Create Success
Kelly Howell
2005

Brain-sync founder Kelly Howell is the personification of the "Teacher, heal thyself" principle. This pioneer in healing and mind expansion discovered the power of meditation through a freak accident. At 22 Howell was hit with a plethora of devastating occurrences—her marriage and health failed, and she lost her mother to cancer. To combat what would seem like imminent negativity, she recorded meditations and would play them to herself before bed. Aside from lulling her to sleep, the positive effects were seen very quickly afterward. She ambitiously embarked on a quest to develop her own auditory healing tools, through voracious research and countless tapes made for family and friends. Her 1986 release Slim Forever remains a success today, and since then Howell has consulted with everyone from musicians, therapists, and neuroscientists to create the perfect sonic healing mechanism. To date, her brainwave therapy is used to treat and cure depression, insomnia, obesity, and ad! diction.

Her 2005 release Create Success uses subliminal messages hidden in music to inspire the listener to succeed in whatever they desire, simply by listening. It is a two-part album, the first track for listening to at any time. Warm, guttural tones, didgeridoo, breaths, and deep rumbling beats create a sense of ease, all while sonically implying messages such as "stay calm, centered, and focused," and "I ground my visions in reality." Howell's meticulous study of the healing arts of sound is clear; each sound that is layered onto the foundation of bass tones provides another harmonious element. Choral sounds, flutes, tinklings of piano, and lush synthesizers all add another affirmation. In the musical safety net, it becomes easy to believe that your own intuition will show you the way, and you are both recognized and lucky.

The second track is intended for listening to with headphones, when you have ample time to relax. Part of what makes Howell's work so successful is her acknowledgment of the need for affirmations both on the go and when the mind is at rest. The messages and sounds of this second track have much in common with the first, though the bass tones are less primal. The focus is less on a gentle invigoration and more on a calming and steadying of the mind. Each sound luxuriates through the passages of the brain, providing encouragement and positivity with each musical nuance, reminding you that once you let go, you will indeed find solutions.

by Ana Holub

Are you jazzed about your spiritual journey, but notice a few things freak you out now and then? Do you feel awkward about yourself and hope someday you'll feel alive and comfy in your own skin? Are you curious about living fully, not just in your top 3 chakras? Do you simply need some help in the inner strength department? A genuine spiritual path includes truly feeling what's happening, including the sublime, the horrific and the just plain mundane. The power of our emotions has been so long denied, and they're insistently calling, cajoling, and sometimes yelling for our attention. This course is a loving answer to that call.
