In this compelling episode, transformational teacher and author Rena Harvey joins us to explore why pain reveals the truth. We delve into self-mastery, soul contracts, childhood wounding, frequency, and the courageous work of reclaiming personal power. Drawing from her own lived experience, Rena shares how pain becomes initiation, how truth emerges through shock, and why mastery is not a moment—but a lifelong remembering. This conversation is raw, expansive, and intensely activating for anyone ready to rise beyond illusion and into embodied wisdom.

Hearts Rise Up is a

In this luminous return to the Hearts Rise Up podcast, sonic mystic and legendary space music composer Jonn Serrie invites us beyond the edges of music and into the sacred space where silence breathes, frequencies speak, and creativity plays like a child running free. What begins as a conversation unfolds as a cosmic remembering—a transmission on the soul of sound, the intelligence of texture, and the spiritual responsibility of the artist in an age of artificial intelligence.

In this episode, Jonn weaves stories of childhood dreams, planetary awakenings, and divine synchronicities—revealing how music is not created but received, not engineered but lived. This is more than an interview. It’s an initiation into the invisible forces that move through us when we dare to listen beyond the note, trust the muse's voice, and honor the stillness from which all sound is born.

38:55 "Keep that sense of play and creativity alive no matter what, because that’s what it is. You’re not learning how to be a technician of music. You’re learning that the music technique is built into this joyful moment that music is created."
