A bumblebee was bumping against my window for a good twenty minutes to try to find its way out. It would vehemently flap its wings, producing actually a lot of noise, and then fall back down to the bottom of the window and try again. Again and again and again.

Yesterday, i attended a workshop by Naida Luna, from Bioluminescent. She ‘played’ her Crystal Singing Bowls for us, which was truly amazing. We talked about the healing effect of sounds and was reminded again of the experiments by Masuru Emoto.
