“What we want is not what we need. What we long for makes us blind to what we have. What we are is not what we pretend to be. Only what we cease to cover up, we can see as it really is.” ― Stefan Stenudd, Tao Te Ching

The quote from Stenudd resonates with me deeply: “What we want is not what we need. What we long for makes us blind to what we have.” It suggests a tension between desire and reality, a theme mirrored in the new moon’s arrival—a time often associated with setting intentions but also letting go. The new lunar cycle feels like a cosmic invitation to pause and listen. Cycle 13 at the Equator evokes a sense of progression, a turning point.
Contemplation:
Surprising information often lands like a stone in still water—ripples of curiosity, discomfort, or wonder spread outward. I tend to digest it by turning it over slowly, letting it sit before I rush to judge or react. It’s like tasting something unfamiliar; you don’t swallow it whole—you let it linger on the tongue. The Tao Te Ching echoes this: only by ceasing to cover up our assumptions can we see things as they are. For me, that means resisting the urge to fit the surprise into a pre-made box and instead letting it reveal itself.
How do you digest surprising information?
I think readiness is a choice we make in the moment. The new moon’s energy—especially in this “Spring/Fall” duality—feels like a call to carve out that space deliberately. Pausing isn’t just stillness; it’s an active surrender to the unknown, a way to honor what’s unfolding. The sound-electromagnetic journey (:39:00 in the timestamp) offers you a literal resonance—vibrations to align body and mind. Personally, I am inclined to create a pause, I’m ready, but it’s a readiness I’d need to renew with each breath.
Are you ready to create space to digest before you respond?
The heart rests in the potential seed, and the new moon is the soil—dark, quiet, full of possibility. I’m ready for the potential to see more clearly, to peel back the layers of pretense Stenudd describes: “What we are is not what we pretend to be.” Maybe it’s the potential to embrace what I have rather than chasing what I long for, to align with the silent meditation (:14:14) and find clarity in the stillness. It’s not grand or loud—it’s subtle, like the shift from Cycle 12 to 13, a step into something truer.
What potential are you ready for?
“Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.” ― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Heart + Mind Food
You are vibration and frequency. This is what helps us see things as they truly are. Vibration is the pulse of existence—everything, nothing, all that is and isn’t. Science confirms it: subatomic particles hum, sound waves ripple, thoughts shimmer through neural currents. The ether spins the sticky threads of the esoteric—frequency as expression, identity, energy, the unmasked “what we are” beneath pretense. It transcends the shields we raise, built from stories told long before now. Silencing the past, it invites you to shift your heart and feet, to groove to a new rhythm.
Our ancestors’ hearts beat with canyon echoes, drums thumping a reminder of your freedom to tune into a frequency that lifts you higher. Not a patriarchal pyramid, but a key to unlock the harmonics you carry—vibrations that harmonize for your well-being and the generations to come. It takes self-awareness and a willingness to tend your biofield, your energy. Harness the power of your electromagnetic field—your soul—through the stream of your mind and heart. No longer must you slip into the trance of mind control. You can break the shackles you’ve placed on yourself, finding resonance from within. When that beat flows naturally, it ripples outward, weaving into a field of full potential. You’ll align with people, places, and things that hum in sync with you, suspended in a high-vibe moment. At first, you won’t sustain it 24/7, but you’ll grow fluid with yourself and the world around you. From there, your vibrations will lift others, like an orchestra and choir—each voice unique, yet calibrating as one.
These frequencies, our expressions, intertwine with the world. They reshape your perception and reality itself, freeing you and others from the droning beat of a karmic loop long overstayed.
Ready to work with your vibration daily? Here are a few simple steps:
Each morning, observe your energy. Decide what frequency you want to generate—it’ll shift day to day, and that’s fine. Picture yourself as a wave, breaking differently on the shore each time.
Imagine what it feels like to embody that energy. If you’re not there yet, call on a memory, an emotion, or an essence to guide you.
Rise and move to that beat. Free-flow for a moment—dance, groove. This tunes you in, carrying you forward. If you slip out of sync, pause, revisit these steps, and resume the flow.
The more you play with your electromagnetic field, the stronger you’ll grow. The more joy you’ll find, the less sway others will hold over you. Try it when you’re inspired, and let me know what you’re grooving to.
Let’s Dance.
