Sahffi Lynne Debuts Eclectic New Video for “Let the Healing Begin”
“Let the Healing Begin” speaks on the medicine of music. The song came to Saffhi while on a solo spiritual medicine retreat (called a “Dieta”) in Peru. “I often hear music in the wind, the trees, or the babbling of a stream, yet I’ve never had a song come through in this way. I woke up one morning with a voice telling me to get my pen and paper, I remember watching my hand as I was half asleep, it was writing on its own!” shares Sahffi. “Then I felt the strong sense to pick up my guitar, and as I read the words, the melody and chords just poured out of me. It was a message for me at this moment, I was quite lost in my life and this message filled me with such hope and love. I cried tears of gratitude and release! As I’ve shared the song, this song seems to speak to people in a powerful way, opening and connecting hearts in special and deep ways. Often people’s response is to cry! I am grateful to share the medicine of music!”

I’m excited for the world to have this one and can’t wait to release the rest of my new music.”
