Every ALLTRUEistic practice begins the same way. Before you enter the reality, you shift the state you are entering it from. The Resonance Sequence is the guided path into that state and it moves through five stages.
Arrive
Let go of the day. Of the roles. Of the stories. Attention comes out of the last hour and into this one.
Open Your Heart
Place your awareness in the center of your chest and breathe slowly. Warmth. Openness. With each breath, let gratitude, love, or awe bloom there. This stage supplies the charge that everything after it runs on.
Expand Your Awareness
Thoughts come and thoughts go. You are the awareness beyond them. Simply observe.
Enter Coherence
Heart and mind move together. Thought and feeling in harmony. You create from here.
Embodiment
See what you are calling forward. Step inside it. Feel it in your chest, in your hands, in your whole body. It is alive within you, right now.
The sound carries you
Music runs beneath the whole sequence with subtle binaural tones woven underneath it. Binaural tones present a slightly different frequency to each ear. The rhythm that results supports a settled, receptive state. Headphones deepen the effect and are not required.
Why the state comes first
A thought entered from a stressed state does very little. Survival narrows perception, and narrowed perception is the opposite of what creation asks for. Coherence widens it again. Mental rehearsal is well established in neuroscience. Vividly imagining an experience activates many of the same neural pathways as performing it, which is why athletes and surgeons rehearse mentally before they act. Repetition makes the rehearsed experience familiar to the brain. The Resonance Sequence puts you in the state where that rehearsal is most vivid.
Moving at your own pace
The sequence appears as a series of screens. Move through them by swiping or tapping, at whatever speed the day allows. Eyes open or closed, whichever keeps you present. Some days presence arrives immediately. Other days the mind is loud and the body restless. Both are ordinary. With practice the shift comes faster, until the state becomes somewhere you know how to go.
