The Hum of Life

Our environments create a certain vibration, which affects us on a physical and cellular level. So I am talking about the hum of life, the birds and bees and the rustle of the leaves. Of course I am also talking about the buzz and hum of synthetic life.

Compare for example how you feel about the rain falling on the roof, to how you feel about being in a room of buzzing flourescent lights - which create a subtle buzzing. One is soothing, and the other is dissonant.

What kind of environments are we living in? And are these environments good for our well being?

I am in favour of regular (or continual) eco-therapy, where our physical body can harmonize with the life forms and landscape around us. Pure air and water do a lot for our well being, and also being able to come to a quiet place inside ourselves. Being in nature naturally facilitates the meditative state - this is hugely underestimated. You don't have to do anything, just be around nature and it will automatically bring you back into balance.

My father is a regular tramper (hiker for you Americans), and this is his way of coming back to that quiet place.

Being in synthetic environments, there is a lot of white noise and dissonant shapes + forms. We don't fully understand the implications of being in these environments, from my experience it is a very important factor. From my experience being in synthetic environments for a long time (especially when surrounded by frightened of agitated people) we will passively start to become agitated as well.

Some practice is required to maintain an energized and optimistic state of being, whether this is dancing, painting, meditation, yoga, or chanting mantras. Perhaps all of this extra work could be avoided if we organised ourselves into more harmonious living and working arrangements? This is the push toward the simpler life that is so big in the collective consciousness right now - we know what is up, even if just subconsciously.

We become like what we are exposed to, we are highly sensitive beings that attune ourselves to our environment.
