Before the early summer swelter kicked in I managed to get some fun running in, it’s going to take some serious motivation to continue the course of training in these temps. ✊🏼

Orphic Egg - cover art for @luna_arcana

The egg symbolizing the universe with the serpent of creative life force encircled. How do we break out of the shell of our paradigm and emerge renewed?

“The egg is a germ of life with a lofty symbolical significance. It is not just a cosmogonic symbol — it is also a “philosophical one”. As the former it is the Orphic Egg, the world’s beginning; as the latter, the philosophical egg of the medieval natural philosophers, the vessel from which, at the end of the opus alchymicum, the homunculus emerges… the spiritual, inner, and complete man.” ~ C. Jung

Based on Jacob Bryant’s, Orphic Egg, 1774

I don’t know the story behind the photo reference I used for this water color sketch but it seems to capture something that goes beyond animal captivity... finding peace with what enslaves.

So long Comet NEOWISE, catch ya in another 6,800 years. Been nice waking up at 3:30am and staying up past 9:30pm to catch a glimpse from July 9-22.

THE HEART-BRAIN SYSTEM – JOSHUA TREE RETREAT CEN

THE HEART-BRAIN SYSTEM – JOSHUA TREE RETREAT CENTER

“The semi-independent network of neurons that constitutes the “small brain in the heart” is closely connected with the brain its self. Together, they make up a true “heart-brain system.” Within this system, the two organs constantly influence each other. Among the mechanisms connecting the heart and the brain, the autonomic nervous system plays a particularly important role. It has two branches: the “sympathetic” branch speeds up the heart and activates the emotional brain, the “parasympathetic” branch acts as a brake on both.”
– Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, The Institute to Heal

Special thanks to Terry Lynn Taylor of the Joshua Tree Retreat Center for having the vision of it becoming the replacement of the old illegible sun worn Institute of Mental Physics sign. Also would like to thank Juan Thorp for making the board, frame and install happen.

As the world was watching the world set upside down due to the COVID 19 virus, I began some drawings to process different concepts I have about the situation. I did this concept drawing I titled “~breathe~”, as an intention to “visualize healthy clear vibrant heart/breath center, respiratory passages and deep slow nasal breathing.” ~~~~~
