Cycles and Rhythms
of Life Session 1

Vibrational Nature of Life

  • As all is vibration, all is effected by the physics of vibration and movement and energy. What appears to be solid to our “dumbed down” senses is in reality, constant oscillation. It is the frequency of the oscillation that manifests as form in the physical realm. The constant movement of atoms and molecules creates a specific frequency of vibration.

  • Change is a constant, justified by the oscillations of all matter and energy. Things move from form to form, shape to shape, event to event, place to place…constantly. There is a pattern to the movements. It shows up as a repeating of pulses or movements. It expresses a rhythm. The speed at which it pulses is the tempo.

  • Humans are subject to these laws. Our patterns, our systems, our organs, our cells, our thoughts, our actions, have a rhythm. This rhythm identifies us as a unique frequency. Any alteration to the rhythm of our inner shows up as us being less than balanced…a lower vibration than who we truly are by design. When we are not in our own rhythm we suffer and manifest conditions to bring our awareness back to focus and cleanse the lower vibrations.

  • When we can’t dance, we are likely, in compromise, holding on to increasing amounts of unprocessed, unexpressed, uncleared experience. Our system and cells are leaning towards chaos. Our increasing sedentary culture has cost us dearly, not only by obesity but also in our lack of movement and activity. This is essentially giving up to the beautiful flow of life. Our rhythm, our pulse, has been lost…temporarily. To heal we must get our mojo back. This pulsating life force is masked by the thoughts, beliefs, patterns, and actions that we have collectively and individually bought into. Now is the time to rediscover our rhythmic self.

  • We learn to dance by dancing. The specific steps are just forms of conforming. We need to find our improvisational pulse. The steps will reveal themselves when we find our beat. Start moving and stumble and fumble and fall…and keep going. Work through the doubts and hesitations and unwillingness to reawaken the dancer. The pulse means we repeat movement in time, or in the same distance between each beat. We drop into our groove when we surrender the thinking and the history of believing we can’t and repeatedly sit out.

  • It is to this cultural history of giving up that the music healer crafts his compositions. Conditions are there because the flow, the dance, has been interrupted. Our creations must take off the shackles and put the boogie back in the cells, meaning we invite them to unify and align. Two cells from the heart when separated, beat at their own pulse. When brought into closer proximity they mysteriously start beating simultaneously at the exact rhythm. This is called entrainment. We must use this to give the listener back the keys to their freedom.

  • Rhythm carries the feeling into the will center. It pulls our ability to decide and take action downwards toward the earth to access the power and support of that foundational energy and intention. To connect with the Earth is to feel the pulsing vibration and move…dance. Native dance is based on natural rhythms, most often the heartbeat, the breath, and the waves of the brain. Conscious utilization brings about entrainment and a relocation to center, where the natural, designed body wisdom is allowed to function in the flow.

  • Often, the rhythm we incarnated with is lost through the moments of living. Traumas impact the cells and interfere with the human interpretation of the infinite Divine Pulse. We learn to protect and keep safe and survive and forget to dance, because it brings up happiness and freedom and celebration…and these are the last things we are willing to feel and engage from the wounded state. Fears of annihilation…

  • Rhythm lives in the connection between breath and heartbeat. Interruption of either through repression shuts down the will so little action, movement, takes place. Music is the primary vehicle that realigns the breath and pulse, freeing the limbs to move and call upon the resources of the cosmos. It is necessary that the healing music musician finds and maintains and cultivates his/her own pulse, exploring rhythm through the body as well as the music. The feel breathes life into the song and opens the will center to receive and engage it. Put the feel into the rhythm of the song through your own dancing of it. The energy created aligns with the vibration of the composition and is carried with it and through it to the heart and hips and feet of every listener.
