December 2025, Issue #291 ~ Tom Robbins, novelist The Tao of Now: Allowing the Arising  Feeling exhausted, lightheaded or numb, with a sense of unreality? Our alchemical transformation has accelerated beyond Warp 9, the numerical keynote of 2025 (2+2+5=9) - and also the number of completion. We're simultaneously releasing and absorbing copious amounts of energy, even as Earth herself is fine-tuning her frequency.It's a lot. Gillian Macbeth Louthan writes, "Deep in Earth's molten core, the planet's magnetic heartbeat is changing. The flow of liquid iron that powers our Earth shield has shifted. The South Atlantic Anomaly, that 'weak spot' scientists track, has grown larger than ever. But here's the part no one's talking about: Every time this field moves, it doesn't just affect satellites - it affects us. "When the magnetic field pulses, the Schumann Resonance - Earth's natural frequency - responds. When solar storms hit during those same windows, we feel the overlap: Pressure in the head, ringing in the ears, waves of fatigue or sudden bursts of anger. Restless sleep, mood swings, vivid dreams show the body is responding to a shift in the field. We're electromagnetic beings on an electromagnetic planet. If the shield is breathing differently - maybe that's why we are too. The Earth's field isn't failing - it's re-tuning its heartbeat." Metamorphosing Our Mental Hygiene  It's a pristine moment to brush our brains with the same diligence we apply to our teeth. For most of us, dental hygiene is a daily habit; mental hygiene, not so much. Yet it's easier to perform than dental care: we can brush our minds in public without anyone noticing. They won't notice the cleaning, that is, only the results: a brighter outlook, sweeter words, and a more loving disposition.But using mental floss on a daily basis... aye, there's the rub. We know the quality of our attention creates our reality. The more power we accord to pain, fear and anxiety (FOMO), the more distrust and suffering we experience. The more love we're able to give to ourselves, the more love we have available to share with others. It's a core concept, one we need to practice daily in order to elevate mental hygiene to a high healing art. And speaking of how Earth is breathing differently... mental clarity begins with the breath. When we say something is "as natural as breathing," we mean it's automatic. Except for many of us, breathing is not very natural! We breathe shallowly, from the neck up, unconsciously constricting ourselves in fear of feeling life fully. This constraint makes it much more difficult to open our minds and hearts to galactic consciousness. How We Say Goodbye... and Hello  In this light, a recent post by HeatherAsh Amara (with whom I firewalked on my 49th birthday) arrested my attention: shaman, musician and author Francis Rico has left the Earth plane.I met Francis a decade ago for a healing session. Being in his presence was a blessing. When someone carries innate power and wisdom, you feel it. HeatherAsh, herself a longtime practitioner of shamanic arts, spoke of how an unexpected death is startling: "One moment a person's voice fills your Inbox, and the next - silence. A vacancy where their form once was. And yet, they live on in the quiet spaces of our hearts." How we say goodbye to what is leaving our sphere, individually and collectively, determines what kind of space is available for the new to nest in our bodies, minds and hearts. She quoted Francis's final email: "You are the gift of life to life... open to this present moment with love, and without fear... bringing sanity, wellness, and mutual benefit into our lives, and into the lives of all we touch." HeatherAsh concludes, "May we take this as a reminder to stay connected - to speak the love while we can, to live our gratitude out loud, to make our work a celebration of life itself." I invite you to take a deep belly breath of life and enjoy a long winter's rest before welcoming in 2026! Please share on Twitter!
