More Info:

Mindy Benowitz, Ph.D., is a Minneapolis psychologist who created Watering the Heart Root--a multi-media project exploring the intersections of music, mindfulness, and personal growth. Her collection of songs, chants, and workshops blends the wisdom from 35 years of psychotherapy practice, and a lifelong personal healing journey, to share a powerful set of tools for emotional and spiritual well-being, resonating with the human quest for love, connection, social justice and self-discovery. The “Emotional Well-Being” album draws us in with gentle melodies, compelling rhythms, and empowering affirmations, weaving comfort and inner freedom into our daily lives. Mindy created the “Spiritual Well-Being” songs to deepen her own spiritual connection and personal healing. This album grounds us in Universal energies of love, wisdom, and guidance--that are available within, around, and to each of us, and can resonate whether you identify as “spiritual but not religious” or you are rooted in a religion you like.

Both albums are now available! Download or CD on website, on Bandcamp, or stream on all streaming sites.

Watering the Heart Root of Emotional Well-Being: Empowering, uplifting, soothing songs & chants to deepen self-compassion, joy, gratitude, creativity, loving our bodies, and being fully present!

Watering the Heart Root of Spiritual Well-Being grounds us in Universal energies of love, wisdom, and guidance--that are available within, around, and to each of us. For people who identify as “spiritual but not religious” and for those who are rooted in a religion they like.
