Waking Seed

Special love to the amazing papa bear behind our Waking Seed family It makes sense the longest day of the year, welcoming in the energy of Father Sun with the Solstice, would fall on your day. Our master storyteller, snack connoisseur, joke slinger, heart healer, artsy, passionate, mother-lovin’ FATHER...... Thank you for bringing more Magick into our world every day, the way only you can. Maybe a day late on the ‘gram, pero te amamos para siempre papá

Did you know, the most powerful instrument for healing already lives inside you? Yep! Tuning forks, high-vibe singing bowls, and even our beloved drum - move aside! THE VOICE as unique to you as your fingerprints, is one of the most powerful (and underrated) tools we have, transforming inner frequency into outer resonance.... On the surface, this instrument allows us to share information, connect with others, and navigate our communities... But on a deeper level, your voice also... Balances the autonomic nervous system, improving mental clarity, reducing depression, and helping you process emotions and release stress Improves the function of the immune system Improves digestion and aids the body’s natural detoxing abilities Enhances cell activity, vascular flow, and heart health and can even improve joint health, soothe headaches, and increase sexual drive! We’ve been using sound and vibrational therapy as a primary modality for healing in our work and home lives for nearly a decade now, offering experiential playshops and gatherings highlighting and sharing the vast benefits of this amazing technology - and you know what we’ve found? Getting an adult human to tone, or sing, or sigh, or basically do anything outside the range of normal speaking is like pulling teeth! Not that we’re in the dental industry, but you get what we’re saying. It’s HARD. Like, really hard. And we get it! In a society which has all but silenced our natural expression, advising us to speak only when spoken to, leave the singing to the professionals, and tame any ounce of wild we’ve got in us, it can be totally awkward and counterintuitive (thanks to our conditioning) to harness the full potential of our voices. So we’re doing what we can to help you get familiar and maybe even COMFY wielding yours for your own health + happiness! And since we’re still in Gemini season, and #gemini rules the energy of the lungs, throat, and upper respiratory system - NOW is the time! Join us tonight for an intimate Sound Ceremony in honor of your #magicalvoice as we dive deeper into the body’s natural ability to #selfheal Tap the #linkinbio to grab your space!

There is beauty where you look for it And where you look and see none, just wait a while. Things have a way of transforming ... We’ve been dancing with the fires of transformation these past months, invoking the Sacred Flame as a tool for cleansing. Helping us to clear away old brush, revealing fertile ground. Bringing more Light into our home, our work, our world This FIRE we have been tending, nurturing, protecting... And now, as the earth eases into another period of transition and the #summersolstice grows near... This same FIRE calls us to expand, to celebrate, to sigh and sweat, and liberate the parts of ourselves so longing to be SEEN! Now is the time to SHARE ourselves (yes, you too!) with the communities who so benefit from the unique and beautiful medicine we each carry. So, in light of sharing, here are a few things we’ve been transforming behind the scenes lately that have us feeling really good! #healthyboundaries - Keeping firmer boundaries in our relationships with Self and other, so the things we’re doing and the people we’re with feel truly aligned! #selfcare - Devoting more energy to the little (and not so little!) activities and daily habits which #nourish the body and soul. #dailyschedule - Establishing a cleaner schedule around our work and home life, so we can be #fullypresent where we’re needed most. #creation - Refining our creative offerings to better suit our #dreamlife and the amazing communities we serve! Anyone else working with the fire element right now? What’s transforming in your world??

We have an amazing opportunity for all you drummers and drum lovers this weekend! Check it out! <3

Across every continent we’ve walked, the drum is the legacy our ancestors left us - for good reason It’s simple, it’s reliable, it’s accessible, and it works. Over the years, we've seen the rise and fall of many trends, tools, and miracle remedies for just about every symptom and scenario life might throw at you...... But after working with countless clients in the field of spiritual and holistic wellness, we've found the real medicine lies in the simple, empowering practices you can weave into everyday life. And there are few tools as naturally powerful and supportive as the drum when it comes to healing, whether you're looking to access altered states of consciousness or just unwinding after a full day. YOU are a naturally rhythmic creature living in a complex, vibrational universe - and your ancestors knew this There’s a reason Sound Healing has played such a vital role in our collective evolution - but for those who like to geek out on the facts... Here are 3 science-backed truths you may not know about the drum 1 Drumming synchronizes the frontal and lower parts of the brain, integrating nonverbal information and producing long lasting feelings of insight, inspiration, clarity, security, and conviction. 2 Drumming dramatically alters your brainwave patterns and emotional state, reducing stress in the body, and is a proven and effective healing therapy for those experiencing PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other symptoms of emotional trauma and distress to the nervous system. 3 Drumming can help repair and retrain the brain after neurological damage or impairment, generating new neural connections which support higher learning and cognitive function. While this info isn't new, it certainly isn't widely available to most people in our community - and we’re here to change that. We're hosting an enlightening workshop this Sunday, May 30th from 11am-3pm sharing practical tips we've learned and developed over the years, exploring the basics of Sound Therapy and Shamanic Drumming as a powerful approach to restoring the body to a state of optimal health and vitality!

There’s lots of talk of LOVE this time of year, and we’re here to re-mind you...there’s just no love like Self Love! . . With that in mind, we (lovingly) invite you to: - PAUSE... - take a deep breath - sigh it ALL out - take another deep breath, filling your lungs and your entire being with warm, sparkly, luminous LIGHT - give yourself a good hug! - and say aloud to yourself, I LOVE YOUUUUU! . .

Please do something nice for yourself today! . . For me, I took a few extra minutes after my shower to massage my face with this luxurious new #rosequartz gua sha we just got in. I immediately felt the tension in my jaw release, felt my sinuses clear, and best of all, I felt pampered and proud for giving myself the gift of self-care. Amazing what 5 minutes and a little conscious #perspective and #positiveselftalk can do for the Spirit! . .

You re-member how it feels to trust in the grace of God’s timing - and in your SELF. . . Ahh, that’s right. You can trust yourself. . .

THIS! This little hunk of mineral goodness right here - is a conversation starter. And as you can see, the conversation is quite good . . In truth, the crystal and mineral beings, born of the Kingdom of Earth and Stone, have so much to teach us! .... . They fulfill so many roles in our lives, providing us with the natural resources, fuel, and nourishment we need to thrive. They keep time and store memory, little bits of #quartz living inside our watches, phones, and computers. They preserve the stories of our Earth and all the beings she has mothered. They are (literally) our foundation. . . And when it comes to the realm of human spirituality and evolution, the crystals serve as the enlightened gatekeepers. Paving the way, forming a bridge of curiosity - between the mundane realm of common knowledge and the unseen wonder of And what else is there? . . Ahhh, there it is! The zillion dollar question - if one could ever quantify the results. The ice breaker. The opening. The threshold. . . WHAT. ELSE. IS THERE? . . What’s the big deal? Do they reeeally work? What’s this supposed to do for ME? . . Well, the answer is never simple, subjective as this whole reality is for all of us. . . But it’s never been about the answers anyway. It’s the questions. . . Our own willingness to inquire, to explore, to EXPERIENCE something else, something different, something new. . . To OPEN ourselves to the innate abilities we have as highly sensitive, brilliant, intuitive beings, to re-member how we may again perceive and communicate with our world in ways we’ve all but forgotten. . . Can we feel the Life in beings who express themselves differently from us? And can we humble ourselves to their teachings, though they may not speak or move the way we do? . . At the end of the day, whether they’re just pretty little rocks or miracle healing allies...they spark something in most people who are willing to pause long enough to hold one. . . And they’ve made a world of difference - for US. . . So, what else is there for you? Do you work with crystals? What was your personal gateway tool or experience into previously uncharted ideas or possibilities? See more
