Cindy's Kindred Spirits "Healing is not about fixing what is broken—it's about remembering the wholeness that has always lived within you." Today, Cindy and Darren share a passion.

Cindy served in the Canadian Armed Forces as a Medic for 6 yrs, from 1989-1995. During this time, a couple of her notable achievements were a deployment to Croatia where she served with 2RCR for 6 months, and the earning of her parachute wings. Satisfied that she had achieved her military goals, Cindy retired from a promising career to marry her husband, Darren Little. Enrolled in the Canadian Armed Forces in 1988, Darren has served 26 yrs in the Canadian Army. Over the course of his career, he has served on numerous tours overseas and is retiring at the the rank of MWO after 17 years in Canada's most elite unit. Also satisfied with his very accomplished career, he will be retiring this yr to assist in the corporation that they have built over the last 6.5 yrs, "Health2Wealth". Both Cindy and Darren were certified fitness instructors. As a team, they ran outdoor kettlebell group training under Darren's company, "Iron Discipline". As well, Cindy owned and ran her own home based gym "Feel'n Fine" for over 3 years, where she turned her 15 yr career as a personal trainer into a higher calling. Cindy redefined herself as a global ambassador for health and wealth when she retired at age 40 to solely focus on helping others with their health and fitness goals through the promotion and use of health solutions. Their quest as they move into this next phase of their lives, is to help and to guide others on how they too can retire earlier, healthier and wealthier in the evolved economy.

✨ The Power of AUM (OM) ✨

Have you ever wondered why OM is so often heard in meditation, yoga and sound practices?

OM is traditionally sounded as A-U-M (AUM) — a vibration that moves through the body as we slowly exhale.

Aaaah… Ooooh… Mmmm…

As you move through the sounds, you may notice the vibration shifting from the chest and throat toward the head and face. The long, slow exhale and gentle humming can help settle the body, quiet the mind and bring your awareness into the present moment.

In ancient yogic traditions, AUM is considered a sacred sound representing wholeness, consciousness and our connection to something greater than ourselves.

You don’t have to believe anything in particular to experience it.

Close your eyes. Take a comfortable breath in. Then slowly sound:

Aaaaaa… Uuuuuu… Mmmmmm…

Notice where you feel the vibration.

Sometimes healing begins with something as simple as slowing down, breathing deeply, and allowing ourselves to feel the vibration within. 💜

Grief changes more than our hearts. It can change the way our minds work, too. 💜

After losing Dylan, I experienced what many call “grief brain”—forgetting things, losing my train of thought, and sometimes struggling to find the simplest words.

One of the things I’ve learned through my own healing is that we don’t always need to think our way through everything. Sometimes our minds simply need a place to rest.

Meditation, nature, breathwork, sound and stillness have helped me find those moments of peace—and are a big part of why I created Cindy’s Kindred Spirits and the Sound Sanctuary.

Healing isn’t about forgetting the person we love. It’s about learning to carry that love differently. 💜

“My brain isn’t empty. It’s crowded with someone I miss.”

What is the deeper purpose behind Cindy’s Kindred Spirits?

Today I’ve been reflecting on the Japanese concept of Ikigai — our “reason for being.”

It made me think about why I created Cindy’s Kindred Spirits and why this work has become so meaningful to me.

For much of my life, I’ve been helping people in one form or another — as a medic, personal trainer, business owner, mentor and coach.

After losing my son Dylan, my understanding of what it means to help someone changed profoundly.

I began my own journey inward. Grief led me to meditation, spirituality, energy work, sound, nature, writing and a deeper relationship with myself.

And somewhere along the way, I realized I wanted to create the kinds of spaces that had helped me.

Spaces where we don’t have to perform.
Where we can slow down.
Breathe.
Feel.
Be still.
And reconnect with ourselves.

That’s really what Cindy’s Kindred Spirits is about.

Sound healing, meditation, Universal Healing and the other practices I share are simply different ways of creating that space.

I don’t believe I’m here to “fix” anyone. I believe there is tremendous value in giving people the time, space and support to reconnect with the wisdom, strength and peace that already exist within them.

When I look at the thread running through all the different chapters of my life, four words keep appearing:

HEAL • GROW • CONNECT • GIVE

Maybe that’s my Ikigai. ❤️

And maybe Cindy’s Kindred Spirits is simply the place where I get to live it.

With the Harvest Moon this past Saturday and the fall equinox just behind us, did you happen to set a new intention, goal, or habit to help move you forward? 🍂🌕

Sometimes a new season is a beautiful reminder that we can choose to begin again, shift direction, or simply become more intentional about where we’re putting our energy.

For me, one of my breakthroughs is in my business. I’ve realized that creating something I truly believe in is only part of it — I also need to become better at letting people know it exists!

So, I’m challenging myself to learn more about email and social media marketing so I can reach more people who may benefit from the Sound Sanctuary and the space I’ve created for rest, stillness and connection.

And yes… that means getting a little more comfortable promoting myself, too. 😊

I have spaces I would love to fill in this Sunday’s Sound Sanctuary, and instead of quietly hoping people find me, I’m learning to actually put myself out there and invite them. 💛

So I’ll ask you the same question I’m asking myself:

What breakthrough would you love to create in your life right now?

🥁 Take five minutes for yourself.

If you have the time, put on your headphones, close your eyes, take some slow, deep breaths, and simply listen to the rhythm of the drum.

The beat remains steady for most of this five-minute recording, giving you an opportunity to settle into the rhythm, quiet your mind, and just breathe.

Toward the end, I transition into a heartbeat rhythm, which can feel especially grounding. ❤️

If you don’t have five minutes right now, save this post and come back to it later when you have a few quiet moments. Or feel free to fast-forward toward the end to hear the heartbeat rhythm and the little message I share afterward.

There’s nothing you need to do while listening. Just close your eyes, breathe, and allow yourself a few minutes to be still. 🌿

I’d love to know how you feel afterward. If you listen, leave me a comment below. ❤️
