christine´s loving guide and truly belive that I can can begin right now. I look forward to share with you all the beautiful stories and tell you more about the unfolding path with the harp in my heart. Thank you for reading...lets play!
Angel thank you for your insperational words. I am also new to the harp and Christne. I have been playing for about 10 weeks now. And like you I had no musical at allbackground except all my children and husband play a variety of instruments. I first heard a live harp abouy 1 year ago at a peacepipe ceremony. The sounds from the harp were so moving that they opened my heart in a way that I had never before experienced. I left the ceremony knowing that a harp must come into my lfe. When I told my husband of my experience he thought it was great but get a harp?? He wasn't so sure. So 2 months later the pull only stronger I told him I have to do this. I don't know how but I will make this happen. Also I'm disabled and really wasn't sure I could physically play the harp but this did not stop me. So last December after almost a year of planing and working with Dave at Heartland Harps the harp of my prayers and heart was created.My Heartland Serenity Therapy Lap Harp arrived. I planned it's arrival for Christmas so all my family would be here to share in Aria becoming part of our lives. It was almost like bringing a new baby into the family. It continues to be one of the best choices I have made in many years. My harp brings me so much joy and happiness that I seldom miss a day of playing, yes PLAYING as if a child wre playing. It is so clear to me that every note and vibration from my harp,Aria, sends wonderful,healing sound into the universe. I say a short prayer everytime I play with the intention of adding this healing energy to the influx of energy healing our planet. It has brought me nothing but pure joy. Working with Christine has allowed me to get my "little self" out of the way and allow the music to flow through my hands to Aria and out to the universe. It is all moving so fast. And what seemed impossible is now a reality.
One of my grown daughters who took up energy healing where I left off also has had a harp come into her lfe in the past 2 months. She has already incorperated it into her sound healing workshops and sessions with amazing results and feedback.
I look forward to meeting more Harpspirits. When I figure out how to do it I will post A picture of myself, my Harp,Aria and if possible my service dog Sadie. Thanks for lisening and sharing. Donna from Connecticut
Dear Donna! I hope my answer reaches you, it took me long to reply! I would love to see a picture of you and your harp, and thank you so much to share your beautiful story, it really encourages me to keep going and follow the call. Joining another harp spirits is such a gift of inspiration. I am a new mother and my time now is quite tight at the moment so I am only able to dedicate a few moments here and there to my harp, and I progress really slow... still is very nourishing and harmonizing practice. Please keep connected, I would really appreciate more on your insights.Love and harmony from Spain. Angel
I feel so blessed to connect with fellow HarpSpirits! My name is Crystal, and Oreo is my harp. I've played many instruments and previously performed a great deal, but my connection with the harp goes so much deeper than "playing music." We play music, yes. But we also heal. I learn through my harp - learn to open, to trust, to believe, and to share. In only this one Summer, I went from not having a harp, to not only having one, but bringing it into my personal and professional healing practice. Now, I don't have a personal life and a professional life. There is no "me" that my family sees and another for everyone else. There is me, and that is enough - enough for my family, for my clients, and most importantly, enough for me. Finally, I'm being restored to the complete being I was meant to be, and somehow I have the harp to thank for that. I don't know where we're going, my harp and me, or we HarpSpirits. But I know, now is the time for this journey; now is the time to open our hearts and answer the call. Some are harp therapists and play clinically. Some play for family and friends. There are as many purposes as there are HarpSpirits, and more, for more harpers! But one thing is clear: The harp is a truly special instrument, a gateway, a vortex where the spiritual and physical worlds meet. And it is our calling, our honor, to share the harp any way we can.
