The Sacred Conductor

There are many different forms of the same chemical compounds—some deemed good for you, others deemed not—but all, in truth, are the very same substance. What makes the difference?

There are many factors, but consider salt: the compound of sodium. It is a necessary component of your body and evident in nearly everything you consume or touch. Yet when it has been oxidized or reformatted, as in table salt, it is deemed bad. Meanwhile, it exists abundantly and healingly in the oceans, where wildlife and mammals live within it. Salt not only nourishes—it preserves. It remembers the tone of wholeness even amid change. It cures and stabilizes what would otherwise decay, carrying the memory of life through time. In this way, salt is a sacred conductor, a bridge between matter and memory, between what is fleeting and what endures.

Some of this difference comes from what you’ve been told—what you believe about how a thing feels or affects you. Some comes from the way substances are altered so that they combine with other particles—unwanted passengers that become burdens to carry.

All this to say: how you feel around what you consume matters. Feel into the substance. Raise it energetically—as if offering it to your system—rather than mindlessly consuming. Even a potato chip doesn’t have to be harmful when approached in this way.

You have far more ability and authority within your own bodily functions than you may have been taught. Yet in many cases, awareness of your own feelings and intuitive knowing has been handed over to others—those considered experts.

The children among you are still intuitive and aware, yet this sensitivity is often taught out of them. You may learn much by remembering through them. Look deeply into the eyes of a child and see the light of yourself reflected back. You exist there—in all ways.

Know your grace. Know your goodness. Know your place in the cosmic puzzle.

Trust your knowing, your body’s signals, and your beautiful intuition.
