The Mind Leads The Qi

,
 

The mind leads the qi.
As an artist I consciously use this awareness to create.
And as a healer I am also constantly aware of this;
in a session with me you can trust that I am continuously present with you, with my entire focus.

I believe that human beings are some of the most sensitive and advanced beings in the universe.
Not in terms of technology.
In terms of what we can sense and do with our consciousness.
Most of us haven’t fully developed this part of our being yet,
as we currently live in an environment where it’s not conducive to do so.
Our current way of going about things can be likened to jumping around with one leg tied up,
when trying to walk.
We have the potential for so much more.
I believe this is about to change, if we allow the existing impulse to grow.
Instead of increasingly outsourcing our personal power to technology.
How are you using your mind to lead qi?
Your body’s qi status is closely related to how you use your mind.
What are you focusing on in your day to day?
Are you using your mind to integrate emotions, without letting them damage your energy system?
Are you consciously training your mind to lead qi where it is most beneficial for you?

A large benefit of Seena Energetics is becoming increasingly aware of your own qi.

Happy Hanukkah

 

My mom and I baked these two seeded challahs.

One of my favorite holiday traditions is baking a challah together with my mom.
This year we tried a cool recipe with seeded strands - it makes braiding a breeze!
Here is the recipe:

Ingredients, two breads:

  • 665 g flour

  • 20 g dry yeast

  • 2 teaspoons of salt

  • 60 g sugar

  • 0.4 dl olive oil

  • 4.2 dl luke warm water

Toppings:
about 1 cup of each topping
1 egg

Directions:

  1.   In a mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, oil and active dry yeast.
    2.  Using a mixer with a knead/hook attachment or your hands, slowly add warm water to the dry ingredients.
    3.Mix until the dough comes together, ensuring it's moist and not too dry.
    4. Knead the dough in the mixer for 12 minutes or by hand for 20 minutes.
    5. Cover with a kitchen towel, then let it rise in fridge overnight.

6. The next day: Divide the dough into 18 equal balls of approx 65 grams each and cover for a second round of rising of 25 minutes.
7. Roll each ball into a 14-inch strand. Wet a paper towel, roll one strand in it, then coat in your toppings. Repeat for 6 strands, 2 of each topping.

8. Take 2 plain strands and set one topping-coated strand, in between them. We used: poppy seeds, sesame seeds and flax seeds. Repeat for the remaining strands. Braid together.
9. Place the braided challahs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let it proof for 20 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 350°F/176°C. Beat one full egg and brush it only on the plain strands (not seeded ones!) using a thin paintbrush.
11. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the challah has a golden deep color.

 

All About Candace

 

If you only read three more books this year, make them:
The Molecules Of Emotion by Dr. Candace Pert (1997)
All You Need To Feel Go(o)d by Dr. Candace Pert (2007)
Candace Pert: Genius, Greed and Madness In The World Of Science by Pamela Ryckman (2023)

The books by Dr. Pert will make you familiar with her concepts and discoveries,
including that of the molecules of emotion,
if you’re not already in the know.
They will make you remember the importance of feeling your feelings and integrating them,
after which it’s equally important to consciously choose what to direct your attention towards for the betterment,
or maintenance of, your health.
How you choose to use your prefrontal cortex matters;
interrupting your own negative thought patterns is key,
as how you feel affects you down to a chemical level.

Be generous towards yourself and others. Always.

To me, the books also serve as reminders of how we are all slightly different versions of ourselves,
depending on the emotional state we are in that day.
It doesn't excuse bad behavior,
but it makes it easier to understand and forgive when someone displays a less resourceful side of themselves.
We have tons of sensory receptors which has a memory of everything we’ve ever sensed
along the afferent (sensory incoming) nerves going into the spinal cord.
This means that we are constantly experiencing “reality”
through a prism that’s unique to us.
I’ve talked about this before in my TikToks and Youtubes from a more esoteric perspective;
Candace proved the same thing a long time ago, using hard science.
We are all receivers of signals, impulses and impressions;
but these frequencies are conducted through our own filter.
That’s why it is so very important not to judge or assume, and to remain open to becoming increasingly aware of our own blind-spots, also know as shadows.

The last book on the list is a truly fascinating read about Candace by Pamela Ryckman.
It’s also available on audiobook and gives a 360 degree view of this most inspiring and sharp woman who,
like all of us, had her share of professional and personal triumphs and upsets.

 

Natural science & Sacred science

The difference between a natural scientist
and a sacred scientist:
A natural scientist looks and investigates
things outside himself.
In the world of questions.
A mystic looks inside and uses himself as the lab;
studying how things are perceived there,
and eventually he finds the deep truths by experience.
Have the guts to go to the world of answers.
And no matter what world you are in:
Always remember to see through the noise, into the tiny flame.
Focus on that and nourish that. In yourself and others.

A Must-Read For Spiritual Scientists

Dr. Yang’s The Dao De Jing - A Qigong Interpretation

Currently reading The Dao De Jing: A Qigong Interpretation by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming.
If you’re interested in The Dao, as well as health and healing, this will be a real treat for you.
Dr. Yang also has many great videos on YouTube where he talks about
Qigong, energy centers and energy flow. Linked one of them in my previous post, below.
The book is available on Amazon and other places.

It's hard to be an optimist, but..

Seena recording at Tuff Gong Studios, Kingston, Jamaica, August 2024

It’s hard to be an optimist, but the alternative is worse.
Through life’s ups and downs it’s allowed to fail, but it’s not allowed to give up and lose faith.
Whatever you’re going through, don’t drop your end of the rope. The universe will take care of the rest.

5%

From NASA:
The universe is made up of three components: normal or visible matter (5%),
dark matter (27%), and dark energy (68%).
Dark matter and dark energy are mysterious substances that affect and shape the cosmos,
and scientists are still trying to figure them out.
(Source: https://science.nasa.gov/universe/overview/building-blocks/ )

From Seena:
At the subatomic level, even what we refer to as ‘visible matter’ is energy.
Human beings are extremely sensitive, energetic beings.

Take it from Max

Max Plank:

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such!
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. . . .
We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind.
This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
