  Vibration---      Let’s start our journey of learning first by understanding what vibration is. This basis will allow you to use your own insight to navigate the realms of consciousness ahead of you, without the need to be told what to do. If you can understand vibration, you can use that compass to direct your experience in the direction YOU choose, not what someone else chooses for you.      When we talk about vibration this way, we are talking about feeling vibrations, but in order to understand it better we can look at the frequencies of tones in music or of colors on the spectrum of light.      Each one of these notes and colors are unique and valid in their own right, even if some are higher on the spectrum and some are lower. Sound and color can also help us to understand that there are certain vibrations out of our realm of perception but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.      An octave in music has 7 note...

Hi there! Let's take 2 seconds to talk about privilege. In the wake of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and all the talk of systematic racism going on, the words "white privilege" have been coming up a lot, but it's not just a white thing. There is "male privilege" which is something enjoyed by men. There is "CIS privilege" which is enjoyed by straight gender conforming individuals. Obviously there is nothing wrong with being these things. You have no choice in the matter as to whether you are born black or white, male, female or other, or are straight or gay. But it seems sometimes when privilege is pointed out some people become angry and think they are being shamed. That's not the point, so let me try to explain what is. When we use these new terms around privilege I personally am never trying or looking for anybody to feel bad or guilty about themselves for it. What would the point of that be? How would that help the situation? Maybe an ang...

Manifesting circumstances as an individual is different than manifesting circumstances as a collective--- There is an important distinction we need to make as new-agers who believe we create our own reality. Yes, this is true, we create our reality as an individual. Our life is our responsibility and a reflection of our thinking, but that applies to our personal reality. We always have the power to manifest on an individual level, but here's the thing... Diversity illustration by Hope McConnell Racism is not an individual issue. It's a societal issue, a collective issue. A lot of times, in order to manifest on an individual level, you have to separate yourself from a collective understanding of reality. MAYBE, and this is a BIG maybe, you could as a POC manifest an experience without racist harassment directed at you, for instance like Candace Owens professes, but that does not mean that it erases racism for the rest of the world. On a collective level, we hav...

And as luck would have it, your groundbreaking discovery and the important work you've been doing is finally recognized. You get invited to a fancy conference in Washington D.C. to talk about all the work you've been tirelessly doing over the past 10 years. It feels like a dream to put on this expensive outfit that's been bought for you so you'll blend in better with the "very important people," and not in the good way. Not a dream like it's been something you've been longing for. More like the kind of dream where everything takes place underwater and you watch it like a movie, like your body is an automated theme-park ride and you're simply strapped in. In all the hustle of the evening, the introductions and hand shaking, you finally gain your bearings. It's time for a moment alone. You decide escaping off to the bathroom for a few minutes might just be like coming back up to the surface to take a few breaths of fresh air before you dive ...
