Vibrations that ease pain and fuel imagination | Kim Spierenburg | TEDxAmsterdam 2014

www.tedxamsterdam.com
At the age of four, Kim Spierenburg was diagnosed with Pfeiffer’s disease and shortly thereafter was informed that she was suffering from lupus as well. These autoimmune diseases caused her to have painful inflammations in her joints, muscles and skin, leaving her in severe pain. As a child, she could not play outside as her legs would suddenly give out from under her. Often she couldn’t even stand because of the pain. Kim often felt that her body had abandoned her completely. This ordeal continued until she started playing the violin. The soothing vibrations of the instrument eased her pain and the sound fueled her imagination and made her happy. Her violin helped her cope with her illness and calm her troubled soul. Eventually she learned to stay positive even while she is in pain everyday.
Kim had two big dreams. The first is to connect the classical world with the electronic one. The other is to play in front of a live audience. She hopes to realize her second dream through making a song with a DJ. Her first dream is one that you all can be a part of through this KZbin clip.

The violin gave her the possibility to reach a higher state of feelings (higher vibration). Awake your inner fire my friends🔥 Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@NakedSnake1980]

This video makes me realize that the world is full of wonderful people, hidden, people that don’t need recognition from huge audiences (see the views), people that struggle with pain through their all life... these thoughts makes me feel much more grateful for what I have. Thank you so much for who you are, god bless you.

[@hafizkader1461]

Yes, there are people hidden in this planet with great pain and who are waiting for solution.

[@johnnyb357]

What a powerful young woman! Vibrations, music, willpower and living her dream is what we should all learn from this soul unifying experience!

[@richarddeacon9108]

music is life and without it, we would not be

[@energymed13]

As one who lives with constant pain, I thank you for a moment of beauty and of hope.

[@stevenbrown7852]

Most incredible you are.Wowe runaway emotions.I am praying Please God heal this woman's pain.Praise God.

[@LongNightsMoon]

I have never seen/ heard someone playing the violin and sing at the same time. Beautiful, and such a wonderful voice!

[@irenemax3574]

That didn’t work for my ears. She had to strain too much to accomplish both tasks.

[@kelleyeidem667]

@@irenemax3574 Yet what if we'd rather hear her out of tune than you on target? This was her first public performance and she was shaking. Her voice is sure to improve, as can your comments.

[@irenemax3574]

Kelley Eidem Yikes, thank you for pointing out that my comment needed improvement. I hadn’t realised that it sounded critical of this singer. I should have made it more general. I reckon that no musician can successfully accomplish simultaneously the tasks of playing a violin and singing (too much concentration required; e.g., compared to strumming a guitar that requires much less brain input). This singer has a lovely voice, and plays the violin beautifully. I salute her fortitude but not the performance.

[@theSpiritScribe]

This is what you call a prayer, loves. She could grace every church, every temple she wants. When I see her, Hozier comes to my mind: "All you have is your fire, and the place you need to reach." And she reaches EVERYONE. Bravo!

[@manuhernz4431]

I'm watching this in October 2019 and this is the first time I've seen a singing angel.

[@lamuir28]

Lol yeah she kinda is

[@redwhiteblue9866]

Young lady, that was so very inspiring. I just learned something from you, not in my head but in my heart. Thank you!

[@mervinhanawalt7747]

BEAUTIFUL - WHAT A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING!

[@dragdrag1507]

She's an Angel

[@Jane.Doe.]

That's what I just thought.... And this video has been up since 2014! Seriously are you kidding me with these very meager views? All I have to say is wow.. What a beautiful, emotional and raw piece of music. Performed by such a strong and joyous Spirit! I have goose bumps.. 💞💜🦋🌺 Many positive wishes to this girl

[@TamiPerez]

"Dare to live my dream" Courageous young lady

[@christopherrenaud2215]

i wish i had seen this when it was fresh and new. even today it brought me to a new level of appreciation. She is something wonderful and i hope all her dreams have continued to come true.

[@mrriley2686]

As soon as her bow approached her violin something said “get your headphones” trust your gut feeling. God bless her that was amazing and inspirational

[@23milkshake]

God bless you gorgeous. Keep raising your vibration and you will get well. Your cells/body/soul love your music and if you visualise yourself being well, it will happen. During meditation see yourself as well. Remember your soul is perfect. Believe and say yes to this. The vibration of the planet is raising. We needed Covid 19 for this to happen.

[@ivangohome]

Goosebumps indeed. I don't understand why I didnt see this TED before.

[@blackspace5342]

My cat and I are still mesmerized by you. I'm still humming your angelic tone your song was a soft, soaring solo "flight" of something elemental- in my mind's eye. I hope to find more of your songs after i post this. We Love youR High vibes and electric magnetism!

[@bertcoll6968]

A hug to the audience with your story and violin thank you

[@josephraymorgan]

Namaste My Sister of Source, Your very first note sent an arrow into my heart...hot tears Joyfully pouring with each pull of your bow. I am a man of vibration using the piano to ALLOW my wakening duality of my spirit within together with my suffering human body & scripted cultural mind. Your energy within your song has sent eternal waves of healing and will bring peace & harmony to those who hear it forever. Thank you for your gift to this world.

[@WVSCROUNGER]

AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL......THANK YOU KIM......GODSPEED !

[@lisengel2498]

Sounds are movements that colours the World touching and vibrating every heartstring, of the whole Universe- crying and rejoicing, and connecting you with the all - in a vibrational embrace that the heart immediately recognize - we become One - thank you for your besutifull talk and playing.

[@christopherrenaud2215]

OMG she brought my to tears right at the begining. such a beautiful and inspirational woman. i hope today (7 years later) that she is successful and her dreams are continuing to come true. next i am going to look for her and hope i find more of Kim and her future since this wonderful performance

[@lamuir28]

Her healing frequency is tied in to the violin. Other people might be the harpy or guitar, piano etc. Very interesting analysis. This type of treatment along with hemp stimulation of the mind with cannabinoids.

[@mariosun3849]

man you just described my life with my voice. I've been trying to sing for 10 years and i think i just found my healing frequency in my voice

[@DuyenLe-be6he]

Thank God for his beautiful masterpiece.

[@MaduraMantra]

Just found this clip, 5 years too late! I wish her all the best in her life. ❤

[@theresabuhler938]

Does anyone know what she's been up to lately?

[@jenniferarnold5421]

I am wondering if what is going on , is that the violin is mirroring her own vocal energy and "being way" ... and that the world she was living in , did not give her those sounds , why when she watched the TV program with the violin , she recognized her own self, even her hair color is as the body of the instrument . So then, by playing and singing , she is creating a system through which that energy can be brought into this dimension . She really is a prime number - lovely lovely angel child .

[@kimulm0619]

She sang and played so beautifully.She inspired me in so many ways.

[@maggieobrien5515]

I watch this video frequently. I get so much from it. Obviously inspiration, but when she talks, sings and plays, you feel her passion. I love her voice! Thank you! Wishing all a beautiful 2021❤️❤️❤️

[@tramer76]

Stunningly beautiful and so inspiring.

[@liaqatasadi7359]

i have a lot of love for this such an innocent lady.

[@gabygs6408]

Beautiful and inspirational and courageous.

[@TamiPerez]

Agree! What a lesson in courage

[@freakymadafaka]

Her song is so beautiful it made me cry

[@mAkAsh072]

I stil like to come back here every once in a while, and listen to her beautiful song and play. Erg mooi Kim!

[@E-Kat]

She performs such a difficult piece!! I shiver whilst listening to her!!

[@gregoryG540]

You have no idea how the song has touched me just now. It literally brought tears to my eyes as my skin was literally felt like it was on 🔥. You singing about being on fire while my skin was burning and just the tone of your voice in that key was beyond beautiful and I cannot thank you enough for that feeling. I made it, once again, and I'll stop saying never again and just accept the pain

[@sofiareid9902]

You are absolutely AMAZING!!! God Bless you❤🌹

[@44xxggaaj]

Such a talented and beautiful young girl ! She should look into grounding with the earth for her autoimmune problem and for pain resolution .

[@LadyLeda2]

An Angel from Heaven, surely.

[@pastorpresent1]

Breathtaking.

[@organvlnBach2Bach]

Plays and sings like an angel!

[@jetetarro]

Vibrations, frequency and energy. These are the things savant Nikola Tesla told us to focus on

[@nadiaturner7814]

That's it.

[@yyz2go2112]

Damn Straight!

[@howdyheidi7757]

Live your dream lady.. live long and prosper

[@simpleravenraven6358]

I am watching in November 19. Its not an angel, its the "ruach" the spirit hovering. We all have it if we wish.

[@louisafiander4984]

[@yogilad_om]

Sweet tears down my cheeks

[@1Antied77]

goosebumps and tears. thanks for sharing your light with us.

[@AniishAu]

Your smile brought me here, and your violin kept me breathless and tearful 'till the final vibration faded into the ether.

[@guitargirl7452]

Re: your Lupus diagnosis you should look up Dr Brooke Goldner M.D.. she has Lupus but managed to find a way to improve her symptoms enormously through diet. Well done for overcoming adversity through music. The power of music is indescribable. It lifts your soul to a higher place. You play beautifully. Bravo!

[@marjannevanderpal5918]

Ik had in oktober niet gedacht dat ik die dag zo een bijzondere ontmoeting zou hebben met een jonge violiste toen ik naar een gratis concert ging in het NRC restaurant. En nu blijkt ze ook nog over een prachtige stem te beschikken. Wat een toppertje!

[@yolandaesser9439]

Heel wonderlijk mooi.

[@FreedomOrNothin]

13,000 views?! People don't know what they're missing.

[@watcher6935]

FreedomOrNothin , you are so right! Energy and frequency is the answer to the universe. On the opposite spectrum the bad frequencies like wifi and cell phone radiation. Electricity keeps us from feeling the best we can. The violin and good frequencies can counter the toxic electricity soup we live in. That's what she's showing us.

[@BrendaShields]

Beautiful young lady. Yoyr message is awe inspiring as is your. Music. Good for stepping up to the challenge and sharing that angelic voice you have. I shared this on my Facebook as I deemed it worthy of sharing! God Bless You more and more!

[@yourstruthfully1]

What a lovely voice.

[@angelxx8443]

This is so beautiful and inspiring. Music is my medicine and I must indulge regularly else I would go mad.

[@nikolaimanek6629]

Amazing! What a great talent and encouragement.

[@fredngugi5886]

Amazing young lady!

[@livingfullyinchrist1168]

The violin is my favorite instrument so inspirational! Thank you for sharing your story!

[@edsoars]

Angelic voice and playing. Inspiring message. Namaste, Kim.

[@esterrios9743]

I almost missed this angel! I love the sound of the violin which it doesnt show...but vibration n pain caught my attention.

[@Disco170]

Fantastische artiest!

[@kathri1006]

She has a developed ability, to use a sensory modality, ie: vibration, sound to surpass the sensory perception of pain. This is a higher order ability, possibly coming through her Samaric practice in her journey. Keep it up. Best wishes.

[@seanwalker6894]

I'm glad you did it, happiness, love and passion heals. Play your heart out!

[@bogna8884]

good vibrations + frequency + heart + emotions !!!!! they are the most important ! you can heal everyone with them... just use the tuning forks :)

Just found you Kim. I'm so grateful for what you've shared with the world. Your story and your courage are both remarkable. You play the violin like the angel you are. Gorgeous tone and fluidity in your movements. I've played for years and have friends who play violin. You are as great as it gets. Bravo and thank you. F

[@satnamo]

Pain must be positive because it makes its own existence felt: Pain is the sound.

[@markdemell3717]

No more outcry ,no more pain.

[@scottfranson4215]

I love those good vibrations. God Bless You ,Blessed Child .I will pray You now Gods inner Fire in Jesus name.The new covenant.

[@bogna8884]
