May this Summer Solstice fill you with warmth, vitality, peace, health and the soothing rhythms of the natural world. Ground to Earths delights and let your spirit soar with the Vermillion bird embracing the healing wisdom of Hygeia.

The power of sound to travel through water at a speed four times faster than it travels through air provides a perspective on the season of winter and the Element of Water. Our bodies take in sound vibrations very deeply, traveling into our cells and souls. Specific planetary tones and intervals aid in our renewal, health and spiritual growth. This resonance, much like the flow of water, can promote flexibility and resilience. When we are open to the ways of water powerful change and transformation is possible, rippling out from us to those we serve.

As temperatures and tempers skyrocket it is so important to remember we have sound medicine tools to help us creatively navigate the demanding challenges we face.

In Acutonics Level I Donna addressed global amnesia, how it is far too easy to forget past evils, horrific crimes, and wrongdoing and that we must reclaim the ancient idea of Anamnesis, to remember the whole. This is the basis of Taoism, it is a concept that carries through time and many perennial traditions and philosophies, as an accepted universal truth. Anamnesis is the closest that the human mind can come to experiencing the freedom of the soul prior to its being encumbered by matter. The soul and individual consciousness coming back to its divine origins.

Over the past twenty years we have been fortunate to travel to some of the most remote areas of the world to deepen our understanding of the global climate crisis and the particular stresses being faced in the polar regions by indigenous communities and the wildlife.

During summer, we are pulled willingly or unwillingly into understanding the power of Pele, and other aspects of the Fire Element. As temperatures skyrocket, and each month becomes the warmest on record only to be eclipsed by the next month, it is important to remember that we have tools to help us navigate these challenges. Moving into Summer Solstice and the Fire Element let’s plant seeds of potential, find joy, love, laughter and zest for life as we embrace the gifts of the season.

As we welcome Spring, and all it represents it, is an opportune time to move forward with Acutonics, enacting plans that have been in strategic development for the past year.

As solstice and the New Year approach, we enter a season when we feel drawn to reflect on possibilities and to manifest energy for all the tasks before us. Anxiety is heightened as we look outward at ongoing wars, environmental losses, and the daily challenges we bear witness to in our modern world. We feel the gravity of time, past experiences, present realities, and future potentialities.

Archetypes and synchronicity play a huge role in the development of the Acutonics System.  Significantly through sound vibration, not just any sound, the sounds of the cosmos, heavenly harmonies, or music of the spheres we touch something that is literally collective and universal. This world of symbols and images of the collective unconscious connects with the rhythms of the whole universe and the generative power of all that is matter and mind and heart and spirit. When destructive narratives and patterns overtake us, it is of vital importance that we acknowledge what is in the collective, conscious, or unconscious, and through the power of our clear intentions, and proper use of the sound tools we have at hand, do everything in our power to promote a cycle of harmony and health.

Ellen and I have just returned from a month’s long journey and exploration that took us to Italy, Sicily, Spain, and France. We explored hundreds of miles of archeological, geological, and theological splendors and ruins. From underground caves to vertical and sinking cities, stressed climates, Megalithic haunts, and Neolithic nuances, to the strange DNA of the Basque and Catalonian treasures. We saw fracture zones of volcanism bearing lush landscapes, the otherworldly landscapes of Mount Aetna, and the massive underground temple of the Hypogeum in Malta, as well as other sights that predate the temples of Ancient Egypt. Roman ruins abound everywhere. A truly haunting sense of the layering of civilizations, one built on top of the other. Great civilizations destroyed and rebuilt, power centers relocated, cathedrals constructed on top of Byzantine brilliance, wars upon wars, and the overwhelming sense of being locked within an eternal return.
