Just as the angels of heaven sing in melodic and
lilting harmony, there are angels among us here on earth who use the language of music, singing our spirits into healing
on translucent angel wings. The lyrics and music of Sandi Kimmel is as inspiring as the first rays of light at dawn, as
joyful as the flutter of butterfly wings, as comforting as a warm cup of tea and as healing as the kindness and love of
a friend. As a music healer and chronicler of the inner journey, Ms. Kimmel has met her calling here on earth with
spiritual authenticity and wisdom. The healing power of her music is intended to make the struggles of life a little
easier to handle. Many chemotherapy patients, their families and medical staff have played her music during treatment.
TRANSITIONS, a collection of uplifting original songs about life’s most
defining moments and challenging transitions, is recognized and valued in many healthcare settings for its healing
properties, and has been distributed worldwide. MUSIC IN MY SOUL, is Ms.
Kimmel's second collection of original music as a sharing of love and joy in these complex times. Music Healer is Ms. Kimmel's website, which features her lyrics, music and

(Page 1)2. Sandi is, indeed, a healer and her music has helped both hospice patients and their families. I love her music and hope it will enrich the lives of many others as well.

3. I once heard Sandi Kimmel sing to a group bigger than 200 people -- yet I, as thought the others, remain convinced she sang just for me. I still heard her songs miles from where she sang them: the heart has its own memory system and remembers still deeper memories when the right trigger comes along. Sandi Kimmel's a trigger. According to plan, there are never too many triggers walking around at any one time, so when you (finally) hear one (like Sandi Kimmel), pop your ears and listen. A big smile comes to your face like a fat fish sipping the water's surface. And they both -- the big smile and the fat fish -- hang around a long time. Take my heart's word for it.

1. Dear Dalene,
Thank you so much for writing this piece.
I have traveled the country with Sandi — as she delivered keynotes and workshops to doctors, nurses, caregivers, volunteers and patients, seeing first- hand how instrumental she has been in the spiritual, emotional, and physical healing of thousands. I have also watched her at the bedside of hospice patients, singing and soothing them into the world beyond.
How wonderful that music is finally being recognized for it's healing properties.
