Sounds True was founded in 1985 by Tami Simon with a clear mission: to disseminate spiritual wisdom. Since starting out as a project with one woman and her tape recorder, we have grown into a multimedia publishing company with more than 110 employees, a library of more than 3,000 titles featuring some of the leading teachers and visionaries of our time, and an ever-expanding family of beloved customers from across the world. In more than three decades of growth, change, and evolution, Sounds True has maintained its focus on its overriding purpose, as summed up in our Mission Statement.

You don’t need to become someone new to be whole.
You already are.
Basic goodness is not something we earn. It’s something we uncover, moment by moment, by simply being present with our experience, without judgment, without escape.
The more we stay with what is, the more access we have to the innate strength and wisdom that’s always been there.

It’s natural to tense up when pain or discomfort arises. Our body contracts, our mind resists, and we try to push it away.
But what if you could relate to pain differently, not as an enemy, but as a sensation to witness with compassion?
By softening instead of tightening, you create space. And in that space, something shifts. You’re no longer ruled by the discomfort, you’re in relationship with it. And from there, healing begins.

When you begin to access more of your Self energy—the calm, wise center beneath all the noise—you start to see with new eyes.
There’s clarity: This is what really matters.
And there’s connection: I am not separate from the whole.
As your inner world softens and realigns, your greater purpose often becomes clearer, not as something to chase, but something to remember.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’ll feel better when…” or "I'll do this when..."
When the job is done, when the relationship improves, when you finally get a break…
This quiet habit of postponing life robs us of the only moment we truly have: this one.
The invitation Eckhart offers is simple but radical: stop waiting. Come into presence. Let this moment be enough. Not perfect, but full of life.
Join us for Eckhart's new online retreat: Accelerating Our Awakening.

Real transformation changes who you understand yourself to be.
It shifts your entire framework: your beliefs, your view of the world, your place in it. Something that once felt impossible becomes your new reality, and you can't go back to seeing life the way you did before.
This kind of transformation is sacred. It asks everything of you and gives you everything in return.

Buddhist teachings remind us: everyone wants to be happy. The trouble is, we often try to avoid suffering at all costs instead of meeting it with kindness.
True freedom begins with awareness. A breath. A pause. The willingness to stay in the discomfort, even just for a moment.
Just one new way of responding, just one moment of choosing something different, can open the doorway to inner freedom and enlightenment.
Are you ready to step through?

Pain can be relentless. But it doesn’t have to be a life sentence of suffering.
There’s a quiet power in turning toward your experience, not to fix or fight it, but to shift your relationship with it. With consistent, compassionate somatic and mindfulness practices, the way you hold pain can begin to change. And when your relationship with pain changes, your life changes.
This work isn’t easy. But it’s possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Your brain doesn’t know the difference between dreaming and doing.
That means when you practice something in a lucid dream, whether it’s a dance move, a speech, or a moment of courage, your mind responds as though it’s really happening. You’re literally rewiring your brain as you sleep.
The dream world becomes a safe and powerful training ground, one where transformation is not only possible, it’s accelerated.

What if you could resolve a conflict with someone, not in waking life, but in your dreams?
Lucid dreaming gives you the ability to consciously meet people, replay conversations, and explore healing through imagination. Your mind doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s dreamt, which means these inner dialogues can have real emotional impact.
You might find that what couldn’t be said in the light of day finds expression in the quiet of the night. Lucid dreaming opens the door for deep reconciliation, from the inside out.

There’s something within you that cannot be broken. It doesn’t need fixing. It doesn’t need to be earned.
In Internal Family Systems, this is called the Self. It's your essence, and it's calm, curious, compassionate, and wise. When your inner parts (those voices of fear, anger, shame, and protection) begin to soften, this Self comes forward naturally. It’s already there within you, just beneath the surface.
From this place, healing unfolds, not just within yourself, but in your relationships and the world around you.
