I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #573 - Resurrecting My Energy Practices, and Two More Sessions Set - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, February 21, 2024

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It would seem that I'm moving along with my 2024 Life Goals somewhat well, as I'm now touching on yet another goal on my list, as well as grounding more solidly in the goals that I've already begun to actualize. The biggest and most important one, however, and the first one on my list, healing my broken heart, doesn't feel like it's moving along well, as I'm still not in a good mental-emotional state most of the time, but more things in my life are starting to flow again, or they're at least trying to flow, despite my still-existent resistance.

The second item on my list of goals for this year, Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness, and do regular integral practices, is another one that I'm now addressing, at least in the second part, do regular integral practices. I was talking with Bryan's girlfriend Sarah yesterday, and she is interested in me teaching/leading her through my Energy Practices, in which I used to engage and teach regularly before coming to Hawai'i. These Energy Practices are a synergistic combination, being the alchemist that I am, of my own version of Heaven-to-Earth Charging Breath, The Five Tibetan Rites, Donna Eden's 5-Minute Daily Energy Routine, and various exercises from Polarity Yoga, that make one feel amazing when practiced with a regular cadence. I haven't practiced them in full in many years, so it feels very good to be resurrecting them once again to teach and bring back into my own life. Sarah and I were planning to begin our first practice on Thursday, today, but it had to be rescheduled until tomorrow, which gives me a little more time to fully remember and mentally run through the sequence. These are powerful practices, and I'm very much looking forward to embodying them in my life again.

My deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions with women also seem to be flowing to a greater extent. Two women that I know, and with whom I've worked in sessions several times each, Kula and Harmony, have both scheduled sessions with me for next week, Kula on Wednesday, and Harmony on Friday or Saturday. Harmony, who used to live here, and who still visits regularly, just arrived again from the mainland last night, with her friend Nivah. I haven't talked with Nivah yet, but word has already come to me that she wants a session with me too. When it rains, it pours, as the saying goes. Months of no sessions, and then once I give one woman a session, many more schedule sessions in close sequence. I've already given two, to Nadia and Amelia, and now Kula and Harmony are in queue, with Liza and Nivah as likely potentials. The there's my friend, Audrey, who's coming back to the Island shortly, and who always wants regular sessions. Excellent.

I've also been doing more work in my nursery regularly, organizing, cleaning, weeding, up-potting and repotting, and the like, slowly bringing it to a beautiful state once again. As I work in my nursery, I've also been collecting plants there that very much need to be put in the ground, and I've been planting them in a few small batches at a time, which feels quite satisfying. Now I have to get into the fenced garden to start weeding again, something with which Sarah also said she wanted to help. I still have as yet to prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again, but I do at least now have all of the infrastructure that I need to do so, which is a very good start.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, a little after 2:30PM. I focused on taking photos for this post first, and when I had that finished, I strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend early again, then I delivered a quart of it to Sperry. With all that done, I went to my nursery to continue with organizing, cleaning, weeding, and up-potting. It's still a disaster, but it's at least beginning to look a little better, at least on one side. With work done, I took a shower, grabbed my leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and headed back to the Flow House to jump into my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on notifications, while I listened to the most recent Qortal Think Tank. I was able to get everything finished just before 10:15PM, and I spent the rest of my evening doing a round of token management, checking in on Bastyon, DeSo, and X, finally going to bed just about 12AM. I don't want to go into the details, but I was not able to sleep at all last night, feeling pretty triggered as I was, which I'm definitely feeling today. I did a short round of token management around 8:30AM, and then I got out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

I had most of this post written before I attended the 10AM NVC meeting, which had way more people in it than I've seen in a long time, 17 people total. Everyone was pretty happy, except for me. My check-in was the only non-positive, uninspiring one, but that's what I was authentically feeling. I left just before a new community-connection exercise, that Ano was going to lead, as I didn't really feel that I could participate in any useful way. Yeah, my heart is still deeply wounded, and I get triggered pretty easily, especially around human connection. Oh well, it is what it is, for now. After leaving the meeting, I returned to the Flow House to continue writing this post.

It's now just after 11:45PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon, to first take photos for tomorrow's incarnation of this post, and then land work, likely in my nursery once again. I deeply appreciate you all so much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
