Are all vibrations good? I think there are "good" & "bad" vibrations. Good vibrations: harmonious music, sounds waves that promotes tissue healing & relaxation, Tui Na hand movements that move Qi and invigorate Blood, an ambiance that feels welcoming & comfortable has a "good vibe," and people can emanate positive & pleasant "vibes" that make it easy and enjoyable for other people to interact with them Bad vibrations: destructive structural resonance, electro-magnetic pollution makes some sensitive people sick, people in a bad mood, on harmful drugs or not in consensual reality can give off bad vibes, for sure. Resonance in My World It's possible to experience resonance in an intuitive way and in a physical way. I'll feel myself sit or stand up tall with a relaxed chest and shoulders in environments and with people that are positive and open people. In contrast, I'll feel contracted and tense in scenarios tha...

THE (A)SYMMETRICAL WORLD "It's a wiggly world." - Alan Watts The only constant in the universe is Change, right? But in order for anything to exist, there needs to be a reliable, symmetrical structure with which atoms and energy can come together. This we could call symmetry and super symmetry. One of the things about symmetry is that it has the potential to stay still, so to speak. The structure of a snowflake is perfect, and there's no need for movement for it to exist. Gravity just acts upon it. The Water molecule, in contrast, has a natural polarity between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms that inherently allow movement. So the natural imbalance enlists activity, if you will imagine, and is the perfect analogy for Change. We have Sacred Geometry established as the foundation of life: the Golden ratio and the Flower of Life are two great examples of this. The Golden Ratio is (almost) subconsciously used the DNA of trees, flowering plants, human, and can be even b...

 How has e=mc2 affected you? It helps me look at matter as slowly moving energy, which is useful when thinking about Qi. It also reminds me how the frequency of Vibration of atoms determines states of matter: liquid, gas, or solid. The equation also reminds me we're made out of particles and elements created by ancient exploded stars, and that we all share the same origin of creation - the Big Bang, which makes me feel more connected to people and the environment.  How would you compare the four “forces”? These 4 forces hold the world together and allow it to function and exist. Strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force allow materials to interact chemically by way of electrons. Electromagnetic forces help object interact in a field of attraction and repulsion. Gravity brings everything into relationship of attraction and holding.  What is the function of gravity? Gravity's function is Attraction, but just enough so that moons and planets can orbit arou...

This whole last week, after physics class, I've been opening up more to synchronicity. Letting go of skepticism (light but still there) and opening up my mind to the universe in a new way, I found the questions I've been asking for a long time answered by old and new friends. The things in I've I had even yearning for came up to the forefront of my life, and contentment has become more prominent. I also found a deeper trust for myself and a stronger ability to be vulnerable. My anxiety and depression seem to have completely subsided, and though I know acupuncture treatments are helping and I also haven't been drinking coffee, I can tell that I have a completely different approach to engaging with life. A synchronistic thing happened last week: I saw this quote from Albert Einstein come up: twice of social media, once in physics class, and two of my friends mentioned in in conversation -   "No problem can be solved at the same level of consciousness that created it....
