I started this website a little over a year ago when I was visiting my son in Australia. He believed in me enough that he even paid for the initial costs of setting up the website. Everywhere I went and played the harp, I was always greeted with the utmost warmth and interest so I knew that there was a need to get more harp music out for people to enjoy. I just wasn’t sure if I could do a website justice. My son told me to just go for it and see what happens. Well, I never expected to see the kind of response I have seen in this past year and I know it is not really me that has the draw but the sound of the harp. It is so unique and the frequencies are so amazing!
I am not trying to blow my own horn here. I think the numbers reflect more the hunger people worldwide have for this calming soothing music that only the harp can accomplish. To date the website has gathered almost 20,000 views. These views have come from about 120 different countries, some more than others, but amazing all the same. I have had some heart warming comments and requests and have struck up quite a few new e-mail conversations along the way. My Youtube channel has combined with this site for another almost 18,000 views and 247 subscriptions – once again many countries and many comments.
I say all this to say that I am extremely grateful to all of you that have made this site such a success. It truly is testimony to the hunger worldwide for a form of music that connects with the soul and spirit and offers respite from the business and craziness of our everyday lives. It confirms to me that people really are searching out an alternative to the standard fair of entertainment and music; People really have a desire to connect more spiritually and experience a recreation and healing rather than just a tickling of their ears with the latest fad.
I am asking a favor of you, especially you who have come back frequently, you who have subscribed, you who recognize the difference contained within this music. There is no way I can get this site recognized by all the people who are looking for this kind of music but many more can find it if you will be willing to talk about it to them and point them to it – share it – talk about it – spread it on your email list or Facebook or other social media. Your positive feedback can do more to grow this site than any other method I know.
I’m not wanting to grow this site just to post super numbers – not at all. I just know there are a whole lot of people out there that are looking for what this site has to offer. I am always touched when I read a comment or an e-mail from someone who has just discovered this site and are amazed by the music, or the articles, or the understandings of the 528 Hz frequency and its healing qualities. I am amazed by over 5000 people receiving free harp lessons from my YouTube channel. Many have told me they have paid for lessons and have not gotten as much help as my free lessons on line. They ask me why I don’t charge. I don’t charge because I believe that I have a gift that needs to be passed on – “Freely you have received, freely give!” That’s the way I see it.
The world in general is turning crazy on many fronts. I believe that this music offers a place where people can go and not only shut the door on all the craziness going on, but also allow the frequencies to actually restore tattered cells and DNA that have been damaged from the onslaughts of our environment and societies. If you truly have been blessed by this music and this website, please pass it on. It might just be one of the best things you could do for those you care for and love.
Once again – Thank you from the bottom of my Harp!
Hi Steve,
I agree completely… the world, and our lives, is certainly much busier and is only getting busier and crazier. There seems to be more to do every day and more pressure to do it in less time. This is true for family life, for corporate and working life, for the young, the old and everyone in between. The idea of “spare time to relax” is rapidly becoming a luxury. In this fast paced, always on world we live in, finding the time to stop, to simply breath and to relax is becoming difficult. It is calming and relaxing music such as yours that allows the listener to switch off, chill out and escape from reality – even if only for a few minutes. In much the same way that a power nap can refresh the body, music such as yours can refresh the mind. The internet is an amazing place – kudos and thanks to you and your son for recognizing that your music should be shared around the world.
Thanks,
Matthew
