How to Build a Sawbuck | Homesteading for Beginners #7 Please note: This is a re-post from the MGP archives and is intended to add supplemental content to the channel. That said, a lot of what we do on our homestead has changed since we moved here in 2017. We have certainly refined our methods and approaches, to say the least. You will still get some important information from watching these videos, but just keep in mind that some of the information and teachings may be outdated. Still useful, just maybe not super current. In any case, we hope you enjoy watching our little farm evolve as the years go by. It has been a good exercise for us to also look back and marvel at all the progress that we have made. Taking note of our many accomplishments is highly validating and helps us to bolster our conviction for the future. Thank you for watching and for supporting our channel! ?? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RECq1HsHiN4

This is a video reply to a challenge that was posted on The Mind Orchestra community website (aka, The Resonance Room). Here are the challenge details: =================== Tuning into Your Environment: The Sound Exploration Journey This challenge is designed to encourage you to explore the healing power of everyday sounds and vibrations around you. It's simple, fun, and no additional equipment or purchases are necessary. The Challenge: Identify the Sounds: Dedicate 10-15 minutes each day to sit quietly in a space of your choice. It could be anywhere – your living room, kitchen, garden, or even a local park. Close your eyes and focus on the sounds you hear. They could be the hum of the fridge, the birds chirping outside, the rhythmic pattern of your ceiling fan, or the rustling of leaves. Record Your Experience: Journal about the sounds you hear, their rhythm, their pitch, their tone. Do they change with the time of day or weather conditions? How do they make you feel? Relaxed, agitated, nostalgic? Sound Story: At the end of the week, compile your daily observations into a "Sound Story". It's a narrative of your week-long journey, recounting the sounds and vibrations you've identified and their impact on your mood and well-being. Optional: If you're feeling creative, try to recreate some of these sounds using your voice or objects around your house. Compare these sounds with the original. Is the feeling they evoke the same? Different? Collaboration and Sharing: The beauty of this challenge lies in its collaborative nature. We encourage you to share your daily observations, sound stories, and recreations with the community. Post your journal entries, photos, and even audio clips if you have them. Discuss the similarities and differences in your experiences with others. Let's engage, learn, and grow together through this unique sound exploration journey! This challenge is open to everyone, regardless of your sound healing expertise. The goal is not to find the "perfect" sound but to tune in to the beauty and healing power of the sounds around us. Can't wait to hear about your experiences and sound stories! =================== Please support The Mind Orchestra by: 1) buying their music (which are all original compositions and collaborations with other artists) 2) registering for a virtual event 3) signing up for 1:1 coaching/training with Nick, and/or 4) by joining the community, where a lot of this stuff is included with your membership See the links below for details.
