My nose scrunches, as I inhaled an entirely new sensation. A burning smell ran up the edges of my nose, bringing a slight confusion and curiosity. I continued to inhale and exhale as I breathed, closely paying attention to the feeling and smell with each of these simple yet powerful movements. I took note throughout the day of other senses that have shifted; my eyes have become increasingly sensitive to certain lights, my ears continuously ring and/or ache with pressure or pings, my entire body can feel things coming before they happen, and I have an acute awareness of my bodies reactions to nearly everything.

Death and rebirth over and over… This process has brought a surprising sense of unfamiliarity. Scientists have explained our cellular restructuring happens, in full, every seven years. Meaning we are, essentially, different people in seven-year increments, coinciding astrological cycles. Following some of the most profound healing experiences, I have an awareness of the regeneration along with my heightened sense of my physical body.

A sense of confidence and ease in knowing who I am has brought this physical feeling of dense, yet lightness to my entire being. My grounded energy meeting my light spirit, perhaps. Nevertheless, I share in a space of invitation to continue this internal discovery and healing. The more we heal, the more we expand, continuing the ripples of love and compassion in the world we live.
