What if awakening is happening not only within us, but within the Earth herself?

In this moment from Devotion in Motion: Heart-Centered Pathways for Transformative Times, Zahra Indigo Rønlov shares the vision behind 144 Earth Awakening. She describes 144 as the “hertz of awakening” and reflects on a threshold where dreaming and waking begin to meet. For Zahra, humanity is part of a much larger awakening. She describes us as cells within the body of Gaia, living in a time that feels like the first light before dawn.

What is it about Egypt that can open something within us?

For Zahra, the deepest transformation doesn’t necessarily come from what we learn or even what we see. It comes from what we feel.

What changes when we move from simply hearing to truly listening?

Devotional singer, poet, and mystic Eva Lyons explores the art of active listening and the power of giving something the full devotion of our attention.Using birdsong as an example, Eva describes how we can turn down the volume on distracting thoughts and become more deeply attuned to what is around us. When we offer our attention fully, listening becomes more than receiving sound; it becomes a relationship and a dialogue.

What does it mean to have a spiritual practice that feels truly your own?

Devotional singer, poet, and mystic Eva Lyons reflects on the difference between following practices because we’ve seen how someone else does them and discovering how prayer, connection, and spirituality authentically move through us.Whether we’re relating to prayer, the elements, the directions, or other aspects of spiritual life, Eva invites us to find a way of connecting that feels deeply aligned and “head to toe real.”

Our spiritual practice can evolve as we do. The invitation is to keep listening for what feels authentic, freeing, and alive within our own relationship with the sacred.

How do we stay grounded when conflict pulls us toward judgment, anger, or despair?

Clinical psychologist Russell Park shares a practice he learned while serving as Chief of Mental Health in the California prison system: holding the tension between opposing sides long enough for the “us versus them” polarity to begin to soften. Russell brings that lesson into our lives today, asking how we can remain aware of what we’re giving our attention to without allowing conflict and the constant flow of difficult news to consume our energy.

What we focus on matters. Sometimes caring for ourselves means recognizing when anger, judgment, or despair is taking over and becoming more intentional about what we allow into our inner world.

Join us for the full conversation with Russell on Devotion in Motion: Heart-Centered Pathways for Transformative Times. The episode premieres Saturday, September 26, under the Full Moon.

Can the difficult places in our lives become openings to something sacred?

Clinical psychologist Russell Park reflects on how some of our deepest spiritual experiences can arise when we aren’t seeking them at all. They may emerge when we’re facing difficulty, encountering an old wound, or simply becoming willing to open to what is happening. For Russell, learning to “see God in the shadows” means recognizing that even our wounds can become places where we encounter the divine.
