From seed to tree to dead branch to mushroom to soil to grass. Every single atom is on a constant journey of transformation. From the colour in an insect's wing, to the energy that creates sound. And there is a Wisdom, a wild Wisdom, to this immense, abundant diverse creation. It is the Wisdom that has built you. The very structure of your bones, your muscles, your organs. That is the same Wisdom that creates all Life. It grow your bones, as it grow the forest. It flows in your blood as it flows in the stream. And it sings in your Heart, as it sings in the song of the birds. That's my faithful helper Mr McNookster over there in the stream. As we remember, truly remember, that we are part of Nature, which means, part of the endless cycle of Life after Life, the endless transformation, it means we can never leave even when we die and we have always been here as part of one Life. And this is the reality. This is the truth. Let that penetrate your Heart and enable you to relax into the security of always being carried by Life. We live in challenging times, but turning again to our true Nature, is a doorway into the real Magic that is ever present. It is the container of Joy in which everything else rests. This is Know you Are Earth. This podcast is designed as an antidote to the news, to uplift and inspire, to ignite and invigorate. These are qualities that we need now. Please share it with your friends. You can subscribe on itunes and then receive a notification every time one is ready, once a week for about 10 minutes.

Woodpecker party! Welcome to the Woodpecker Party! From where I’m sitting, I can hear at least five different woodpeckers. I hardly dare speak. What an incredible difference in sound there is now even compared to last week. It's not even an Imbolc yet. Share with your friends!

It marks the time when the first stirring starts to reveal itself. The snow drops, the buds getting really big. What comfort there is in these cycles. We are not on a linear trajectory where we have failed to live up to our full potential as humans. This is part of a spiral. With no beginning and no end. The bushman of the Kalahari say that when you notice a certain animal, its song or its track, a thin thread is created between you. As you notice again and again the same animal, the thread becomes thicker and stronger creating a link between you. You know of each other. You recognize each other. And this is like a strand in our web of connecting to all Life. A very tangible one, two at a time then. Is there a bird near you that you know and that knows you? This is Know You Are Earth. Strengthening our bonds of connection to reawaken the ancient memory that we are part of Nature.

Rain on the Roof. I wonder if you know what this sound is? It is pouring with rain and it is the sound of the rain on the yurt roof. Beautiful human creatures we are, growing out of this planet with our magnificent bodies and minds, and incredible power of the imagination. Everything we have created began with an imagination. In these times of apparent challenge, we have this wonderful opportunity to use these challenges to fuel us to focus our minds on what we would prefer.   Share with your friends!

This incredible potential within us all. And there goes the rain cloud. We are just left with the drips from the trees. Can you hear them? As we grow on the surface of this planet, all that we do in being part of the changes of Earth, is just part of the endless changes of Earth. There is this paradox isn't there? On one hand there is this world we know is possible, that we feel in our Hearts. The potentila of the human being. But to get to that place, to really reach that place, I believe we have to face the death, have a near death experience of this world as we know it. As we face full on, that fear and grief and not knowing and surrender into accepting the never ending change rather than fighting against it or clinging on, to hold everything stable, then we are transformed, and then we will create the world that our Hearts know is possible. Know you are earth. Know you are rain. Know you are wind and Know you are fire, and Know you have been here forever and will be here forever. What a wonderful joy and incredible awe this gives us! What lightness and brightness to this temporary life! It is possible right now, and in that lightness and brightness, we discover we are already here! We are already in the world that our hearts know is possible. May our minds expand and warp away from our normal understandings until we find joy in each changing moment.

A little bit afraid. A wind is coming. A wind that will clean and strip bare. A wind that will knock down. Sitting in the cave, waiting for it to get dark, I had the feeling that a boar might come for a bath. I was a little bit afraid. The wind is coming like a wave. Share with your friends!

There is a gift waiting for you Although we still have a lot of Winter to go, already the birdsong has a different flavour in its sound as imperceptible to us, the days already begin to lengthen. There is a promise in their song that Spring will return, but it is not yet time. There are more dreams to be dreamt. My name is Maryjane. I am sitting in a forest of fog. the soil here is still soft, although outside, in the field, it is iron. Welcome to this year. May the dreams of infinite possibility implanted in our Hearts and minds be made manifest in our speech and actions. May these sounds of nature remind us that we are part of all Life.

Completely silent although the rush from the rain yesterday makes the rest of the stream so loud. In my mind I am giving thanks to these birds that they share their voices with us. They so often stop singing when I get my recorder out. But today they told me to stop here, I know it sounds crazy. Do you remember before, when we sat in the Forest surrounded by trees, unable to see very far. And so we stretch out our ears to the birds that we knew so well and we understood their language. And it is they that brought us the news. Here comes the wind. The Forest is nearly bare now, the ivy, green, one or two leaves fall. Place your thoughts upon this stream as each one rises and floats away like a leaf on the surface. Here’s another one. On the surface are the eddies, and the leaves of our thoughts. When I look through the surface there are the leaves and the stones on the bottom of the stream bed. And reaching out deep, deep below are the reflections of the trees above. Wobbling with the eddies. May this cold stream flow fresh within you. May this fresh air blow clean through mind and may relax knowing that You Are Earth. You are part of all this.

This edge between so many different environments is placed at incredible richness. The wealth of the water and the water sounds, the Forest and the Forest birds.And I hope that you are able to hear the whirr of the bird’s wings as they fly over head. I sit here waiting so harvest the best sounds for you. But the whole time is an on going symphony of change. Never again, all these combinations exist. Never again, all these moment be as it is right now and the sound is just one aspect of this magical endless changing, multi-dimensional love. Those of you familiar with our podcast can probably hear that I’m somewhere different. And a jogger has just turned up in bright orange. I’m sitting on a tree trunk and Mr. McNook, my faithful companion is very interested. You can hear the sheep farm on the other side of the lake. I think a farmer has just turned up with his dog over there as well. So it’s all action here. That is a crazy sound! No matter what, no matter where, this moment will never ever be again. The way the sound is, the way the Light is, the way you are breathing, how you’re feeling, the thoughts you are thinking, the people you can see, never again will it be quite like this. I think that might be a Heron making that noise. Just above me in the tree.

Forest Rain Welcome to Know You Are Earth. This is Maryjane and today I’m coming from the Forest. And the sounds you can hear today are Forest rain. It’s not actually raining, but it was raining last night. And so now the Forest is raining. Share with your friends!

Every time, I’m going to record a podcast I come walking and the birds are singing their heads off. I come into the Forest and they are singing their heads off and I stop in a place to find the podcast. And as soon as I get my equipment out, they stop singing. Honestly this happens every time! I’m not sure why, I guess, well I mean, they’re watching. They’re watching all the time with their beady alert eyes. And this just proves to me, I’m very closely watched. (That’s Mr. McNook just shaking). So, I’ll try and get more equipment out, I wait for about twenty minutes for the birds to stop being so suspicious on me. I would have thought they have known me by now, but I guess they don’t. Maybe it’s just their little joke. These beautiful birds, absolutely in tune with the seasons. With their song, with all their activities. In here, in this drippy wood, most of the leaves have fallen except the oak trees now. All that was hoped for and wished for and aspired for and built and created in the summer is now going to rest. To be integrated as nutrient for new growth to come. I think this podcast might turn into a bit of a kind of advice one actually. It’s so easy isn’t it with our busy lives. I have to take my daughter to school the same time every single day all year. It seems wrong to me. It’s not what Nature’s doing. Now is the time to gather in, to rest. (That’s a little breeze that’s making the Forest rain more). I wish you were here. I wish you could see these colors. I tried to take a photo but it’s not the same. The colors aren’t the same. And I want you to be surrounded by this cool, clean air and these mischievous birds. And these raindrops shining like silver on the end of every twig. The magic here is evident and so obvious. It’s good to know that we are part of this wherever we are, wherever we are, wherever you are. You are surrounded by Nature even of the middle of the densest city, everything is made of Earth. Elements from Earth, just different arrangements.

Face down on a damp bank These sounds of Nature throughout the year remind us of our belonging to Earth. These are the sounds we are designed to hear. These are the sounds that are hardwired into our understanding of Life. When we hear running water, it means it’s somewhere we can survive. Share with your friends!

It is my utter privilege and joy to be able to share these sounds with you. For thousands, and thousands and thousands of years, we have evolved with the sounds of Nature. These are the sounds that were made for us. The sounds, we were made to hear. Come and sit by the stream with me and let these sounds relax your mind and lift your Heart and remind you that you belong here on Earth. You are at home. You are an intrinsic part of all Life. This flowing of the stream, this force, this Wisdom, it is flowing in you. This beating in your Heart, and flowing through your veins. It is grown your bones, and it is present in every single cell of your body. This Wisdom that creates all Life is in you. I believe that it is this Wisdom in our Hearts that let’s us know that a kinder world is possible that we can live together in loving harmony with Earth and with each other because Nature, because Earth is so generous and abundant with her diversity. She is so resilient and so adaptable. Shifting and moving and changing accepting all and recycling it into nutrient of a new Life. May the Wisdom inherit within each one of us for a stronger and clearer. So that we can create a world where everyone has enough. If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with your friends.

This  is the sound of Earth turning These are the sounds of Earth turning towards the Light. The wave of dawn chorus across the globe as Earth spins round and round.

They tell us of news further away than we can hear ourselves, of an animal passing or food being found. Can you imagine walking in a world only of natural sounds? How we would extend our senses as far as we can rather than shutting them down to block out traffic noise or aeroplane noise? And in that extension of our senses reaching out into the environment around us we become larger. Listening and communicating with a wide sphere around us. The birds are seen in many myths as magical messengers of the divine. Their ability to fly to other dimensions is something I think we have all imagined and perhaps wished for. These beautiful clear sounds. Hear how they are clear even above the traffic. I think of the birds as Nature’s secret agents even in a city. There they are hopping around watching with their bright eyes. And with a wink and a nod, and a whirl of wings, they send their special signals to each other. I wonder if you know of a particular bird in your Life, they hung out in the same territory so there might be one that lives in some trees near you and they see you and sing to you. And in our Hearts we know we have evolved for thousands and thousands of years together with them. So look out for Nature’s secret agents and listen for their ancient song. It awakens within us the ancient memory of belonging. Belonging to Earth. Being part of all Life. My name is Maryjane, I’m on a misty early morning French hill. And the Earth is just waking up. And this podcast has been called ‘Choose Your Grooves’ but I’m changing the name to ‘Know You Are Earth’. Know you are Earth and you know you belong. I shall be away for a few weeks no but when I come back I shall record again the sounds for the year as Earth turns. Know you are Earth and you know that you belong. Know you are Earth and you know of the Power within you. Know you are Earth and you can hear the Wisdom that grows all Life in your Heart. Know you are Earth and you know of the infinite Possibility. The ability to adapt and evolve. Know that you are Earth, and know that you are part of one Life, rest, held in this knowing. Until next time, many blessings.

There is a gift waiting for you The Forest is dripping with the recent rain and everything is looking fresh, bright, always like a second spring. This water that is flowing past right now has travelled immense distances for huge, huge amount of time. Who knows exactly where it has been?! In the clouds as rain taken perhaps, from the sea by the sun lifted by the wind of the mountains and brought to Earth in rain travelling through rock, soil, through plants and animals. Through the cells of bodies that have been. Through the air as mist constantly recycled. When there are these beautiful sounds, I feel almost speechless to add anything to their beauty. May these sounds relax you as they do me. May the stream remind you of your constant presence here on Earth. Throughout all time, recycled atoms, elements, chemicals, the very soil of your body having made the same elements, genus, through time and space as this water. Many blessings.

Badger in the Blackthorn This is the podcast of seasonal Nature sounds where we find the seasons of Nature within us and the seeds of all Possibility. I am sitting deep in a bush.

FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you for your donation! There is a gift waiting for you The bush is a Blackthorn and it’s grown where once the land grew grape vines and then was cleared. The Blackthorn has grown up so thickly. You’ll see in the photo that goes with this podcast and it’s so prickly and so dense, impenetrable. Because of this, little seedlings have been able to grow safely. Now there are tall oak trees and ash trees and the Blackthorn is dying down, having done its job. This wonderful example of being a pioneer in a barren landscape with its prickly, defensive impenetrableness. I’ve been crawling around in the bush I found a badger skeleton. Complete with a skull and all the vertebrae. Inside each one of us are the seeds of every possible emotion. The ones that we water the most frequently are the ones which grow more strongly and play the largest role in our lives. In the common culture of being media, we hear so many distressing things about the world and each other. When we listen to the mainstream media, the seeds inside of us that are frequently watered, when we see the news of what we’re doing to Earth and each other they’re quite often the seeds of despair and grief and disillusionment, fear, anger, hopelessness. We are like this Earth, and we need to protect our gentle minds just as the Blackthorns protects the Earth. So, these strong oak trees that support so much Life can flourish. We need to cultivate joy and gratitude for Life right now to grow strong within our Hearts, within our lives, within our minds, within our interactions with each other and with Earth. To water these seeds and protect these young seedlings. A way to do that is to turn off the news. Probably you hear about what is going on anyway. But I often ponder the question. Which is more responsible, to know about all the disasters going on worldwide or to care for what we feed our minds? Deep in this bush of prickly Blackthorn, this fierce protection to return this land that has been wiped clear, to Forest which is the most abundant and diverse form that Nature takes. I think that we need to be as fierce with the protection of our minds as the Blackthorn is with Earth. And then water the seeds of joy and the gratitude of this never to be repeated moment. There- gone already.

Never ever to be repeated in this unique combination. Doesn’t it bring your heart into your mouth to see how innocent the world is without our labels? To sit in the still point, in the center of so much, so much richness. Entering our bodies through every sense at the same time in new combinations in every moment. This is Choose Your Grooves. This podcast is for Vision Holders of a world where we live kindly with each other and with Earth. And for those that know that this kindness, of course, starts from within. I wonder where you are now. If you are seeing the world around you. Hearing it, fresh, unique, and gone in a moment. This symphony of sensation of being human. I love to think, I love to see in moments like now, for the first time- but also as if for the last time. As if never again, and it is truly like this, never again will this moment be like this. Doesn’t it just make you want to say thank you? Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wonder what’s going on over there with all those crows. There might be something to eat.

You can see it in the Forest. In the diverse abundance. You can see it running in the stream and singing in the bird song. And it is running in the streams of our veins and it is singing in the song of our Hearts. And that is why we know. The incredible Wisdom that has created this world knows exactly what it’s doing as it flows through us and our evolution. Every single cell of you is suffused by this Wisdom, this Life. And here we are, blessed to share another day for the Wisdom of these bodies to be able to hear and interpret. To see and to choose, to breath. There is a dynamic tension within us. It is of the grief and the pain that we feel of the state of the World combined with this knowing in our Hearts. These two forces are like the sun and the rain inspiring a seed to grow. At first, the seed is quite comfortable with the shell around it. Enclosing it safely, securely. But then the warmth and the moisture provide the irresistible urge to grow. This is like the tension in us. The pain for the world and then knowing that there’s another way. Realizing now that the other way isn’t relying on technological solutions or government agreements or anybody else to do anything differently. This is why I say Warrior of the Heart, because this is the work that begins inside each one of us and every one of us. As we look or imagine this kinder world, the world our Hearts know is possible. It’s a place where many things that are happening now are no longer happening. And a whole bunch of other stuff is happening. And yet when we look in this way, we are pushing against what is. And when we push against what is, our pain turns to blame. And unlike the Forest, we no longer move with an acceptance. Thank you for this day. For this breath, for all that has happened today. Thank you for all the people in my Life. And thank you for this Earth that supports me. Thank you for this air that fills me. Thank you for these birds that sing, the sun that shines. Thank you for the moss, and the dew, and the spiders, and the woodpeckers. Thank you for the technology that means I can record this, send it to you. Thank you for thank you. Thank you for the doorway that thank you is, the time warp of thank you. We’re deeply into the doorway of thank you. And it lifts my Heart so much that I find that right now, I am living in a world that my Heart knows is possible. Thank you, thank you. Thank you.

  Nature's Rhythms   Nature sounds throughout the year remind us that we are part of Earth. The sounds of the different times of year, remind us of the rhythms of Nature. The rhythms alive, within us. And as we relax into these natural rhythms, the Wisdom that grows all Life is more able to guide us. Share with your friends!

We are not connected to Nature. We are Nature. We are as wild and as free, as the streams and the birds. We have the rhythm of the tides and the moon within us. Action and rest, night and day, equally balanced. In this world we go, go, go. The resting time is often forgotten or put aside as not so valuable. But in Nature, there is equal rest and equal action. Equal Light and dark. As we relax more deeply, more often, this is when the true Wisdom, the brilliant ideas are born. Not through striving and trying. And every single thing that is woman or man invented and created on Earth starts with an idea. The idea is the seed. The ideas that we often imagine are frequently created as a result of the information coming in to us. We don’t realize we’re doing it. But when we relax deeply and take some time free from the media and tune in to our own Nature. The sounds of Nature. The sounds of our breath. The rhythm of our Heart. Then this is where the pure, fresh, brand new ideas and imagination of pure creation. The Wisdom of Life can be sparked within us and rise spontaneously. And these are the ideas that lead to a flourishing Life. Because these are the ideas that come without striving. Produced from Nature. These are the ideas and the imagination then knowing in your Heart that a kinder world is possible. Because we are magnificent creatures on a stunningly incredible Earth. Belonging to Life and with Earth’s Wisdom rising up through us, pulsing through us with Natural rhythms. And this is the Wisdom, Vision of joy and gratitude, and awe, and wonder. So, let’s relax more. Redress the balance as we move now towards the resting time of the year. Let those seeds of ideas start to grow within us.

  Temple of Being Human Image: John T     It is dawn on autumn equinox and to tell the truth, there’s not a lot to record. It is the in between time, between night and day. Between the days being longer than the nights. And now entering this time where the nights will be longer than the days. It’s a shift and balance and here we are right across, right between the in breath, and the out breath. The darkness and the Light.   Share with your friends!

There is a gift waiting for you This brink that we sit on all the time between awfulness that goes on in the world and the terrible pain that we feel and the utter wonder of now. This blissful moment of aeroplane noise and almost no bird song where we are breathing, exchanging our inside with the outside so intimately. Where sound waves are rolling in to our spiral ears and our minds are labeling and interpreting it all. Faster than the blink of an eye, we create the world that we sit in right now. This place is a temple, it is the temple of being human. It is the place where the shadows hold secrets and allow our imagination to grow. The place where the Light shines so brightly and the wind moves everything so slightly that there’s not one single moment, it is ever the same. It’s constantly flowing, changing whirlwind of sensation. A physical sensation of this moment. What can you feel? Where is your body warm and cool? Where is it relaxed? Or tight? All this information coming in. The hearing, the physical sensations, the breathing, the thinking, seeing, feeling. We live in this dense jungle. The temple of human on the edge between what we like and they’re like what we want and don’t want. And on this magical, magical day of car sound and aeroplane noise, and almost no bird song, I welcome us into this temple of human of the turning seasons of this beautiful Earth. To embrace it all, the dark and the Light. Just as Nature shows us how to with their patient acceptance and endless loving embrace. And mischievous winks. In the end, it all seems so very, very much. So much that we know how to do and want to do. And so much we cannot understand. The conclusion that I always come to is thank you. Thank you. Thank you for now. Thank you for now being exactly as it is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all that I like, and dislike. All the feelings I want, and don’t want. For all ways that I judge and create. For the experience, of experiencing. Happy equinox!

Core of Earth 6,371 kilometers beneath us is the center of the Earth. A molten core of iron so hot that it moves around continuously creating an electrical current. This in turn, creates a magnetic field that pulses through these thousands of kilometers of solid rock and out into space, passing through each one of us in the way. Share with your friends!

So here we are, so closely bound to Earth. Our physical bodies made the same atoms, the same elements that create trees, rocks, animals, clouds, rivers, mountains. Springs the well up out of this Earth. All these are elements within us, within you. We are as rooted in the Earth as a tree. We are like walking trees. Each one of us and all of us. And as we practice deepening our understanding of how we are so intimately part of each other, part of Earth. And we start to look out through Earth eyes and to see with a patience and inclusiveness that Earth has for us.

FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow This is the inside out podcast. It is like an antidote to the news. Instead of having information and images coming in to us that then stimulate feelings of despair, disbelief and disillusion about the World, this works completely the other way around. These are the sounds of Nature today. It’s a bit cooler now and the birds start to sing again. And through their song, we are reminded that we are part of all Life and that this Life rose with the Wisdom that is inherent in all Nature in every stem of ivy that spirals around the tree, in every stream that rushes and every bird that sings. It’s the Wisdom that grows trees and children and it’s the Wisdom that knows to create wonderful and abundant Life. This Wisdom of Nature is inherent to us. Part of that Wisdom is knowing in our Hearts that we can live more kindly together on this beautiful globe. And so, in this time that we have now, we can find the Vision and the feeling inside of a kinder world. Just imagine, that you wake up in the morning and discover that all the world is at peace. How would you feel? How do you talk to your family? What do you talk about? The world is at peace. Just imagine that! We often use our imagination unconsciously to worry about things that we’d fear might happen. We don’t even realize it doing it. But we can consciously use our imagination and step into a world we desire. A world at peace. Can you imagine what you might see on the news? Or how you might react to other people of other cultures, different religions, different colors and all the world is at peace and we can relax.   I wonder if you could hear my husband practicing the trumpet up the hill and Mr McNook with me, licking and panting. To do this recording, I’m avoiding airplanes and cars. I want to bring you pure Nature sounds. Sometimes it seems really hard. But even with these other sounds, we can imagine what we want. The World at peace, a basic undercurrent of our entire existence here in our planet. To use your focus and your intention in this way, is a powerful service that you’re doing for all of creation. I don’t think that there are that many people doing it. But when you focus your intention and your imagination, everything we’ve created on Earth begins with an idea, with a focus. And as we, together take on this role, in the face of it all, in the face of all news of disaster or whatever, to be vigilant without focus. And to keep creating and recreating within, the experience of a World at peace where everybody has enough. Thank you for your part in this creation. You are a powerful force and together we are a powerful team. My name is Maryjane, I’m sitting on a damp hill surrounded by bramble bushes and these are the birds and all the sounds of this moment. Many blessings to you.

The podcast of Nature sounds. The Earth is singing. Waves of sound move around the Earth in conjunction with the sun. The birds of the morning and these grasshoppers of night. These are the sounds of Earth spinning in space. These are the sounds that we are designed to hear. The sounds that connect us to being part of all Life. The sounds that awaken within us the memory that we are Earth. We are part of one Life. Everyone, everything, every animal and every plant, every mountain and every stream, every cloud and every breath. All made of the same elements being recycled again, and again, and again. Each atom on its own incredible journey of transformation. Anything that ever has been here on Earth is still here in the form of changing atoms and everything and everyone whoever will be here is already here now in the form of changing atoms. I love to think of this. Life somehow is less personal and more universal when I think these things, I feel in a very real and physical way, that I am a part of you, part of this planet. Like the tiny hairs growing on my arm, we are all grown from Earth. This knowing means that we belong. We are part of all Life. We are home. The atoms of Earth, winds, water and fire are intrinsically parts of us. As is all past and all future. Embodying this knowing, changes how Life looks, how other people appear. It shifts perspective into an entirely different understanding of who we are, and I love it. For me it gives me the ability to see with joy. To look at another person with awe. And to feel immense gratitude for the experience of experiencing as a human being for a moment. My prayer is that the vibrations of these grasshoppers warp our minds, so we can see with gratitude and awe. And think and feel, speak and act, and interact with the deep knowing that we are part of each other. And in all the small actions that we do through the day, from this perspective that we contribute to creating a world where everybody, everybody has enough. My name is Maryjane, I’m sitting in the dark on a hill in France thinking of you. If you enjoyed this podcast, please share it with your friends.

The Protection of the Forest.   I've been waiting in the Forest for ages for the birds to come back. Though now the hawk has come. And the silence came too. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? You can hear me. That means that there is blood pumping through your heart. It means there is air going in and out of your body. It means there are millions of amazing functions all happening. Like some incredible coincidence within your body and outside your body. That means you can hear. Cool huh?! While I was sitting, waiting for the birds, a squirrel came and it’s the first one I’ve ever seen in this Forest. In fact, I didn’t see it very well because I don’t have my contact lenses. But I’ve heard it, chattering. I think it’s still up from the tree not far from here. It seems so silent and so still. That’s a woodpecker. Here in the Forest, it is cold and there is moisture dripping from the trees. Outside in the field, it is a blazing hot, bright, sunny, day. The difference is striking. The Forest feels protective. Here come some Jays I think it’s Jays. The field feels exposed and vulnerable. And that is exactly what is like for the soil. In the Forest it is protected, nurtured by the cycling. In the field it is dry and exposed to the sun. It is a field where hay is taken each year so beautiful wild flowers come. But they are taken away each year. I'm back in the Forest later on the same day. It’s been really hot all day. But in the Forest, there is still a coolness that rises from the Earth that it is damper than anywhere else. Outside in the field, the soil has been exposed all day to the hot sun and any Life that is there would have buried down as deeply as it can. Here in the Forest, the birds are quiet. Left to its own devices, Nature returns to Forest. The brambles and other prickly bushes are the first pioneers to take hold of the field and protect the Earth with their sharp prickles. Here comes a breeze. The sharp prickles enable young trees to start to grow protected. And as they grow they eventually shade out the prickly forerunners and the new Forest is born. In the Forest there are many layers of Life. The trees are the most obvious. But even amongst the trees, there are tall trees. Like a cherry is really tall. Or a smaller tree, the hazelnuts are much smaller. And then there are the vines that climb the ivy. And the creep, again the ivy. There are the low bushes and herbs. In the Forest here there’s Dog’s Mercury. There are ferns, butcher’s-broom. And then there are other deep-rooted plants. The wild boar here, I’ve noticed that they eat the roots of Lords and Ladies which is a poisonous plant, but they get the root and eat it. So, there are all these layers interacting together growing close and around each other in this magnificent wealth of diversity. This is the true Wisdom of Nature. And she moves towards the state, always. And the same Wisdom is the blood in our veins, it is the breath coming in and out of our bodies. It is the natural Wisdom within us that will lead us to the most abundant and diverse version of our own lives when we listen to our Hearts, to our inner Wisdom, to the soft and subtle urgings that can sometimes be hard to hear. When we live in such a world of go, go, go. To lie down and relax and let your mind wonder is one of the best ways to discover the thoughts of where your next steps could be. When we relax, and just feel the wonderful functions going on in our bodies, it is like stepping out in the bright glare of the sun in a bare field, into the protection of the cool Forest where the true richness of our deep Nature can be felt and understood.

EARTHWORM This is a rhythm of a September morning. Last night it rained for the first time in ages. A magical sound on the roof of the yurt. It rained hard. Where I live, the soil is what they call five-minute soil. It’s deep, deep clay and for a lot of the year it’s so full of water that it’s impossible to work, and then for the year it’s so hard and dry it’s also impossible to work. And there’s five minutes in between the two where you can actually move it around. Us, with our Power and yet within the soil and, at this time of the year where it has been so dry, deep, deep down as far as fifteen feet below us are the Earthworms. These small creatures of insignificance. Ones that we do not usually consider beautiful. And after this rain of last night they will start to rise again. They are responsible for moving tons, literally of Earth. Passing it through their bodies and bringing air into the soil. They bring up stones from deep down, and they take down organic matter from the surface and mix it up. Continually working with their tiny unnoticed ways. When it has rained a lot, the soil here is covered with worm casts. Nature in her myriad ways of Wisdom and beauty shows us through the Earthworm how small actions make a big difference. Sometimes in this world it can seem as if the difficulties are so very huge that we cannot do anything about it. But the Earthworm teaches that with small actions and persistent movement, we make the huge difference. Small actions like seeing the Light in each other’s eyes and knowing the Life that we share. Small actions like a smile to a stranger that uplifts their moments and is then passed on and on and on. Small actions like looking at our own bodies in gratitude and awe about the wondrous constructions that we are. As we learn to cultivate awe and wonder and gratitude and joy within ourselves, these are the small underground actions that turn the soil and change the world. Thank you, Earthworm for your humble appearance and your great, great works. FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you so much for your donations!

  There's a Wisdom that flows through us. It the same Wisdom that sings in the voice of these birds. That grows these tremendous trees. That shines this Light. That beats our Hearts. And creates all Life. A Wisdom beyond what we can possibly imagine. It is the creative intelligence that creates crazy fish and incredible insects. And it built us. And it is the voice in our Hearts and when we listen it will guide us on. It's like a flowing stream that knows just which way to go. My name is Maryjane. I'm sitting in a streambed. Not long ago, rushing water carved these banks. Now all gone. It feels like a very secret intimate space to enter into. It's a bit like going to somebody's bedroom when they're not there. The Power that rushed along this streambed is visible in the big branches that are just left strewn here and in the deep carved banks, in the large piles of gravel that are being carried along. And now the water has gone completely. That tapping sound is a woodpecker in a tree just above. As we go along in our ordinary lives we completely forget that we are built of such incredible Power and Possibility. As we see the world around us and listen to the daily news, we develop expectations of the world and we react to the world in habitual ways. But what if, what if, we could feel that Power of Possibility, that Wisdom of incredible creation in our Hearts. What if they could bring us a Vision of the World with our Hearts Know is Possible beyond the world that we see around us now. Beyond the expectations given to us by the media. What if we could see so clearly the Vision in our Hearts of a World where everybody has enough. What would that look like? What would it feel like - a world where everybody, everybody has enough. What would you see outside your window? In your streets, in town and city. I imagine food. fruit trees, nut trees growing along ordinary streets that are cared for by the neighbours. And they are points of gathering to harvest the fruit together. I imagine the growing of food to be an intrinsic part of every business of every school, of every care home. It doesn't have to be complicated. It doesn't have to take a lot of work. Perennial food is food that you plant once, and it gives year after year like a fruit tree or a grapevine or a herb bush or raspberry canes. There are many, many plants that could be put into place and with the little care and attention, transform the environment. Flowers would grow on these perennial plants attracting butterflies and bees and other insects. Birds would gather, and bird song would start to fill the streets. Hot hard concrete surfaces would have areas of shade and green. Bringing relaxation to the Heart and the mind and the eyes and the body. And there would be nutritious food that required no packaging, no transporting, no selling but just freely available for everybody around. Just imagine! It's not just the streets, it could be balconies and the rooftops. It could be in areas that are now broken degraded concrete of forgotten factories. It could be on a pot of your window sill. It's not too late. Today, it's not too late to plant a tree. Hold the Vision, feel it in your Heart. May it inspire your actions, your thoughts, your speech, your interactions and together we can create a World where Everybody has Enough.   FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you so much for your donations!

 Thank You. We are not connected to Nature. We are inherently, intimately and intrinsically Nature. The wind agrees. It is the very last day of August, the end of the summer. I'm sitting in leaves so dry and crisp with scars of their history, holes, through them. And yet it was only a few weeks ago it seems, that each one of these was fresh and soft and bright green. But the year spins so fast. the change is continual. Now it is only three weeks until Equinox and then the nights will become longer. It feels like a brilliant moment to give thanks. Are there any moments that aren't? Thank you for these changes. Thank you for the scars, the holes in these leaves, thank you for the scars and the holes, the experiences within each one of us. the compost for new growth and changes; In Nature, nothing goes to waste. Nothing. And we too, can make use of all our experiences. Thank you for it all, those that we call 'good' and those that we call 'bad'. Thank you for the ability to name them, to judge them, to label and decide, creating our world as we do. Thank you for this technology to record, and share these sounds. And thank you for this wind. To clean and refresh and bring new weather , news from another place in every atom. Thank you for this Earth, solid beneath us. Endlessly supporting us. her ridiculous abundance giving all the time. Thank you that we might experience being Human. To have eyes! to see each other! Minds to think ideas and mouths to speak them out and ears to hear them come in. Thank you for the range of emotion that comes as we interpret each thought.  To be Human! To be in this human suit and to look out through theses eyes and see the essence of ourselves in everything around us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for this silent August afternoon and the incredible contrast from spring time mornings , of summer nights or the rainy days, the thundery sounds, the sounds when the stream is running. It is dry now. There are deep pools that still remain , but they will sink further and the river bed becomes a magical path. A point in the land where two surfaces meet and you can slip in between the cracks into another dimension. These places exist in the city too. It is where the wild things grow through the concrete. Their hair-like roots growing into the crevices and growing so strong that they can actually lift the concrete. It is when you hear the birds sing suddenly above the traffic. And it is in theses moments that we can slip suddenly into remembering our Union with Nature. they are like secret reminders around us; doorways that go unnoticed. But as soon as we look , they are there. Thank you thank you thank you. Sweet life that we are all. together. Thank you. CHOOSE YOUR GROOVES.

 I Wish You Were Here Today's guest star is the wind. I wish we could sit together in the Forest. That you would feel under your feet, the forest floor, and lean your back with me against this tree. All I can bring you are the sounds. Here she comes; the Wind brushes her fingers through the Forest hair. Rolling in like a wave from the distance. You can hear Her coming. If you were here we could lay our heads together on this moss, that still holds moisture after this long hot summer. If you were here, we could look together through the upright trunks of the trees and you would see the light dancing. Cobwebs appearing and disappearing. The first leaves of autumn beginning to fall. If you were here, you would smell the blackberries. They grow at the edge of the Forest, fat and juicy. In my mind, you are here. We are all here. In remembrance through these sights and smells and feelings and sounds, remembering that we are part of it all, growing just like anyone of these plants. If you were here, the silences in between my words would be so full, with all the other things to take in. Through the Wind, there is a dancing in the Forest. Through the dance, there are places to slip through into another understanding. As if a new sense has grown, somewhere between your eyes and your ears, where if they stretch together, they might meet, creating an entirely new sense. Spiral Horns. Antennae, reaching out into the Forest. Receiving information from every direction. Alive, vibrant, bringing their energy back into an inner stillness. Alert. Waiting. For nothing. Watching it all, changing and moving. each breath of the Wind brings something new. Something anciently new and never again. I wish you were here. I wish you could feel the pulse and the flickers of the Forest. But maybe you can through this podcast. And remember, wherever you are. You are part of all Life. The pulses and the flickers are in your blood and your guts, your Heart and your Mind. The same endlessly flowing wisdom of Life. CHOOSE YOUR GROOVES.

 Hold the Vision These sounds of Nature rouse the Ancient Knowing that we are part of All Life. Each one of us built of Earth, sharing the atoms that built our ancestors and that will be build our descendants. Endlessly recycled, the Wisdom that Creates All Things, has created us. Every single cell of our being is constructed of this Wisdom. Our bones, our blood, our guts, our Hearts. This Wisdom is intrinsic to us and it is the quiet voice, no louder than a Heart beat. It is the yearning, the longing to belong, to feel at home here and to be powerful enough to make a difference. It is the knowing in our Hearts that a Kinder way is possible. It is not complicated. It is really only two things. Caring for Earth and caring for each other. I believe there are those of us who are called to be Vision Holders. To hold steadfast, vigilant  and clear, under every circumstance to the Vision and the feeling, the feeling, of the Vision of the world our Hearts Knows is Possible. An Earth where we live with love and respect for care for Earth and each other. The world where every body has enough. To step into the imagination of this world, to feel the vibration of the feeling of this world. To give thanks for this journey, our evoultion, is to send a new viration out into the world that will return manifest. We have the opportunity to be energy transformers. Vision Holders. Thank you for your attention and focus. You are a powerful force. You are a powerful force and together we are a powerful team. Please share with your friends that we may hold the Vision together.

 In-between Times Have you ever heard Owls really go for it? At the very, very end of night, before the first hint of dawn, Owls announce a time of no definition, of no labels, of all possibility. May these sounds connect us to the gentle wisdom with ourselves. The Wisdom that is Life itself. Holding planets in place and singing in the stream growing forests and children. She runs in our veins. The Wisdom of no labels. enthusiastically creating, unconditionally accepting. Unstoppable embracing. May we always find ways to slip through the cracks of the apparent world into the magical, ever present world of Nature. Even in the center of the most crowded city, She is running wild. Her rhythms in your breath, Her passion in your Heart, Her Light in your Eyes and Everyone Else. Intrinsic, integral to being alive. Inescapable.   CHOOSE YOUR GROOVES: Choosing to remember that We Are Earth. We are Each Other.   FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you so much for your donations!

  The Edge of You The Wind is with us tonight. Soft and cool. This is the podcast where Nature's sounds help us to repattern our minds, reminding us that we are Earth. All of us. With every breath we take, we breathe in atoms that have been here forever, moving through all forms of life. Every time we breathe out, we exchange part of ourselves with what appears to be outside. A constant exchange of atoms. In and out. In and out. How many breaths have we taken? How much has been exchanged? Our breath is like the sea and we are the Earth. Breathing in, pulling the tide in towards us. Owl! Breathing out, the tide rolls back. The exchange is so continuous. Inside, outside. Where do we end? Where is the edge of 'me'? Where is the edge of 'you'? How many times have we exchanged insides? Is there anyone who has ever been who has not been exchanged with us? Who is not part of us right now? Billions and billions of atoms we are made of. Each one on its own transformative journey. In and out. Inside and outside. And after us, where do these atoms go, Who will make use of them next? The Earth, the earthworms, the tree roots, the tree leaves, a cows mouth, and into somebody else perhaps. Maybe somebody hundreds of years and hundreds of miles from here and now. A wonderful dance dances through us, inside and outside. Inextricably part of All Life and All Time. As we remember that we are part of the whole and see with Earth eyes, then we transform the world and we will create a world where everybody has enough. My name is Maryjane. I am sitting wrapped in a douvet in a field in the middle of the night. If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with your friends. Inside and outside. What a wonderful, wonderful Life!

  Fox Tiptoes: This is the very darkest hour. The most silent. There is a new dawn coming. May these sounds relax you. Rest deep on Mother Earth and in that surrender to her Endless Embrace, may we touch the Joy of Now. With our powerful minds, we have the possibility to create, to step right now, into the reality that we wish to see. Are you a Vision Holder? Do you Know in your Heart that a Kinder World is Possible? We have the ability to see it Now, to feel it Now. In this quiet time before the new dawn, a new creation is springing into place and we can be part of creating it, to choose right now, to hold in our Hearts the Great Thanks Giving of all we are going through. To know that as the fox tiptoes so silently at this hour, we also, with our silent Hearts can prepare ourselves for the world to come. Vigilant. Seeing the Light, vibrating in each one of us, no matter what. It is easy to be swept along by the surface illusions, the surface realities, but when we look more deeply, we can see and feel the ever present Love vibrating throughout it all. The wind agrees. To hold steadfast to this Love in times of such adversity is a role that not many will take. It is a role that will anchor us into the Vision of the World we KNOW is Possible.  CHOOSE YOUR GROOVES: Choosing to remember that We Are Earth.

We Have Always Been Here and Always Will Be Night Sounds and Distant Thunder We are part of Earth. We are part of each other. In some way or another, we have always been here, and always will be.

Spiral Ears These wave forms enter our spiral ears, affecting every atom of our beings. These atoms of us are filled with an energy, an emotion. It comes forth through our hands and our actions. Through our mouths and the way that we speak. Even as we breathe out creating puffs of moving spirals into the air. We are emitting a frequency, through our breath, through our being.

There is Magic in the air. Not 'metaphorical magic, but Real Magic. It surrounds us all the time. It enters us with every breath. It travels through our bodies with every beat of our Hearts. In every atom around us is the energy and information of all people and time. All people that have been and all people that will be. It is in the way that we walk, in the way that we talk. It is in the way that we see and hear and touch. In this moment of Now, we have the opportunity to be transformers of the energy. There is ancient and recent pain and grief in the world. Universal and intensely personal, and in this moment, we can open the door of our Hearts and let it in. Feel the vibration, the experience, the power of the pain that you feel for the world. Let it rip your Heart and rock your world. As we open our Hearts to accept these feelings, we have access to the power within them and we can transform this pain in the atoms of the world into one of clarity and Vision and motivation and passion and love, compassion and thanks giving.

 Nature's Rhythms   The Whole Universe pulses to many simultaneous rhythms. Night and day, the season, the phases of the moon, our hearts, our breath. These are all rhythms that can guide us. We have so many man made rhythms imposed on top of the Natural cycle. The five day week for example. I realised I have holding myself to this rhythm of Monday to Friday working, doing my podcast five days a week. But this eclipse that has just passed brought new insight to me and as I continue this journey of listening to Nature and learning, I have decided to follow another rhythm. May these rhythms that are audible right now, awaken within each one of us the awareness of our Natural rhythms, the rhythms that remind us that we are part of the rhythm of the universe. May they guide our way to Creating a World where Everyone has Enough.  FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you so much for your donations!

Thank you Sweet Nature.   Nature's sounds are changing throughout the year. Almost imperceptibly, yet also quite clearly and continuously. The song of the birds is different now, the dry brown leaves of high summer will soon turn out to have been the leaves of autumn. Thank you Sweet Nature for showing us how to change and let go all the time, and to see that in the letting go, the new is springing forth. Thank you Sweet Nature for all that you teach.   FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Image: Alex Woods. Thank you so much for your donations!

Recycling.   In the Forest in the rain. The forest is the ultimate professional recycler. All these water sounds are sounds of recycling. The stream to the sea, the sea to the clouds, to this rain. Everything is used. Everything. By my feet are the brown leaves from last year, breaking down and turning into next years soil. cell by cell, atom by atom. Everything is taken in and turned around into something new. As we listen to these sounds of recycling in action, may they remind us that we too are recycled. Built of atoms that have been here forever, and will be here forever. Each atom is 99.9% space and information. Just as our physical bodies are recycled and here forever, so are the signals that we emit continuously while we are alive, in the form of our emotions. The human race has suffered. No culture is free from having been taken over and broken apart; there is a lot of pain that is recycled through the soil and through our bodies; As we step into this new time with a new level of  consciousness, I believe we can be the transformers of this energy, the recyclers of this energy. Turning waste into fuel for the future. turning the pain that we feel into a clarity and motivation and ultimately a thanksgiving.   FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Image: Romello Williams.

The Ancient Song. Soil and rain, sun and wind built beetle and worm and seed. Beetle and worm and seed built bird. Bird moves throat with air and sends out these sound waves. Our ears take them in, indelibly marking our minds with the ancient song. The ancient song that we have known through all time. The song of Earth that reminds us that we are Earth and one day these bodies will lie down and become Earth again with these sounds imprinted into them. Returning to Earth to be reborn as a new song.

Where do these sounds go? They enter our eardrums. They enter our minds. Perhaps they stimulate an ancient memory, or perhaps it is as if they are heard for the first time. Somehow they enter some compartment of the mind, registered and labeled. Perhaps they stimulate an emotional reaction. Somehow, the sounds enter our bodies and create some changes. Recorded by our minds, an impression is made that remains in the fabric of all life, for all time. FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Image: Elegance Thika Thank you so much for your donations!

Sound Waves What is it that creates that sound? Al the elements are already here. This Wild Power, that which forms the flowers, which creates the tension to make these sounds and this rain. It's already here, recycled millions of times throughout all life. The sound of the thunder was once a tree, the tree was once the soil, the soil was once a human being being, the human being was once some wind, the wind was once some gas, gas was once a flame, the flame was once your Heart. Seeing with new eyes how we are all recycled, a part of all life through all time, all that has been and that will be! My name is Maryjane. I am crouching under a peach tree in the pouring rain, and this is Choose Your Grooves, the daily podcast of Nature's Wisdom Sounds. repatterning our minds again and again until we know we are part of it all. I better go and close the yurt window.  FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you so much for your donations!

Vision Holders We have the opportunity, the strength and the clarity to be able to breathe in the collective pain of the world, present throughout history and evident in the daily news. It can knock us down, or, we can take it in, open our Hearts and feel the waves take us. As we experience the fullness of our grief, welcoming it as part of the experience of being human, we have the opportunity to transform it. As we bow down in Grateful Acceptance of Now being Exactly as it is Right Now, in this moment of grief and pain, we are performing a transformation of energy. That which came into us in its many forms of horror, goes out from us as gratitude for life. May these sound awaken withinus the knowing that not only are we Earth, but we are part of each other. We are equally the victims, the peratraytors and the transformers of this time. Thank you for the powerful work you do in the world. This is a daily practice.   FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you so much for your donations! They are helping with the cost of producing the podcast, and are very gratefully appreciated. Thank you!

OWLS There is a moment before the magic of day, before the magic of dawn, when the owls call so loud, I leap from my tent and rush outside to record them in the dark, damp grass. This is that moment.

Songs of Now Pure unadulterated birdsong of this morning. Already out of date. They do not sing of the past or future. Only of now.

Visions of Possibility. It is now even scientifically proventhat listening to sounds of Nature makes us feel part of the wider world which in turn affects our behaviour.  These sounds awaken our inner knowing that we are part of Earth.

It is within us. You are a powerful force. Together we are an unstoppable team. FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you so much for your donations!

Wild Wind and Thunder. Oh to be at the top of a tree in a wild, wild storm. We are intimately, intricately, intrinsicly part of this wildness. So still. And then not. To lie outside, soaked to the skin, caressed by the wind. Just perfect, just as you are. How can anything be amiss when you are part of this? Remembering that we are Nature!  FacebookFollow YoutubeFollow Thank you so much for your donations! They are helping with the cost of producing the podcast, and are very gratefully appreciated.

Nature's eyes of non-judgement. Sweet stream, beautiful birdsong, many mosquitos, frantic flies and hurrying horsefly. Nature is all! Quick practice of applying non-judgement to an aeroplane in our soundscape. A crazy day. Records of the changes of Wisdom's song, as the year goes by.
