Sound healing is a hot topic and Richway International (the BioMat’s parent company) just introduced a sound healing product!
The BioAcoustic Mat is vibroacoustic therapy using a combination of vibrations and music to help improve your overall well-being and health. If you already own a BioMat, you place your mat on top of the BioAcoustic Mat to use the two products together. Or you may enjoy the BioAcoustic Mat as a separate product (without the BioMat).
This unique music therapy device uses transducers and speakers that are located throughout the mat. The speakers produce vibrations that go directly into areas of the body to reduce pain and ease any symptoms. This can feel like a deep cellular, whole body massage. Specific benefits of vibroacoustic therapy have been proved by research:
- Relaxation occurs.
- It can help manage pain and provide relief from pain.
- Patients using vibroacoustic therapy have also kept muscles stimulated, as well as increased their range of motion.
The BioAcoustic Mat comes in two sizes:
- Professional (fits on a massage table) – $1,650, free shipping and no sales tax
- Single (fits on a twin bed) – $2,200, free shipping and no sales tax
Testimonial:
“Using the BioAcoustic Mat with the BioMat is a complete state of bliss!!”
If you are interested in trying this product for renewal, relaxation or rejuvenation, contact me at 952-829-1919.

I am excited to share my newest endeavor with you – www.YourHealingHappens.com.
As a newly certified Inner Alignment coach with a specialty in trauma and grief, I provide a unique coaching experience to help facilitate your healing journey. Working with all six layers of the body (physical, emotional, mental, energetic, awareness and bliss bodies), clients transform from being stressed and overwhelmed to feeling empowered, balanced and focused. Further, this healing program is designed to facilitate clients expanding and expressing their true essence, awakening to their life purpose and manifesting their heart’s desires. What you “work” on (your life purpose or work, abundance, relationships, health, etc.) is determined by you! It is an eight-week power-packed healing process. Client objectives are customized for each individual and are not limited to, but may include:
- “Break up” stuck patterns of trauma, grief and pain.
- Open up possibilities for healing.
- Help bring you into balance and inner alignment.
- Release emotional pain from yester-year.
- Expand your consciousness and increase your ability to hold more light.
- Attract a better future.
You experience the 1-2 hour weekly sessions from the comfort of your home or office – on the phone or via Zoom (videoconferencing). Text and email support is available throughout the eight weeks of the program. The program includes videos, audios, workbooks and PowerPoints, and begins as soon as payment is received.
Previous clients have said…
- I am manifesting my life dreams!
- I’m calmer and not as stressed.
- I trust my inner knowing.
- I am more compassionate with myself and others.
- I am more grounded, balanced and focused … and I’m clearer about my priorities.
- I feel more in control of my life and I’m taking better care of myself.
If this program resonates with you, I would be honored to facilitate the Inner Alignment process as part of your healing journey. For a limited time, I am accepting scholarships to the Inner Alignment program. Contact me for the application form or for additional information. Click here for my new website and my profile.

We are reps for a wonderful product called the BioMat. The BioMat‘s parent company (Richway International) recently introduced a new product! And it is directly in Musical Reflections’ “wheelhouse.” It is called a BioAcoustic Mat and while we haven’t tried it yet, we’ve heard rave reviews from those who have used it.
The BioAcoustic Mat is vibroacoustic therapy using a combination of music and vibrations to help improve overall health. (If you already have a BioMat, you place the BioAcoustic Mat under the BioMat for use.) This unique therapy uses transducers or speakers that are located in the mat. The speakers create vibrations that go directly into areas of the body to ease symptoms. This can feel like a whole body, deep cellular massage.
Research shows a couple of specific vibroacoustic therapy benefits:
- Relaxation is an outcome.
- It can also help pain management and relief.
- Patients who used vibroacoustic therapy increased their range of motion and kept muscles stimulated.
For example: a National Institute of Health research study found “those who listened to music while feeling the vibrations experienced a significant reduction in pain, more so than those who only listened to music.”
Vibroacoustic therapy utilizes soothing music – same mission as ours! The music is created in such a way to complement relaxation and pain management mentioned in the research above. Also, watch this blog for additional info. In the meantime, if you would like to learn more, we’re here to answer any questions at tami@musicalreflections.com.

As the evenings are cooling off (at least in the northlands!), I love to share a product that I rep called the BioMat.
After using it personally for almost eight years, it has made such a difference in my overall health and well-being, as well as many of our happy customers.
 |
The BioMat is a Class III FDA-approved medical device (#2954299). It is a powerful healing tool utilizing the triad of1) Far infrared heat – infrared heat penetrates deeper and more evenly than a heating pad.2) Amethyst crystals – amethyst is a detox which helps us to eliminate toxins from our body. It is also used in meditation and is a very spiritual stone. |
3) Negative ions – negative ions make us feel good and are found in waterfalls, mountains, oceans and forests – all the places we love to vacation. (On the flip side, positive ions make us feel sluggish and lethargic.)
The BioMat’s health benefits include:
- Promotes relaxation and sleep
- Relieves pain and eases joint stiffness
- Increases blood circulation
- Improves immune function
- Removes waste and toxins.
Bio-mats are especially popular and has been proven effective with people who have these issues:
- Sore muscles, sprains, muscle spasms and soft tissue injuries
- Lower back pain or injuries
- Arthritis and muscular-skeletal ailments
- Fibromyalgia and other auto-immune diseases.
Available in several sizes, click here for more information. Half-price shipping may also be available – e-mail me about this. I look forward to connecting with you about this awesome product!

As many of you know, “darkness” kinda goes along with my harp work – many times, I am experiencing people at their most vulnerable, painful and “dark” time.
It is vital to be present to these times and frequently, when we “sink” deep into the darkness, hope and healing happens. Yes, it’s a mystery, but I see it time after time.
This George Chakiris quote says it beautifully, “No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible.” Important to remember – on many levels – these days, right?!

How are you doing and specifically, how is your nourishment going?! Do you feel like you are taking exquisite care of yourself and giving yourself all the nourishment you need? Danaan Parry from The Essene Book of Days reflects on these challenging times, “Outer darkness calls for nourishment within.”
Over the years, we have mentioned caring for yourself, but now, because of all the political craziness, it feels even more important than ever. What are your ideas of nourishment that work for you? We love to hear your thoughts…we learn from you (and we’re hoping you learn from us!!).
One thought that we love to share for nourishment is a product that we rep called the BioMat. It is an unusual triad of elements: 1) infrared heat, 2) amethyst crystals, and 3) negative ions. Available in several sizes (professional-size, mini,
single, queen and king), it helps with pain relief, joint stiffness, opening up the body’s circulation, promoting relaxation and sleep, and releasing toxins. Specifically, the BioMat is effective for arthritis, fibromyalgia, lower back pain, neuropathy, cancer and autism, etc. If you would like more information about this unique product, feel free to give us a toll-free call at 1-844-4BIOMAT (1-844-424-6628). We love to chat about it and share more about how nourishing it really is!

As I continue to reflect on the recent Mayo Clinic holistic wellness conference, I found it interesting that almost every speaker talked about breathing. (And yes, Barb Schommer and I talked about it in our Self-Care Salon that we presented!) She and I had a recent experience with a hospital patient … here’s the story:
We worked with a man who had had a procedure to rid his knee of infection. He had just finished physical therapy so was in some pain (7 out of 10) and was extremely anxious (9). He was worried whether or not the surgery had eliminated the infection and if not, what this meant for next steps. His wife and adult daughter were also in the room.
Barb immediately began doing Healing Touch, specifically energy clearing while I played the harp. About 15 minutes later, he looked like he was crying. I motioned for his wife and daughter to come over to the bed to comfort him – the wife stood opposite Barb and his daughter held his feet.
I whispered to the daughter, “Would he like the song ‘Amazing Grace?’” and she said, “Yes and also ‘O Danny Boy’ – this was the song that he and I danced to at my wedding.” These songs brought tears to everyone present.
Barb also taught him about his breath and how breathing could help him release any fear or pain. As we finished our work together, he was peaceful and very grateful. His pain score was reduced to 4 and his anxiety was also 4.
To discuss breathing with patients and families in the hospital environment always feels like we are giving them a life skill. What an honor to get to do this work!

I am excited to let you know the research study “Impact of Healing Touch and Healing Harp on In-Patient Acute Care Pain” is published in the Holistic Nursing Practice. This ground-breaking study examines the concomitant use of two complementary modalities to reduce pain, anxiety and nausea in the postoperative patient population. E-mail me for more information about this exciting research!
