A Time of Upheaval
Over the next few weeks, I’m exploring a set of simple but profound tools designed to help rewire the nervous system and shift from a state of chronic survival into one of attunement, hope, and creative flow. We’re living in a time when the cracks in “business as usual” are everywhere — political polarization, cultural upheaval, economic uncertainty, and a steady stream of disturbing revelations. Many people are sensing that something deeper is happening, even if they can’t quite name it. *Notes from the Matrix* will be my way of sharing how these tools help navigate the turbulence without being consumed by it — staying connected to a deeper current beneath the noise.
Why I’m Doing This Now
I’m not writing from a place of having all the answers. This is a living experiment — a real-time engagement with a set of practices taught by my friend and teacher, Shifra Chana Hendrie, in her *Quantum Imprinting* process. These tools are designed to work at the level of the nervous system, helping the body move from survival mode into a state where it can receive and hold a deeper reality.
I’ve committed to working with these tools daily until Rosh Hashanah. The process will be part personal practice, part open journal — a way to document what happens when the work of transformation moves from the abstract into the lived and embodied.
The World We’re In
We’re in a time when the surface of life feels thinner — as though more of the wiring beneath the world is visible than before. Political divides are sharp. Cultural narratives are in flux. Corruption and shadow systems are being exposed in ways that are hard to unsee. Economic and ecological uncertainties loom large.
For many, the effect is destabilizing. For others, it’s strangely clarifying — as if the “glitches in the Matrix” are signals that the old structures can’t hold forever. But even if we sense something new is emerging, the turbulence can still sweep us into fear, cynicism, or paralysis.
What I Mean by Attunement
Attunement is the opposite of living in chronic reactivity. It’s not about controlling what happens outside us — it’s about tuning the inner instrument so we resonate with a deeper frequency than fear.
For me right now, attunement feels like a blend of hope, faith, and creative flow. It’s the capacity to meet what’s in front of me without collapsing into it, and to keep my actions and presence aligned with something steadier than the headlines or the latest outrage.
This isn’t about perfection or constant peace — it’s about returning again and again to a grounded state that allows for clear seeing and responsive action.
How I’ll Be Sharing
*Notes from the Matrix* will be a series of short reflections drawn from my practice with these tools. Some entries will be no more than a paragraph or two. Others may expand into a fuller exploration of what’s shifting for me.
