You are alive in a magical time of transformation. The world and her inhabitants are shifting levels. Truly, I think it’s the humans that are shifting. Our plant, animal, elemental friends, the earth, the planets, the cosmos… they’re already at a balanced, healing, sustainable, loving, compassionate level. Now it’s time for humanity to evolve.
This transformation isn’t something that arrives external to you and fixes things so you feel better. The transformation is you, in you, of you… in and of each of us. Awakening, enlightenment, 5D energy… whatever you call it… to me the transformation is a simple thing.
You, I and every being you see is physical and spirit. the challenge comes in that we all have been raised only to:
- value the physical world
- to use physical resources as tools, as shelter
- to see physical assets and actions as our source of value and gratification
To reach this next level, each of us must begin to connect to the spirit in us, to:
- value the spirit world
- to use spiritual resources as tools and shelter,
- to see our own spiritual power as a source of value and gratification.
Some of you are very connected to spirit but many still see spirit as “other.” Some see spirit as being outside of the self, something to see sought or called in to connect. Allow me to remind you that spirit is as real in you as the image you see in the mirror every day. And you, the spirit, is infinitely more powerful than the physical being you are comfortable presenting to the world every day.
Spirit is our connection, our unifier… spirit is the whole. You don’t need to develop your spirit or teach it or empower it. You just need to embrace it and to listen. This spirit you is part of the whole, the Source, the ALL. It has all wisdom already. We just haven’t learned to listen.
I use sound as a tool to connect to spirit and give it voice. Let me first tell you a little story about the cat. We all know that cats purr and many assume that means they are happy. Research has shown that a cat’s purr releases endorphins. This lowers stress hormones which is helpful in healing, lowering blood pressure, and helping to cope with illness. Yes, so purring helps the cat heal. Cats purr not just when they are happy, they purr when they are injured and need to heal. I’ll spare you all the details about bones healing faster in cats than dogs or nine lives for the sake of brevity. There’s a couple pages in a book I’m reading about it called “Awakening Vibration: Tune in to discover your authentic self” by Neil Primack. That may be fodder for another post?
Cats know that sounds they create heal and comfort them. People are no different. Our voices are perfectly tuned to comfort and heal each of us. Some feel that the voice is directly connected to our spirit self. So using our voice is not just healing and comforting to us, but also is a solid connection to our spiritual self. Now, I understand that many of us have been taught.told that our voices aren’t good. For so many, we have been taught to not use our voice to make noise or to say words that naturally wish to rise out of us. I have been taught that the voice is our doorway to bringing our physical and spiritual selves together.
Sound healing allows me to use my voice and instruments to share sound in an environment where you are soaking in sound. The intention this sound is created and released in is love. I wish to connect with you on the physical plane and on the spirit plane. I also want you to use your voice to connect your physical and spirit selves. We do that in sound bath thru humming and breathing together, audibly.
Of course, today you’re reading a blog, not with me in ceremony so how can you connect spirit and body on your own? By humming. Yes, isn’t that simple. Humming is kind of the human version of purring. So if you wish to- take a few moments and play along with me. Put one of your hands, palm facing your throat. allow the other hand to rest on your heart center, the middle of your chest. Now inhale deeply and let out a nice hum. Feel the vibration this hum creates with your hands. Inhale when you’re ready and hum again. Next time take a deeper inhale, breathing first into belly then chest and let out another hum. That hum likely felt stronger, steadier and lasted longer. Continue a few more times, changing the note you hum. Do higher notes resonate differently, in different parts of your body? How do lower notes feel to you?
Taking a few minutes every day exploring this simple practice is a sweet little meditation. It can calm you. It definitely pulls you into the. moment. AND, it heals you and helps you connect your spirit self and your physical being.
When we have truly connected our body and spirit… we can begin to live at a different level. To me, this is the awakening, the enlightenment. This isn’t a one time event. We connect spirit and physical and we’re “there.” Then 2 minutes later we slide back into our physical inner critic and Whoosh, we’re back to this lower level of existance. It’s a practice… the more we do it, the easier it is to stay at the higher, lighter, level.
There, we begin to know that each being we encounter in life is body and spirit, even if they’re not aware of their spiritual side. Yes, all beings- the ones who agree with you and the ones who don’t. All beings- the ones you love and the ones you think you can’t. All beings- all the same, all body and spirit. All are worthy and capable of this same connection. I believe they will connect in time.
We can help others find their awakening… not be telling them what they should do. We can help others elevate by simply viewing them in their wholeness- body and spirit. There is magic there that helps us respond to others differently, with our hearts more open. And our connection with others at this level energizes the spirit side of them. Remember, we are valuing the power of the spirit side of life, not just seeing the physical as a way to make things happen.
We just must be the change the world so badly needs. We must honor our physical and spiritual self and honor the same in others. A little humming everyday will help.
I love simple solutions.
Sending light and love to us all
