Bach - Cello Suite no.2 in d minor, BWV 1008

Again, my mind likes to associate music with moods and atmosphere, and even though winter can get gloomy, I love how easy it is to pair with cheery or with darker music. Here, one of Bach’s cello suites, has a hint of melancholy that goes well with the barren trees and the light snow on the ground, and it isn’t an over the top kind of sentimentality, it feels very sincere and moderate. The key is a tragic one, and was often used to emphasis a sense of loss [think of the chaconne from the d minor violin partita], and the prelude opens with a hint of sadness, and the writing feels as natural and “organic” [pardon the pun] that we hear in his organ fantasias. The allemande is a bit “lighter” in that it feels more like the French court dance of its name, and again I imagine being inside on a winder evening, candle light, maybe light dancing in a dim room of paintings. The courante livens this mood up even more by being pretty quick and charming. But then we go into the sarabande which takes us into the more saddened atmosphere that the prelude opened with. Despite being a “horizontal” instrument, the sarabande has very beautiful chord progressions. The next movement is two minuets, the first one is kind of bouncy, and when repeated a new melody is embellished over the chords, like you would expect from baroque improvisation. The second minuet is more content, a fun little melody over a pronounced rhythm. The gigue takes the piece to a lively and somewhat polyphonic ending.

Movements:

1. Prelude

2. Allemande

3. Courante

4. Sarabande

5. Menuetts 1&2

Do you notice or even feel frustrated because the supplements, medicines, diets, and modalities that seem to work for other people don’t work for you? Do you do what most would consider “all the right things” for your health and spirit and still feel that you are not functioning optimally? Do your energies, moods, and immune system feel like they need a boost even when you take extra time for “self-care?” 

If you answered “yes” to the previous questions, there is a very good chance that you are part of the 1% of the population that is genetically of higher frequency. People of higher frequency tend to be described as “hypersensitive,” empathic, intuitive, creative, sometimes perfectionistic, and (wonderfully!) complex. Despite finding that other people are drawn to them, higher frequency individuals often feel alone in this world because they comprise so little of the population. However, they continue to move forward with their lives in a unique, heart-centered way. They live almost strategically in different parts of the globe as “light workers,” here to carry out their important mission or “Cosmic Call to Action,” which is to help our species and planet survive and thrive as a more consciously awakened world. 

As a result, higher frequency people usually share many of the following attributes during this human experience:

1. A desire to find, confirm, or capture the essence of their true spiritual “home,” partner, family, and/or community.

2. A feeling that entities or angels are around them. They may even see or hear those entities on occasion.

3. A feeling that they aren’t achieving the success, relationships, and happiness they desire—despite having outstanding skills, capacities, and intelligence.

4. Changes in moods, emotions, and energy levels that appear to reflect the people or planet around them, as much if not more than their own condition.

5. Moments of feeling more “awakened” or conscious, but finding those times short-lived or unsustainable in 3D daily life.

6. Vivid dreams, and even moving, speaking, or acting out while asleep.

7. Periods of intense “shedding” of relationships, responsibilities, or priorities.

8. A feeling that time is moving much faster or even “getting lost” during regular activities.

9. Enhanced awareness of synchronicities and believing that there are no “coincidences” or “accidents.”

If you are of higher frequency, you likely also share a number of the following beliefs, perspectives, and ideologies:

1. “Service to Others” is your mantra or motto, which helps dictate the decisions that you make and all that you are and do. You know that what you do to and for others will affect you and your loved ones sooner or later—because we are all connected by frequencies, energy, our planet, and karma.

2. You see our earth and the human experience as a smaller part of a bigger picture. You feel almost like we humans are the experiment, playground, or “school” for spirits, entities, or forces from other dimensions, including some of your own soul’s energy source.

3. You understand that it usually takes dire situations to open people’s minds. You so want to be genuine in your interactions with others in your daily life, but feel more like you have to be a metaphysical “Clark Kent” and keep your Superman thoughts and talents in your back pocket. You find that it’s not until you come to the rescue of others in dire straits that they can look past your more spiritual cape and approaches. They are finally more open and just grateful to be helped.

4. You believe that happiness may or may not be the goal of this incarnation, but that living a life that is consistent with your purpose will produce all of the fulfillment you could ever want. It’s not about imitating what others call a “successful life.” It’s about feeling like you are on your OWN best path to your destiny.

5. You believe that your destiny is set and is great, but that free will and frequency can and will change the timing, ease, and efficiency of fulfilling that destiny. Consequently, you look to strengthen your frequencies and awareness level more than most.

6. You follow your heart, recognizing what science has finally proven. The heart senses and reacts to an event before it ever happens and even before the brain can process it. The heart really knows best, and first.

7. You don’t like that money is the focus and basis of our current world. You prefer to see people for how they are and what they feel, and not for what they have or whom they know. You prefer to exchange services and talents rather than money. For you, sharing your art, time, and expertise tends to reflect more of what’s in the heart than any other currency ever could.

8. You love and honor our planet and the natural universe. You feel the pains physically and emotionally when Mother Earth is ailing or rumbling. You may also feel the pull or mental and physical disruption during events like the moon’s cycles, solar flares, planetary alignment, etc. It sickens you that humans have prioritized greed rather than sustainability and kindness to the living things around us.

9. You recognize that each person has a different part in our global community. Regardless of rank, role, or training, each person is valued and crucial to the greater picture. The student is as important to the teacher as the teacher is to the student, as are the construction crews that build their school and the maintenance crews that keep it beautiful.

If the qualities and tendencies mentioned above resonate with you, then you probably have lots of experiences being and/or surrounded by a higher frequency person. It may not come as a surprise that–because of all of the energies that higher frequency people take in and take on from the world around them–they are quite prone to: food and environmental allergies; thyroid issues and adrenal fatigue; inflammation leading to digestive and/or joint issues; depression, addictions, or extreme highs and lows in mood; and intense relationships to sexual activity, body image, and/or exercise. Most higher frequency individuals feel the need to regroup or refresh by being alone and away from the energies of other people; by spending time in water or nature; by engaging in sports or physical activity; and/or by getting lost in music, dance, or other forms of expressive art—all to help rid themselves of the frequencies they take in, as well as to help rebalance their own energy systems.
