A few years ago, my grandmother shared a video she had taken of me dancing alone in a school gymnasium when I was 5 years old. As I watched my child-self improvising through movement, I was amazed at just how natural dancing came to me at that age, as if it were in my DNA. Some of the moves even reminded me of the more advanced choreography I'd performed later in my adult life.
It was as if I was already resonating on a cellular level with what was to come.

Being introduced to dance as a child was the first pivotal moment in my life when something was resonating so strongly, I had to take action. The phenomenon of resonance in physics is when something vibrates at the same or similar frequency of another to initiate movement.
For the next 30 years, dance would be at the center of my life and shape who I am today on so many levels.
In my early thirties, another moment came along that would resonate just as strongly for me as dance did. It was the moment I was introduced to Reiki. I had no idea the day I walked into the classroom that my life would be changed forever. I had simply come to explore something new and learn how to find deeper states relaxation to improve my health and wellbeing.
When I look back on my 5-year-old self as well as where I was at 33, I realize two things. Dance had awakened me to my natural state of joy and Reiki had awakened me to my natural state of wholeness and wellbeing. They had each reached in and touched the parts of me that were ready to make a move and experience a transformation.
If you allow it, something magical starts to happen during moments like these. You say yes not just in your head, but in your heart and even on a cellular level. In turn, both your inner and outer worlds start to not only resonate with each other, but you start to experience synchronicity. As people often say, the Universe starts to conspire to help you.
I'm often asked if I get drained by other people's energy when I practice Reiki. I explain that I am not "doing" the healing or giving them my energy. Instead I am connecting with the presence of my own true nature and flow of wellbeing which in turn resonates with the recipient's whole and healed self. This initiates the flow of energy within them that will support the specific healing or transformation that needs to take place for their highest good in that moment. In fact, most times I step out of a Reiki session feeling rejuvenated.
The transformation of winter into spring is a beautiful example of how resonance and synchronicity work in tandem to support new growth and transformation.
The warmth of the growing sunlight and muddy soil resonate with the seed to inspire it to break open, take root and grow just as it's programed to do in its DNA. The sun and the mud aren't making the sprout grow, but their nourishing energies inspire it to begin transforming into a plant and support its growth along the way.
The energy of this time of year is about gathering up the inner resources you need for new growth, healing or transformation. In doing so, you begin to attract the outer resources and circumstances that will inspire you and help you to gain momentum in the process.
In this moment, what energies resonate with your own inner seeds of growth and transformation?
Do you want to feel more balanced and grounded to sustain your mind, body and spirit through the process?
Or do you want to feel expansive and open to receiving the opportunities that will support new growth?
What will motivate you to take consistent and inspired action?
When you greet each day with a clear intention to engage specific energies, that intention will shine through with everything you do.
Having a morning ritual to activate those energies is often helpful.
Dancing for 5 minutes to wake up your mind, body and spirit;
Meditating or doing a short ritual that aligns with those energies you want to experience; or
Simply placing your hands on your heart and stating how you want to feel all day will help to ignite the energies that will in turn resonate with the outside world.
When your inner space and outer world resonate, synchronicities start to happen, and life flows with ease.
This is the ultimate expression of alchemy and the magic of life itself.
