Following your inner wisdom... What is your TRAIL OF RESONANCE?
There is a feeling inside us, a deep pull, a longing, or resonance, that is a cue for the special medicine we hold for the world. Have you experienced this pull? Are you following this calling? Something that resonates in certain poetry for you that is unique, that feels like it is speaking to you alone? Something that might feel like synergy, magic, or like the Celestine Prophesy, if you read that. Something for me that feels like resonance in my body when my body says YES, or an inner feeling of truth. It's a pull towards something deeper. Do you know that feeling? Do you follow that?

I have learned so much through following this deeper inner pull. As a musician, I knew there was a way to look deeper into the song cycles I was drawn to, so I started creating videos and ambient compositions with my husband around those pieces that resonated deeply with me, and that allowed the pieces to breathe more. Following this trail of resonance, I literally was walking down the street and ran into my first sound meditation experience, which allowed me to explore the ocean of consciousness, as well as really aiding me in releasing anxiety when I needed.

Breathwork accompanied the beginning of most sound journeys at the beginning, so I began exploring deeper and longer experiences of breathwork. Hour-long breathwork sessions became an essential part of my personal practice during pandemic (as well as sound meditation), for self exploration and self revelation, and also for stress management.

Now I am a student of shamanic practice and earth-based spirituality, as the breathwork that spoke to me the most was shamanic breathwork, and I began to experience an inner resonance of interconnectivity that was profound and deeply transformational on all levels. Perhaps this inner experience of interconnectivity helped me realize that I needed to share these modalities, so now I am teaching self inquiry and self care through breathwork and sound meditation, based on my experience and what I have learned.

Becoming the authentic me turns out to be simply a series of deeply resonant moments, following the crumbs of trust and surrender to the end (well… it’s not over yet!!) . What kind of trail of resonance are you following right now, or is there something that’s holding you back from following it?
I used to be so scared that people would think I was too woo-woo (spiritual in a bad way). Sometimes I’m still scared of that, maybe because I also value being grounded. (And maybe that’s part of my special medicine: grounded spirituality.)
Life is too short not to be all of who I am. (Life is too short for YOU not to be all of who YOU are, I think.) I’m amazed at how much deeper I can connect to others now that I’m not trying to fit in anymore and just speak my truth. I wish you to find that as well. You have a gift in you that is special medicine for others that only you can provide!!!
