7.27.25 - Day 8/13 of the White Mirror Wavespell - Magnetic Moon 2 The new year began yesterday and we could pay attention to what Yellow Resonant Seed might represent by what unfolded over the day's events. I noticed that I was focused - the way Yellow Seed 'targets' and is earthy, on course for physical manifestation. I also noticed that I wanted to be close to nature, and also very sedentary. Blue Storm, for the past year, has been very turned up. I am anticipating that we will feel more static and stable from now on. Perhaps it was a psychic kind of day. I am acclimated to that, somehow, but we are now in a year of being Resonant, of having messages and inspiration rattle through us from a divine source. It's okay if your 'Mayan new year' wasn't as fiery and party-hearty as what the Gregorian holiday pushes. We can celebrate the 13 Moon renewal, but what we do here - in the path of Natural Time - is mostly pay attention, using our intuition and high sensitivity to be more awake. So a new year is a lot of new information, and in fact some weighty, meteoric new karma, so it might not also be fun.

Feeling more confident about finding the right reads is a common bookish goal. In today's conversation, Anne welcomes Tynisha Coleman to the show to talk about her current reading goals. Tynisha is a leadership development coach, university lecturer, and sci-fi and fantasy lover from New Jersey. She doesn't shy away from books that tackle tough plot points, which often feature in the emotionally resonant books she loves. But she does expect these trickier developments to serve a sense of purpose to the plot, and she'd like to avoid reading experiences that send her into the depths of despair. Right now, Tynisha is looking for titles that offer a sense of escapism, both in her current preferred genres, and while also keeping open to other works she'll enjoy. Anne has a bunch of ideas to share. Find the list of titles mentioned in today's episode at our show notes page, at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/480.

5.22.25 - Day 7/13 of the Red Skywalker Wavespell - Spectral Moon 21 The days keep intensifying, and there's not a true end in immediate sight. But we are stepping out of the 'third week in the west,' or the accelerated and transformative section of the Spectral Moon, and hopefully the pace and urgency can scale down a tad. There's also a weekend of some equanimity coming, and even some prognosis of slighter calm next week as well. In other words - hang on, it's a gnarly wave break and we are getting thrashed. This level of discomfort might be the outer max, so if you can get through it, you're acclimated to the kind of drama that usually tracks through this part of the Tzolkin, every cycle.

5.9.25 - Day 7/13 of the Yellow Sun Wavespell - Spectral Moon 8 We are fully in the dissolution of the year's wave, with all the tumult and chaos that it brings. We used to be climbing - or even being carried - decidedly skyward, and for many moons (since 7.26.24). Now we're cascading all that altitude back to earth, or where we began; maybe an oceanic bed of water would help as an image, so you are aware it's going to be a soft landing. What isn't soft - or secure - is the fall. It's end over end, and you lose your grip through gravitational flux or disorientation. So there's a lot that's coming undone, acting crazy, feeling out of control. It's a bit more relaxed than some of the intense and stern scrutiny we've had turbocharged as the world burns. Now it's burning as ever, but are you able to pay attention? Being set free from that could be a gift, as long as it lasts.

Many of Albania's voices are political, and this recording demonstrates that this remains true today. Captured in Skanderbeg Square, in the heart of Tirana, this recording showcases the soundscape of a protest organized by the opposition party, the Democratic Party of Albania.  In the recording, the voice of the individual speaking into the microphone during the protest in front of Tirana City Hall reverberates off the nearby museum, opera house, and Hotel Tirana surrounding the square. The preparations for the fair and the speeches happening in the square are also included in this recording, contributing to the intricate soundscape of the area. Recorded by Uğur Aslan.

3.31.25 - Day 7/13 of the Red Dragon Wavespell - Solar Moon 25 The Red Dragon wavespell is like waking a sleeping beast, or seeing one stir from a primordial swamp. I describe this as a power move, but not an aggressive one. The feminine divine focus is on being present, holding space, taking up space and being solid - but not pushing in or aggravating. I think that more invasive approach belongs to the male archetype. We are in a time of finding our roots, our depth, our weightiness, our strength. It's quiet and can be like a sneaker wave to others, or when the quietest kid at school finally erupts. That selective outburst, or show of strength, can be very impressive. See where you are quiet and still and where you are explosive.

3.5.25 - Day 7/13 of the Blue Eagle Wavespell - Galactic Moon 27 Only 20 days left in this 260-day Tolkien cycle. We can finish out the Blue Eagle wavespell, go through the Yellow Star one, and it's time to renew. Ending is easier than revving up in Mayan astrology. We end in resolution and if not harmony, then harmonizing with instead of feeling antagonized by our fate. Then we start again, and there are many rough edges yet to be burnished, some that are even so sharp as to feel lethal. But we are in the space of ending, resolving, seeing reward, for a while longer. Enjoy!

2.20.24 - Day 7/13 of the White Wind Wavespell - Galactic Moon 14 The White Wind wavespell has the strong shadow energy of the patriarchy, the self-ordained supremacy of men. While this is a taint, not the essence of White Wind, we still have to navigate that toxicity. And it's readily apparent. Use the day-by-day trek through the Tolkien to calm and still yourself. White Wind is not always gusty to the point of societal damage. You can be the counterpoint to the upheaval and destruction by being at rest. Any way that works.

Resonant conversations with jurors — those moments where you connect deeply on an emotional level — can be a game changer.  BUT. Is there such a thing as too much connection? Here's what we're diving into:

You're in the middle of voir dire, talking, they're nodding, but those blank faces tell you everything — you know they're not really hearing you. In this week's episode, we're tackling exactly how to change that. We've got Amy Day, executive coach who knows a thing or two about getting through tough crowds. We'll show you how to use coaching techniques like powerful questions, active listening, and trusting your intuition to engage with jurors like never before. Because what jurors really want is the raw, unpolished truth, NOT a performance. So stop shying away from those unscripted moments and start owning the room. TUNE IN NOW! Xo, Sari   Quote:  “So many conversations we have are surface-level and not full of authenticity. People are constantly giving us information about themselves, but we don't clue in, we don't listen, and then we don't make something of it. Resonant conversations are about getting to the deeper level of who someone is and what's important to them. When we have those conversations, we can resolve conflict quicker, create connections, and actually bring abundance because people are looking to be seen.” — Amy Day   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR'S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.

In the 1950s, a schoolteacher named Carleen Hutchins attempted a revolution in how concert violins are made. In this episode, Craig Eley of the Field Noise podcast tells us how this amateur outsider used 18th century science to disrupt the all-male guild tradition of violin luthiers. Would the myth of the never-equaled Stradivarius violin prove to be true or could a science teacher with a woodshop use an old idea to make new violins better than ever? We also learn about the mysterious beauty of Chladni patterns, the 18th century technique of using tiny particles to reveal how sound moves through resonant objects–the key to Hutchins' merger of art and science. In this episode, we hear the voices of: Quincy Whitney, Carleen Hutchins biographer and a former arts reporter for the Boston Globe. Myles Jackson, a professor of the history of science at Princeton. Joseph Curtin, a MacArthur-award winning violin maker. Sam Zygmuntowicz, an extremely renowned violin maker and creator of Strad3D. Carleen Hutchins herself.   You can subscribe to Craig Eley's Field Noise podcast to hear the original version of this story. This episode was edited by Craig Eley and Mack Hagood. Music is by Blue Dot Sessions and Marc Bianchi. The archival interview clips of Carleen Hutchins were provided by filmmaker James Schneider. The interview with Quincy Whitney was recorded by Andrew Parrella at New Hampshire Public Radio. Learn more about your ad choices.
