In November 2011, while I was taking a myofascial workshop in Sedona, Karl and Anthony went mountain biking. Memories

The most viral experience we have is with nature. In a time where we are measured by algorithms, numeric conversions, and the personas we display online, nature reminds us of a wealth that goes beyond technology—one where the Earth’s living systems are the most ancient intelligence we know, and have much for us to remember. One example of this is the incredible collaboration that occurs between birds, trees, and plants within an ecosystem. There is no metric of competition between these species, yet their existence simply helps one another live better—more fully. And there are now studies and theories in place regarding the effect of birdsong on plant and tree growth. In these observations, it is noted that the birdsong is a form of stress relief for plants, allowing for the stomata (pores) to open, thus improving the ability to absorb water and nutrients. How fascinating is it that the vibration of the bird’s melody helps the trees and plants grow with more vitality? What this reminds us is that nature is not an isolated system. Every single species within it holds a crucial role within the ecosystem—and we are included in this dance. Much of our illnesses can be attributed to the isolation we are exposed to on a daily basis—whether it’s behind the phone, desk, or steering wheel— a large portion of our time is spent disconnected from the very nature that nurtures us back to health. Let nature be the most viral piece of content you engage with today. Step outside, breathe with the trees, and let the birdsong open up your capacity for growth just as they do for the plants. When we put ourselves back into the woven care of nature, we expand our capacity for engaging with natural systems, one another, and ourselves in incredible ways—a dance where we are no longer the species isolated from its own home, but deeply entwined. A space where the words we speak and the energy we carry is like birdsong to the biology and psyche of each being we encounter—life-giving, nurturing, and balancing. . #zachbush #natureconnection #livingsystems #earthintelligence #natureheals #holistichealth #earthsong #consciousliving #livingearth #viralnature 11/08/2025

The Murder and the Guide 🦉 🐦‍⬛

A group of crows is called a murder. They often attack a single bird, take over its nest, and consume its eggs or hatchlings. The owl, however, is a very different kind of bird. It symbolizes guidance, wisdom, intuition, and the ability to see through deception. The owl represents a deep understanding of truth and is often seen as a messenger between the spiritual and physical worlds. Its silent, watchful nature suggests foresight, objective observation, and the importance of trusting one’s inner voice.

A mother owl sits firmly on her nest, guarding her young. When a murder of crows gathers to attack, she remains still, patient, and unmoved—trusting that perseverance and composure are her strongest protection. If her owlets choose to step outside her shelter, they make themselves vulnerable, but that choice is theirs. Regardless, she does not waver, even as the crows attack her or her fledglings. She knows that, eventually, the crows will tire and fly away, and the danger will pass.

Unlike a hawk or other birds of prey, the owl does not fight back aggressively or abandon her nest. Instead, she endures, steady and unshaken. In time, she leads her young to a safer place, but her strength lies not in force, rather in her calm, unwavering presence.

If we could learn from the owl—remaining grounded and steadfast despite the turbulence of the world—we might find greater peace. We can guide others, but if they choose to ignore our protection or wisdom, that is their decision. Our role is to remain steady, for worldly trials are only temporary. 🦉Paula Phelps Smart LMT-CLT ACM CPST

Our Story

Since 1997, I have been in practice studying different types of therapies and meditation from wonderful teachers in many countries; concentrating in Certified Lymphedema Therapist, Visceral Manipulation, Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Myofascial Release. Originally, I received my Masters in Business Administration from University of Tampa, and I worked in development for several non-profit organizations. In 1993 I was in a car crash which resulted in a L1- T12 fracture. Following the accident I was bed ridden for several years. My conus medullaris and cauda equine of my spinal cord were damaged. In the process I had to learn to walk again. Experiencing organ problems and horrific pain levels led me to travel the world in search of healing and seek treatment through many surgeries. The combination of western medicine, alternative medicine and mediation has brought me where I am today. As a result, I study therapies for my own healing process. My struggles have been a great asset to me; understanding pain and healing has many levels and can be a beautiful, transforming and hard journey to undertake. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to share the knowledge and wisdom that I have gained personally with my many clients today.
