The Unseeable Pollution

As the calendar flips over to a new series of days and months it’s time to reflect and bring closure to the latest year of my life. It’s also time to welcome in the freshness of a whole new year that’s getting ready to bloom and this truly is the best part of the holiday season. The end of another year makes you look back, but it also makes you look forward. I’ll scroll through my photos in my phone, looking at the past year and the time line of memories with images I captured along the way. This is a good mental exercise for the soul, a little similar to a life review. One year in review with a slide show of imagery will give you a nice fulfilling moment at a higher perspective as you look back to reflect through your captured memories.

If I could put a theme to 2025 for me it would be “just get comfortable”. Be comfortable with who I am. Know my strengths and be comfortable with my weaknesses. Have a better understanding of why I am the way that I am without an over abundance of questioning myself. By being comfortable I mean for the first time in my life I told a customer of mine when I was working at her house I said “I can’t work for you anymore, you’re just way too difficult”. In the past I would have bit my tongue and dwelled in a depth of frustration. Now it’s time to get more vocal when I see it’s needed. She kindly respected what I told her and we went our separate ways.

I use to be sort of ashamed for what I did for a living. Well, let me clarify that. The ultimate conversation killer is when I told people “I work in construction”. The look on their face was always a “Oh” with no response or follow up dialogue. (Side note – Lately I’ve noticed a huge 180 in peoples’ reaction when I tell them my career. Almost if going to college now is a crime and being in the trades is an achievement? By working on being comfortable with who I am, now I’m going to change that narrative. My strength actually is that I’m not tech savvy, but recognizing that I’m a old soul, better yet I’m an ancient soul living in the modern world. I’m about as old school as a Man can ever be. I work with my hands, I get dirty, I’m a craftsman, I eat my lunch on the back of a tailgate, I make job agreements with a hand shake, I work outside in the elements and I can go all day without staring at a computer or having withdrawals from not scrolling on social media. My job requires zero technology or modern electronics. Speaking of technology and how it plays role in my second job, sound healing. Wait, there is no role. A metal singing bowl is the oldest, simplest shaped instrument made by hand and the tool of a hammer combined with some good old fashioned hard work and sweat. It’s literally the most perfect piece of craftsmanship that fits my personality like a glove. A soft, gentle sounding instrument that is simplistic and ancient, but can change the feeling of a whole room with its positive effect. Wait a second, am I describing a sound bowl or am I describing my personality? The two jobs that I do for a living are the ultimate non tech things that I could possibly do. No computers, no smart phones, no A.I. One job requires true skilled labor and the other job is all about positive spiritual energy. A career and a personality couldn’t be more synchronized than that. So please, when I tell you what I do for a living there’s no need to look at me with dismay, just know what I’m doing is in complete alignment with who I am as a person.

My intuition was off this year for some reason. I thought I was moving up in the hills to Fountain Grove. I had a nice opportunity fall in my lap to live in a bigger more modern space than what I have now. I started getting excited picturing myself living there and then poof! It fell through in the end. I also told everyone for 3 months that I was moving my office space. It was time to expand and time for a change in the business. Had a local real estate agent go on the hunt for me to set up walk throughs to look at available spaces on the market. I was so sure I was moving, my mentality was “just keep looking, the right place will come!” Well the right place never came. I walked away from these experiences this year looking at my current locations with a whole new wave of admiration. I’m thankful every single day I wake up for my job, where I live and what the Universe has done to support me in every pocket of my life. In most cases, you are not in control, the spirits are. The last time I moved my office space 5 years ago it was not my intention at all. What’s crazy is I somehow blanked out and forgot to sign the rent check, I’ve never done that before. So I get a phone call from the property manager and she says “just swing by our office after you get off work and sign the check”. I go there and I sit down and we’re just chatting about life for about ten minutes. Randomly she brings up how there’s going to be a opening next to my current suite because someone is moving out. She looked at me and said “would you be interested?” Out of nowhere there I was with a huge unexpected transition that wasn’t even on my radar. That was the spirits guiding me to a better opportunity when they saw that was I ready, it all happened because I “accidentally” forgot to sign that month’s rent check. I’ve learned not to want anything anymore, material things yes I could want something nice from a store and go out to purchase it. I’m talking about wanting what I think is best for my life. I have been 100% wrong my whole adulthood in thinking or predicting the direction on how my life should or will turn out. I’m coming into 2026 no expectations anymore. Expectations is a tricky concept, definition: your strong hopes or beliefs that something will happen or that you will get something that you want. However the Universe steers me is the direction I go and whatever the Spirits supply me is what I need. There’s no more “I want” mentality anymore. At my current age, I think this is the longest I’ve ever lived out of all my incarnations. So in theory I could say I’ve already lived a full lifetime. That’s the balance of aging within the 3rd dimensional time clock. The physical body slowly declines, but the soul inclines. Our spirit guides are insanely close to us, much more than people realize. The only thing you need to “expect” is that your spirit guides will support you with the supplies that you need every step of the way, just let your life flow with it.

It feels like it’s getting harder to predict or make plans for the future. For some reason it’s hard to envision what life will be like on a personal or global level just twelve months from now. You’ve heard the question “Where do you see yourself in five years from now?” Why is it difficult to look ahead? It’s like when a focused thought projection is signaled out its met with a clutter of blockages. What is going on here? I’m someone who is well thought out and methodical with my decision making, but it’s getting difficult to get a reading on anything. Our whole atmosphere is completely clouded and blanketed with power lines, cell phone towers and Wi-Fi signals. There are over 12,000 active satellites orbiting Earth right now and that number will grow significantly with Space X having a goal of sending 42,000 more satellites into space over the next two decades. What is the impact to human health and the environment? The human body is a computer in its own right, we are antennas, we are receivers, we are electromagnetic frequency holding magnetic machines. Aside from our concentration levels being warped into oblivion from modern era technology, now I’m questioning if are our own inner thoughts are in a battle with frequency radio waves. I’m definitely not a fear factor guy freaking out about 5G cell phone towers or chem trails, that’s not my lane. When I look at photos taken from space that are looking down on Earth and I see it completely covered in electronic radiation, it just comes off a little concerning to me. It’s like looking at a animal in a cage, yes the animal is safe and alive but it’s just not natural. That’s how I feel about the planet, humans have polluted it from the inside out of all its resources and now thousands of satellites have put Earth inside a disguised enclosure. Will I get cancer sleeping next to a internet modem, no I won’t but I’m just getting a little curious of what the effects are by turning this whole planet into a complete web of electronic currents. For thousands of years it’s never been this way until now. It’s pollution that is not visible, so the consequences are getting overlooked. Could there be a link between the Earth’s health and human health, meaning if mother natures spirit is suffering would it in turn effect the health of humans? I remember vividly right before Covid broke out having a conversation with a friend of mine and I was telling her how I felt a sharp piercing type effect that hurt my skin when I sat out in the sunlight. It was actually a little startling and was not just a one time incident. Imagine the light rays from the Sun fighting through clutter filled polluted air consisting of carbon monoxide, power lines, a billion cell phones and fossil fuels. The sharp burning effect from the Sun luckily didn’t come back after Covid. One benefit to Covid was the human race stood still for a few months by being forced to stay inside. This allowed the planet to go through a brief cleansing in her own right. Satellites were still active, but the daily pollution was halted due to everything being shutdown.

My research for this subject brought me to this:

“Rocket launches and satellite reentries produce particles and gases that can affect atmospheric temperatures and deplete the ozone layer. Satellites can reflect sunlight and transmit radio signals that obstruct observations of natural phenomena. Satellite operators and astronomers are beginning to explore ways of mitigating these effects with technologies to darken satellites, and with tools to help astronomers avoid or filter out light reflections or radio transmissions. However, the efficacy of these techniques remains in question, and astronomers need more data about the satellites to improve mitigations.”

This is not an article on 5G, it’s a perspective of how we’re intertwined with frequencies from all this man-made electrified communication and trying to figure out why things feel off these days. Humans are much more telepathic than what we get credit for, using our bodies similar to an antenna or receiver. We also use our inner voice and intuition more than we verbally talk. This is why I want to bring attention to the possibility of radio waves starting to impact our internal frequencies. I think for us to have accurate mental clarity then we can’t be opposing millions of other electrical signals, since after all we ourselves are energetic current flowing light beings that generates a magnetic field exactly like an antenna does. Another way to look at it is the troubling concerns about the effects on birds and bees. Some reports are saying all these higher frequencies are making the birds disoriented by impacting their navigation since they use magnetic fields for flight. Bees use electromagnetic fields to find food. Studies show there have been behavioral changes on the birds behavior, nesting and internal clocks. I’m sure you’ve also heard in recent years about the population demise of bees. Any coincidences here? All research from major publications will lead you to the same common conclusion which is “more extensive scientific research needs to be determined for a clear consensus” and that’s what we’re left with. My two cents is if it affects animals then it will affect us. If studies show birds are getting disoriented, then maybe we are too. The machines are here without out the Hollywood set, this is not a movie.


Tears are River Water from the Soul

Let’s stop associating sadness and crying. Yes there are moments in life when we’re going to feel the emotion of being sad and it’s going to trigger tears. It doesn’t make you look weak, it’s a sign your spirit has depth. Crying is a powerful tool in the human bag that gets pulled out once in a while as a mechanism to express a wide range of emotions we are feeling directly from the heart. I guess it’s a conventional mentality that grown adults can’t cry because it will make you look fragile. Every grown man or grown woman cries when nobody is around and when nobody is looking so let’s talk about the internal strength you have to move the water inside you.

Crying is so much bigger than being linked to feeling sad. The heart is the most dynamic source of power in the universe. You will cry in moments in life maybe watching a movie, listening to music, having a deep conversation, visualizing a sentimental memory, sensing extreme fear, feeling a great deal of physical pain, feeling intense pressure of the moment or you even might cry while being stimulated with a abundance of happiness. You’ll even see tough super star athletes cry when experiencing so much joy when they’ve won a championship. What’s the common link connecting all those scenarios together? The heart is more active, it’s operating at a higher amperage. It’s the difference of an engine sitting idle compared to the engine going faster and getting louder as you shift gears producing higher RPM’s. Energetically the heart is being thrust open in a spinning motion which instantly catapults a lighting like flash of light through the body sending water shooting outwards to release through your eyes like a overflowing riverbank.

Do I dare say it might actually feel good to cry? I’ll go a step further and say crying is actually healthy, the heart needs exercise and it’s okay to open it up on occasions so it can breathe. Aside from a cleansing or purification you feel in the eyes as fresh water lubricates them, I’ve noticed lately when a deep touching moment ignites in me, it’s really hard to describe but I feel a flash of warmth or tingling sensation inside of me and then comes the watery eyes. It’s very quick like a spark of light. This is what inspired me on this subject. When I’m at work once in while a memory dawns on me and I can hear my Dad’s voice inside my head. We worked together for many years, so working on the job site brings forth vivid memories which generates vibrations of emotion that fill the body like a flowing stream. It made me stop and think to say, “Hey wait a second.”

What exactly is crying all about? After crying you feel a shift, you feel movement, you feel a release. A rapid brush of gentle tingles flow through you. So I thought about it for many months with imagery and I see the heart spinning for a split second like it’s being accelerated on and the spinning motion is so strong it ripples the water inside of us only then to push the water outwards into the eyes. Just picture dropping a rock in water and the evenly flowing circular waves moving outwards. This happens because the heart sits directly in the center of the soul. The heart center is the source, it’s the engine of light that drives everything of our extraordinary multi layered bodies.

That’s my personal description, in medical terms doctors would outline the functionality of the sympathetic nervous system. Your sympathetic nervous system is a network of nerves that helps your body activate its “fight-or-flight” response. This system’s activity increases when you’re stressed, in danger or physically active. Your SNS is best known for its role in responding to dangerous or stressful situations. In these situations, your SNS activates to speed up your heart rate, deliver more blood to areas of your body that need more oxygen or other responses to help you get out of danger. Most of the signals that your SNS sends start in your spinal cord. The signals leave your spinal cord and activate structures called ganglia. Your sympathetic ganglia then send the necessary signals far and wide to different parts of your body. This could include your heart, lungs, arteries, sweat glands and digestive system.

Sometimes when I’m writing on a particular subject I’ll jump online and research it to see what information is out there just to compare notes. I’m always pleasantly surprised when I read articles from corporate medical journals. Doctors, researchers and journalists do extensive research and testing for many years so you absolutely have to respect and learn from it. The results that they conclude seem to always line up with my personal opinions. You would think that the bigger corporate machines and a “alternative” person like myself who believes in a simpler, more natural way of health would not see eye to eye. Well I’ve found that we do have so much in common, maybe it’s a difference of backgrounds, but overall we really are playing on the same team. The medical field works on the 3rd dimensional human body, healers work on the 5th dimensional energetic light body. Ironically we are on common ground and I think it’s important for me to highlight this.

I want to share a small excerpt from a Time magazine article about the “The Science of Crying” that I really liked:

“By some calculations, people have been speculating about where tears come from and why humans shed them since about 1,500 B.C. For centuries, people thought tears originated in the heart; the Old Testament describes tears as the by-product of when the heart’s material weakens and turns into water, says Vingerhoets. Later, in Hippocrates’ time, it was thought that the mind was the trigger for tears. A prevailing theory in the 1600s held that emotions — especially love — heated the heart, which generated water vapor in order to cool itself down. The heart vapor would then rise to the head, condense near the eyes and escape as tears.”

Now this is really interesting isn’t it? Going back to the 1600’s, look at the wording they used and comparing it to my “New Age Spiritual” assessment. They said “love heated the heart, which generated water vapor to cool itself down then rise to the head and escape as tears”. I had no idea about this article or what they theorized thousands of years ago. It’s compelling to compare my flash of light/waves of water imagery to they’re heart warmth and vapor rising description. Here I am again finding common ground with something so unexpectedly.

Here’s one more excerpt from scientific research that needs to be mentioned: “Scientists have also found some evidence that emotional tears are chemically different from the ones people shed while chopping onions—which may help explain why crying sends such a strong emotional signal to others. In addition to the enzymes, lipids, metabolites and electrolytes that make up any tears, emotional tears contain more protein. One hypothesis is that this higher protein content makes emotional tears more viscous, so they stick to the skin more strongly and run down the face more slowly, making them more likely to be seen by others.”

There’s a chemical difference between crying from a onion and crying from emotion. Crying from a onion is a reflex that the body goes into to protect the surface by washing away the irritant. Emotional crying has a whole different compound. I’m sure if you thought about it for a moment you would remember when a emotional tear comes down your face it has a stronger feel to it as it’s making contact to your skin. I don’t think we‘ve ever thought about it in this manner, but you can see the uncanny similarities uniting together between scientific medical research and philosophies of the spirit body. Pay close attention to the sensations you feel within you during the times when your heart activates on and generates moving water. Remember the famous quote Jim Valvano said in his final speech “If you laugh, you think, you cry, that’s a full day”.


Modern Life vs. Ancient Wisdom

In our young infant stage in life we are thrown into a structured system that boxes us in. I somehow remember vividly my very first day of 1st grade. I recall it like it was yesterday, my Dad dropped me off at the sidewalk of the Elementary school. I was nervous and scared because I knew I was entering into the building on my own now. I had my back pack on and Transformers lunch box in hand, wanting to cry because deep down I inherently knew my freedom as a kid will now belong to a fixed program.

For the next 12 years of my childhood and teenage years I will be in a system that will be extremely similar to employment. A structured time table of when to show up, when to eat and when to leave. My intelligence will now be measured by an A-F grading scale. My creativity as an individual will now be molded like a product on a conveyor belt and I will be forever limited to my true capabilities.

I started working my first real job with paid wages at the age of 15. I now have logged in 30 years of working. In my younger days there were phases of working part time between school and figuring out what to do with my life, but all in all being employed has been a astronomical percentage of my life.

Looking back at my 20’s, I was so young and ambitious trying to prove myself to my employer. Such big dreams in my heart hoping to get a raise by a couple dollars throughout the year. Alarm clock buzzing at 4:30am five times a week just to commute an hour to work before the Sun even rises. How incredibly backwards is it to be in your deepest sleep just to be jolted awake by a obnoxious ringing alarm right next to your bed? From that exact moment you are now in work mode for practically the next 12 hours of the day.

Our friends in the 5th dimension The Arcturians refer to this planet as the “Blue Jewel” because when you look at it from outer space it radiates blue from all the ocean waters. I joke to myself with my inner voice and say well you can call it the blue jewel or the blue planet if you want but, why don’t you call it what it really is….. the “Labor Planet”.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to sit around all day and do nothing just to lay around and watch movies. We do need people working in a thriving economy. I flourish off working hard unlike anyone you’ve ever seen. I’m just really curious if I wasn’t institutionalized to the bone from the age of 6 to retirement at 65, what could I accomplish on a personal basis? The freedom of creativity that I have embraced as an adult now that the shackles are off to some degree, what if there was system that nurtured creativity from the start? I think that’s one advantage ancient cultures had over us because they had no governments, no pharmaceuticals, no internet, no 30 year mortgages, no American healthcare, no social security numbers, no alarm clocks. The knowledge that they had was so advanced, the only logical explanation we can come up with is “well extra terrestrials must have come down and shown them!” Maybe so? Or is it the result of humans actually getting to develop naturally? At 18 years old they want us get out off the house and choose a career or go to college. We are constantly under pressure to produce and fall in line to this system our whole lives. Credit scores, yearly incomes, income taxes engraved in our lifestyle as if we’re treated like labor machines. The ancients got to study and stare at the stars, we get to consume toxicity and stare at screens. How backwards can we get in this modern age?? Can we at least dial it down a bit and go to 4 day work weeks or 6 hour work days? Heck they want to raise the age of retirement! How ’bout lowering it!

The true measurement of success is not how much fake paper money you can make a year, it’s soul development, which you can really make leaps and bounds of progress specifically here in the 3rd dimension unlike anywhere in the Universe. I get it, the harder the lesson, the more potent the medicine. Your soul welcomes the range of emotions that you can only experience here on Earth. Think about how powerful a smile is, a laugh, a tear, being nervous, being angry, what a ride this is isn’t it? These emotions were specifically designed only for the 3rd dimension. The collection of memories you have is knowledge for the spirit and that’s what drew you here. The tests of life that you will face are more gratifying than anything the 5th dimension could offer in respect to how challenging it is for a ray of light to be now stuck in the heavy load that is the human body with every move you make having karmic ties.

What if we were raised with spiritual type teachings and shown how to engage in a healthy mindset instead of a society that glamorizes endless deadly poisons like alcohol and cancer causing diets? What levels of consciousness could be unlocked? That’s why we have to compare current cultures to ancient time periods. I’m just now discovering in my own body that it has technology we don’t even know about or understand. This point in particular I will touch more on in coming years. It’s unfortunate I’m not a Father in this lifetime, that would give me the opportunity to walk them through channels of enlightenment at a young age that I never got and would be a way for me to pay it forward.

Being in a classroom as a kid stuck sitting at desk felt like a penalty. I struggled to concentrate because it felt dehumanizing, I was literally suffocating. I was the most active student during recess because being outside felt like I can finally breathe! We are told to get good grades then get a good job to dominate 60 years of our life, but it’s really your interactions with people that holds the true profit. I listen to many Near Death Experiences, there are YouTube channels that cover people telling their personal stories. You get a glimpse of what is showcased and highlighted when you enter directly into 5th dimensional fields. People come back into their incarnation after a near death experience with a burst of more light flaring from the heart and they are relaying to people in so many words how earth life focuses on all the most meaningless things. Parts of their life flashed in front of them and they see the influence of every action they take, how it directly effects a person or a animal. This is what Akashic is recording. Most times it takes an out-of-body experience for people to grasp this. What humans deem as successful, the spirits see as insignificant when comparing how worthless paper money is to the value of a positive helping gesture.

Have you ever had co workers that you don’t like or get along with? Well I’m sure we all do. However, when you see this person outside of employment and off the clock they are completely different. Their whole demeanor is now calming and welcoming, there’s no tension between the two of you and you say to yourself “I can be friends with them outside of work”. It’s because working brings out certain qualities in us that is way out of our true nature. Work is stressful, you’re under the gun constantly having to get results for the company. Doing it everyday and year around eats away at our souls and it turns you into somebody that is out of your own character.

The house that I live at is on the same property of where the landlord also lives at. It’s just us two, he lives in the main house and I live next door in a separate unit. One year ago he retired. I saw first hand how the shift in him drastically changed from a working man, then transitioning to a retiree. He used to be so distant and uptight while working full time 6 days a week. He’s so calm now, literally transformed into a whole new person. He looks so healthy and happier. Go figure right? The change in personality is no coincidence. I want to outline to you the potential humans can reach here in the 3rd dimension when we are more in our natural habitat. At our core we all are spiritual, but our environments deconstruct us of our purest essence. Now that he’s fully retired he went out and purchased an RV, travels around the country with his boat and leaves for weeks on end. When he’s at home he’ll spend time in the garden or he’ll do some light volunteer work for the city cleaning up graffiti or helping out in the parks. He carries zero stress and overall is just vibrant and healthier on every single level. After all these years his spirit is now activated.

Between the internet and institutions controlling our lives when you find free time outside of work it feels like you escaped prison. A Facebook post I had a few years ago I said “you know, life on this planet isn’t all that bad when you think about it, it’s actually amazing and beautiful outside of those 8 hours of work!”. Think about that. So here we are with access to unlimited information in the palm of our hands, but it’s the information that’s stored inside of you that’s far greater than any Google search. I strongly think that if the internet age never came along and we just smoothly continued from the 90’s that our spiritual knowledge and mental health would be insanely advanced right now. It would be so state of the art that if someone from 3000 years ago time traveled to present time they would look around and say “extra terrestrials must have flown down and shown you!”

It’s real difficult to accomplish spiritual growth on this planet because all we do is labor for worthless paper money. Our whole lives down here revolves 100% around our careers. I had a hard time finding time to balance everything in the beginning, but I do understand the attraction of the 3rd dimension in how it can catapult our souls into a higher awakening because earth challenges are so rewarding. I get it now though, spiritual advancement comes in many forms. Something as simple as lending a helping hand to someone who needs it or listening to a person with a open heart or sending a thank you message out of the blue to a person you know is worth more than any amount of money. Earth is so powerful because of the emotions felt that only can be experienced in a human body. We just don’t get that up there in the 5th, loving energy oh yes we do! Love comes easy up there because there’s no egos, there’s no jealousy, there’s no sadness. But it’s the challenge to feel love, to smile, to listen and to laugh when encountering Earth’s adversities. That’s the test. It’s one heck of a playground down here, but my God you have to enjoy the ride because you’re here by choice with a whole team of pure loving spirits supporting your every move.

If you can thrive here on Earth, you can make it anywhere. If you can grow as an individual and try to be of service to animals, people and nature in between a full time career that will consume just about your whole life, then you’ll get the real passing grade on the test of life, not a test on paper judged by a teacher.


Time Traveling with no Clocks

Picture your life without any clocks, completely subtract the concept of time.
Imagine the planet everything exactly how it is now in 2025, no changes except that numerical time does not exist. The Earth still spins, the sun still rises, and the birds still sing.

Now what if I told you “time is moving faster” and I don’t mean the hands on the clock are moving at a quicker speed than before. Because remember time does not exist. What I mean by saying that is (life is moving faster) not time.

What you are experiencing is 20 years of life now packed into 2 years. Three lifetimes condensed into one. More experiences means more soul development. Everything has been accelerated. The pace of life that our grandparents lived at does not translate in this era. That’s old technology. You can’t put a car engine from the 1960’s into a 2025 hybrid model. Newer technology always becomes lighter, faster and more efficient.

The stakes are much higher, but we can handle it because we are also healthier and more developed than people of 70 years ago so we have the capacity to handle the acceleration of life. This is why “time” feels faster.

You can also apply this logic to spiritual technology. Never has there been a better time in the 3rd dimension than this current period for individuals to grow spiritually. If you take in consideration what I outlined in the paragraphs above with time acceleration, combined with healthy outlets in every neighborhood worldwide for people to have access to natural resources, meditation and wellness activities you will see this is our time for humans to really kick into gear.

This was ignited in 2012. The Mayans somehow knew this thousands of years ago. Humans got caught up in translating Mayan predictions into end-of-the-world paranoia. That might make for a good Hollywood movie or a catchy news headline. The truth of it is, is that the Mayans predicted not the “end of the world” but the end to the old way of living.


The Weight of Your Own Aura

There have been some intriguing times in my life that I have felt the weight of my own Aura. These days we use terminology like “raising your vibration” when it relates to feeling lighter after a cleansing of some sort. You moved or shifted energy so there was a release, hence feeling lighter. “Lowering your vibration” relates to stuck energy which could result in feeling tired, dragged down or uninspired. So even though we can’t see the Aura with our limited human eye vision, there are ways we can feel it through personal moments that life hands to us.

When I was in my early 20’s I was working for a contractor in the trades. One of my coworkers was a couple years older than me and we spent those early years working together on different job sites. After some time he moved on to a better job opportunity in the same field while I stayed with same company. In the contracting trades you tend to work on ladders a lot, scaffolding, booms, scissor lifts and steep hillsides so everyday brings you a new challenge. My fellow coworker was a on job site that had 5 levels of scaffolding, he was on the the highest level when he slipped and fell to his death. He was 25 years old, just married and had 2 daughters. He was from a small town in my area, played football in high school and was very well known around town so it struck the community quite hard.

I attended his funeral that was held in the biggest church the town had. The whole church was crowded with people standing up due to there not being any open spots to sit. There were about 100 people in that church and with this tragic passing of the young man every single person in the building was sad, crying and had a heavy heart. I was in the mix of the crowd sitting on one of the benches. I was young myself back then, I didn’t quite know how to articulate my thoughts as to what I was sensing like I do now, but I was still able to feel and see maybe a bit more deeply than others. What I felt that day has always stuck with me. As people went up to the church podium to speak and honor the passing, I began to feel something. I felt so much pressure on my shoulders that it startled me. I kept looking over to my left and then to my right and behind me because it seriously felt like someone in back of me was placing their hands on my shoulders. The thing is nobody was there touching me. I understood what was going on when I thought about it on the drive home. With a room filled with 100 people all in sadness the weight of the room got thick and heavy due to so much sadness lowing the vibration. I felt it in my Aura that day, with Auras it’s more of a magnetic sensation rather than the actual physical touch that we normally feel.

10 years after this incident something like it happened again that was similar but in a totally different scenario. I use to have a 50 minute commute to work driving into the neighboring county. On my drive home I would start to notice that I was nodding off. It was extremely frustrating because I kept asking myself what’s wrong? Can I really be that tired? The feeling of nodding off for split second and then catching myself and shaking my head to wake up is scary. I wouldn’t say I was tired, if I can put into words I felt heavy. It felt almost exactly like it did that day in church at my friends funeral years ago. The Aura was worn out and quite possibly clogged. This heavy feeling during this particular time period in my life along with a few other happenings catapulted me into a life altering diet change. My energetic field was heavy due to my awful eating habits creating a low vibration. Again when I say heavy, I’m not talking in weight I’m describing energy. I felt the pressure of my own Aura and the pressure was draining my energy so much it was making me fall asleep during the day, a signal of some sorts for me to make a change? When I look back on it I think I was lucky enough to acknowledge my own personal senses and realize something was seriously off. This was in my construction days, way before my spiritual and meditation path. If I didn’t make the diet change I would not have gone down the road of becoming a sound healer. My body would not have been tuned up and ready for this type of work. That’s why I say something was trying to send me a message and give me a wake up call. Always fascinating how life events can line up for you when you analyze it later in life, but you can see by these examples how vibrations, energy and frequencies are so much more than new age terms if you closely pay attention.


My First Book Report Was a Calling

When I was in Elementary School I’ll never forget the first big book report that was assigned to us. I think it was around 4th grade, so this was one of the first steps in showing how our reading skills have developed. The teacher told the classroom that she was going to take us to the school library and then we would have to choose one book, any book we wanted for the report. I remember being in that library, the tall shelves filled almost to the ceiling and the calmness of being in such a quiet place. I walked the aisles, feeling a little bit of pressure due to my uncertainty of this important choice. In a room filled with thousands of books, I was led to one and that book was “Portrait in Motion” The Arthur Ashe Diary. Looking back at that moment in my life, now that I’m a grown adult I can reflect on how and why that particular book unknowingly called me.

I love hearing a persons journey, especially a journey of one who rises through hardships and the roller coaster ride we experience here on Earth. I can’t get enough of it, it’s the fuel to my engine. Reading books of fantasy or fiction is a waste of time for me and I knew it at that age. I’m a bit of a soul philosopher, after this current incarnation I have a gut feeling I’ll be a soul counselor on the other side. I can feel it in my core. As I grew up I continued to read nothing but biographies. I want to hear peoples’ story from beginning to end. From where they were born to how they passed and everything in between through the failures and to the accomplishments.

Now that I’m in adulthood and far removed from book reports, I need something new that will awaken my soul. So now I read obituaries and I listen to NDE’s (near death experiences). I love reading the obituary section of the newspaper. Why you may ask? It highlight’s someone’s complete life in a positive light. So when I read an obituary, I get a sense of radiating love, positivity, accomplishments, hobbies and interests they had, how long they were married, how many children, where they went to college and what they did for a career. It’s a super condensed format to showcase a person’s whole life in the same way that a Life Review is composed. As I read an Obituary the imagery of this person’s life flows through me like reading a biography would or how a life review is projected out like a movie. These similarities is what gets me! That brings out the soul counselor deep in my emotional roots. If there’s a photo of the person who passed to go along with the write up and the person in the photo is smiling, a wave of love fills my body.

Here’s an excerpt from an obituary I recently read to give you an example:

Darlene 1955-2025

“In her community, Darlene was a cherished presence, dedicating her time and energy to enriching the lives of seniors. Her incredible sense of humor and caring nature brought light and laughter to those around her. Loyal and ever-curious, she was a friend who listened deeply and a companion who inspired others to see the world with fresh eyes. A lover of animals, she befriended all animals from wild seagulls to stray cats. She nursed many animals back to health and loved all the animals she adopted with her whole heart.”

When you read something like this and consume it, your heart really opens up even if it’s for a complete stranger. There’s deep senses inherently inside us, about the other side, reincarnation, angels, spirits and life beyond our time here on Earth and I feel like reading about a person’s life sparks all those loving yet spiritual emotions. That was the magnetic pull when I was 8 years old standing in that school library leading me to read about Arthur Ashe’s life for my first book report.


Let There Be Light

During the summer months, quite the natural light display takes place inside the studio space. This happens in the early morning hours around 8:00 AM when the sun light beams through a very small window and aims straight towards a group of clear quartz crystals that are standing on a table. Not only is the window small, but it also has a drape covering three-quarters of it. For the Sun to shine at this angle, through the small opening and strike directly on to the focal point of crystals is quite remarkable and breathtaking to see in-person. In a way, it makes you think of mysterious structures of the past.

Ancient cultures all around the world built temples or placed stones to coincide with the Sun’s alignment and specifically for one day of the year that is Summer Solstice. Some famous ones you might be familiar with are Stonehenge, Machu Picchu in Peru and the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Was it used as a calendar, observatory, portal, a spiritual significance of some sort? The crystal light reflection in the studio is sheer luck, however cultures from thousands of years ago seemed to have vast knowledge on how to construct their temples to align with the sun with uncanny precision.

So what happens when Sunlight is not shining into the studio, when the drapes are shut and it’s just you and the crystals inside the room? The human eye can only see a certain segment of visible light so at times we’re a bit limited to what our vision can detect. I’m sure if you’re reading this you probably subscribe to the idea that are we are light beings, our soul is a illuminating light driven by energy centers anchored by rays of color that you might refer to as chakras. The sunlight reflection bouncing off the tips of crystals and colors scattered around the walls gives you a visual presentation of what might be happening when our bodies are in the space of crystals or out in direct sunlight. I say that because white light is a combination of wavelengths and all the colors together. So you see the direct connection I’m drawing to you between our soul spirits and the sun. These photos taken inside the office this time of year give you imagery of what our eyesight can’t regularly see.

My Big Plan that Didn’t Work

When I got started in this field, doing group sessions was not in my plans. It was essentially just working on individuals only. I thought that’s what a sound healing was. For one, sound baths in a group setting were not poplar back in 2016 so there was no demand for it. And two, the little office space that I first leased only had enough room for 1 person to lay on a massage table. However reflecting back on those early years it shaped and molded my whole career to what it is now. Which is more focused on vibrational medicine and all the layers that are connected to healing the body through a meditative state.

As time went on the popularity of group sessions started to gain momentum around the world. The wellness center that I was a part of and was also instrumental in my development in my early years asked me to team up with a fellow practitioner member who worked with tuning forks to do a public event that’s open to all. At first I was reluctant because I didn’t know how to do a group session. The thought of it didn’t excite me. The owner of the center pushed to make this particular event happen because she had a hunch that people would really show up for it and this would sell tickets. Her vision was right, over 25 people attended.

The concept of group sessions was so foreign to me and to the tuning fork person that we met for lunch weeks beforehand to sit down and strategize on how to conduct this event. We talked and took notes on various ideas on incorporating singing bowls and tuning forks together. Ultimately what we did was take turns alternating back and forth for 5 minute intervals. So our styles and approach would match we came up with the idea of only hitting one instrument at a time and then leading a guided meditation while that tone filled the room. People really connected to this style and we got great feedback. My opinion on group sessions then changed and I was now open to doing them more regularly.

The next event I did at the wellness center was a solo offering. My first event all by myself with my name and face smack dab on the front headlining the flyer. Back at a time when sound baths were not part of the scene I had no choice but to be creative on how to make my collection of singing bowls an attractive experience for a group of about 20 people. Since my roots were planted from Meditation exercises, I came up with a new concept to incorporate Meditation and sound together, similar to what we did with tuning forks but a grander strategy. So what I did was print out a beautiful poster sized landscape photo that had captured mountains, grass, the Sun and flowers blooming. The whole color spectrum radiated in one photo and displayed Mother Nature in it’s true essence. I wanted to lead a Meditation through the different aspects of this photo and then strike a tone from one of my singing bowls. I had everyone study and take a good look at the photo that hung in front of the room so it was visually placed in their minds. Then we all closed our eyes and I lead the Meditation taking individual colors one by one from green of the grass or the blue of the sky and then moving the colors in a harmonic fashion while a beautiful tone filled the space. I would walk the attendees through this technique taking fragments of the landscape photo then having them visually direct the colors to the body or in the direction of the Earth, for healing purposes.

My vision was to have 20 people all simultaneously synchronized together in a meditative state and all moving energy in a united wave. This by no means is a sound bath where you just show up, lay down and listen to different instruments. This was an event where you really participate as a team. My thinking behind this is having 20 human bodies working together creates more current, more voltage. So if someone in the room had an illness in the lungs, we’re developing a technique to help heal the illness or for Earth’s sake to help Gaia, earth’s spirit keeper. 20 people all with a focused intention like a person’s lungs I think can help. Let’s not underestimate the power us humans have. The Arcturians are now incorporating this style with us during specific channelings to assist in Gaia’s severe weather. So when fire season breaks out they are essentially trying to train us to meditate together in big groups to amplify the intention of interacting with Gaia when weather gets harsh. This is a prequel I think of what’s to grow in the coming years.

I believe remnants of this type of approach will have a place in the future when the time is right. For the time it took place in 2016, I’m telling you this event flopped big time. When the session was over everyone just got up and walked out. Usually people will chit chat or calmly get up to soak it all in. Some might privately say a few words to me describing what they felt and shake hands. I felt isolated on an island when things wrapped up. I could feel the energy, it was like a comedian telling a joke on stage and nobody laughs. It’s a cold feeling. Nobody got it, nobody connected with it and I bombed.

Why did it fail? I think maybe the attendance was not expecting this and it threw everyone off guard. I also think people just want to lay down and relax for an hour. This event had people sitting in chairs and it required a good deal of participation. Even though it failed, I have zero regrets. A united meditation holds a place in the future, I know it does. What happened here does not sway my opinion on that. This concept that I came up with for this event was purely from the heart and was so innocent. I was unknown at that time and was very green in the sound healing field with zero expectations. I would relate this to a band maybe writing their big hits in a garage before the records deals and world tours. Not that I’m a remotely a rock star by any means, but those early years for an artist are you when the truest creativity can show.


My All Time Favorite Movie Is…

My all time favorite #1 movie is Defending Your Life. A film that came out in 1991 featuring Meryl Streep and Albert Brooks. I remember seeing it as a kid on cable TV on a weekend afternoon. I was a young teenager watching this movie and it pulled me in to be glued to the screen with a similar sensation to Deja Vu flowing through my body. Although at the time I’ve never seen this movie before, the subject matter felt just so familiar that it gave me a bit of a out of body experience because my subconscious was activated while watching.

So what is this movie about and what makes it so special? Check out the description: “Daniel Miller (Albert Brooks) isn’t having a good week. For starters, he died after he got hit by a bus. Then he discovers that in the afterlife he must defend his actions on Earth in order to ascend to a higher plane of existence. While awaiting judgment, he falls in love with Julia (Meryl Streep), whose near-perfect life on Earth seemingly makes her a shoe-in for ascension. However, Daniel’s actions in his lifetime might not be enough for him to move on.”

For us spiritual folks, how’s that overview sound to you? I’ve never seen a movie show the stages of what happens when we pass. It displays comedy and spirituality to a perfectly executed balance. It has life reviews, past-life information, spiritual counselors, Akashic records, fear, judgment, self-reflection, love and an all you can diet when we get back up there! Although the movie doesn’t use terms like “spiritual counseling or spirit guides” it shows them in a court setting with lawyers and judges all gathering to analyze Albert Brooks’ life. The lawyers choose specific clips of Albert’s life to show in court which is displayed on a projector screen. Just like Akashic, our lives are all being recorded and these lawyers can bring up the date and time of precise life events to decide if we are ready to ascend based on our actions in this incarnation. In spiritual terms there’s the understanding of a “life review” so you can see how similar this movie feels when you watch and it how familiar it all feels.

Albert Brooks wrote this movie and he just nails it. He did it subconsciously. This actually is very common for humans to do. You can see it in books, movies, music, architecture, engineering, technology, paintings and so much more. It often goes unrecognized, but our memories and past-life skills get incorporated into our time here. In the right settings humans can be so creative, so smart in the development of technology amongst a wide range of many other talents that at times you have to really step back and respect it to the highest degree.

For the sake of this article, here are my top 5 all time favorite movies:

Defending Your Life
The Revenant
SlumDog Millionaire
Stand By Me
American Beauty


Drowning in Negativity

I really observe the characteristics of the 3rd dimension because I’m fascinated by it. It feels like I’m studying this planet and the psyche of humans. The land of duality, we have positive and negative. You know the old saying “bad news travels fast” that sure is true isn’t it? Negativity seems to gain more traction here. People tend to gravitate towards negative emotions, unhealthy habits, gossipy headlines and conversations overall are more enthusiastic when there’s something bad to talk about. If you want to kill a conversation just express some good news, watch the dialogue fizzle out within seconds. Got some bad news or want to talk trash about someone? Well now you’re going to be on the phone for a good hour sipping tea fully engaged in an exciting chitchat.

There’s millions of more money to be made with this draw to negativity. In Sonoma County the wine and brewery industry is at the top of the list. Every year the most popular brewery here releases its limited edition IPA that is famous around the world. With its Spring release people camp out in front of the store at least 24 hours ahead of time with chairs and tents on concrete through the night waiting to get their hands on this special beer. The line for this beer goes for blocks and they always make a good segment out of it on Bay Area news stations doing the typical street interviews. All for what? Camping out on the street for a drink that kills you? Listen, nobody and I mean nobody is going sit in line in the cold of the night to camp out for a green smoothie. Unhealthy habits are just more profitable.

The music industry knows exactly what they are doing to generate record sales. There’s major record labels and there’s independent record labels. I’m more in tune with hip hop so I can see directly what this game is. Gangster rap, which talks about drugs, guns, jail and degrading women is great for the major records. They are in the business of making money so they know what people will buy. You might not know it, but there is uplifting rap music out there. Some might call it “conscious rap” and that sub genre of hip hop gets shoveled down to the smaller independent record labels because making songs of positive subject matter doesn’t appeal to the bigger audience.

A couple years ago of friend of mine posted a bit of a spicy hot take that criticized someone in the wellness field. This was out of character of her. All of her previous Facebook posts were positive-mannered which drew in a few likes. The moment she posted a topic of controversy there was 20-30 comments and engagement was at an all time high. People were so drawn to it, there’s the gravitational pull that humans go to like a bears to honey. I told her to delete the post. “That’s not you” was my reasoning. Getting a social media dopamine fix through negative actions just doesn’t sit right, you’ll feel it when the high of the dopamine wears off.

So unfortunately anything negative in this world gains more steam. Bad news does travel fast and the good news well, you might have to go searching for it. The healthier products, the clean way of eating, the uplifting music all are not going to be in the mainstream flow of our lifestyle. This is the 3rd dimension.
