The Spectrum of Light [Gene Key 11]
The Many Names of Love...

12/16/2025

I had planned to contemplate on the 12 Holy Nights on my own, then I saw The Gene Keys are also offering inspiration in that direction too.

It's free and includes some nice audio attunements. It looks like an interesting take on this theme:

Seeding your dreams in the soil of the year to come. Enjoy this free gift - a gentle nightly practice of contemplation, ritual, and inner renewal.

"In the contemplative traditions—Franciscan, Eastern, the mystics who learned to pray in the dark—this kind of gratitude isn’t about answers. It’s about presence.

It’s standing before the Holy with empty hands, with your grief and your joy both visible, and saying: This is what I have. This is where I am. Not because God needs the report, but because you need to stop pretending you’re holding it all together.

The practice isn’t complicated. It’s simply this: pause. Let yourself feel what you actually feel—the sorrow, the beauty, the fear, the strange flicker of joy that appears even in hard seasons.

And then, without fixing or explaining any of it, offer it. Not to an idea of God, but to the Mystery that holds you whether you understand it or not." ~Donnie Yance

I'll be there - you bet!
How fortunate to have my Los Angeles Traditional Chinese Medicine school's spiritual studies branch, The Collage of Tao, come across the country into what is basically my backyard!

I'm also looking forward to going to The Art of Living Retreat Center for the first time. Have you been yet?

If you have inclinations toward the I-Ching, Qi Gong, Taoist Philosophy, and being with folks who make balanced cultivation a priority -please consider attending too.

​Set amidst 380+ breathtaking acres of pristine forest high up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, North Carolina, the Art of Living Retreat Center is a renowned sanctuary of peace that eases the mind and inspires the soul.

"The real target of evil is to corrupt the spirit of man and to give his soul the contagion of inner disintegration...
Therefore the evil in the world around us must not be allowed to move from without to within...
To drink in the beauty that is within reach, to clothe one's life with simple deeds of kindness, to keep alive a sensitiveness to the movement of the spirit of God in the quietness of the human heart and in the workings of the human mind- this is as always the ultimate answer to the great deception."

Howard Thurman, Meditations of the Heart, pg.110: Life Goes On

If you are in the area tomorrow, this is a great festival with vendors and programs galore (and Green People!💚)

I'm facilitating a program at 11 am about
HERBAL PATHS TO SELF- Rituals of Remembrance
To experience this significant and affirming link that herbs help us forge.

Here's some food for thought...
✨ I love this quote from the Numen Movie:
Ann Ambrecht, PhD, anthropologist and Director at The Sustainable Herbs Initiative, interviews the late, great Bill Mitchell, ND, mystic, doctor, and founder of Bastyr Naturopathic College. ✨

"The plant medicines are very good attractors. They have a taste. They have a smell that sometimes triggers an experience in youth of smelling this thing or tasting it. And that is part of the healing as well.
So, revelation, revelatory moments are part of the healing experience, and the plants participate in that.
I believe, honestly, that the herbs sometimes want to be part of us, want to be part of the healing process, almost call to us.
Well, who’s attracting who? Are we attracted to the plant, or is the plant attracting itself to us?
It is a magical and mystical as well as scientific and logical journey, and they’re all married together; it doesn’t feel like anything is separate."
