Thank you for sharing “you” with us. It’s a beautiful thing to see a genuine soul share vulnerabilities in the hopes of helping others. I believe you are doing just that, “helping others” and I commend you for it! Please keep shining your beautiful soul to the world!
Universe delightfully guided me here. I'm grateful. Didn't realize how hard I fell on the spectrum until later in life. Your words resonate beautifully. Keep shining 🥰
Dear Melinda, "please don't expect too much" you said "it's just a little piano song!" And this little song touches me in the depths of my soul. I sit here and cry with gratitude. It feels as if Mother Earth is caressing the dark spots in my soul and showing me that they also belong to me! You have such an indescribably beautiful aura for me! Like the good old willow in the movie "Pocahontas"! With a deep connection to the earth. And I do believe that you feel emotions, perhaps more than anyone else - I just think it's not the superficial emotions, but the deeper emotions of the soul beneath the surface! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having the courage to make this video and share it with us. It was new to me that autism also exists on an additive level. For years I have been looking to understand my child's gift and I always instinctively had the feeling that it had something to do with his ears! Maybe you just showed me a new path! Thank you for being! Please continue to live your perfect imperfection! She is so wonderful! ❤️ Greetings, Ann Christine
Melinda, You are cordially invited to our home. There's a piano waiting. And there is a guitar resting here like a gentle friend. The coffee is divine. And the hot water is on, for the tea. At the top of the hill, there's the mountain. This morning, there was a rainbow resting like a canopy of grace. And the end of it touched down in front of the tree in the back yard. Grace upon grace. Your soul rests here...and the light of your compassion is embraced and cherished. Stacy.
Thank you so much for opening your heart and compassion for all to see. You play the piano beautifully. You are a beautiful soul. You are welcome to come to Melbourne, Australia, and stay amongst the gum trees.❤
So secure, warm, beautifully, lovingly, and gracefully said. Thank you so very much for extending your home to such a beautiful and radiant soul. Your soul is a lighthouse and anchor just as hers is. You're both a blessing to humanity. I thank the two of you from the depths of my heart. May your lives be blessed abundantly. ❤🕊🙌
You speak to me on a level I've never experienced before. You Are LOVE, an Earth Angel, gifted and Lovely and Pure. You can come to our house. God Bless You on your journey Dear Soul.
I am a woman in my e. 30s and I have felt very different than anyone else my entire life, and my empathy and sensitivity makes things hard for me at times. I see things in different ways, i see music as colours and auras floating in the air. Your piano piece left me speechless because it sounds like the language of my soul. It is as if you brought me a "home", And your little intro note about finding true and kind love gave me hope too. Very grateful to you
You truly are an outworldly, beautiful soul! If you go visit Jonna in the north of Sweden, feel free to stop by in Malmö in the south as well. 30 minutes by train to Copenhagen... I have a 20 year-old daughter who is autistic and NEEDS people like you. She loves music and is so compassionate, but she has trouble with relating to other people and society. But when she saw your video she said: "WOW. JUST WOW." So keep on sharing, it means a lot!
Was für ein Licht! Sie ist voller Licht und Wärme und hat ein großes Herz, so groß wie Muttererde! Wahnsinn, was sie allein mit ihrer Anwesenheit bewirkt.
Melinda .... You are sheer magic, my dear, shining you rays of love and light into the hearts of each and every one of us. We love you.❤ Your piano truely touched my heart. Yes, it takes great strength, persistence, and honesty just to live life, and you do it all so well. And sometimes tears are the way love and compassion flow out into our world, where they are sorely needed. Thank you for being you.
Omg! Such talent, passion and kindness. How lucky are we to get to listen to a loving soul gracing us with such kind words and talents. The piano peace was simply beautiful. Thanks for your WONDERFUL ENERGY! KEEP ON KEEPING ON, LIVING LIFE TO YOUR FULLEST! ❤
I was charmed with you before, and now I learn of autism. Lady you are precious and adorable. Thank you for allowing us to know the side of autism. It all helps for us to understand. May your dream come true.
Thank you for sharing your beauty and your precious soul with me. I’m 62 yo woman who was a pro guitar player back in the 80’s-90’s then I just stopped. 4 years ago I revived my passion for playing and am playing better than ever ( I play lots of Led Zeppelin/Aerosmith etc) and am considering doing my own you tube channel teaching guitar. Seeing you put yourself out to share your gift has inspired me to totally go for it now… thank you! I love your playing…it moves me so much.❤️🎸🌺🌞
I stumbled upon your video this morning and was captivated by your softness, and soul, and pure positive love. A complete sense of peace is what your energy feels like to me. As someone else mentioned, I would love to walk and talk with you. Feel like it would go on for hours and time would fly. I also loved the piece you played 💕 Thank you for being you and sharing 🥰
Oh Melinda, your quiet manor sings to me. As I sat and listened to you i became mesmerized by your presence. Your music was hauntingly beautiful and put me in a joyful place. I’m so glad you sent that video clip to Jonna because that brought you to all of us seekers of love and kindness. I hope you travel to San Jose California. I would love to sit and talk with you. I love you too!
Дорогая Мелинда! Такую чудесную музыку может сочинять только человек с прекрасной душой и добрым сердцем! Очень люблю музыку, но не представляю, как ее сочиняют. Это для меня настоящее чудо! А музыканты - волшебники! Благодарю Вас!
Hi Melinda! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and beautiful music :)) I am autistic as well, late diagnosed as I am 31 and I am still learning to manage myself properly with all the different situations, stimulations and everything... I feel like we would be good friends, your energy is so calming and kind and lovely and pure :) as an autistic we feel other people's energy so sensitively, I think. yesterday I started an animal reiki meditation program, every day I need to meditate for 8minutes and I listened to your piano music when I meditated. It was absolutely wonderful, I could have listened to it for hours (even though I always have a hard time meditating). My dogs fell asleep as well and that is always a good sign to qualify music :) thank you for the wonderful experience and I will definitely be back for my meditations each day! hugs from Hungary
Omg! You said don’t expect much - I thought you were gonna play Mary had a little lamb or something simple! Holy crap! That was beautiful! You are amazing! I cried! You are so talented!! Do not doubt yourself! I feel so blessed to have found your channel. You are such an inspiration!🥰❤️✨💫✨🙏🙏🙏
Dear Melinda, i'm laying in my bed in germany near Bremen, it's 2:30 in the morning and since longer time i,m thinking sadly about my live as it is now and all that i have been through. My name is Katja, i'm 60 and it is pure coincidence that i just discovered your videos and heard you whith your guitar and piano...and your kind and wise words. You brightened up my night - thank you so much for that! You reminded me that i taught myself a little guitar 40 years ago and now i think that i have to find a kindly teacher and learn and play and sing again. Thank you so much for your inspiration. All the best and love for you ❤
You are so so beautiful sister friend and is such a a pleasure and a treasure of watching and listening to you beautiful inside and out you are ..my love and prayers always sister friend 💝🙏🏼💞 X 3 (father creator son holy Spirit one always)
Thank you for talking about your autism. My grandson is autistic and is struggling right now. He is very musical and loves it when I play certain Tibetan bowls for him. I think music will be a big part of his future too. I’m not autistic, but I am a highly sensitive person and empath which makes me very different and easily overwhelmed by loud noises and everything extreme. Gorgeous piano playing. I love playing piano too. 🙏🏻❤️
When I watched this video a week ago (the comments were disabled so I am commenting now), I really was in a dark place. I have struggled a lot the weeks beforehand and it really felt like there was no hope in life. I am a 20 year old German, studying in the South of Sweden, and for the last year I did a lot of research on autism, as I suspect I might have it, but I don't know where to go to get diagnosed. And then that day, when you released your video, all bad feelings had accumulated so much, it felt too much to bear. But then I saw this video, and something said in me I have to watch it now. I have seen one or two videos from you beforehand after Jonna recommended your channel. And it was the best decision I could have made. When you mentioned that you had autism as well, I broke out into tears and I cried like a baby until the end of the video. It felt like the warmest hug, and you were like a grandma to me that I never had, that said: "Everything will be alright. I am with you." This video literally saved me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for your beautiful music and your kind words. You are a beautiful human being and you reminded me that life is worth living ❤️
Please don’t give up, the world needs your light. There are more of us that are “different” out here in the world than aren’t. Some of us just have a very hard time fitting in and being “normal”. Perhaps it’s time we stop trying to be someone else’s idea of normal and let ourselves just be our silliness. I’m sending you love and light. Hold on, your people are out here, waiting to find you and each other.
You are not alone! You are seen, you are heard, you are important. If you wish to explore the diagnosis see a medical or psychological professional and just ask. There should be help, guidance or answers to lead your path to healing. NEVER think you're not worth it!!! You're young and have a long life ahead of you that will amaze, disappoint and overwhelm you at times. Those are just moments in a lifetime. They will fade and you will smile again. You are not alone ❤
It's true...we have to give it our best shot. It seems if we overcome the challenge..sometimes in creative and funny ways...there's a treasure under every responsibility fulfilled. And..I believe tears are how we water the garden of our souls..I say don't give up...the answer is often where you least expect it. I love you.💜🎶
My wonderful daughter is 23 years old and live in Gemany. She was diagnosted as an "Asperger Autism", when she was 14, while she was very injured of mobbing and depressed. The diagnose helped her so much to love and accept herself in the way she is (her special way of feeling, smelling, tasting, speaking-in a different way like others-louder and special- her special Interests;...). And also the teachers better protected and supported her since this diagnose. I am 60 years and loved her in the way she is since her birth. I always tried to find alternatives, so that she was'nt so stressed and not feeling so bad (she has had problems with small talk and finding friends in kindergarden/school; with cutting hairs or nails, eating something that she hate, like green food; wearing clothes, that burns on her skin, loud noises, bad smells like cheese, and tastes of vegetables (this was diffucult for me as a mom, who wants to feed her child healthy), ... It was'nt easy for both of us (naturally especially for her), but we never give up, to fight for better conditions, for human rights and fair treating of disable people. It was a long way and there are still difficult situations. But also good moments and little positive highlights. So, please don't give up. Believe in you and the power of good things and love in the world. Life can be so beautiful, although when it is somtimes or often hard. Be blessed and loved❤
I just came upon your channel yesterday and you captivated me. I am 66 and have always been a rebel/weirdo …. And still am. However, this has me struggling “to belong”. True duality. I wasn’t drawn here by accident…. You are a twin flame to so many. Your soul touches us. And we are, in turn, eternally grateful. Namaste’, sweet being♥️🙏🌻🌻🌻🌻
I wish I could find words as beautiful as you are, Melinda. I am moved by the simple beauty that you share in your multi-talented ways. Thanks and love, from the bottom of my heart. 💕
🙏 Namaste...such a beautiful way to acknowledge our Oneness & Unity with each other. Yes, Melinda's gentle spirit touches & I think will have an sweet effect on all who have the opportunity to celebrate the gentle side of life that Melinda exudes so easily. We all have our life "mission" embedded in our souls, sometimes it flows out & touches others to be easily activated & in turn touch the world without even trying...like this beautiful being...Melinda Coombes! Namaste to you, her & everyone! ✌🏿🐻🎶🫂🎵😊
If the world consisted only of wonderful people like you and Joanna, we would live in a perfect world without hate, war and suffering. How wonderful that you exist! I love listening to your words and your calming voice. By the way, you play the piano sensationally. Thank you very much!
What you said about autism and how you experience the world as everything is connected is actually a universal truth. Not only are we all connected to each other but we are all connected to nature, the stars, planets, and the entire universe 💖 Thanks for sharing your beautiful music and your kind heart. 🥰
Melinda, I just came upon your channel. I wanted to let you know that I am a 65 year old wife and mother on the Autism Spectrum who plays 12 string guitar. I live on a 7 acre homestead in deep south Mississippi. I have lived a pretty much isolated life most of my life. I didn't understand my austim until I was about 54 years old after a life crisis (yet another one). Since then, I have embraced my autism and it is such a relief. I just don't fit as I also am like you in that I see the world differently. I also have sensory processing disorder. My dad abused me all my life into my adult life until I said, "Stop!" and meant it. It's difficult to live in a world around me that is focused on luxury and fine living. I don't live that way at all but the Lord has me serving in a church as music minister to wealthy folks. I am learning to play mandolin, mountain dulcimer, and I really want to learn banjo. I play only a little bit of piano. My husband and son are both on the Autism Spectrum as is my daughter in law. Isn't that amazing? It seems that folks like us seem to draw to folks like us. We all mostly like the same things as sing and play music together and work together on our family business and we homestead together. My daughter in law teaches - it's hard on her because of her autism and not being able to maintain any kind of control in the classroom. She lives with headaches. Oh, and I have long grey hair too! LOL! My husband loves my long, grey hair. I sincerely love the simple life. I wish I could make it simpler. Working gets harder as I get older because I want to spend my time doing creative things. Thank you for being brave in sharing your life. You are an inspiration and a confirmation to me that it's okay to be me growing older and that there's beauty in it. Yes, in my heart and mind, I feel 30 something even though my body doesn't agree. I really enjoy your music. I am also a songwriter. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and being inspired!
I enjoyed reading your comment. You sound very interesting as well. I am taking all this in. I am also on the spectrum, I am sure, but never really diagnosed. I am also a song writer with hopes that I would be able to share my songs somehow. But I have been very shy and reclusive most of my life, and now, being 70 years old, I feel maybe time is running out. Anyway, you two ladies are both beautiful inspirations. Thank you.
You are such an inspiration too. I'm probably on the spectrum, as I've always seen things differently. There is so much beauty in living on a homestead or ranch close to nature. My parents and I lived for years and farmed, wrote and talked about so much on our little family homestead here in the Sandhills of Nebraska. I live in a little house just west of town now, but it's beautiful out here, and I know the feeling of being young at heart even though my body doesn't agree! 😊❤
Thank you, Melinda, for being in this world. I stumbled across your channel while I was just scrolling through UA-cam. I clicked on a video of you with your guitar out in the hills. I clicked on it because I thought, "Wow, look at this badass lady!". Then I kept clicking on your videos, and it brought me to this one. You are so inspiring. What you said about younger you and a hool resonated so much. What you said about how you feel when you are yelled at is so familiar. I'm 58 and just beginning to realize I may be autistic. You make me feel not so alone. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video ❤️
Beautiful Soul - enjoy your visits that are kind and loving to us. You can cry, I might cry. Many may cry: we do because we can’t process many things that hurt. I love your music, love you. It is hard, it is sad, many things but we can help each other love each other. Yes, great compassion. Love little things. Makes my heart feel glad. Thank you so much. Bless you. You are awesome. ✝️♥️✝️❌⭕️☮️
Melinda, you are a beautiful, genuine soul! Thank you! 💕 Besides your beautiful singing, talented music, ahd loving message, I see you helping autistic children and adults alike! I subscribed and liked your channel to support your Message of Love! 🙏❤
I Love you and Thank you too! I thank the Universe for bringing me to you. I just turned 70 and have been living on my own for the past 14 years by choice and have become isolated with my 3 cats, due to such a chaotic and stressful life.I do continue to work caring for an elder 3 dats a week, but the rest of the time I enjoy my own company and feel at peace. I connect so much with your wisdom and love you dearly
Thank you. I can only bow in your presence. I hope you enjoy every moment of your life and every moment when you express yourself and your emotions through your music and through your voice. Thank you for being so kind to show yourself to us. I now know that here is hope even when it cannot be seen in the moment.
This is so beautiful piano song Melinda. I can imagine this song together with Jonna's voice.....and I love the way you are. Authentic, pure and simple. Peace, wisdom, talent and love is coming from you. Jonna had right about you. You are such a wonderful soul. ❤
While listening to this I was so moved, I saw visions of faraway lands, beautiful castles, lush and cascading fields of green, waterfalls and mountains. A fantastical fantasy scene ❤
So very moving... you blessed my day! Please share more... I'm interested in your creativity and looking forward to seeing you paint. I tried a bit of watercolor painting for 18 months and then have stopped for 18 months! My heart will tell me when it's time. My health played a part... and as you know it can hinder you in different ways. You've shared your heart... many are delighted to share the same... soul to soul... God bless your journey... thank you for being open and loving ❤️ Til next time - keep on keeping on! With love and prayers, a California Gramma ❤
I expected a little, but you gave me music my soul is so deeply touched and addicted to. Thank you so much. And you didn't speak to much, because what you say is truly beautiful.
I love how you express yourself through music. Thanks for sharing your talent. And thank you for sharing your story. Remember everyone is different. 🙏🇺🇸👍
Dearest Melinda You have pierced my heart with your compassion and pure love. I have been tracing medicine ways for Fourty years and I hold a weekly online women’s council which is a heart centred place to gather. There is no charge for this but women can make donations. I am a grandmother, a therapist and have been a political activist. Your work so resonates with me, I work with wilderness therapy and our deep connection with nature. Thank you for being in the world and doing such heart centred work. I Love You Sister. Xx💞💞
Your song is exquisite, no small thing. Thanks for your genuineness, honesty, and willingness to embrace your challenges. You are win-win and inspiring many! I'd love to meet you someday too. God bless and keep you.
Thank you for the beautiful piano most of all thank you for letting people be aware of the sensitivity of autism I've lived we have high functioning autism all these years and just barely found out that was a diagnosed for me very sensitive to other people's emotions when they're angry I shut down never knew why I was always quiet never stepped forward or do anything about it but now I'm working with knowing how to deal with that thank you so much for being on UA-cam❤❤💯👃
Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I love your channel, I love your music, and I love your story. I can relate to all of it. So, keep on, my sister! 😀
Gosh!!! You got me crying now! You told us to not expect a great sound, but a little bit one... I just heard the three first cords and my soul got as watter! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE YOUR SIMPLICITY....IN YOUR MUSIC..!..IM NEARLY 65....ALWAYS LISTEN TO ROCK-HARD ROCK-PROG- JAZZ ROCK HEAVY METAL....and not only....my ears are very OPEN IN MANY KIND OF MUSIC......yours... give me peace in mind..!THANK YOU....we need more😌😊
Just found your channel today, I was shocked to see that you havent been on youtube longer. You have an incredible way of playing and speaking that I hope to hear more of
You're video playing guitar in the mountains showed up in my suggested content. I was captivated from the beginning to the end. So when I saw this, I had to watch. I began playing piano when I was 3. It is my first love. I don't know if I'm on the spectrum, although I've often wondered. So happy you found a kind soul who appreciates the amazing soul you are! Sending you lots of love and thanks for sharing you with us ✨💞 Many blessings to you and yours
How can just listening to someone be so therapeutic. Ms. Coombs every time I listen to you my soul is cleansed , my heart is opened and I feel at peace . Thank you. ❤
I felt that! The moment you start playing the piano made my soul sing. It made me cry as well, going through a grieve proces and all does that. I hope you get to travel the world. Looking forward to all the things that you will share with us. You make it much easier to picture my own inner wise woman. ❤ ❤
Wow, Melinda. You are amazing. ❤ You are such a kind and compassionate soul. How blessed we are to hear you each time you come on here. I was so surprised by your piano playing. Wow!!! It was so very beautiful. I always look forward to hearing you and what you say and listening to you sing and play your instruments. So very blessed. 😇 ❤
What a beautiful soul you are. Your music came straight in and moved me. That interruption with your smile was also so beautiful. Thank you for your inspired gift!
Soul revealed to me Melinda today...your piano melody is hauntingly joyous. For me it spoke of your willingness to bear your melancholy and your joy. Beautiful Beautiful !!Thank you!! Brent in northwest Arkansas💖
Dear Melinda. I am a new fan of yours. I watch your videos and I just get such a warm cozy feeling listening to you. Your voice and words are so comforting.
Hello Melinda. As an age acqu iring soul myself, I have to say your presents here has lightened the hearts of many. God has blessed you in so many ways. Thank you for your truth and beautiful music.🕊️🕊️🕊️
In a world full of hurtful sounds, I hear love, hope and beauty in every note, in every chord, in every pause. And I love your calming voice. Never stop. Thank you.
What a wonderful start on my sunday you gave me. Thank you beautiful Melinda. I loved your piano music. It gave me "visions" as if I was an autumn leaf carried on a stream... and later in that piece you played, as a feather carried by the wind high above the tree tops, viewing the Mountains... Beautiful piece you played. Thank you ❤ - Please do come to Sweden 🙏. Thank you for just being you - lots of love from 🇸🇪. Wish you the best🙏
First time viewer and new subscriber from Indiana. That was piano playing. I just sat back, closed my eyes and listened to an angel play God’s gift of music. Thank you for the talk and opening my eyes inside the world of autism. We all have battles we deal with daily, some are easy and others more difficult. But through God he can make these things easier for us to go through because we know we aren’t alone. God bless you and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos! ❤🌼🎹
Thank you for sharing “you” with us. It’s a beautiful thing to see a genuine soul share vulnerabilities in the hopes of helping others. I believe you are doing just that, “helping others” and I commend you for it! Please keep shining your beautiful soul to the world!

Universe delightfully guided me here. I'm grateful. Didn't realize how hard I fell on the spectrum until later in life. Your words resonate beautifully. Keep shining 🥰
Dear Melinda,
"please don't expect too much" you said "it's just a little piano song!" And this little song touches me in the depths of my soul. I sit here and cry with gratitude. It feels as if Mother Earth is caressing the dark spots in my soul and showing me that they also belong to me! You have such an indescribably beautiful aura for me! Like the good old willow in the movie "Pocahontas"! With a deep connection to the earth. And I do believe that you feel emotions, perhaps more than anyone else - I just think it's not the superficial emotions, but the deeper emotions of the soul beneath the surface!

You have a very rare way of connecting directly to the Heart. I loved that piece.🙏🏽
what a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN..AND SWEET. THE MOST HIGH BLESS YOU
Melinda,
You are cordially invited to our home. There's a piano waiting. And there is a guitar resting here like a gentle friend. The coffee is divine. And the hot water is on, for the tea.
At the top of the hill, there's the mountain. This morning, there was a rainbow resting like a canopy of grace. And the end of it touched down in front of the tree in the back yard. Grace upon grace. Your soul rests here...and the light of your compassion is embraced and cherished. Stacy.
JESUS Loves You!!!!!!!!!!
JESUS Loves Yall!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for opening your heart and compassion for all to see. You play the piano beautifully. You are a beautiful soul.

I'm staring at the mountain holding my cat and listening. It's beautiful!
Für Lisa Schmidt, geht mir genauso 😢

Дорогая Мелинда! Такую чудесную музыку может сочинять только человек с прекрасной душой и добрым сердцем! Очень люблю музыку, но не представляю, как ее сочиняют. Это для меня настоящее чудо! А музыканты - волшебники! Благодарю Вас!
Hi Melinda! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and beautiful music :)) I am autistic as well, late diagnosed as I am 31 and I am still learning to manage myself properly with all the different situations, stimulations and everything... I feel like we would be good friends, your energy is so calming and kind and lovely and pure :) as an autistic we feel other people's energy so sensitively, I think.
yesterday I started an animal reiki meditation program, every day I need to meditate for 8minutes and I listened to your piano music when I meditated. It was absolutely wonderful, I could have listened to it for hours (even though I always have a hard time meditating). My dogs fell asleep as well and that is always a good sign to qualify music :) thank you for the wonderful experience and I will definitely be back for my meditations each day! hugs from Hungary
When my dog Twoie was alive she would come and lay by my feet till I was done...once I caught my horse by the window listening. Such wonderful souls.
Ps...so are you💜🎶
Your beautiful 5min piano playing transcends any + all words spoken. Loved listening to your playing.
Omg! You said don’t expect much - I thought you were gonna play Mary had a little lamb or something simple! Holy crap! That was beautiful! You are amazing! I cried! You are so talented!! Do not doubt yourself! I feel so blessed to have found your channel. You are such an inspiration!🥰❤️✨💫✨🙏🙏🙏
"Mary Had a Little Lamb."!!!😂😂😂😂isn't her piano playing wonderful?! ❤
She has an energy that touches us all, doesn't she!! A peace just comes over me when I watch her videos❤❤❤
I have listened to it 4x now in a row. I wish I could listen to your music on a loop. So calming and beautiful 🙏
Enchanting and melancholy! Out of this world. BRAVO!!!
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much!!!!!!!
Dear Melinda, i'm laying in my bed in germany near Bremen, it's 2:30 in the morning and since longer time i,m thinking sadly about my live as it is now and all that i have been through. My name is Katja, i'm 60 and it is pure coincidence that i just discovered your videos and heard you whith your guitar and piano...and your kind and wise words. You brightened up my night - thank you so much for that! You reminded me that i taught myself a little guitar 40 years ago and now i think that i have to find a kindly teacher and learn and play and sing again. Thank you so much for your inspiration. All the best and love for you ❤
Blessings on your journey 💚
❤

@eckhardlange9777danke lieber eckhard🌱
Melinda, what a Beautiful Soul you are!!!
Thank you for talking about your autism. My grandson is autistic and is struggling right now. He is very musical and loves it when I play certain Tibetan bowls for him. I think music will be a big part of his future too. I’m not autistic, but I am a highly sensitive person and empath which makes me very different and easily overwhelmed by loud noises and everything extreme. Gorgeous piano playing. I love playing piano too. 🙏🏻❤️
When I watched this video a week ago (the comments were disabled so I am commenting now), I really was in a dark place. I have struggled a lot the weeks beforehand and it really felt like there was no hope in life. I am a 20 year old German, studying in the South of Sweden, and for the last year I did a lot of research on autism, as I suspect I might have it, but I don't know where to go to get diagnosed. And then that day, when you released your video, all bad feelings had accumulated so much, it felt too much to bear. But then I saw this video, and something said in me I have to watch it now. I have seen one or two videos from you beforehand after Jonna recommended your channel. And it was the best decision I could have made. When you mentioned that you had autism as well, I broke out into tears and I cried like a baby until the end of the video. It felt like the warmest hug, and you were like a grandma to me that I never had, that said: "Everything will be alright. I am with you."
This video literally saved me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for your beautiful music and your kind words. You are a beautiful human being and you reminded me that life is worth living ❤️
Please don’t give up, the world needs your light. There are more of us that are “different” out here in the world than aren’t. Some of us just have a very hard time fitting in and being “normal”. Perhaps it’s time we stop trying to be someone else’s idea of normal and let ourselves just be our silliness.
I’m sending you love and light.
Hold on, your people are out here, waiting to find you and each other.
You are not alone! You are seen, you are heard, you are important.
If you wish to explore the diagnosis see a medical or psychological professional and just ask. There should be help, guidance or answers to lead your path to healing.
NEVER think you're not worth it!!! You're young and have a long life ahead of you that will amaze, disappoint and overwhelm you at times. Those are just moments in a lifetime. They will fade and you will smile again.
You are not alone ❤
It's true...we have to give it our best shot. It seems if we overcome the challenge..sometimes in creative and funny ways...there's a treasure under every responsibility fulfilled. And..I believe tears are how we water the garden of our souls..I say don't give up...the answer is often where you least expect it. I love you.💜🎶
My wonderful daughter is 23 years old and live in Gemany. She was diagnosted as an "Asperger Autism", when she was 14, while she was very injured of mobbing and depressed.
The diagnose helped her so much to love and accept herself in the way she is (her special way of feeling, smelling, tasting, speaking-in a different way like others-louder and special- her special Interests;...).
And also the teachers better protected and supported her since this diagnose.
I am 60 years and loved her in the way she is since her birth. I always tried to find alternatives, so that she was'nt so stressed and not feeling so bad (she has had problems with small talk and finding friends in kindergarden/school; with cutting hairs or nails, eating something that she hate, like green food; wearing clothes, that burns on her skin, loud noises, bad smells like cheese, and tastes of vegetables (this was diffucult for me as a mom, who wants to feed her child healthy), ...
It was'nt easy for both of us (naturally especially for her), but we never give up, to fight for better conditions, for human rights and fair treating of disable people.
It was a long way and there are still difficult situations. But also good moments and little positive highlights.
So, please don't give up. Believe in you and the power of good things and love in the world.
Life can be so beautiful, although when it is somtimes or often hard.
Be blessed and loved❤
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL PIANO MUSIC. YOU ARE A BRIGHT SPIRIT VERY BEAUTIFUL
I just came upon your channel yesterday and you captivated me. I am 66 and have always been a rebel/weirdo …. And still am. However, this has me struggling “to belong”. True duality. I wasn’t drawn here by accident…. You are a twin flame to so many. Your soul touches us. And we are, in turn, eternally grateful. Namaste’, sweet being♥️🙏🌻🌻🌻🌻
I wish I could find words as beautiful as you are, Melinda. I am moved by the simple beauty that you share in your multi-talented ways. Thanks and love, from the bottom of my heart. 💕
🙏 Namaste...such a beautiful way to acknowledge our Oneness & Unity with each other. Yes, Melinda's gentle spirit touches & I think will have an sweet effect on all who have the opportunity to celebrate the gentle side of life that Melinda exudes so easily. We all have our life "mission" embedded in our souls, sometimes it flows out & touches others to be easily activated & in turn touch the world without even trying...like this beautiful being...Melinda Coombes! Namaste to you, her & everyone! ✌🏿🐻🎶🫂🎵😊
Your soft spokeness says alot & just listening to you is comforting. Your music is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing! You have so much to give.❤
Reply ❤
You have such a gentle and kind nature about you. I love your videos and can’t wait for more. Thank you!
If the world consisted only of wonderful people like you and Joanna, we would live in a perfect world without hate, war and suffering. How wonderful that you exist!
I love listening to your words and your calming voice.
By the way, you play the piano sensationally.
Thank you very much!
What you said about autism and how you experience the world as everything is connected is actually a universal truth. Not only are we all connected to each other but we are all connected to nature, the stars, planets, and the entire universe 💖 Thanks for sharing your beautiful music and your kind heart. 🥰
Dear Melinda , I am sat hear listening to you in the throes of MS
What a blessing you are!
Пусть будет полегче! Будь здоров!🙏🙏🙏💥 с любовью из России.
Melinda, I just came upon your channel. I wanted to let you know that I am a 65 year old wife and mother on the Autism Spectrum who plays 12 string guitar. I live on a 7 acre homestead in deep south Mississippi. I have lived a pretty much isolated life most of my life. I didn't understand my austim until I was about 54 years old after a life crisis (yet another one). Since then, I have embraced my autism and it is such a relief. I just don't fit as I also am like you in that I see the world differently. I also have sensory processing disorder. My dad abused me all my life into my adult life until I said, "Stop!" and meant it. It's difficult to live in a world around me that is focused on luxury and fine living. I don't live that way at all but the Lord has me serving in a church as music minister to wealthy folks. I am learning to play mandolin, mountain dulcimer, and I really want to learn banjo. I play only a little bit of piano. My husband and son are both on the Autism Spectrum as is my daughter in law. Isn't that amazing? It seems that folks like us seem to draw to folks like us. We all mostly like the same things as sing and play music together and work together on our family business and we homestead together. My daughter in law teaches - it's hard on her because of her autism and not being able to maintain any kind of control in the classroom. She lives with headaches. Oh, and I have long grey hair too! LOL! My husband loves my long, grey hair. I sincerely love the simple life. I wish I could make it simpler. Working gets harder as I get older because I want to spend my time doing creative things. Thank you for being brave in sharing your life. You are an inspiration and a confirmation to me that it's okay to be me growing older and that there's beauty in it. Yes, in my heart and mind, I feel 30 something even though my body doesn't agree. I really enjoy your music. I am also a songwriter. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and being inspired!
Receba meu abraço fraterno desde o extremo Sul do Brasil, fronteira com Uruguay. 🇧🇷❤️🇺🇾
I enjoyed reading your comment. You sound very interesting as well. I am taking all this in.
I am also on the spectrum, I am sure, but never really diagnosed. I am also a song writer with hopes that I would be able to share my songs somehow. But I have been very shy and reclusive most of my life, and now, being 70 years old, I feel maybe time is running out. Anyway, you two ladies are both beautiful inspirations. Thank you.
You are such a wonderful person too and I enjoyed your message. Keep moving forward. God bless you.
You are such an inspiration too. I'm probably on the spectrum, as I've always seen things differently. There is so much beauty in living on a homestead or ranch close to nature. My parents and I lived for years and farmed, wrote and talked about so much on our little family homestead here in the Sandhills of Nebraska. I live in a little house just west of town now, but it's beautiful out here, and I know the feeling of being young at heart even though my body doesn't agree! 😊❤
AWE ❤ Great vibes across the miles. HUGGERS @@rosimerimattos2730
Send you my love from Brazil. Love your music.
What a Blessing to all of us who have found you. Breathe and play and rejoice in your Gifts. Kindness. Compassion and the greatest of all Love❤️
Thank you, Melinda, for being in this world. I stumbled across your channel while I was just scrolling through UA-cam. I clicked on a video of you with your guitar out in the hills. I clicked on it because I thought, "Wow, look at this badass lady!". Then I kept clicking on your videos, and it brought me to this one. You are so inspiring. What you said about younger you and a hool resonated so much. What you said about how you feel when you are yelled at is so familiar. I'm 58 and just beginning to realize I may be autistic. You make me feel not so alone. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video ❤️
That song touched me on a cellular level. Needed that this morning. Thank you!
Beautiful Soul - enjoy your visits that are kind and loving to us. You can cry, I might cry. Many may cry: we do because we can’t process many things that hurt. I love your music, love you. It is hard, it is sad, many things but we can help each other love each other. Yes, great compassion. Love little things. Makes my heart feel glad. Thank you so much. Bless you. You are awesome. ✝️♥️✝️❌⭕️☮️
Melinda, you are a beautiful, genuine soul! Thank you! 💕 Besides your beautiful singing, talented music, ahd loving message, I see you helping autistic children and adults alike! I subscribed and liked your channel to support your Message of Love! 🙏❤
Beautiful lady, beautiful soul, thank you for touching my life with your lovely music today❤🌻
You are so very talented!🎶
One of my new favourite UA-camrs, you're beautiful energy is healing. Your piano playing is unbelievable. I subscribed! Lots of love from Ireland ❤️
My new favorite UA-camr too❤
I Love you and Thank you too! I thank the Universe for bringing me to you. I just turned 70 and have been living on my own for the past 14 years by choice and have become isolated with my 3 cats, due to such a chaotic and stressful life.I do continue to work caring for an elder 3 dats a week, but the rest of the time I enjoy my own company and feel at peace. I connect so much with your wisdom and love you dearly
Thank you. I can only bow in your presence. I hope you enjoy every moment of your life and every moment when you express yourself and your emotions through your music and through your voice. Thank you for being so kind to show yourself to us. I now know that here is hope even when it cannot be seen in the moment.
This is so beautiful piano song Melinda. I can imagine this song together with Jonna's voice.....and I love the way you are. Authentic, pure and simple. Peace, wisdom, talent and love is coming from you. Jonna had right about you. You are such a wonderful soul. ❤
While listening to this I was so moved, I saw visions of faraway lands, beautiful castles, lush and cascading fields of green, waterfalls and mountains. A fantastical fantasy scene ❤
Melinda this is beautiful. One can feel how much of your soul you put in your piano playing. Thanks. Show us your paintings
Thank you for your words and your music. They come from the Soul.
So very moving... you blessed my day! Please share more... I'm interested in your creativity and looking forward to seeing you paint. I tried a bit of watercolor painting for 18 months and then have stopped for 18 months! My heart will tell me when it's time. My health played a part... and as you know it can hinder you in different ways.
You've shared your heart... many are delighted to share the same... soul to soul...
God bless your journey... thank you for being open and loving ❤️ Til next time - keep on keeping on! With love and prayers, a California Gramma ❤
I expected a little, but you gave me music my soul is so deeply touched and addicted to. Thank you so much. And you didn't speak to much, because what you say is truly beautiful.
That was beautiful.
Moving, mesmerizing, uplifting.
Thank you so much for this gift.
I love how you express yourself through music. Thanks for sharing your talent. And thank you for sharing your story. Remember everyone is different. 🙏🇺🇸👍
Beautiful soul! Magic ! Thanks Melinda...❤😊

Dearest Melinda
You have pierced my heart with your compassion and pure love. I have been tracing medicine ways for Fourty years and I hold a weekly online women’s council which is a heart centred place to gather. There is no charge for this but women can make donations. I am a grandmother, a therapist and have been a political activist. Your work so resonates with me, I work with wilderness therapy and our deep connection with nature. Thank you for being in the world and doing such heart centred work. I Love You Sister. Xx💞💞
You are Beautiful and so is your music! Thank you!
Bless the very bright light of your soul! It is SO REFRESHING!! THANK YOU!!!
Jonna Jinton from Sweden mentioned you in her video, that’s how I found you. You are such a beautiful person with beautiful heart and soul.
This song is very beautiful and moving. I can feel it.
Thank you Melinda! Your offerings are so loving and soulful. What a gift you are!
Your song is exquisite, no small thing. Thanks for your genuineness, honesty, and willingness to embrace your challenges. You are win-win and inspiring many! I'd love to meet you someday too. God bless and keep you.
Your Soul and music visits me 🙏🙏. Sending you love and healing. See you in the UK on your travels xx
Thank you for the beautiful piano most of all thank you for letting people be aware of the sensitivity of autism I've lived we have high functioning autism all these years and just barely found out that was a diagnosed for me very sensitive to other people's emotions when they're angry I shut down never knew why I was always quiet never stepped forward or do anything about it but now I'm working with knowing how to deal with that thank you so much for being on UA-cam❤❤💯👃

Beautiful music, soothing too. A great way to end the day. Thank you ! Take good care of yourself. I send you lots of love ❤
You're video playing guitar in the mountains showed up in my suggested content. I was captivated from the beginning to the end. So when I saw this, I had to watch. I began playing piano when I was 3. It is my first love. I don't know if I'm on the spectrum, although I've often wondered.
So happy you found a kind soul who appreciates the amazing soul you are!
Sending you lots of love and thanks for sharing you with us ✨💞 Many blessings to you and yours
How can just listening to someone be so therapeutic.
Ms. Coombs every time I listen
to you my soul is cleansed , my
heart is opened and I feel at
peace . Thank you. ❤
I felt that! The moment you start playing the piano made my soul sing. It made me cry as well, going through a grieve proces and all does that. I hope you get to travel the world. Looking forward to all the things that you will share with us. You make it much easier to picture my own inner wise woman. ❤ ❤
Прекрасная душа, чистая и красивая.. спасибо тебе.. ты подарила надежду❤
Wow, Melinda. You are amazing. ❤ You are such a kind and compassionate soul. How blessed we are to hear you each time you come on here. I was so surprised by your piano playing. Wow!!! It was so very beautiful. I always look forward to hearing you and what you say and listening to you sing and play your instruments. So very blessed. 😇 ❤
It is moving and compelling to hear another natural musician share her gifts and insights.
Your energy is beautiful Melinda. You embody a kind wise elder which I have always craved in my life (and I have a few others do too).❤
exactly how I felt! I had this "I wished I had a beautiful older lady like her in my life"...yearning in my soul...
What a beautiful soul you are. Your music came straight in and moved me. That interruption with your smile was also so beautiful. Thank you for your inspired gift!
Soul revealed to me Melinda today...your piano melody is hauntingly joyous. For me it spoke of your willingness to bear your melancholy and your joy. Beautiful Beautiful !!Thank you!! Brent in northwest Arkansas💖
Thank you. Your piano playing is so beautiful. You have a beautiful soul.
So beautiful - the words and the music. A big thank you to Jonna for "introducing" us 💜
How do I find Jonna? What’s her name on UA-cam? I just found Melinda today and I’m interested in learning about Jonna now too!

Wow, such lovely words AND music! Thank you for sharing your beauty with us. This world needs more of you ❤
Dear Melinda. I am a new fan of yours. I watch your videos and I just get such a warm cozy feeling listening to you. Your voice and words are so comforting.
Hello Melinda. As an age acqu iring soul myself, I have to say your presents here has lightened the hearts of many. God has blessed you in so many ways. Thank you for your truth and beautiful music.🕊️🕊️🕊️
In a world full of hurtful sounds, I hear love, hope and beauty in every note, in every chord, in every pause. And I love your calming voice. Never stop. Thank you.
What a wonderful start on my sunday you gave me. Thank you beautiful Melinda. I loved your piano music. It gave me "visions" as if I was an autumn leaf carried on a stream... and later in that piece you played, as a feather carried by the wind high above the tree tops, viewing the Mountains... Beautiful piece you played. Thank you ❤ - Please do come to Sweden 🙏. Thank you for just being you - lots of love from 🇸🇪. Wish you the best🙏
First time viewer and new subscriber from Indiana. That was piano playing. I just sat back, closed my eyes and listened to an angel play God’s gift of music. Thank you for the talk and opening my eyes inside the world of autism. We all have battles we deal with daily, some are easy and others more difficult. But through God he can make these things easier for us to go through because we know we aren’t alone. God bless you and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos! ❤🌼🎹
