Rhythm of the Aura Body
Cicadas, if you take the time to listen to their song, have a very rhythmic calling – almost like breathing, in and out, in and out. Their sound resonates from within their corrugated exoskeleton or tymbal, a drumlike buckling and unbuckling of muscle contractions. In their night’s drumming circle, it is only when an outside…

Morphogenesis
The first time I heard of the morphogenetic field was through reading Moray B. King’s Tapping the Zero-Point Energy. I was drawn to quantum physics last Fall when my whole world started to become surreal with the first sighting of energy strands. Though his book is quite technical and specific to inventors and scientists, the…

The Breakdown
Fascinating paradoxical socially-conditioned conundrums we are being exposed to now: 1. Learning to place self, or even society, above responsibility normally reserved for job/career. 2. Learning to accept kindness from others after having been conditioned into believing “handouts” prove your lack of value. (Maybe, it really does take a village…) 3. Learning that facts we…

The Words We Speak
I have this memory of a question that my teacher asked. This may have been 6th grade. The teacher asked “what words do you just really hate?” Kids were raising their hands left and right, including me. But, my hand eventually went down as I realized how I interpreted her question was not only vastly…

Awake
“Don’t you ever feel afraid?” I was asked for the hundredth time in regards to my hiking alone. Sometimes I do the day hike, other times I’m gone for 3-4 days, and once I hiked for a month and a half. This past Fall, I went hiking in the Eagle Rock Loop of the Ouachita…

The Arc of the Peripherals
Like the last post, the title of this one came to me out of the blue. In a sense, I feel like I’m being reminded, not made aware of new information. Nonetheless, perhaps eventually, I’ll understand where this is all leading… The Arc of the Peripherals (phrase originating from that which we see out of…

The Herd Mentality
Lately, I’ve been mulling over the “herd mentality.” In marketing, the herd mentality is an extremely useful tool to use and understand. Essentially, we buy things, or buy into ideas, when our herd does, or the herd we wish to align ourselves with do. The opposite also has its power – when we do not…

Groundhog’s Day
Do you ever feel like you’re just going in circles? Those cycles of the same kinds of people or the same kinds of situations that keep coming over and over and though we finally take note and start dealing with them in different ways, they still keep coming into our lives over and over and…

Way-finding
“It’s called way-finding, princess. It’s not just sails and knots. It’s seeing where you’re going in your mind, and knowing where you are by knowing where you’ve been.” – Māui, Moana “…knowing where you are by knowing where you’ve been.” A beautiful line that caught my attention while watching Moana (Yes! Finally I have…

The Call for Healers
Recently, I joined a Facebook group called Idealists of the World. When I found this group, I had this overwhelming sense of community and love pour forth. I spent most of my life feeling as if I am an “other,” separate and different from the rest of the community that I surrounded myself by –…
