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 #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

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.

Spirit guides are the unsung heroes of the Universe. They have got to be the most overlooked and under appreciated beings that get pretty much zero credit for the work that they do. There is no physical proof of Spirit Guides, however I know deep down you know they are here. You know you have help of a higher power, you can feel it I know you do. They are listening to you, watching you and simply around to help you. By all means we need assistance down here. The 3rd dimension is tough grounds which requires literally a team for every single individual incarnated here.

It takes a lot to pull an incarnation off. The amount of strategic planning that goes into this before even coming here and the supporting cast of higher spirits that are helping us. I’ve heard from channeled readings that each of us has in the range of 2 to 10 spirit guides. If we need that much assistance, I’m going to go ahead and assume we are in muddy waters here in the 3rd dimension.

The amount of planning ahead of time that we all pre-planned or pre-destined comes with sitting down with spiritual counselors and mapping out our whole lives here. Of course that’s to a certain degree. This is the dimension of free will so there are variables and movements within our plans. Not every single move we make over the course of 80 years can be perfectly scripted, that’s impossible with how many variables there are. We choose our parents and roughly the location to which we are born.

It’s thick, dense and muddy here. I mean for a light being it is. Each of us are radiating beings of light, but it’s so dark and polarizing on Earth that we only have the stamina to stay awake for about 16 hours. That sure is drawing a lot of juice from our batteries. There’s a magnetic pull that your Aura is subject to. Situations, health and other people dictate how much current is being drawn. Just like when you watch a video on your phone it eats up more battery life as opposed to just scrolling on a website. A real life comparison to that would be if you are at a social gathering in a room full of 30 people, that’s like watching a video on your phone – more amperage, more data is being used. Deep calmness or meditative state is a slow steady current barely using battery life.

The good news is that it’s a level playing field here. Everyone and I mean everyone is equal dealing with same parameters of the 3rd dimension. Society makes you think one who has more material wealth than the other person makes them better. How so? You really think because someone who makes 400k a year with a house in the hills is better than a Walmart employee making minimum wage? Explain it to the Spirit Guides I’m sure they will get a kick out of it.

I recently saw a video from a famous YouTube creator who did a test on homeless and wealthy people. What he did was dress up and act as if he’s homeless and broke. He was in the street asking people for spare change. So he would be at a gas station and walk up to a person fueling their luxury car and ask them for money. These folks got enraged, told him “go get a job loser, get of here or else”. He then did the same approach to homeless people on the street whom themselves were on the corner begging for change. What was the difference? How did another homeless person act when someone asks them for money? I kid you not, whatever amount of change they had in the cup, these homeless people were willing to hand out and give. No yelling, no enragement, no name calling. They seemed so happy and at ease, greeting with a smile. One lady responded “take whatever you want to try and get you something to eat, I know God is with me that’s all I need” So in the end the YouTube creator rewarded the homeless people with $1000 in cash. It was test to see how people respond in these interactions with the homeless. This is a great example of what being “wealthy” is. Your spirit guides are watching tallying up your value based on kindness not paper money.

This is really interesting. The image on the right is something I drew up last month and the image on the left is a crop circle. It was supposed to be for my own personal use, just to put the visuals in my head on paper.

So what is the drawing? It’s many things! It’s the collection of several famous geometric shapes all perfectly synced into one another. Shapes like the Yin & Yang symbol, The Flower of Life, Metatron’s Cube, the Infinity symbol and a few more. So if someone asks me “do you work with people’s Chakras?” I would say yes, but there’s so much more to it than that. The Aura, the soul, the spirit is multi-dimensional and understanding the depths of these shapes can really give us more knowledge of ourselves and our direct connection to the universe.

So the drawing represents 2 things for me personally. It’s the blueprint that I use when performing vibrational medicine, but it’s also the footprint for the crystal grid inside the studio space. The studio has 4 main pivotal crystal points and those are seen in the drawing by the four blue-colored dots around the outside border.

The photo of the crop circle is an image I stumbled upon randomly while studying shapes of crop circles. The images are almost identical. I honestly had no knowledge of the crop circle image. Never have seen that before, so it’s fascinating that my blueprint drawing that I developed happens to have remnants of this particular crop circle. Like I stated in the previous blog about “What is Gaia?” it comes down to three main components: Shapes, colors and sound. Exploring these topics in the future will give us answers to our past.

A subject that’s fascinating to me is “time” and it’s something I’ve been closely monitoring lately. Specifically the concept that time is possibly moving faster, but how is that even possible? We are consumed by time with clocks, watches, and scheduling. At school or at work everything we do daily is precisely driven by time. 

They have even said in recent years that our attention spans are now shorter. I agree with that because we are eerily tightly woven with electronics and technology. Smartphones and computers have created a more fast-paced world for us. So even though you are sitting in a chair staring at a screen not moving, the content and information you are consuming through the screen is coming at you fast. Just about every other move we make these days is influenced digitally. Swipe, click, read. When you put into action these three movements your brain is moving at a rapid pace which in turn has tweaked our attention span. 

Can you believe they actually changed the historic game of baseball and bent the rules to force the pitcher to throw the ball within 15 seconds? There’s now a pitch clock! The game has to move faster in this era to accommodate our attention. Baseball rules are like the Constitution – forever ingrained into America and don’t just change. So for them to add a pitch clock to move the game faster is an incredible sign of the times. In NBA Games when a player shoots free throws the TV broadcast squeezes in advertisements in between the players shots. Just like a baseball pitcher, there’s apparently too much time of dead space I guess? Which again shows you stillness is hard to come by these days with waves of information overwhelming us. Even songs are now shorter. In years past typically the standard is for a song to be 4 minutes in length. Now songs are 2 to 3 minutes. Again, another example of how “time” is moving shorter and faster. 

When I was a young kid in the 80’s I can remember my grandpa’s house vividly. I would go hang out there in the summer days while he watched me. His house was so quiet. He had a TV, but it was never on. The only noise that would fill up the house was a real tall grandfather clock with the pendulum swinging back and forth and hourly bells ringing. For entertainment we would play board games like checkers, Connect 4, or card games like goldfish. The pace of life at that time was slow and quiet with no distractions. The mind was working naturally, our thoughts were pure without being consumed by being engulfed with electronic devices. When I sat at the dining room table for lunch waiting for him to make my favorite tuna fish sandwich, there would be phases of silence and this was perfectly comfortable. No TV, no phones, no computers. There was however the newspaper, magazines or books in his house. Specifically Britannica Encyclopedias! These days we can Google anything in the world within 10 seconds and seek the answers. With Encyclopedias it was a slow process compared to our current way of life. But it was healthy because we were exercising our whole thought process more naturally. Just the simple act of flipping the pages of a newspaper compared to swiping on a phone seems so comforting to brain activity because of the slower pace. 

When we factor “time” into all this I think we can all agree that it sure feels like it’s currently moving faster. What I mean is the clock hands are not rotating more rapidly, but our perception of time is moving exponentially faster due to the lifestyle of the technology age. Let me add another layer to this. We have over 7 billion people populating the planet, so that means there are billions of people’s lives all plugged into technology. WE ARE ALL MOVING FAST. We are literally part human, part artificial intelligence at this point. As a human race, as a collective consciousness we are all strung together. We have one foot on earth and one foot in the digital world and this I believe is the cause of our perception of time feeling faster.

“Gaia” small word with a big meaning. Quite possibly the most important subject for us as humans to understand. In short, Gaia is Mother Nature. What if I told you Gaia is a spirit and a consciousness that can give and receive information based on human actions. We are interacting with a living planet. When you want to communicate with Gaia or when she communicates with us, you can always rely on the language of these 3 things: Shapes, color and sound. Let me take a small excerpt from Quan Yin and how she describes it: “Gaia, an entity of great light offered to embody the physical manifestation called Earth with her essence. She became the living guardian and host of everything on, and in it, embracing the role of Earth Mother”

As soon as you step outdoors, everything is alive. Some of it we can see with the naked eye and some of it we can’t. In the movie Avatar part 1 they really bring to life the outdoor landscape visually with fluorescent colors to the plants and trees. For a movie, this might make it easier to the appeasing eye. In the scene where Jake and Neytiri meet in the forest and the white light bugs land on Jake he asks Neytiri “what are these?” Her response is “those are seeds from the sacred tree, they are very pure spirits.” Here on Earth, Gaia is the same exact thing. Gaia is a very pure spirit. Take away the movie effects and CGI editing you’ll see Gaia is just as colorful if not more. Her movements are in alignment and responsive to humans actions. It is up to us in what we see and what we interpret in our connection to nature.

Let me give you another visual example. Have you ever seen the shows Blue Planet or Planet Earth on BBC narrated by David Attenborough? I think these shows are important because they allow you to see the planet functioning (without) human involvement. The breathtaking footage is based solely on animals and nature. The wonderful camera visuals they capture covers animals adapting to their specific climates, but also how animals and nature are one synchronized unit. Water, land and air animals all are precisely intertwined directly with Gaia’s heartbeat. How does climate affect animals and how do animals affect the climate? I believe this show is the single best thing you could watch that demonstrates the many layers of Gaia.

When you look at birds, they inherently know how to travel through the globe. They instinctively have knowledge of Earth’s ley lines/meridian’s and use them to find direction as if they have a all knowing internal compass. Last year I was working on a job site out in the country and I noticed different flocks of birds flying directly over the property in a unified shape as if it were a runway for them. When I looked up at the birds in awe day after day, it just felt like this is too exact to be a coincidence.

What is Gaia? It’s spiders designing webs that have mathematical proportions. How do spiders instinctively know how to make shapes? A moment I will never forget happened a few years ago when I was in my yard. I looked over and saw a beautiful spider web about 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide hanging in between two plants. It stopped me dead in my tracks because as I stared at it I noticed it was practically a hexagon with a circle directly in the middle. I mean this web had geometrical knowledge to it in the way it was constructed! Now that is what I call Gaia!

Now you could say “Jesse, so what you’re essentially saying is Gaia is basically Earth’s ecosystem? My response would be: Yes, but I’m bringing forth some unique examples that have expanded my own personal interpretation of Earth. Plants, animals, weather and landscape all work together globally as one to form life, but what we never talk about is humanity’s role in the ecosystem of Gaia. Just like when the sacred white light bugs landed on Jake, the forest was responding to him because he was pure spirit.

So what happens when humans create an imbalance with Gaia? How would she respond? In this era are we are living in now, this is the most polluted the planet has ever been. Humans are Gaia’s most harmful threat. Not because it’s over populated, rather it’s being misused. Cutting down trees, clearing thousands of acres of land to make room for cities, industry, farming and housing has an effect. Gaia moderates the health of the ecosystem and we can see it through her weather patterns or through the health of animal life. We know that polluting the planet affects climate change, what we might not fully grasp is how Mother Nature reacts to being injured or how connected the spirit of the Earth and humans truly are

Here’s a quote from David Attenborough to conclude this article:

“Our planet, the Earth, is, as far as we know, unique in the universe. It contains life. Even in its most barren stretches, there are animals. Around the equator, where those two essentials for life, sunshine and moisture, are most abundant, great forests grow. And here plants and animals proliferate in such numbers that we still have not even named all the different species. Here, animals and plants, insects and birds, mammals and man live together in intimate and complex communities, each dependent on one another. Two-thirds of the surface of this unique planet are covered by water, and it was here indeed that life began. From the oceans, it has spread even to the summits of the highest mountains as animals and plants have responded to the changing face of the Earth.”

This Meditation is kids friendly. I envision it being narrated by a parent to their kids or a teacher to the students. Narrate at a easy slow pace.

Laying down or sitting in a chair, It’s all up to you and what makes everyone comfortable. (It’s most important that wherever you choose to meditate that it’s generally quiet.)

This guided meditation is intended to illuminate love emotions from the heart with comforting words that young kids can relate to and learn the beginning steps of visualization. Also to give them the ground work of becoming familiar interacting with their inner voice.

• Close your eyes and sit still for 60 seconds.
• After 60 seconds take a nice, slow, gentle deep breath 😌
• Picture being outside in the Sun 🌞☀️
• Think about your parents being right there with you outside in the sunlight ❤️
• Feel the warmth of the Sun hitting your body.
• Picture your (pet or pets) 🐈 🦮 together with you and your parents.
• What do you like to do outside when you are enjoying a nice sunny day? Think about your best friends and playing your favorite games with them. Laughing, smiling and having fun with each other.
• With your inner voice, say it to yourself so nobody hears it but you: “Mommy I love you/Daddy I love you”.
• What are some of your favorite animals? A tiger 🐅 a elephant 🐘 a dolphin 🐬 a eagle 🦅 a butterfly 🦋? Use your imagination and picture your most favorite animals.
“Now feel your heartbeat” (pause for 10-15 seconds) after saying this to the child/children.
• Your heartbeat vibrates at a steady pace synchronized with your breathing ☯️
• Now picture a rainbow 🌈 of light and colors shining bright and centered at your heart 💚
• Pick your favorite color from the rainbow 🌈
• Which color do you see?
• Sunlight gives us energy, strength and health. It gives life to all the people around the whole entire world 🌎 and to all of Mother Nature.
• The trees 🌳 the plants 🌱the birds 🐦 the animals🐒 the mountains  the ocean 🌊 all share loving energy together from colors that shine from the Sun 🌞
• Mother Earth, animals and all humans are united together through love and positive light.
• Pause for 15-20 seconds here and 1 more gentle deep breath to conclude.

Ask the kids what animal did they see? Which color did they see? Let them express their words as they just might share a lot more.

After a meditation is over, sometimes do you think, “My mind was racing, I couldn’t quiet my thoughts”?

Being that I’m in this particular practice, I hear that come up once in a while with people. It could be that certain situations are weighing on you whether it’s work related or personal. When I hear someone say, “My mind was racing, all I could think about was work” – the person tends to express it as if it was let down.

Maybe the person’s expectations were to have a full-blown psychic past life multi-dimensional visualization reading, but I’m here to assure you that if you do think about work or family during a meditation then that is actually a good thing. During the time period of a deep calmness, there is no wrong way to think. The mind is not “racing” it’s working, it’s active. You are activating your core self which is the purest of angelic light. You have to trust in what your body is producing during a deep calmness. Let me give you an example: A lady that attended a session at the studio explained to me after the session was over that her mother is severely ill and that she’s in the hospital all the way across the country. This was of course a big concern for the client. I wanted to outline a couple things to her.

You inherently and naturally produce positive results, it’s in our genetics. Meaning even though she was feeling the worry of her mothers illness, when grounded into a fluent calmness her thought projection instinctively awakened the heart emotion. So she visited her mother’s hospital room telepathically. It’s like wishing someone well when they are sick. You could be hundreds of miles apart, but you are thought projecting about them praying for a healthy outcome. The only difference is during a meditation session you are hoping and praying with an distinctive purpose. So you might say, “Ah I couldn’t quiet my mind, my mom’s illness is really concerning me and I couldn’t stop thinking about her during the session.”

And I say, “Job well done, you did GREAT. I’m willing to bet your mother felt your loving presence in her hospital room.”

This is why I feel that thinking during a deep calmness about something that’s weighing on you is absolutely a good thing! By all means it’s not a let-down in fact it’s actually very effective on many levels.

Now with a “destination” – you can emotionally or visually go to a hospital room as I outlined earlier. You can easily telepathically travel to anywhere where you like. A portion of the guided meditation I do at the studio during a session is I’ll tell someone to, “Go to a outdoor environment that holds special memories.”

In some cases the person will travel back in time to a childhood memory where a meaningful landscape location holds a connection within them. That’s an example of going to a destination, which is extremely effective because now you are traveling back in time, seeing and feeling with your higher soul self. Your view, your vision, your consciousness is illuminated during this window of concentration which leads to a healthy response inside you. I believe this footprint of approach will hold its place in mental/emotional health in future years to come. The body heals itself, the medicine is already inside of us.
