Making Change Based on the Wisdom of Nature

Making change based on the wisdom of nature benefits your wellness and well-being. At this time of year you can begin to appreciate the harvest of nature’s wealth of offerings in fruit, vegetables, and flowers. In every phase of development, there is a purpose. Nature nourishes the process of development from seed to flower to fruit in every stage. A plant puts its energy in particular parts with right timing. In winter, the energy is focused in the roots, in spring the stem and leaves, in early summer, the buds and flowers, and in late summer, the fruit of the plant with seeds.

This leads to the question of Earth Element’s gifts at this time of year. In Chinese Medicine, this element is related to your stomach and spleen, and related to nuture and support on all levels. There is a quality of this element in every transition in your life, and especially between seasons. As in nature, the process of change from one season to another is gradual rather than sudden. Temperature, sunlight, rain and steadiness in direction all factor into making transition. So it is about pacing yourself over time in any change that gives you the ability to nurture yourself in the process while practicing self-care.

The ability to take support from resources in your life is a process of giving and receiving. For example, in nature at this time of the year fruit and vegetables offer their seeds for the next stage of development to preserve the overall life cycle of the plant itself. It is a preparation for what is to come. In fall, the leaves fall to make room for new buds set for the following spring.The leaves that fall nourish the Earth below to support the lognevity of the roots, and to make fertile the opportunity for new growth.

The Universe doesn’t waste anything. This is a wonderful way to look at transition in our own lives. How has the past prepared you for where you are today? How can you use that nformattion to support and nurture yourself today? It involves looking at the nourishing inspirational aspects as well as places where you have felt grief, remorse or sadness. Held between Earth Element’s invitation to look at support and nurure so you can feel more at home in your body in any circumstance and Metal Element, the prominent energetics of fall, there is always a place for you to process what is happening within.

Feeling at home in your own body whether you are starting or seeding something, growing from an experience, harvesting what you have learned from life, or needing to root and ground yourself to preserve and protect your energy in the process of change makes all the difference in how you move forward. Being in sync with nature allows you move from a place of resistance to resilience.

It’s About Pacing Yourself Over Time

Nature paces itself as it moves through the seasons.  Pacing yourself over time, allows you to move with greater ease through shifts, challenges, stressful situations, and transitions. The cycles of life can be looked at through the lens of where you are today, and more importantly where you have traveled over time. Pacing yourself over time happens one moment, hour, day, week, month, season, and year at a time.

It is true that the patterns that show up in your life today related to your attitudes, beliefs, and perception of interaction with the world have taken years to develop. They have evolved and changed. These patterns affect how you plan, meet obstacles, experience joy, and acknowledge rewards and seeming failures. 

To acknowledge that it is possible to create positive change over time includes working with the present moment. With each new insight and awareness, you choose the capacity to move towards life-enhancing choices in your life. The journey begins with starting in the present and building new neural pathways, beliefs, and habits over time: one moment, hour, day, week, month, season and year at a time.

Pacing Yourself Moment by Moment

A simple way to connect to the moment is to get in touch with your breath, breathing in and out through your nose. By getting in touch with your in-breath and out-breath with its calming effects, your nervous system creates nurture and support for being better able to be present in the moment. This creates a greater ability to focus, listen, and process what is happening in front of you.

If you are feeling anxious or disoriented, you can also add a contact to the middle of your chest at Conception Vessel 17 area to reinforce the connection between all the organ systems of your body to enhance communication and life energy flow to transform your mood and awareness of where you are in the present.

Pacing Yourself Hour by Hour

1. Meditate, read, and take brief rests or walks. Pause during the day to look out the window if you are in an indoor workspace. Look at ways to bring a 10-15 minute rest period into your schedule daily. Research has shown that taking a break to read for as little as 6 minutes creates a greater sense of calm.
2. Make time to stretch and wind down. Take your time, reduce stimulation, and spend time with others in pleasurable ways. Express gratitude. Nourish your body with whole foods, water,  and sunlight. Take some quiet time to rejuvenate in the midst of a busy day.
3. Break your work into sizable parts. Prioritize and delegate.

Pacing Yourself Day by Day

Building in time for work, play and self-care is important to create harmony and balance in your life. In order to take care of yourself, make space for self-reflection, gratitude, and centering. By doing so, you energize your intentions, restore your energy, and pace yourself instead of burning yourself out.

There are many ways to create possibilities for these options in your day, if only for a few moments.

1. Before going to sleep it is important to transition from the business of the day. Sometimes, you might still have a challenge on your mind before sleeping. In order to truly rest, it’s important to move to get out of the fast-paced zone. While there are many ways to fall asleep, building mindfulness into your sleep routine is beneficial to allow your body-mind system to detox and rejuvenate overnight.
2.  Some people get into the gratitude zone with reflection from the day. This can be done with gratitude for what you did, created, or avoided during the day. With this, you can also bring in what you feel grateful for in regard to others during the day including a smile, a gesture, or a compliment. And lastly, you can express regret for the day. This allows you to really put down the worry, anxiety, and tension you carry during the day. When there is an issue involving a decision, you can also offer a question before sleep while acknowledging that you cannot solve the issue. By letting go, ask for a solution you have not thought of yet, and include in your request a solution for the highest and best. This allows your body-mind system to connect to the calm reservoir of wisdom from your higher self. As your body is detoxing from the previous day, your Gall Bladder Official (Decision-Making Official) is cleansing and renewing for a new perspective in the morning!
3. Mindful Exercise:  Exercise creates positive mood-altering neurotransmitters and promotes a sense of well-being. Finding ways to enhance your sense of well-being and health happens when you set up a routine that works for you and pace yourself in the process. For more on how to create a beneficial exercise routine that works for you, read more here.

Pacing Yourself Month by Month

Taking care of monthly bills and commitments is part of life. However, it’s also important to know that you are affected by personal, natural, and cultural cycles. These include anniversaries, holidays, and deadlines. Your health is also affected by the natural cycles of the moon. Learn more here.

Season by Season

Each season has its own qualities in sync with nature. In order to access nature’s rhythm, use the wisdom of the Chinese Five Elements in your life.  

Summer: Be sure to spend time with others in ways that nourish your heart. Enjoy your connections through laughter, hugging, playing and joyful expression.

Late Summer: Find ways to be in touch with centering yourself. Be at home within. Find movement practices that ground your energy and increase your well-being like Tai Chi or Qi Gong. Express gratitude. Look at what you are harvesting in your life. Remember to balance giving and receiving.

Fall: Become aware of what inspires you. Look at your values, and how you are living these values in your life. Nurture self-acceptance and expand your spiritual practices so that they allow you to let go of that which is no longer necessary. Remember to breathe.

Winter: Tune into that which allows you to pace yourself while you persevere. Rest, dream,, and listen to your inner vision for life and to others. Examine where you are needing support to meet obstacles and go with the flow of life.

Spring: Look at your vision of life. Consider what you need to bring into the light so that you can create intentions free of frustration and energy that cuts you off from the light, optimism, and hope. Detoxify your body-mind system for greater life-enhancing energy.

Pacing Yourself Year by Year

Looking at nature, you notice what happens as time passes. Seeds become sprouts. Sprouts become flowers. Flowers become fruit. Their seeds are dispersed and become dormant through winter creating new growth.  Small tree plantings become forests. As the years progress it is important to look at what has been seeded in your life, and what course this has created for you.

Resonance Repatterning® sessions, make it possible to work with material from earlier years to address how these imprints are still affecting your experience of life. You can make significant, tangible, and sustainable changes in your life to create greater integrity in your wellness and well-being. This happens over time and enhances the quality and quantity of life energy you have for your positive intentions in the present.

* Personal sessions get into details about time cycles that affect your wellnessand well-being. The interaction between the Five Elements and Meridians creates harmony and balance by working specifically with what your body-mind system needs.

Here Comes the Sun: How Light Has a Positive Impact on Your Wellness and Well-being

Here comes the sun. As summer begins, it’s an invitation to appreciate how light positively impacts your wellness and well-being.

How the Sun and Light Impact Your Vision and Energy

The quality of light you receive affects your breath, posture, movement, and memory. It is important to note that physical vision is also related to how you process light for emotional, mental, and physical health, and well-being.

For more on this topic: https://www.windowstotheheart.net/what-impacts-your-vision-of-life-four-ways-to-positive-change/

Natural light has been shown to have an impact on sleep patterns, melatonin production, memory, mood regulation, thought processing, free radical production, cellular communication, and heart health.

Impact of the Sun and Light on Your Cells and DNA

Cell-to-cell communication by bio-photons has been seen in plants, bacteria, and animal neutrophil granulocytes that digest invading microbes. Granulocytes account for about 60% of your white blood cells. Kidney cell communication was also noted. Particular spectral light stimulation (infrared, red, yellow, blue, green, and white) at one end of the spinal sensory or motor nerve roots produced a significant increase in the bio-photon activity at the other end according to a research study by Yan Sun, Chao Wang,  and Jiapei Dai’s research. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20221457

 In addition, according to Dr. Fritz Popp, a biophysicist dedicated to the study of bio-photons. the coherent emission of bio-photons is directly connected to energy and information transfer processes within biological organisms and has been linked to the function of DNA and gene regulation.

We are still on the threshold of fully understanding the complex relationship between light and life, but we can now say emphatically, that the function of our entire metabolism is dependent on light. ~Dr. Fritz Albert Popp http://www.biontologyarizona.com/dr-fritz-albert-popp/

Impact of Exposure to Sunlight on Your Heart Health

Richard Weller, an Edinburgh University dermatologist and researcher, states that regular exposure to the sun is beneficial for your heart. He suggests that sunlight lowers your blood pressure by increasing both Vitamin D and Nitric Oxide in the body through the skin. This exposure to sunlight would potentially decrease the likelihood of both heart attacks and strokes.

The Impact of the Sun and Light on Your Positive Intentions

An intention is based on directing thought, attitude, belief, and motivation with action toward a specific goal. The process of forming, sustaining, and initiating your intention for wellness and well-being relates to the production of particular neurotransmitters, memory imprints, and especially the quality of your life energy you have to dedicate to your positive intentions. The importance of creating an optimal environment for new possibilities depends on the transmission and quality of energy and information in your body-mind system.

How Resonance Repatterning Works with Light to Enhance Your Wellness and Well-being

Everything is frequency. We experience life through color, light, and sound frequency. Your attitudes, beliefs, arguments, conflict, as well as a sense of well-being all have a frequency.

The process of Resonance Repatterning® identifies specific frequencies that are needed to benefit your wellness and well-being through working with different modalities that infuse or diffuse light and sound at specific tone frequencies, octaves, and locations of need. All of the modalities in a session are muscle-checked for the most benefit to the client based on specific needs. In addition, the following color/light modalities might be part of your process:

• Vision Modalities include a number of color/light, movement, breath, memory, and relaxation activities. Here are a few of the holistic ways to apply light through color from the extensive bank of possibilities in the process of Resonance Repatterning® sessions.

• Color Filter Lens: The client or facilitator on the client’s behalf wears a color gel mask over the eyes. In some cases, there are additional modality details combined with this format.
• The Color Filter Torch is used on particular meridian and energy system points on the body to update information in the body-mind system for more optimal energy flow. This means that color/light works where transmission of light and sound have been interrupted or blocked.
• Silk Color Scarves are placed over various parts of the body or used in the visual field to incorporate the frequency of the color.

This is your personal invitation to create greater integrity in your wellness and well-being with a Resonance Repatterning® session specifically tailored to your needs for positive change.
