SOUND ON 🔈 Alanis Morrisette @alanis on
CHAKRAS and Human Shift
I don't always get a chance to talk about chakras, energetics, causal, and etheric, so I was really excited to talk to you. My intention is not to freak people out, but I do care about articulating things in a way that people can understand. I've been using my knowledge of the chakras since I was eight and I love the idea of being aware of energy centers. Learning about the healing arts around the planet is the greatest rabbit hole of all time.
I'm excited that Human Shift exists, that there is a magazine dedicated to the whole picture of humanity, seen and unseen. I don't think there's enough attention placed on the unseen, because awareness and consciousness has often been so co-opted by religion. How can we be soulful and have a sense of connection with humanity, despite our individuality? Being invited to participate in this with you just felt like a perfectly timed gift. I live for that, the blend of psychology and spirituality, because I want to have the whole picture of what it is to be here. I'm quite aware that I am a peon and that I'm only grokking my opinions, and that is only one one-millionth of what is possible for us. Hopefully, in this lifetime, I'll graduate from A to B and maybe C. I like to think we are all on this cycle of continued evolution, but without a destination other than realizing this is the dream, this is the play, this is the awareness. It's some subtle stuff. It can be helpful. But it's an ongoing practice of inquiry, constantly researching. Just the millions of ways that we can express ourselves is just so exciting. It's limitless.

SOUND ON 🔊 Figure skater @elladjbalde
- on breaking the mold, being a voice and all things 5th chakra.
When I started to make connections between my experiences in figure skating and racism. It became my mission to break that mold, to appreciate the power that I could have in the skating community by being a voice for people who have been voiceless in this sport, or who have not been able to be part of this sport because of race. The color of my skin always made me feel like I wasn't enough and that I was never going to be enough in skating. So, I focused on supporting others’ journeys to find the courage to express themselves.

@alanis on Feeling EXPRESSED - SOUND ON 🔈
The mandatory requirement for me is to feel ongoingly expressed, and it’s really just me being responsible for the current of energy that courses through me at this particular speed. We're all humans who are filters, and the current of energy that animates us runs through us all at different speeds. We just have to know the speed at which it moves. That speed can be quite overwhelming sometimes.

SOUND - element - chakra 5
Our universe was created by a big bang, but some say it sounded more like a deep hum than an explosion. According to the Bible, sound was also the kickoff for God’s creative work. In the beginning, there was the word.
Sound is truly a force to be reckoned with, yet we seem to reduce sound to just the audible information we are able to take in through our ears.
The ancient Egyptians knew how to use vowel sounds to activate energy centers in the body, and Gregorian and Tibetan monks have been utilizing the high-frequency sounds of overtones for eons. It has been scientifically proven that sound can move objects and that ultra-sonics (very high pitched sounds) can be used in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine.
There are myriad ways of connecting with and benefitting from healing frequencies.
In issue 5 @human_shift we present a selection of people who have dedicated their lives to making sound, vibrations, and mind altering music accessible to humankind. They guide us in the art of active listening, navigating mystical and magical connections through mantra, overtone, binaural beats, and vibroacoustics. Sometimes it’s as simple as putting down our phones, closing our eyes and really tuning into the subtle fields of vibration around us, wherever we happen to be: hearing birds singing, listening to an album from start to finish, without doing anything else, or touching a wall and feeling its vibration.
These visionary sound mavens awaken our consciousness, just like sound does. We think sound is where it’s at: the future of healing.

@ninagualinga - On extractive industries and LIES:
Growing up in Sarayaku, I had no idea about the
threats of extractive industries or the government. I didn't know that we were going through such a big time of loss until companies came to my community to extract oil. My community refused this, and the government and
oil companies, did not respect our decision. The government
militarized the community, people were threatened and persecuted. That was the moment I remember really clearly. There was this big meeting in my community and
this guy from the oil company came and talked about all
the benefits that the oil industry would bring.
I knew he was lying. As a child, even though I didn't really understand
Spanish and my mother was translating for me, I
could feel that he was lying.

EMERALD - THE STONE OF MAGICIANS
Emerald improves the ability to see, like a magician standing between the forces of dark and light, at times using the darkness to access the light. This stone encourages us to live with presence, to enjoy life while creating and activating the potential of magic without fear.

ROSE QUARTZ
Unconditional love
A gentle stabilizing stone to use for physical heart trauma and imbalance.
The soothing pink color is perfect for amplifying feelings of unconditional love towards others.
If you have never received love, rose quartz can open your heart to become receptive.
If you have lost love it can comfort you in grief.

FROM THE HEART TO THE PAGE
Some say the journey from the head to the heart is the longest and most arduous journey we ever face. If that’s true, then the journey from the heart to the page may be the most healing path we face.

NARRATIVE HEALING PRACTICE:
This offering can be done from your desk seat, and you’re welcome to lie down on the ground or in a bed.
1. Find a comfortable seat, and take a few breaths to settle in. On an inhale, feel the ground beneath you. Place your palms on your body, some place that actually moves when you breathe, like belly and chest. Take five natural breaths and place your entire attention on the breath as it moves your palms.
2. As you settle in, using your imagination, place ears on your palms, and begin listening to your breath. Imagine that the breath itself has a voice, and ask, “What do I need to know?”
3. Be here for three minutes. Prompt (10 minutes): Move towards your writing technology, and free write from the perspective of your breath, give your breath a voice, and tell their story. Write in first person as the breath.
4. Now, move on to a new piece of writing or whatever you are whittling away at in your day, and write from your heart with your body by your side.

COLLECTIVE WELLNESS
in issue 4 of @human_shift
All the things that bring food to life are very primal. Nature is a really important aspect when we’re talking about food—understanding value chains, we don’t call them supply chains. They are things of value. Sixty percent of the specialty ingredients that we have, come from somewhere else. Do we respect and honor and understand who they come from, where they come from, the soil that they were growing out of? Do we even know? No, we just go to the grocery store and we buy it. I’m trying to find a way to get people to understand that this olive oil or wine, or whatever you love—people are responsible for it. And those people take care of the nature and the environment that we need in order to have these things.
That’s the collective wellness. There’s a difference between individual wellness and the collective wellness, and finding a way to honor both is the sweet spot.

Chakra 4 - ELEMENT – AIR
Breath is the great unifier:
A potent and accessible path back home to our hearts.
Breath can shift our ability to know ourselves as source. When we consciously breathe, we experience access to deeper states of peace, love, ease and joy. It wakes us to the awareness that nothing outside ourselves can be the source of our well being.
Breath reminds us that we have the ability to develop choice around how we respond. Once you return to choice, feelings and actions become aligned to truth. From there, all things are possible.

July New Moon | Intention
In Tantra, the body is considered to be a vessel.
But a vessel for what?
Energy.
As it happens, we can learn to manage the flow of that energy
and cultivate our state of being.
Take the heart and our emotional intelligence as an example.
Want to generate increased capacity for love and compassion?
Amidst the myriad of ways we can get there, Tantra suggests first tending
to the energetic vitality at the navel center of all places.
Imagine that.
But really, imagine that.
A fully empowered and vital center.
__________
So where do we start?
For one minute take slow deep inhalations into the abdomen,
while drawing the navel center back on the exhalation.
Do this 3x a day for the next two weeks.
In 2 weeks, you will have spent 42 minutes
with the power of your mind and breath at the navel.
That’s a great start.
—————-
Want to go deeper?
The invitation then for this New Moon cycle is to consider our attention and actions
as energy and reflect on how we consciously or unconsciously disperse it.
Choose any one of these reflections:
What do you read?
What do you watch?
What do you eat?
What do you say?
What do you do?
All these things affect our vital energy.
All these things carry incredible power.
As a community, let’s start to manage that power well.
For it just may be that the skillful management of our energy is one of the surest paths to awakening the heart, and creating a path to quietly enter the infinite realm of the Soul.
Happy New Moon.
With love,
Kevin
