Immersed in Nature; and, the Vital Pulse of Life (#3 in an ongoing series of articles on the Elemental Nature of Consciousness.) ~~Zacciah Blackburn, PhD 06.19.14
It is the very vital pulse of life. It is here for each of us.
And, so easy to enter rich, nurturing states of wellness and harmonious
being. The moment I open my door, I feel that vital life pulse. The vital chi in the atmosphere lifts
me. The ast sky opens me to immense
spaciousness, and releases any feelings of confinement or restriction I have
placed upon myself in the confines of my office, or, in my 200 year old farm
house, or workshop. The ceilings and
walls, while a beautiful environ, are low and defined. Outside, my breath and perceptions expand
immediately into open space, color, richness, and vital aliveness. It is integral to the experience of being in nature. All is alive.
All is vital. All is thriving, or
seeking to thrive, with a vital pulse which is eminent and visceral. The beauty and symmetry of form is known
through ancient and modern sciences of geometry to obey fundamental principles
of proportion and harmony. Thus, my eye,
even in the ‘apparent’ randomness of nature, of life form, of the bend and sway
of trees and the unfolding patterns of leaves, are bathed in a spectacle of
color, form, and vibration which is fundamental, and harmonious, obeying the
laws of dynamic, vital, divine proportion.
Over and over, in recent times, I see scientific research
coming out, outlining some new thread of how nature resonates throughout its
full spectrum of life: penguins know how
to find each other through intonations of each unique voice. The same is true with elephants, and so many
maternal species. Spiders pulse their
webs into harmony through the ‘musical’ tension of their fibers, tones underlie
entire forests with resonant harmonies, the stars and sun have musical pulses
which give science more information
than standard ‘light’, EM, or radio based astronomy can reveal. The songs of birds, whales, and other species
have their own resonant harmonies we are more familiar with. The language of dolphins. But, more and more, science is reporting both
the harmonious proportions of light and form, and sound, arising from within
all Nature. At my home, those songs of birds, the cascade of waters
close to me, the rustle of wind in trees, all bring forward a harmonious chorus
of sound which is integral to my experience.
I am in ‘relationship’ with it, All.
The deeper I breathe it in, my vital pulse of beauty awakens within, and
gratitude for my experience, breathes out, the more I am a part of it. I re-enter a direct relationship with
Life. This connects me to All Life. The vital air is charged with elemental being. I can speak in science of ions and
atmosphere, but it is the very life force which makes all things thrive, all
things ‘erect’, as the Egyptians speak of it.
All life, obeying the primary instinct to thrive in the fundamental life
pulse of the Mother, the Earth, rising up through it, to grow into the elemental light
force; and, calling it from above, to take its place in the infinite space
available to us all, it rises into this posture to stand erect within itself,
within its own vital pulse, posture, and relationship with life. What is yours (pulse, posture, and
relationship?) And, is this the feeling of Love? I rest here, bathing in these colors and vital fields of
energy, and discover my place, my inner wisdom, my state of empowered knowing,
and being, just resting in nature. It is this easy. From here, I can hear the templates of
wisdom, my own, and that of Creation. I
feel the exchange of life force, of love, of appreciation, of knowing, of
being. I come to that ‘zero point’ we
speak of in relationship to the field of vital life, in which there is an
exchange between our individual consciousness, and the universal
consciousness. Breathing in, breathing
out, the ebb and flow of connectivity to All Life. It is
this easy. I can now better make
vital choices to take action in my life which obeys that vital pulse, and
thrust of life, which arises from this place of harmonious resonance with the
pulse of Life. Whether that is the next
key stroke on my keyboard, or the next journey I take in life. And, here, I rest.
Saturated in the colors of greens, tones of browns and greys of trees
and stone, a vibrant rainbow of color of floral unfolding, the depth, richness,
and vitality of clear blue sky. The
color spectrum of whites, greys, silvers, and golds amidst the clouds. Early and late day, the light show is even
more expressive. My mind soars. I am bathed in all of this, simply by stepping outside my
door. Is this Love? I know that not everyone has the exquisite beauty of nature
just outside their door. But, I do tell you this, my friends. Upon this journey, every moment you can take,
to bathe in this beauty, you will hear this resonant calling, you will receive
this perceptual beauty, experience this uplifting grace, feel the jubilant life
force, and the vibrant truth of my words; if you can immerse and rest in
nature, wherever it is, however close it is to you. Find a place.
Find your place. Take the time. Give
the gift of life to yourself. And, pass
it on to others. And, is this Love? If you are feeling the confines of life, the stress of every
day existence, come home. Find a place
that calls to you, and rest here, there, wherever it is. Not only does this allow you to rise into
these joyous fields of resonant beauty, it clarifies the mind and emotional field. It does this on multiple levels, in multiple
ways…perhaps even ‘multi-dimensionally.’
It does it energetically, through the vital exchange of chi occurring, through
the perceptual field of beauty around you, as well as, through your alignment,
consciously or unconsciously, with the inherent resonant field of harmony of
every living thing you are perceiving.
Your pulse quickens. You feel
alive. The beauty and chorus of sound
cascades through your cells, stimulating the molecules of emotion, and every
cell receives the information of the beauty you are receiving, transmitting,
and bathing in. It enlivens you further
through the inherent exchange of ions and fresh atmosphere with your lungs, the light upon your skin, and the
beauty perceived through your not only your physical senses, but through your heart. Not only does this uplift and clarify your
energy and perception, it restores your vital pulse of life, and gives rise to
your own body’s wisdom, your own inner perceptions, your own inner harmonious
states. It clarifies your field, which
creates clear, clear awareness, and allows your own inner knowing to speak, to
interact with what is around you, from a place of empowered being. You are part of life. Here, you know it. You feel it.
Your deeper voice listens, then calls, calls out to this vital pulse of
life, to re-enter it, and awaken to its own beauty, its own vital treasures,
and this allows your pulse of life to come alive, and resonate out, in vital
harmony with the pulse of creation, which is the pulse of nature, and all that
has created it. Indeed, as the wise ones say, we enter the rhythm of giving
and taking, in harmony with all life, simply by coming into resonance with this
heart of nature, in relation to the very heart of creation. We are immersed in the very pulse of Life. And, is this Love? This is a good time to speak, to voice, to tone, to drum, to
play a flute, expressing this vibrant beauty with thanks and deep, resonant
gratitude. And, is this not Love?

It is what we call our foundation training. However, those who know our work, know that it is anything but foundational. advanced level practitioners have found this program to be exceptional at articulating fundamental principals of understanding the nature, science, and spirit of sound as a healing practice, which, simultaneously, is offered in a way that the most basic novice has a rich and diverse understanding of the nature and use of sound in a healing practice, for themselves, or with others. It is highly recommended for all pursuing our program of studies. It offers a skilled approach to the nature of sound and healing designed to be of benefit to novice and practitioner. We approach a broad understanding of major sound healing modalities, which includes hands on work with instruments, vocal sound healing exercises, and much more. We explore the science of sound, including basics in neuroacoustics, Cymatics and other principles of sound. We shall explore the use of principal instruments used in sound healing practices, both for personal and professional use. We detail the nature and use of awareness and intention, for clearing and energizing the human energy field, invocation, and more. Heaven and Earth
