Shift of Heart: Paths to Healing and Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781518727269)

Music is in every one of her cells, and although Melody is her middle name, she enjoys being called Melody as her first name. From the time she was little, she has been a creative dreamer, quietly listening to life's whispers and signs. Although she looks forward to new layers of professional expansion and growth, her present history includes being an avid composer, national performing artist and award-winning independent recording artist (www.cherylmelody.com; www.cdbaby.com/cherylmelody ). Her songs are filled with lyrics that intend to uplift the human spirit. She is also an educator, sound healer, writer, playwright, poet, actress, storyteller, workshop facilitator and keynote speaker. Melody's most life-changing professional experience occurred as she performed her peace and healing concert for the deeply grieving community of Oklahoma City after the bombing tragedy. At that moment, she knew the common thread running through all she creates-to open hearts through the healing power of music and words, uniting people into one community of love. Along with the sacredness of quiet moments, she is equally delighted to be focused on an unexpected original song, book, poem, project, idea, special event or travel destination. She believes in a balance of quiet contemplation, meaningful social interaction, and the healing power of nature and creativity. Melody is inspired by people from all walks of life, and loves listening to each human story of challenge and triumph. In Shift of Heart, Cheryl Melody Baskin offers her highest wisdoms, insights and heart-centered compassion to everyone searching for increased inner growth and inner peace. She proclaims herself "a work in process," believing that the answers to our questions in life are inside each of us if we are silent and willing to listen. Most of all, Melody feels that every small moment of personal healing, compassion, love and forgiveness helps to create positive resonance that actively vibrates love into our beautiful planet.
