Birdsong Beginnings this New Year

Join me in this New Year 2025 podcast episode as we explore the profound connection we all share with the earth. Through observing nature and our own connection to ancestral resilience, we uncover the concept of syntropy—nature’s organizing principle that stands in contrast to entropy. This episode invites you to observe the recurring themes and messages in your life, offering guidance to navigate change with harmony and grace.

Tune into the vibrant symphony of birdsong as we journey through my travels in the Midwest, eastern United States, and Costa Rica. Discover the unique harmonic patterns that birds bring to regulate the planetary frequencies. Whether you’re surrounded by an orchestra of feathered friends or need to seek them out, the surprising beauty of birdsong offers a powerful reminder of the vitality and joy of the natural world. Let these melodies guide you towards a deeper connection with the earth and yourself this New Year.

Thank you for tuning in and creating this space with me.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
I'm creating an energy field for storytelling,
taking a breath in and aligningmy central channel.
I'm calling in the listenerswho are in resonance with the

(00:38):
stories I am here to share,share.
I'm asking that my alignmentand source energy bring through
the words, the ideas, theintentions and the wisdom to
support the greatestillumination of consciousness in

(01:04):
this space.
Happy New Year, happy 2025.

(01:34):
Much is reorganizing this year.
I can feel you flutteringaround the room like butterflies
.
I can feel you flutteringaround the room like butterflies
.
There are a lot of new projectsthat you're working on in this
new year.
A lot of excitement buzzing.

(01:56):
Many of us have intentions forhaving a new experience this
year.
Today, I'm going to talk aboutthe connection to the earth.
I just moved into a newapartment and there is a park
across the street and I got totake a walk this morning and say
hello to the trees.

(02:17):
Touching the earth and puttingmy hands on trees is one of my
essential practices that I'vebeen doing for quite a long time
.
When I need to reset my energy,my energetic polarity and get
myself out of my head, I go to apark and I listen to the birds

(02:38):
and I touch trees.
Old, wise friends.
I've had this experience sinceI can't really remember when it
started, but I've done thisthing where I'll put my hands on
trees, especially oldgrandmother trees and trees in
old growth forests, and I'll askthe trees to show me their life

(03:01):
and the life of the forest, andit's like as if a time capsule
of what has transformed in theirsurrounding space flashes
before my eyes.
I can see the growth and thedeath, the cycles of change, the
movement of people, structures,land shifting from rains and

(03:25):
sediment.
What is your relationship tothe earth, to the land?
Do you like to garden?
Do you like to get out innature?
I can see that we have a lot ofbird watchers, birding people,
in the audience today.
Birds perform a reallyessential function for our

(03:46):
energetic environment.
Their songs actually transmuteand release energy to harmonize
the planet and our environments.
You can ask for their help too.
I've had many experiences whereI'll lay down in a park or I'll
sit on a bench in a park andI'll ask for support from the

(04:06):
birds to sing and help merelease.
Until recently, I was living inAsheville, north Carolina, and
for several months coming up tothe event of Hurricane Helen, I
felt nauseous.
For months I would go to workevery day and inexplicably I

(04:27):
felt sick to my stomach changeand I had no idea what it would
be.
But in that time I dideverything I could to
self-regulate.
I thought maybe there'ssomething wrong with my health
or my digestion or I'm eatingsomething that's not healthy for

(04:47):
me, and so I was reallyfocusing on cooking healthy
foods.
Cooking healthy foods, takingnature walks and I would go to
the backyard and put my feet inthe earth and ask for the
support of the birds and theywould fly into the trees in the
backyard and they would startsinging while I was meditating

(05:09):
and I could actually feel like abuzzing and popping of energy
from my body and a release oftension.
During times of change we canfeel unsettled.

(05:31):
The collective is still verymuch in an in-between phase of
release and starting anew.
Many of us are getting cluesabout the path moving forward,
pieces of information orconversations that keep coming
up.
I like to pay attention tothose things.
It's not a coincidence If thesame random topics come up in

(05:55):
conversation with completelyunrelated circumstances and
people.
The universe has a naturalinclination towards centropy, an
organizing principle ofredirecting energy and flow into
its most harmonic state.
Redirecting energy and flowinto its most harmonic state.

(06:20):
This is actually the oppositeof entropy, the idea that things
are degrading and falling apart.
Centropy is the natural stateof vitality within our bodies,
our minds, our emotions, ourcommunities and our relationship
to the planet.
Our communities and ourrelationship to the planet.
You see this in nature all thetime.
Gardeners out there I'm suremany of you have seen the

(06:44):
resilience of plants and thecreative ways that, even under
the most stressful conditions,they find ways of thriving, of
growing in unideal soils orpopping up through the cracks in
the cement.
People do that too.
We do that through ourresilience and our creative
power.
My grandmother on my mother'sside just came in.

(07:07):
She's one of my greatestreminders of resilience and
creativity.
My mom's parents wereimmigrants from Ukraine and they
lived in Riverdale in the Bronxin New York City for many
decades and my grandmother was aseamstress and a phenomenal

(07:28):
cook and she was extremelyresourceful.
She could take any kind offabric and turn it into the most
beautiful piece of clothing andshe was constantly moving and
doing and creating, whether itwas various forms of Ukrainian
craftsmanship making babke,ukrainian bread or kistochka so

(07:52):
many different kinds of cookies.
Kistochka so many differentkinds of cookies.
When we came into town, shewould cook up a storm of stuffed
cabbage, holubtsi, varennyke,the Ukrainian pierogies, and
borscht beet soup.
Some of you are getting hungrynow.
Me too.
I can feel her hand on my back,over my heart space.

(08:14):
I feel warmth and nourishmentand support.
She's helping me releasesomething and I can feel a new
window of spaciousness open upinside of me.
When I look at that windowinside of me, I can hear birds
and I see birds.

(08:35):
In the light of this new year, Iencourage you to tune into the
birds the birds in yourneighborhood or in your local
parks or trails, listen to whatthey have to say and listen to
how you feel when you listen tothem.
For about six months, startingin mid-2022 until the end of the

(08:58):
year, I was camping around theMidwest and the east side of the
United States with my formerpartner, and we also went down
to Costa Rica, and in all theplaces we went, I recorded the
birds.
I noticed that wherever I wouldgo, the birds created a
different type of harmonic ineach environment.

(09:20):
They were creating vortices andfields of vibration through
their song, and I was payingattention and listening to how
they nourished and supported thevitality of their environments.
So today I'm going to leave youwith some of those songs and if
you're in a place that doesn'thave a lot of birdsong, I

(09:42):
encourage you to take a driveoutside of town and find a nice
trail to take a walk and listen.
You may be pleasantly surprisedwhat you find.
Thank you, thank you.
