Healing Through Harmony: How Emily Thorner Uses Music to Raise Global Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to another heart-opening episode of Little Give. This week, I’m beyond excited to introduce you to a one-of-a-kind guest: Emily Thorner, an internationally trained opera singer turned transformational sound healer. Emily doesn’t just sing. She shifts frequencies, heals through vibration, and channels pure intention into sound to help people around the world reconnect with their true selves.
In this inspiring conversation, Emily shares her journey from the world of contemporary classical opera to discovering the profound healing power of combining voice with energy work. We talk about how intention, frequency, and inner healing can literally change how we feel on a cellular level.
She opens up about a pivotal moment at a crypto convention in Dubai that changed everything for her and the emotional reactions from complete strangers who experienced her voice as a tool for deep healing.
We also explore:
• How energy, frequency, and intention work together to shift emotions and perspective
• What makes her method different from traditional sound healing
• The role of music in unity, awareness, and raising global consciousness
• How anyone can begin their own journey of energetic alignment through simply listening
As always, we wrap up with two signature Little Give questions that spotlight the ripple effect of everyday kindness and the people who have quietly changed lives with small, meaningful gestures.
This is an episode about more than just music. It is about finding your voice, following your higher purpose, and using your gifts to light up the world.
Just listen. You will feel it.
