Reflections & Practices: Offered by Shelley Ostroff

​

These daily reflections and practices invite you to commune with the essence and vibrations of the theme of the day. As you engage with these essences you are invited to deepen the dialogue with the essence through spontaneous journalling, visual art, sound and movement inspired by the communion. The creative journey with these essences over the week offers a profound portal into the mystery and medicine of "Return to Essence".

RESONANCE: An invitation to commune in a quiet space with the Essence of Resonance and the resonant field of Essence 

​

• What does it feel like when you "resonate" with something or someone? How does the gift of resonance with another feel to you mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, energetically? 

• In a quiet space, offer yourself an opportunity to reflect on your life at the moment. What makes your heart come alive? What makes you feel more vital and energized? What feels more resonant with your inner truth, your essence and calling? What feels less resonant? How can attending to this compass of resonance inform your choices and support your health and evolution and inform your choices?

• What would it look like in your life to make choices that resonate with your the core of your being and the wellbeing of the all? What are the stories, the noise, habits and the distractions that need to be to shed for this to happen? What practices and behaviors want to be amplified? What wants to be transformed, and what potential pathways reveal themselves as you slow down, simplify and attune to the language of essence? 

• Sense into how pristine Nature resonates with the original codes and integrity of Life itself. What would be needed personally and collectively to "de-noise our systems" and restore this natural resonance with our own essence integrity and the wellbeing of all Life?

• Sense into how resonance acts as a primary organizing intelligence in Nature. How does the 'vibrational intelligence' of resonance guide all aspects of Nature to organize in ways that ensure all parts of the whole receive what they need to manifest their unique potential in mutual nourishment with all of Life (The Vitality Code)?   

• Spend some quiet time in Nature attuning your vibrational field to other-than-human Nature beings whose resonance fields are still held in integrity. As you sit quietly in communion, listen with the fullness of your own being as you extend a heartful intention and communication. Notice what happens in the resonant field that evolves in this communion.

• In what ways has modern human culture and our ways of engaging with information in all forms undermined our experience of resonance in our everyday lives - and what do you sense is the impact of this?  

• What would it look like to cultivate your own "resonance intelligence" as a compass for nuanced discernment and decision making? How can we cultivate a culture that, from a young age, supports the development of our embodied wisdom and our resonance compass?

• Imagine what it would look like ~ what it would feel like in a world where all humans were living in integrity and resonance with their unique essence and the health and vitality of the planet and all its inhabitants. How can we co-create this reality ~ and how can the different offerings and gateways in this 7 Days of Rest & Return to Essence event contribute to manifesting a world of heartful resonance?

• Sense into how a collective clear life-serving vision and purpose can create a resonant field that acts like a magnetic attractor aligning us in across our differences in service of that which is most nourishing and essential for all of Life. What is your Life purpose and how does it resonate with the the health and well-being of all Life?

• How does the journey of Return to Essence support the medicine of resonance personally and collectively?
