Because for me life is an exploration, I am always looking into different aspects of self and other. Lately, the patterns and beliefs I’m uncovering in my deep dives are fascinating. Sometimes what I find is completely new, sometimes it’s a different level of something I already know, but everything is an insight that I need right now (due to the current bigger energies, I believe). Because life is change, we’re always in transition. I find that to be a helpful reminder fairly regularly.
This summer I read this article about walking and felt a deep resonance with what Shane O’Mara, a neuroscientist, is studying and has found about the links between walking and cognitive function and depression. I know that walking is a key component of mental health for me. I know that walking is when thoughts rearrange themselves, when insights occur, when my brain is able to relax. O’Mara calls walking a superpower and I know that walking is a key component to my knowledge of and continued explorations of other realms. My superpower is actually an important piece of my gift as a realm walker. I know, how mystical and fantastical that sounds! In reality it’s such a part of me that it took years to separate it out as something that not everyone experiences.
O’Mara also talks about theta brainwaves and walking and spatial learning. (Yes, this guy hits on everything, including rhythm, that I have been writing and talking about for years!) Being spatial (not just as a learner, but as a way of being) for me means that I use time, place, current emotional, mental, and physical states (and more) all as markers for knowing where I am in relation to other, whether that’s beings, emotional, mental, physical state, or beyond. Basically I am always mapping my existence. I talk about navigating a lot and that’s because I am always mapping and moving within the map inside of me. This cool article reminded me that maps are narratives. And just like life is change, maps are always changing, too.
The guided meditation work I do helps people discover who and what and how they are in relation to others (ideas, aspects, beings, etc.). What we’re doing together is mapping you in your current world. Regular work together keeps your mapping skills honed and helps you navigate daily life and keep up with life (changes). If you are in the midst of a larger transition a session can be a huge support in shoring up your boundaries, and bringing clarity to your perspectives, and possibilities. We’re heading into the time where each 24 hour window has more dark and less light. Now is the perfect time to get some inner mapping done to prepare for the next season. You can schedule your session HERE or HERE.
