Scary Accident Ends Well
On a recent trip to Florida our daughter Clara nearly drowned in a hotel pool. She was being watched by her nanny Jaime while we were inside at a seminar.
After playing together in the 5 foot deep pool, Jaime got out to grab her towel. Clara stood at the edge of the pool. Turns out the towel was 50 feet away. Jaime turned around and Clara had disappeared.
She’d jumped or fallen into the pool.
Luckily Clara didn’t swallow much water. Of course she was in shock and coughed for a while.
Ever since that scary episode she’s had the hardest time hearing other people cough. She’ll tell anyone who does to stop. In the beginning her reactions were quite emotional. She would instantaneously react to a cough a mile away and start crying.
Now she temporarily stops what she’s doing, but still asks for the person to stop. Her allergic reaction to the sound of coughs will hopefully disappear soon.
All of us have emotional connections to certain sounds. These are sound memories. Often you might hear certain music, a name or word, a voice or a particular sound – that triggers a memory. Mostly subconsciously. But sometimes the memory can be strong enough to bring up a visual scene in your mind.
Clara had an especially traumatic visual connection to a sound. Since coughing season is upon us, we’re crossing our fingers.
Otherwise she’ll have to be quarantined from the public.
Just kidding. It’s no joke though that sound is powerful. On the flipside, when used in a positive way – sound is a great healer.
You can experience uplifting sounds by listening to the five CDs in the The Secret Power of Words and Music. Don’t wait. Create your good sound memories now.
Warm Regards,

P.S. Soon there’ll be an announcement that will take you deep into the world of aural delights.
