What if something as simple as spinning could become a daily practice of presence, movement, and expanded awareness? Today, I want to celebrate one of our beautiful System Reset cohort members, Anne Nilsson, who shared an inspiring initiative with our community. Anne is beginning 33 days of Sufi whirling and invited others to join her, share their experiences, and witness what unfolds through daily practice. I absolutely LOVE when our community takes the initiative to turn inspiration into action. And this one is especially close to my heart because I’ve explored and shared this spinning practice myself. THE INSPIRATION: BRINGERS OF THE DAWN In Bringers of the Dawn, Barbara Marciniak shares teachings she attributes to the Pleiadians about the relationship between spinning, our energetic centers, and consciousness. The text describes spinning as a practice intended to activate and accelerate the chakra system, supporting expanded perception and awareness. While these are spiritual teachings rather than scientifically established effects, I’ve always been fascinated by the relationship between movement, the vestibular system, balance, and our perception of reality. THE ORIGINAL PRACTICE — 33 SPINS Inspired by Chapter 21 of Bringers of the Dawn: 1. Stand in a clear, safe space with your arms extended. 2. Begin spinning from left to right (clockwise when viewed from above). 3. Focus your vision on your thumb. 4. Count each complete rotation. 5. Gradually build toward 33 rotations, without forcing yourself through dizziness. 6. Finish by bringing your palms together at your heart. 7. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, eyes open, and allow yourself to settle. 8. Observe your physical sensations, mental clarity, and state of awareness. The original teaching suggests working toward 33 spins daily, eventually exploring 33 rotations three times per day. OUR COMMUNITY EXPERIMENT: 33 DAYS Inspired by Anne, I would love to invite everyone who feels called to explore a 33-day practice together.

Day 3 was a learning experience as I tried listening to a zoom at the same time as my morning spin 🙄 note to self: Remember this is about practicing Presence! I so obviously was not present and was forced to stop because of dizziness. For my evening session, I was back on track - present and effortlessly spinning & whirling. It’s really such a beautiful practice. Come join in for 33 days of spinning 🥰

Hello Beautiful Beings ✨ I am going to begin 33 days of the Sufi Whirling/Spinning & I was wondering if anyone would like to join me in the experience? It could be a fun to checkin on our experiences especially as we progress through the 33 days. Let me know, if you wish to join me in this experience or perhaps there is another exercise we could do together for a set time period? Comments? Ideas? 🥰 For the Whirling/ spinning, I aim to begin on Monday, November 9th, the new moon 🌚 and completing Friday, December 11th. It would look like spinning for 33 days - one to three times a day, whatever feels good for you ❤️ & then briefly Checking in & posting your experience a few times a week or and again whatever feels good for you ✨ https://youtu.be/gmjgx4Qv7j0?si=O4msb48WOmB2f3ox

What if the most powerful way to change your state today isn't to focus on what's missing... but to become deeply aware of what's already here? Happy Gratitude Friday, beautiful Earth 2.0 family! Today, I want to invite all of us into a little GROUP RECODING experiment. Not another intellectual exercise. Not just writing down three things we're grateful for. I want us to FEEL gratitude. To embody it. To amplify it together. Because here's something fascinating... THE SCIENCE OF GRATITUDE Our brains are constantly filtering reality. And what we repeatedly give our attention to influences what we notice, how we interpret our experiences, and how we respond to the world. When we intentionally practice gratitude, we're training our attention to recognize resources, connection, opportunities, and goodness that our survival-oriented minds can easily overlook. Research on gratitude practices has found benefits for psychological well-being, positive emotions, and relationships. Some brain imaging studies also suggest that gratitude engages neural networks involved in social connection, valuation, and emotional processing. And here's where neuroplasticity becomes interesting. What we repeatedly practice can become easier for our brains to access. Every time we consciously move from automatic negativity toward appreciation, we're practicing a different mental and emotional response. It doesn't mean ignoring pain, suppressing difficult emotions, or pretending everything is perfect. It means learning to recognize that even in the middle of challenges, something meaningful can still exist. BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PRACTICE GRATITUDE TOGETHER? This is where I believe the real magic of community begins. When you express genuine appreciation for another human being, two beautiful things happen. You practice opening your own heart to connection. And someone else gets to experience being SEEN. Feeling appreciated can strengthen our sense of belonging, trust, and social connection. And supportive relationships are one of the most important resources we have for navigating stress.
