Back in the Groove

In retrospect, taking two ‘moonths’ to relocate and get back into the writing groove is quite short. So now I am installed in my new writing room/music production space – just a little tidying up to do as you can see from the piccy above.

In the meantime, I managed to keep up with the production of the moonthly ambient tracks, meditations and lectures all inspired by Soulwaves : Insertions. The daily Just for Today’s also spawn two new meditations for Insight Timer a moonth.

As it happens, and this is no surprise, a break from writing has lead to a new perspective. I had already planned that the Duadex would go to some places I had never been before. The chapters are being serialised again via the Soundwise app … along with my usual moonthly outpourings.

What would happen though it I went to places wilder than my wildest dreams?

… onwards and upwards.

New Plans : New Perspectives

New Plans : New Perspectives

New Perspectives

It’s only just dawned on me that our recent house move played out over a whole moon orbit.

We started our move just before the April New Moon and this New Moon sees us in and installed with my new writing and music studio operational.

The location and views are amazing and it’s lead to a whole new perspective and focus. The plans that have been hatching over the last couple of years in particular have lead to me landing in the perfect place to manifest them more holistically and with enhanced grace and ease.

New Plans

A moonth off the usual rate and style of production has allowed a stepping back and starting up again and the gift of being able to see and ease into a new pattern.

So each moonth now looks like this :

  • Every single day, post a Just for Today illustrated meme on Twitter & in the Facebook Soulwaves Group
  • Each moonth these generate two new guided meditations for Insight Timer (effortlessly)
  • Each moonth, there is a new ambient track inspired by an Insertion (the music used as a background for the meditations above)
  • Each moonth, there is a new guided meditation inspired by an Insertion (again using the ambient background from above)
  • Each moonth, there is live lecture on the numbers
  • Each moonth, there will be a live meditation session via Insight Timer
  • PLUS the Duadex will start to flow !

Even in a moonth with limited broadband and time, there was still some content creation.

My main new project, the channelling of the third book in the Soulwaves Anthology, The Duadex, was put on hold. It’s starts again this moonth.

Have a listen to what I created between the packing and piles of boxes below …

dominoesThe Soulwaves Triptych

While it was well over 15 years, and 15 other books, before  Soulwaves : A Future History finally got published, the first of many dominoes seems to have toppled and started, well, somewhat of a ‘wave.

The second book in the series, Soulwaves : Insertions, duly emerged 13 moons after the publication of its prequel. The twelve short stories that it contained are now regularly inspiring the creation of ambient tracks, meditations and lectures all inspired in sequence by the numbers 1 to 12.

What is most significant though is the trigger provided by this author starting and leaving a huge open loop, first in Insertion i : The Scroll and then followed by Insertion xii : The Duadex.

What started as a novel and unexpectedly gave rise to a complete album of ambient music has now grown into a complete anthology.

Insertions BundleThe Year So Far

Just to give you an idea of what the publication of Insertions has triggered after four New Moons and three Full Moons:

  • Ambient Track #1 : Unification
  • Ambient Track #2 : Duality
  • Ambient Track #3 : Triality
  • Ambient Track #4 : Orrery
  • Meditation #1 : Finding Unity
  • Meditation #2 : Dabbling with Duality
  • Meditation #3 : Memes of Awakening
  • Lecture #1 : The Nature of Unity
  • Lecture #2 : Dabbling with Duality
  • Lecture #3 : Trusting Triality

Note that the Insertions Lectures are live inside the Soulwaves Facebook Group, on each New Moon, and then the recordings appear on the Soundwise app a few days later.

… in addition, each moonth we post a daily illustrated meme inside the Facebook Group from which I create brand new meditation which are released on Insight Timer – here’s an example from last moonth.

Soulwaves The DuadexSerialisation of The Duadex

The Soundwise app allows me to do something I have wanted to do for so long and that’s to serialise the delivery of a book. The ability of listeners to comment on a chapter-by-chapter basis also means that you can steer the direction of the book as I create it.

So the Duadex starts where the last book finishes, at the end of Epoch Six and the start of Epoch Seven. It explores what happens when Duadexes arrive on their target planets and sentient civilisations start to communicate with each other. Expect a few surprises though as all sentience is not necessarily how we currently see and perceive it.

You’ll also be pleasantly surprised as each chapter is told in the style of a meditation, accompanied by ambient music from the Soulwaves Albums. I am calling them Meditales – have a listen to the preamble to get the idea.

Tapping into the Magic of Creativity

Igniting the Spark

Igniting the Spark

by | Mar 19, 2021 | Chatting

My guest on this podcast is Stephanie James – a psychotherapist, transformational life coach, presenter, radio show and podcast host, author and film maker, so somewhat of a polymath.

In this podcast, we chat about the nature, source and infectiousness (in a nice way) of a spark.

We start from where the word ‘spark’ came from in the first place and then find out what first ‘sparked’ Stephanie off.

Etymology of Spark

Igniting the Spark

by Töm Evans with Stephanie James

Topics covered :

  • The spark within us
  • How sparks cascade
  • The source of sparks
  • How to rekindle a dampened spark
  • The importance of grounding
  • Book-ending your day
  • Marinating a spark – in dream time
  • Are sparks internal or external – or both?
  • Using the breath to really ignite the spark
  • The different forms that sparks appear in
  • Embracing all forms of emotions – that then spark things off
  • The 12 Lights of the Round Table
  • The other side of the Surrender Point
  • Awakening to a new way of being & the gift of another day
  • When Sparks Ignite : the movie : watch the trailer below

Moon PhasesRiding a Moon Wave

While I have operated with the Moon phase in mind for many years, this year I am using it as the clock to which I time the creation and release of my new output.

[ image by the amazing Georgia Hofer ]

Apart from giving me a target to stick too, it seems to have brought a new level of creativity along with it. So by the day that this blogcast goes live, I will have completed three new ambient tracks and two guided meditations and delivered two lectures – all inspired by the book Soulwaves : Insertions and the numbers 1 to 12.

In the background, I am guided by moonthly readings from the intuitive business astrologer, Louisa Tanner Munson. Along with it all, and with the constant help of the Council of the Light, the most amazing serendipities are flowing my way too.

Like all ‘waves, this serendipity is bringing others along for the ride too … thanks for all those surfing with me.

Creation of Ambience

While all this creation to the Moon Phase is going on, I have found a new way to relax – and that’s to create audio mashups of ambience. Some are entirely new and some permutations of existing tracks. Apart from anything, I find them great to listen to while I am writing – as I am doing now. It’s a great way to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Listen to my latest two tracks below …

SeasonsSpringing Forward

While creating in tune with the Moon has its benefits, so does syncing yourself to the seasons. So on the Spring Equinox, the opening chapters of my next book, The Duadex, will be released in audio exclusively to my Soundwise subscribers.

It’s the in third book in the Soulwaves Anthology and will bring together many of the threads set up in the first two books. Indeed, it starts where the end of Insertions leaves off when sentiences in each galaxy receive their Duadexes. What follows is the Universal Unification – with a few lessons learned along the way of course. While it is complete fiction, you can also take it as being true.

What’s different about this book to all my others is that subscribers can have a hand in its direction and evolution. You can subscribe to the Duadex and my other moonthly creations here for much less than the price of a takeaway pizza a month. Your subscriptions will be gratefully received and all help to help me create more and more …
