Can Human Consciousness Influence Photons?
A Deep Dive into the Radin Double-Slit Experiments For over a century, the double-slit experiment has been one of physics’ most mysterious demonstrations of the quantum world. Photons—tiny particles of light—behave like waves until they are observed, at which point they behave like particles. Traditionally, this “observation” means a measuring device , not a human mind. But between 2012 and 2016, consciousness researcher Dean Radin, PhD , at the Institute of Noetic Sciences

There Is No Pristine Wilderness: A Realization About Relationship
Today I had a profound realization: To survive, to practice the skills of living with the land, there is no such thing as pristine wilderness. Every piece of land is already in relationship with someone. Every forest, meadow, shoreline, or park has a history of human hands, human tending, human presence—sometimes nurturing, sometimes destructive, but always present. There is no wild place untouched by people. There is only land in relationship. For a long time, I believed tha

🌿 Listening Turns: A Simple Practice That Changes Everything
Birds listen to each other constantly. A gentle guide from Wild Nature Reiki & Somatic Touch Practice Most of us grow up without learning how to truly listen — or how to be truly heard.

That’s where Listening Turns come in.This practice is inspired by the lineage of Betty Martin and the Wheel of

🌿 Polyamory, Connection, and Clarity: A Conversation
Lately people have been curious about what polyamory really means in practice. Below is a conversation-style exploration of how I live it—how I balance honesty, love, and freedom while keeping every connection grounded in consent and care. 💞 What does being polyamorous mean to you personally? For me, polyamory means being open to romantic and emotional connection with more than one person, with honesty and compassion at the core. People can love multiple children or friends

How to Ask for Touch When You Feel Starved for Affection -- Consent Practices
Touch is a basic human need — as essential as warmth, food, and belonging. Yet for many of us, especially in adulthood, touch can become complicated. We might crave it deeply but feel unsure how to ask. We may even feel ashamed for wanting it at all. If you’ve ever felt “touch-starved,” you’re not alone. And the truth is: asking for touch is a skill — one that can be learned, practiced, and refined with care and courage. 💞 My Experience: Learning to Ask When I attended a rec

Consent Training practices, from the Wheel of Consent by Betty Martin.
The Wheel of Consent , developed by Dr. Betty Martin, is a simple yet profound framework that helps people understand the dynamics of giving and receiving in touch and communication. It reveals that consent isn’t just about permission—it’s about clarity: Who is this for? The Wheel has four quadrants , created by crossing two axes: Who it’s for (you or the other person) Who is doing the action (you or the other person) From this, we get four experiences: As a practioner, my
