Resonance Through Storytelling

Birdsong Beginnings this New Year

Melanie Adrianna Season 1 Episode 7

Join me in this New Year 2025 podcast episode as we explore the profound connection we all share with the earth. Through observing nature and our own connection to ancestral resilience, we uncover the concept of syntropy—nature’s organizing principle that stands in contrast to entropy. This episode invites you to observe the recurring themes and messages in your life, offering guidance to navigate change with harmony and grace.

Tune into the vibrant symphony of birdsong as we journey through my travels in the Midwest, eastern United States, and Costa Rica. Discover the unique harmonic patterns that birds bring to regulate the planetary frequencies. Whether you’re surrounded by an orchestra of feathered friends or need to seek them out, the surprising beauty of birdsong offers a powerful reminder of the vitality and joy of the natural world. Let these melodies guide you towards a deeper connection with the earth and yourself this New Year.

Thank you for tuning in and creating this space with me.

I'm creating an energy field for storytelling, taking a breath in and aligning my central channel. I'm calling in the listeners who are in resonance with the stories I am here to share, share. I'm asking that my alignment and source energy bring through the words, the ideas, the intentions and the wisdom to support the greatest illumination of consciousness in this space. Happy New Year, happy 2025. Much is reorganizing this year. I can feel you fluttering around the room like butterflies. I can feel you fluttering around the room like butterflies. There are a lot of new projects that you're working on in this new year. A lot of excitement buzzing. Many of us have intentions for having a new experience this year.

Speaker 1:

Today, I'm going to talk about the connection to the earth. I just moved into a new apartment and there is a park across the street and I got to take a walk this morning and say hello to the trees. Touching the earth and putting my hands on trees is one of my essential practices that I've been doing for quite a long time. When I need to reset my energy, my energetic polarity and get myself out of my head, I go to a park and I listen to the birds and I touch trees. Old, wise friends. I've had this experience since I can't really remember when it started, but I've done this thing where I'll put my hands on trees, especially old grandmother trees and trees in old growth forests, and I'll ask the trees to show me their life and the life of the forest, and it's like as if a time capsule of what has transformed in their surrounding space flashes before my eyes. I can see the growth and the death, the cycles of change, the movement of people, structures, land shifting from rains and sediment. What is your relationship to the earth, to the land? Do you like to garden? Do you like to get out in nature? I can see that we have a lot of bird watchers, birding people, in the audience today. Birds perform a really essential function for our energetic environment. Their songs actually transmute and release energy to harmonize the planet and our environments. You can ask for their help too. I've had many experiences where I'll lay down in a park or I'll sit on a bench in a park and I'll ask for support from the birds to sing and help me release.

Speaker 1:

Until recently, I was living in Asheville, north Carolina, and for several months coming up to the event of Hurricane Helen, I felt nauseous. For months I would go to work every day and inexplicably I felt sick to my stomach change and I had no idea what it would be. But in that time I did everything I could to self-regulate. I thought maybe there's something wrong with my health or my digestion or I'm eating something that's not healthy for me, and so I was really focusing on cooking healthy foods. Cooking healthy foods, taking nature walks and I would go to the backyard and put my feet in the earth and ask for the support of the birds and they would fly into the trees in the backyard and they would start singing while I was meditating and I could actually feel like a buzzing and popping of energy from my body and a release of tension. During times of change we can feel unsettled. The collective is still very much in an in-between phase of release and starting anew.

Speaker 1:

Many of us are getting clues about the path moving forward, pieces of information or conversations that keep coming up. I like to pay attention to those things. It's not a coincidence If the same random topics come up in conversation with completely unrelated circumstances and people. The universe has a natural inclination towards centropy, an organizing principle of redirecting energy and flow into its most harmonic state. Redirecting energy and flow into its most harmonic state. This is actually the opposite of entropy, the idea that things are degrading and falling apart. Centropy is the natural state of vitality within our bodies, our minds, our emotions, our communities and our relationship to the planet. Our communities and our relationship to the planet. You see this in nature all the time. Gardeners out there I'm sure many of you have seen the resilience of plants and the creative ways that, even under the most stressful conditions, they find ways of thriving, of growing in unideal soils or popping up through the cracks in the cement. People do that too. We do that through our resilience and our creative power.

Speaker 1:

My grandmother on my mother's side just came in. She's one of my greatest reminders of resilience and creativity. My mom's parents were immigrants from Ukraine and they lived in Riverdale in the Bronx in New York City for many decades and my grandmother was a seamstress and a phenomenal cook and she was extremely resourceful. She could take any kind of fabric and turn it into the most beautiful piece of clothing and she was constantly moving and doing and creating, whether it was various forms of Ukrainian craftsmanship making babke, ukrainian bread or kistochka so many different kinds of cookies. Kistochka so many different kinds of cookies. When we came into town, she would cook up a storm of stuffed cabbage, holubtsi, varennyke, the Ukrainian pierogies, and borscht beet soup. Some of you are getting hungry now. Me too. I can feel her hand on my back, over my heart space. I feel warmth and nourishment and support. She's helping me release something and I can feel a new window of spaciousness open up inside of me. When I look at that window inside of me, I can hear birds and I see birds.

Speaker 1:

In the light of this new year, I encourage you to tune into the birds the birds in your neighborhood or in your local parks or trails, listen to what they have to say and listen to how you feel when you listen to them.

Speaker 1:

For about six months, starting in mid-2022 until the end of the year, I was camping around the Midwest and the east side of the United States with my former partner, and we also went down to Costa Rica, and in all the places we went, I recorded the birds. I noticed that wherever I would go, the birds created a different type of harmonic in each environment. They were creating vortices and fields of vibration through their song, and I was paying attention and listening to how they nourished and supported the vitality of their environments. So today I'm going to leave you with some of those songs and if you're in a place that doesn't have a lot of birdsong, I encourage you to take a drive outside of town and find a nice trail to take a walk and listen. You may be pleasantly surprised what you find. Thank you, thank you.
