How are you coping with today’s powerful energies? There’s no doubt we are living in transformative times — times that may feel downright chaotic. The air hums with intensity, the world shifts beneath our feet, and some days, it feels like we are caught in a whirlpool, torn apart by forces too big to comprehend. Climate. Economics. Politics. Our communities. Our own hearts. It’s natural to feel completely ungrounded.

Yet we are not here by accident. Because we are awake to the chaos, we also have the power to understand and work with these transformative energies for a better present and future.  Whether we approach life from the perspective of chaos theory and quantum physics, or through ancient spiritual philosophies like Vedanta, both science and spirituality highlight fundamental principles that are deeply connected to healing and can guide us through these times:

Uncertainty is our pathway to true power. 

‍The uncertainty we feel in ourselves now reflects our reckoning with the nature of life being impermanent.  To conquer our fear of the unknown — which is related, ultimately — to our fear of death, we must accept the life and death cycle that exists in everything in this world. When we stop resisting the cycles of life, we open to our full creative power, step into our full authority, and manifest needed shifts for ourselves and others for a more stable healing reality. In healing work, we witness this constantly: energy fields shift in milliseconds.  We don’t get bowled over by this truth of dynamism in healing — we ground, allow, and use our talents to foster coherence in healing. It is the same with the rest of our lives.  As we work with the field toward creating coherence, we create stability, coherence and hope for ourselves and others.

From pain arises compassion.

‍Every force has its counterforce. Quantum physics refers to this as complementarity, while Advaita Vedanta describes it as the dualistic nature of our world (which they consider an illusion, or maya). When we see suffering arising from a false sense of separation, our hearts ache because we are wired for connection. As we cultivate our abilities to observe the dance of maya, we notice our natural arising of empathy when we witness hatred, violence and the suffering of others. Paradoxically, our suffering allows our hearts to grow wider, and as we release our fears, we move toward compassionate action. Grounding in compassion allows us to move energetically from being “beside ourselves” to being in, and leading with, our hearts.

We are united through a field of awareness and energy. 

Science is uncovering what indigenous wisdom has always shared: we are part of a vast, interconnected field of energy and awareness. The latest biofield healing research confirms what healers have felt for centuries — our ability to heal is real, measurable, and profoundly powerful. More than 400 peer-reviewed studies show that conscious healing with the biofield can ease pain, anxiety, PTSD, and more. Groundbreaking research with cells and animals from institutions like MD Anderson Cancer Center is revealing that biofield healing may even slow the spread of cancer through shifting electrical and molecular communication between cells.  Data also suggest that when we come together — when we practice healing as a community — the coherence we create is palpable, even measurable. 

This Is Our Time

When we take a moment to reflect on these principles, current human behavior becomes clearer. It’s no coincidence that, at a time of global conflict and unrest, Telepathy Tapes — a podcast exploring psychic connections between children with autism — has become the number one podcast in the U.S. People are waking up. We are craving something deeper.

Healers — you are at the center of this great turning. Through your own grounded presence, through your ability to allow for divine energies to flow through you, through your willingness to step into the unknown with courage and grace, you are helping to realign the chaotic energies of our time into coherence, wholeness, and love.   

Healing is not a solo act. It is a collective awakening. Each of us is a cell of humanity with immense power to create social coherence. As always, we start with ourselves, and then our actions ripple outward to inspire hope, protection and healing in others. 

In these strong energetic times, please nourish yourself with gentleness, sangha (spiritual community), and time with Nature to ground into coherence and bring your compassionate light and magical gifts to the world. I encourage you to join in and be nourished with the community where you feel called. The biofield teaches us — we are never alone.

This Month’s Practice

To remind ourselves that we are limitless, and to help bring our energies into coherence, we can practice OM in the body. This 3-minute practice makes use of the multiple cavities of resonance in the body that are activated by sound by showing you how to resonate the primordial sound “OM”, powerfully in your body.  You can do this practice daily (I highly recommend it)!
