Is it wild to say that I've been to the Bird Hotel?

Now, you can, too...

"The hotel was like someplace you’d see in a fairy tale—magical, mysterious, and haunting.  Wherever I looked my eye landed on some extraordinary detail, no doubt Leila’s creation, or that of the workers of the village here:  not just stones transformed into monkeys and jaguars and eggs, but vines trained to form arbors dripping with flowers and gardens whose blooms resembled the imaginings of somebody’s wildest LSD trip and little man-made streams winding through the gardens, tumbling over smooth round stones—some of them green, in certain lights anyway, some almost blue.  There was a bench made from another stone built into a hillside, and chaise lounge that appeared to be made from a single tree trunk. A long narrow seat made from an old wooden fishing boat hung from a tree, piled with cushions under a tree with a half dozen different varieties of orchids sprouting from its trunk, and a wooden owl carved from a burl.

There was a grove of fruit trees bearing lemons, pomegranate, papaya, and tall, spear-like ginger plants with brilliant red blooms, and birds-of-paradise, and bougainvillea, and jasmine plants, and gardenia, and bella-de-noche, leaving a perfume in the air so potent you could be blindfolded and know where you must be standing in the garden just from the smell of the blooms in that spot. I had never seen anyplace so beautiful, or one offering greater evidence of love on the part of its creator."

An excerpt from The Bird Hotel, by New York Times bestselling author ⁠Joyce Maynard.

Woven into this track is a Solfeggio Frequency at 528 Hz.

I was first introduced to Music Therapy in 2007, though it wasn't until 10 years later, I learned about Solfeggio frequencies through my work with a music for mental wellness organization. I deeply believe in it, and it's more science than magic.

A 2018 study discovered that ⁠music tuned to the frequency of 528 Hz significantly reduced stress in the endocrine systems and autonomic nervous systems⁠—even after a mere five minutes of listening.
