Aldea Explores Series – The Rhythms of Life: The Rhythms of Nature

In pristine places in nature the energy is pure and the vibration is high. As we spend time in nature our energy field is cleansed of excess energies, which helps us to feel lighter, more energized and clear. As we walk barefoot on the earth, sit or lay on the ground, or we dig into […]

Aldea Explores Series – The Rhythms of Life: The Rhythms of Change and Transition

“We resist transition not because we can’t accept the change, but because we can’t accept letting go of that piece of ourselves that we have to give up when and because the situation has changed.” ― William Bridges, The Way Of Transition: Embracing Life’s Most Difficult Moments Is there a change you’re resisting? What if […]

Aldea Explores Series – The Rhythms of Life: The Rhythms of Change

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. Maya Angelou Change is one of the most deeply rooted rhythms in life. Everything, and everyone, is always in transition or change. Change is simply a part of the “fabric of consciousness” Without change, […]

Aldea Explores Series – The Rhythms of Life: Wu Wei in Work, Rest, and Recovery

Unforced Doing WuWei  (a term deriving from early Daoism) means to ‘not force the way of things’ in life. And instead to flow with nature, to lean downstream, or as Alan Watts describes it as ‘the art of sailing rather than rowing’. Not to be misunderstood as laziness, but rather engaging in effortless action. Indeed […]

Aldea Explores Series – The Rhythms of Life: Chi, Work, Rest, and Recovery

Energy Flows This principle of a driving life force is, of course, common to many cultures and religious traditions. In Japan it is called “ki,” and in India, “prana” or “shakti.” The ancient Egyptians referred to it as “ka” and the ancient Greeks as “pneuma.” For Native Americans it is the “Great Spirit” and for […]

Aldea Explores Series – The Rhythms of Life: Rhythm Matters

Rhythm Matters Here I think it is important to talk about rhythm. In some ways, the concept of ‘rhythm’ is, in fact, even more important than that of ‘time’. Previously, our physical strength set the limits, which meant that regular pauses were necessary, building a rhythm into our days. Cultural and religious practices, fixed working […]
