Chemistry is our bridge.
When you send a signal out into the field, whether that is a prayer, an intention, a piece of creative work, or simply the way you walk into a room, the emotion underneath it is the bow behind the arrow. The arrow can be happiness, it can be love, it can be anger, and in every case it is the chemistry of the emotion that amplifies the shot and sets its trajectory.

Your emotional system does the amplifying for everything the rest of you is trying to say. It carries the physical across into soul, and out into the larger field you are part of and contributing to. The cleaner and fuller that chemistry, the further the signal travels.

Your chemistry is most easily governed by your physiology, which means it is most easily governed by your choices. How you choose to enter a conversation. What you choose to eat. How and when you choose to sleep. These are not lifestyle details sitting off to the side of your energetic life, they are the tension in the bowstring.

So the next time something matters to you, pause before you begin and notice what chemistry you are drawing back with. Then change one physiological thing, your breath, your posture, the water you have had today, the hour you went to bed, and feel the draw change with it.

The eco-intuition short course at NESBEM is near and dear to my heart, especially this time of year. Exploring the threshold places and relationships between the human and non-human world. Definitely worth exploring!

Perhaps you've felt it, just as I have — a quiet pull toward something deeper. A whisper in the rustle of leaves, an invitation in the stillness before dawn. A sense that the world is speaking, if only your senses, beyond the main five, were tuned, once again, to it's frequency.

This is not a new skill to acquire. It is a remembering. A return to an older way of being — where perception extends beyond thought, where the body knows what the mind has forgotten.

You are already standing at the threshold. This course invitates you to cross with us.

All those feels.... are they yours or cosmic influence?

So, two nights ago, roughly 10,900 birds left Bennington County here in Vermont, about 2 hours after sunset to start their winter migration.

Using challenging situations as a practice for upleveling your coherence game is a beautiful way to stay calm, stay curious, and manage stress.
What are your practices?

Taking a little nature break, enjoying a parent wood pigeon with two of its adolescent but still very dependent children. Ah the natural world feeds my soul.

Causality of constraint is one of the pillars in our Applied Bioenergetic Medicine program, and in the full video, I walk through why it’s better understood as dynamic tension, and why flow is what keeps that tension doing its job instead of turning into something else.

I think it’s valuable to note that dynamic tension isn’t something to eliminate. Your heart needs a certain amount of pressure to beat. Your blood needs dynamic pressure to move through your body. Your breath needs tension, filling and releasing your diaphragm, to move in and out of you at all.

The pressure keeping your heart beating and the tension you’ve been trying to eliminate from your day are the same force, at different amounts, moving through different rhythms, in flow or stuck.

The amount matters. Whether it’s flowing matters just as much. That’s the difference between tension doing its job and tension that’s just sitting there. This is a foundational understanding to greater energetic alignment and developing multi-dimensional coherence.

We have a membership platform for the bioenergetically curious and/or those looking for coherence minded community. We are hosting our 'campus' in Mighty Networks. Micro-practices, free webinars, tidbits of interesting info from the courses and programs that we offer at NESBEM and the research we do on the farm (the new farm). Shout out if you'd like more info!

You do not need to know the whole path before you begin.

At NESBEM, there are multiple thresholds into the work: curiosity, community, training, and deeper practice.

The question is not, “Am I ready for everything?”
The question is, “What is calling me now?”

Embodied practices, giving 'voice' to alternate ways of knowing, learning to navigate the world with all of your systems, not just your head... these are the critical entry points for deeper levels of multidimensional coherence.

What's your practice? Are you engaging it today? One yes to yourself is all it takes to make a difference in the quality of your experience.

When being learning means coming into greater alignment and being part of an aligned community it becomes a game changer....for you and the world. Check out The New England School for Bioenergetic Medicine.

What makes the New England School of Bioenergetic Medicine different?

We believe learning is more than watching videos or collecting information. It happens through conversation, guided practice, mentorship, and community.

NESBEM is a live, relational learning environment where students explore the body, mind, emotions, soul, and environment as one living system—developing coherence through experience, not just theory. Whether you're a practitioner, educator, leader, or lifelong learner, you'll be supported every step of the way.

Because meaningful education doesn't just change what you know. It changes how you engage with the world.
