"Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you”– Walt Whitman
Moonlight shining, but bird song I still sing, far from this tyranny, yes a new dawn I bring. Sounds like spring, from the darkness emerging, but I fly through the seasons, for warm weather converging. The winter blues, can’t dampen my spirit, such a joyful sound, but oh did you hear it? It’s playing right now, with this music entwined, the orchestra of life are you with it aligned.
For harming of expression, cutting off the tongue, that sweetness of life might now never be sung. Closed off from the heart, like a bird in a cage, with only the shadows to light up the stage. Silently praying to fly free from this jail, transformed by the gods into Nightingale.
For she is mute, it is he who sings, whistling in the night to see who it brings. A muse you might say, no not in a funny way, she brings creativity to creators, like a relay. An unseen force, moving things into being, liberation indeed for it’s ever so freeing. So honour your Lady and sing her praises, for it circles back around and creativity raises.
Boundary setting, don't quaver be clear, important for when others into your flight path over-steer. While silence says everything without making a sound, the Nightingale uses their voice to help hold their ground. Some people struggle to find that steady tone, keeping quiet without letting true feelings be known.
The Nightingale adapts their pitch on the fly, quick thinking and hearing from up in the sky. Vocal matching and social mirroring, establishing trust and comfort delivering. Emotional resonance, empathically knowing, the unseen and unspoken clearly now showing. True expression and feeling when together united, it’s the lesson of the heart where love is ignited.
Soul calling, at one with divine plan, this melody written before your life here began. Is it flowing through your being, the field of the heart, rising with each breath, with its true wisdom impart. Or is it unable to break free from all the gravity, the play of life locked in a chest like a cavity.
The Nightingale's song offers a natural stress reliever, soothing the nervous system, inner peace retriever. Nesting near the ground, not with its head in the clouds, true nature embodied, so no need to follow the crowds. Body relaxed, mind alert, calm but attentive from less of the hurt.
And let's not forget the Lombard effect, increasing its volume beyond the noise to connect. Amongst urban pollution and the city cries, it raises its tune for all of Nature to advise. Its soulful sound, so creatively adaptive, consciously keeping its audience captive,
So to the spirit of Nightingale let your vibrant vocals now fill the Air, and circle it back around for the Earth we must take care. Singing at dawn, to welcome the Sun's rays, and again into the night, for its radiance we should praise.
These are my own insights, but a great beauty of life is that of perspective, so how might others respond to the spirit of Nightingale, unbeknownst to this being the spirit they are receiving. How might they perceive it through their six senses. And with this human chapter now nearing its end, it's time to raise your expression, for resonant frequency to ascend.

That was the most intense Plantally session I have ever had. The first 2 songs were just floods of tears. The third song illuminated that these were related to a wound from my dad that he wasn't able to show love, emotionally or physically, and it had affected me more than I realised.
After this realisation I was shown myself combining with the divine masculine aspect of myself and the divine child aspect of myself and wrapped in a cocoon of blue healing light.
On reemerging from the cocoon I went into the ocean until almost the end of the last song. Then finally flew out of the water with fully stretched wings and glided through the air.

For me I took some time to settle and breathe before. Lots of ear buzzing and toning. Right ear particularly. Early experience was a lightening or a lifting less heavy, more luminous. Separating light nodules from the weight of the physical. Mostly colours as visuals, purples, blues, whites, nebulae. Soon I was away from physical. Fast but fluid and non temporal. I woke bolt upright suddenly with the sensation of falling. Eyes opened and sharp breath as if to catch myself. Closed eyes and settled back in. This took me to a place of no sound, no image, no time. Until I gently emerged here again. In my home. The music was finished. I feel very present and slightly more nimble connection between spirt and physical. Noticing I and the me noticing i … both gentle and powerful. Subtle but undeniable. Still settling back into the weight of the body. Walking is slow and slightly off balance. Stillness now.

My heart was beating so strong I felt there were footsteps outside. I connected strongly with my inner child, I planned the visit before we started the session. Had a beautiful moment, also connected with the vulnerability of children, how vulnerable they are, how there’s forces who’s aim is to corrupt them, how we must create safe spaces for the children that still are children, and those that live inside of us adults. Then it just became a state of nothingness. There was some darkness, there was some light. it’s so funny how, when it’s finished, the energy kind of kicks you out of the state and you naturally open your eyes, at least I. Now feelings of being gloriously at peace. Thank you for bringing the magic

Hugely powerful experience. Massive magnetic pulling in 3rd eye, definite flight upwards and fast, gasped for breath numerous times. Everything pulsing now, magnetic weight on back, crown tingling all over.
Elif
very somatic this time. no visuals. very much a journey through different parts of the body. pain, tingling, needle- like feelings, metal-sour taste, coldness in palms. the energy began aligning the left side and actively in heart, moved to right lower back, right side of upper body, brain, ears, nose, teeth sensitivity, left ear and throat. and the face lastly. opened the breathing. i felt like cocooned in an energy burrito. earth, fire, air and water in icy form experienced. energy surgery and alignments took place. integration continues. i observe.
Christian
All session I had been feeling very sensitive, my third eye opened into intense colours, many strong energetic pulses coming through my spine going all the way up into the crown many tears coming and relatives appeared, just vast landsacapes, and a light blue all over, feeling grateful for this time to go deeper within myself, beautiful session.
Phil
Wow I felt the energies very strong first in my arms and my legs and then later it's evolved around all parts of my being. My belly started turning around in many different cycles and energies. It was so beautiful to witness it. It was intense, it was strong.
I even had a moment where I felt it went into a pain in my belly and it removed some kind of shard or needle out of me, which was very beautiful.
Later in the session I also received visions. I don't fully know them anymore. The energy was very strong again and I was very grateful for the medicine and what it brought me today. Thank you so much
