The Meaning of Time

-
Time has been moving too fast for me these past few months. I have been consumed with classes, studying, and school work and I usually feel like there isn't enough time in the day for everything I want to do. Time flies when I'm consumed with school. Commuting to and from school before the quarantine was the only aspect of my life when time seemed to have slowed down.

Time seemed to have flown by during spring break as I enjoyed every moment of being present, even if that meant to simply breathe. I have been enjoying connecting with myself and diving inward. In addition to doing some soul work, I have been incorporating more movement so I have been exercising more and time feels slow when I'm exercising. My daily routine has not changed and my body is still on a regular wake and sleep cycle. Maybe time has been flying by because I am more of an introvert and enjoy spending time with myself.

Today, I spent the first half of the day foraging morels on the Yankton Sioux Indian Reservation in Wagner, South Dakota.
Time flies when I'm having fun in nature.

    Hi Princess! First off, let me say how jealous I am of your pics! I love foraging, but I haven't had the opportunity to discover what this area has to offer. I love traveling and discovering new plants and how people in various regions use different plants in the same ways, and vice versa. I hope you're enjoying your time away. I'm also glad you're getting a break from traveling to campus. I know the feeling (ACTCM).

      Sounds like foraging and plants is what draws people like us into oriental medicine and herbology!

Uncertainty and Connectivity in the Universe

Uncertainty is fun to explore and the only thing that is certain is that nothing is certain. The thought of the uncertainty principle makes a lot of sense to me as I enjoy seeing things in different perspectives. In class, we learned about the duality of light being photons and waves. I like the fact that matter doesn't have to be so concrete and identify as just one thing. At the same time, uncertainty can seem confusing because we can only view one aspect of something at a time. Conditions can change the perception of what something can be viewed as. We are able to change what we see when we change our intention. Our perceptions shape our reality.  Yoda vs Heisenberg Everything in this universe is interconnected. All matter is made up of stardust, atoms, vibrations, and energy. Nothing occurs out of sequence either. The concept of synchronicity and the chaos theory of the butterfly effect comes to mind when I think about connectivity. The human body is an example of connecti...

Energy, Matter, Force, and Vibrations

Are all vibrations "good"? I suppose Marky Marky and the Funky Bunch are responsible for coining the term "good vibrations". I'm not going to view vibrations as either "good" or "bad". I'm going to view vibrations with a mindset of the yin and yang theory. I'm going to use the example of vibrational frequencies in sound. My body resonates mostly with a low vibrational frequency of a deep bass. It is grounding and makes my mind and body feel good. Some people really enjoy high vibrational frequencies. I am not going to say that the higher vibrations are "bad" just because I prefer the low vibrations. Vibrations can be either favorable or less favorable. Resonance in my world. I relate my own experience with resonance by observing how I feel about certain objects, structures, places, animals, and people. I often ask myself how matter makes me feel. How does it resonate with me? Does it make me feel good and am I drawn to it? D...

Chaos and Symmetry

Kabbalistic Tree of Life by Maxine Miller Ordered Chaos   Chaos: the variable is predictable but there is no way to predict, after a certain point, what's going to happen. The pandemic disease is a good example for ordered chaos. Some people are learning how to: wash their hands properly, sneeze and cough into their elbow, disinfect and clean things and spaces, take care of their Wei Qi, work from home, dive into their dark unconscious, etc. The Black Lives Matter and civil unrest is another example of ordered chaos. The police, government, society, along with systemic racism, is showing how much chaos can cause order for a better America. Some people are learning how to: educate themselves and their children/family/friends/strangers about systemic racism and privilege, stand up and support black a POC, peacefully protest (with masks on), hold everyone accountable for their actions. A trickle of justice is just beginning. Confederate statues are being torn down, police defunding is...
