Thank you for reading and listening to Sea Dream Press news!
In summary of my audio…
I have a heartwarming, frequency pulsating, energetic resonance gift to present to you today. Something really beautiful happened recently where I was reminded of the power of my voice and the effect it has on the listener. Numerous snapshots from my life followed, one after another in succession where friends, family and acquaintances had commented on my voice - they felt soothed by my tones, they felt their body shift from anxiety and escalating fear into calm, they didn’t know why only that they loved my voice. In the case of my friend, her words were, ‘I don’t know that you are aware of this, but you have a really beautiful voice.’
So, when out in nature and seated beneath a tree holding space for my dear friend who has been struggling to get any sleep, I sent her a message of where I was seated and what was happening around me… she heard my voice… she listened to the sweet birdsong… she tuned into the leaves swaying in the soft breeze. Her verbal response triggered a popping of the cork, for want of a more appropriate analogy… paving the way for how my heart and whole body wishes to proceed with gifting my latest memoir, The Unknown… to you, wherever you may be in the world.
Yes! I did write ‘gifting’ my latest memoir.
Presenting: Giving in Reciprocity…
Because I love delving into words and their meaning… let’s look at ‘giving’ and ‘reciprocity’.
Giving is derived from the Old English word, giefan… meaning to give, deliver or bestow. Giving is to present something voluntarily without expecting compensation or anything in return.
Reciprocity is derived from the Latin word: reciprocus which means moving backwards and forwards. When there is one movement forward there is another back… it’s an action in return.
So, Giving in Reciprocity is about providing my book, The Unknown, without expectation of anything in return, knowing that my one movement forwards means there will be another backwards where the recipient of a segment will take the same course of action and give to another. Whether that is to me, the Earth itself or another human being, community group or NFP organisation, the choice is theirs alone.
While I cannot offer the printed paperback version free of charge due to printing and postage costs… unless someone generously offers to pay for a 50-copy print run so I can gift them for free… I can record The Unknown in nature and share segmented pieces on a weekly basis. It is this combined triad effect where nature, my voice and my words/story are key to this unique delivery. Call it a live broadcast brought to you by EarthAUM.
Who knows, maybe it will be your Thursday and Sunday night bedtime story or my story and voice will be a passenger in your car. Regardless of when and where you listen, may my voice and story accompanied by nature’s rhythm and melodious symphony carry you into your personal dreamer abilities where more of you is revealed.
Why give? I’ll answer the question with another question… Because why should some people miss out on receiving a story that is essentially part of themselves? My story is, in part, your story… your story is, in part, my story.
As I wrote in Boundless, "In an environment where everyone sees their facet in the multidimensional configuration of existence, each player in the game of life knows its significance as an equal part of the equation and therefore contributes to the whole."
It is part of my vision that by giving The Unknown this will assist with the rewriting of money, where it is a joy to bring money into the frequency of light, love and purity.
Further Gifts to Give…
Every now and then readers’ of EarthAUM (my personal newsletter) may receive additional audios and videos… known as, 'Meanders with Leanda' from wherever I happen to be. As I move from community to community my body picks up on the energies present… more about this in my EarthAUM newsletter. When the impulse arises I may also share tonal singing.
We all have gifts that some term abilities; it is these multidimensional skills along with presence and awareness that can detect harmonious or denser energies and gently hold the space for positive change to take place. Everyone has what I term 'beyond abilities' - these are not outside of us but within us, the deeper we listen, be still, allows them to surface.
How Giving in Reciprocity works…
GIR is about listening to your body and decoding what feels right for you. You may feel impulsed to make a donation in appreciation for my work. Equally, you may pay it forward and assist a person to cross the street, pick up rubbish on a walk, pay for another person’s groceries - all of life is a choice for us to act in respect and reverence for each other and the Earth. The unique roles we are here to carry out as we express ourselves from the depth and breadth of us is very precious.
So, while my giving in reciprocity is my latest memoir, The Unknown, I don’t ‘expect’ in return, rather there is a ‘knowing’ and a ‘building of trust’ within myself in conjunction with the elements, where I will always receive what I need.
This feels to be a big step for me, yet my entire body feels at onement with this decision as I have not ever felt truly comfortable ‘naming my price’ in life, whether that be a product like the Write to Heal Signature Essential Oil Blend I once created, my books, guided tonal meditation downloads/CDs or offering services as a healer and writerly guide… it really has been a case of, how on Earth could I ever be fully compensated for all that I have given and do give today when so much of it is unseen? By unseen, I am referring to my frequency of light, love and purity. As man created money and is not native to the Earth, it goes without saying that my currency is of genuine care - for you, the planet and all living beings. Yes, cash is still needed for obvious reasons, however, this is one step I feel impulsed to take for the greatest beneficient good of all.
