Gong Sound Therapy: A Path to PTSD Healing

In Gentle Orbit is a sound podcast created for being held without being led.

These episodes offer ambient sound as a steady field rather than a journey. There is no guidance to follow, no rhythm to synchronize with, and no destination implied. You are free to listen closely, listen lightly, drift, sleep, or stop at any point.

Rooted in trauma-informed Sound Alchemy, In Gentle Orbit centers gravity instead of momentum. The sounds move slowly, if at all—designed to support nervous-system safety without asking the body to change. Silence and space are part of...

Rest Day / Integration

This episode is a rest day.

It is offered for the space that opens after sound, after effort, after staying longer than you meant to. Nothing here asks you to focus, follow, or remain. You are free to drift, pause, or stop at any time.

This episode includes the following songs:

Permission to Drift is a trauma-informed sound podcast created for rest, release, and leaving when you need to.

These episodes offer sound as presence, not instruction. There is no guidance to follow, no outcome to reach, and no expectation to stay. You are free to listen closely, listen lightly, drift in and out, or stop entirely. All of those choices are valid.

Created through Sound Alchemy, Permission to Drift centers consent, pacing, and nervous-system safety. The sounds are intentionally spacious—allowing silence, pauses, and unfinished moments to remain. Nothing here is designed to pu...

Jupiter Without Escape is a sound healing journey guided by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, inviting expansion that is grounded, embodied, and honest. Rather than using sound to float away from discomfort, this immersion works with the vast, benevolent energy of Jupiter to support growth that stays present with the body and the nervous system.

Jupiter is often associated with abundance, wisdom, and amplification. In this offering, its frequency does not bypass pain or overwhelm the listener with intensity. Instead, the gong and harmonic layers gently widen inner space while maintaining a sense of safety and containment...

Neptune’s Quiet Tide is a Neptune Gong Bath guided by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, offering a gentle descent into stillness, intuition, and the spaces beneath words. This immersion invites the listener to soften the edges of awareness and rest within the subtle rhythms of the inner ocean.

The Neptune Gong unfolds in slow, shimmering waves—tones that blur boundaries and dissolve the constant need to define or understand. Sound drifts like water through the body, moving around resistance rather than through it, allowing the nervous system to settle into a quieter stat...

Venus Knows the Way is a Venus Gong Bath guided by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, inviting the body into a remembrance of ease, beauty, and embodied trust. This immersion is not about striving toward harmony, but about allowing harmony to reveal itself—naturally, gently, and without force.

The Venus Gong moves in warm, enveloping waves, carrying tones that speak directly to the heart, the senses, and the subtle emotional body. Its resonance encourages softening where effort has lived, opening where protection has been necessary, and listening where the mind has tried to le...

Where the Body Is No Longer Rushed is a Chiron Gong Bath devoted to slowing what has lived too long in urgency. Guided by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, this immersion creates a space where the nervous system no longer needs to brace, perform, or arrive anywhere at all.

The Chiron Gong speaks in low, steady waves—tones that do not demand release, insight, or transformation. Instead, the sound listens. It meets the places shaped by old wounds, unspoken grief, and survival pacing, offering resonance rather than repair. Breath naturally deepens. Muscles soften wi...

Sacred Drift is a 35-minute ambient sound journey created by Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot, offering a spacious field of sound for rest, regulation, and gentle emotional settling. This experience invites you to drift without effort—allowing sound to support the nervous system naturally, without direction or demand.

The soundscape unfolds slowly, with subtle layers of tone and resonance designed to soften mental activity and create a sense of being held. There is nothing to visualize, release, or achieve. You are welcome to listen awake, resting, or drifting toward sleep.

This am...
