What if sound isn't just something we hear, but the very force that created the world? In today's episode of Your Year of Miracles, I'm joined by my dear friend and soul sister Lynne McTaggart, award-winning author of The Field and The Intention Experiment, and author of the new book The God Notes. We explore the science of sound healing, the frequencies that shape our bodies and minds, and the surprising evidence that music was here long before we were. Lynne shares what she uncovered as an investigative journalist digging into published research from scientists at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, and UCLA, the ancient sites built to resonate to a single note, and the "God notes" that can help us heal, transcend, and live more fully in the Miracle Zone. Here's what you'll hear: How sound created the world Why our cells hum and communicate through sound The music red blood cells love most The ancient sites that all resonate to the same note The B-flat note that black holes make The sounds that may be working against you How the Santa Ana winds affect our moods The two tuning fork notes that calm the mind How binaural beats shift the brain Why the universe was never an accident So, I invite you to listen with fresh ears this week, and notice how the sounds around you affect your body, your mood, and your spirit. Let's make that happen here on Your Year of Miracles. Lynne McTaggart is one of the central authorities on the new science and consciousness, and the award-winning author of eight books, including the worldwide bestsellers The Field, The Intention Experiment, The Bond and The Power of Eight, and her latest book, The God Notes. Her books are in some 30 languages. She is also the architect of the Intention Experiments, a web-based "global laboratory" to test the power of intention to heal the world, and she was prominently featured in the plotline of Dan Brown's blockbuster The Lost Symbol. Brown even created a character partly based on Lynne, who ran Intention Experiments. A highly sought-after public speaker who has spoken on nearly every continent, Lynne has also appeared in many documentaries, including What the Bleep?! Down the Rabbit Hole, I Am, The Living Matrix, The Abundance Factor, The Healing Field, The 1 Field, Frequency and Superhuman 2: The Rebirth. Gaia.com recently released a two-part documentary, The Power of Intention, which showcases Lynne's scientific exploration of her Intention Experiments and the profound effects of intention within her Power of Eight® groups.

What if miracles aren't rare at all, and you could start noticing them every single day? In today's episode of Your Year of Miracles, I'm joined by my dear friend Jonathan Robinson, author of 17 books, frequent guest on Oprah and CNN, and author of the new book Opening to the Miraculous. We talk about signs from the universe, synchronicities, and the true miracle stories that remind us we live in a magical universe. Jonathan shares what he learned studying world-class psychics, the unexplainable experiences he's witnessed firsthand, and the simple gratitude practice that can make you a magnet for more miracles in your daily life.

Do you find yourself thinking too much? What if the fastest way to quiet a busy mind doesn't involve your mind at all? In today's episode of Your Year of Miracles, we'll explore how the power of sound can help quiet the mind and create a deeper sense of peace—something we've already known how to do even before we can talk. I'll be sharing my own journey into sound healing, the three powerful reasons sound can bring you peace, and we'll also have an actual experience of how sound healing can help you slow down, receive, and open your heart. In this episode, you'll discover: How Jim's harmonies of light got me into sound healing
What if something as simple as sound could help shift your brain, calm your nervous system, and change the way you feel? Sound is so much more than something we hear. It's vibration—and according to sound designer and meditation technology expert Marc Gilson, our brains and bodies are wired to respond to it. In this fascinating episode of Living in the Miracle Zone, I sit down with Marc to explore the surprising science and healing potential of sound. Marc has spent more than 30 years working with brainwave entrainment, therapeutic sound, music, and meditation technology, and he shares why sound can have such a profound effect on our physical and emotional state. Marc also tells an unforgettable story from his early days as a musician, when his band performed at a school for hearing-impaired children. Watching the students dance, touch the speakers, and literally feel the music changed the way he understood sound forever. We explore how binaural beats and brainwave entrainment work, why certain sounds may help us move into deeper states of relaxation and meditation, and how music, humming, chanting, nature sounds, and other forms of therapeutic sound can affect the way we feel. And the best part? Working with sound doesn't have to be complicated. You don't need to master a special technique. Sometimes all you have to do is listen. In this episode, you'll discover: Why sound isn't just an auditory experience—it's something your whole body can feel
