Ryan says he was drinking almost every day for 15 years and feared end-of-life regrets.

1. WAKE UP! with Joni centers on Ryan Stanley and sound healing, frequency, and intention. 2. Ryan Stanley is the guest, identified as a sound healer, yoga teacher, and founder of Sacred Sound of the Soul, while Joni hosts and frames the conversation for listeners in corporate leadership. 3. The episode asks what sound healing actually does for body, mind, and spirit, and whether it can help people find stillness, clarity, and realignment. 4. Ryan says he came from corporate work, took a sabbatical, and bought a local yoga studio near his home in Minnesota. 5. He describes training teachers in the yoga studio to do sound healing the way yoga teachers are trained. 6. Ryan says he noticed men in class becoming still when Tibetan bowls or sound bowls were played. 7. He contrasts that response with people who fidgeted at the start of yoga and then settled quickly once sound began. 8. Ryan tells a corporate-regret story that includes drinking almost every day for 15 years and not being able to shut down from work. 9. He says the 'Personal Mastery' program from 'Learning is Leadership' in Sausalito, California, helped him see his ego pattern and his need to be appreciated. 10. He says a nine-day seminar gave him the freedom to leave work and protect relationships with family and friends. 11. Ryan defines sound healing first as another relaxation modality that can engage restorative biology. 12. He names the parasympathetic nervous system, the vagus nerve, and the outer ear as part of the sound-healing explanation. 13. He also says sound healing can be understood as interaction with chakras, energy fields, or subtle body experience. 14. Ryan says the research on cells is not yet strong enough to prove every claim, but he believes the lived effect is real. 15. He says Tibetan bowls can lower heart rate and blood pressure, while crystal bowls can create creativity, euphoria, or a feeling of loving energy. 16. He describes sound as an aid for clarity, especially for people who feel overwhelmed by choices like stock trading. 17. Ryan and Joni compare in-person sound baths, binaural beats, and playing bowls yourself, and he says self-playing became his biggest breakthrough. 18. He says repetitive sequences and longer monotone sounds create safety and deep relaxation, while playful exploration helps people find their own 'bowlmate.' 19. People interested in yoga, corporate stress, sound baths, and restorative biology would likely get the most from this episode. 20. People wanting fast answers, rigid scientific proof, or no wellness language may skip it.
