Psychosomatic Music integrates musical training with a personalized spiritual and mindfulness practice, utilizing techniques like breathwork, somatic inquiry, improvisation and deep listening. Inspired by Indigenous and multicultural music and spiritual traditions, it is designed for musicians of all levels who want to deepen their connection to themselves and their community through the practice of music and creativity.

This is designed for:
  • Classically-trained or gigging musicians who’ve lost their passion for music or practicing, or who find themselves more drained than energized by it.
  • Beginners who want to learn an instrument both as a hobby and a mindfulness practice (for those learning piano, this is an integrative and holistic pedogagy build on top of traditional music lessons)
  • Former or current church/religious musicins who want to reconnect to music as a sacred, ecstatic or transcendent experience, especially after religious trauma or spiritual abuse

Why This Approach?

Modern psychotherapy is rediscovering the long-lost wisdom of mind-body-spirit integration. Yet, many of us engage with music in a way that is disconnected from its ancient, transformative, and communal healing power, especially in the West where music is commercialized, relegated to inhumane performance metrics, especially when our livelihood is attached to it. 

Music-making is inherently multisensory and extrasensory, physical and non-physical, personal and communal. It connects mind to body, you to self, and self to other. By re-integrating it with somatic and mindfulness techniques, you can unify and deepen your musical and meditative practice—cultivating trust, a sense of home within yourself and your instrument, and fostering greater creativity, flow, and emotional well-being.

My approach is unique to each person’s needs and goals. If you're interested in participating or have questions, reach out to tlinahan@gmail.com.

I also offer deep listening sessions for individuals working through grief, anxiety and recovery. Read more here.
