I’m excited to be presenting on “Melatonin and the Architecture of Consciousness: Light, Mitochondria, and the Rhythms of Awareness” at The Science of Consciousness Conference this week!

I’ve been fascinated by melatonin for years, particularly as I’ve explored the intersection of science and spirituality.

Most people think of melatonin as a sleep hormone, but I see it as something much more expansive: a biological messenger connecting light, darkness, mitochondrial function, and our changing states of awareness.

In my presentation, I’ll be exploring the emerging science of melatonin and consciousness, from circadian rhythms and dream states to biophotons, neuronal microtubules, and the fascinating possibilities of quantum biology.

What intrigues me most is that science is giving us new ways to appreciate something ancient wisdom traditions have long recognized: darkness has its own intelligence, rhythm, and purpose. We spend so much time seeking the light. But what might the darkness have to teach us?

Hormones are messengers throughout the body, responding to environmental signals. Even though they are chemical in composition, I also see them as symbolic and archetypal in relationship to their functions. Each hormone has deeper meanings, so and shift in them is not just a physical message, but perhaps a psychospiritual one, too.

October 8th welcomes the Earth Dog. The Dog of the month is supported by the Horse year making this a harmonious month in some ways but also supports stubbornness. The Earth Dog is renowned for being tough on those who don't listen. As usual we want to use the energy not fight it.

Therefore Earth Dog Month (Oct 8th to 6th Nov) is the ideal time to take a look at ourselves. Who are we loyal to and is it justified? Are we loyal to ourselves? What and who should we protect more and are we unnecessarily protecting something? Who should we spend more time with and greet them excitedly? Perhaps we need to guard our time and inner peace more or protect those we love?

Not all Dogs are the same, the Earth Dog is deeply grounded, loyalty is valued and he can be feisty when boundaries are broken or we don't do our very best. He is always on alert and rests little. Let's use the qi but not be too stubborn on ourselves or others despite what this guard dog encourages us to do!

Like Dogs we benefit when we forgive easily and send unconditional love - even to those who have disappointed us. Dogs live in the now, they enjoy the small things like sunshine and butterflies. They remind us that happiness comes from enjoying the simple life and being surrounded by those we love - this month let's be more like a Dog.

The Dog is the 9th zodiac animal and represents the end of autumn, a time of contraction, to go within and take stock of the past year and take action where necessary. The leaves are brown and the trees let go of what they no longer need. It is now time for us to do the same. The annual energy reached its point in August and started to calm down in September. But don't be fooled if this month feels calmer - it has a strong undercurrent - there is an unseen rip.

Feng Shui wise the SE has fabulous combinations of celebrations, the East and North are also beneficial places to spend time in. We need to look after our money - don't overspend, stick to a budget that sort of thing. The South is not great all year and especially not good this month.

Happy Earth Dog Month 🐾🐶🐕

9/14/26: Keeping in mind that you’ll be working for the next 9 years with the actions you take and the choices you make throughout the rest of this year, it’s time to get serious about the journey. Making mindful decisions, organizing priorities and processes, and establishing a pace that will sustain you easily, happily, and comfortably. The Fire Horse is here to guide us through revealing what isn’t true or sustainable in our lives, shifting our focus to our personal business, opening new creative avenues, expanding our perception, testing our commitment and strength, and generally getting us moving. But it can’t do it for us. Today is for mid-month acceleration and making more room to run.

9/7/26: When you travel with the Fire Horse, as you are this year, you follow its lead. You go where it takes you, even if it’s uncomfortable. You absorb its power and passion. You measure success not by the world’s standards but by your own merit. You’re not concerned with the disapproval of those who criticize your growth while wasting their own potential. Who take the easy way out but still expect to be invited in. This year’s energy, with its transformative, unapologetic, expansive, disruptive, and irreverent nature, will not come back for 60 years. Don’t throw away this chance at accelerated individuation. At being empowered to bring your truth into a world you’re helping to create.

9/1/2026: A new beginning is dawning.

The choice lies with each of us to decide what comes next as we co-create the reality we desire. Will it be based in old ways, old labels, old expectations, old programs? Or will it be a fresh start?

The time has come to claim our authenticity, to honor our gifts, to embrace our divine connection. Playing the victim is a story of the past. Fear based living doesn’t fit here. Today we claim our power, open fully with a loving heart, and move toward New Earth together.
