So I'm on LinkedIn Now...?

The truth is: I'm not even sure how this came to be. One moment, I was in a meditative flow-state in bed, and the next I was running to my typewriter to write down the sentence that just had to start an article for LinkedIn.

Very strange...mystical, even.

That article is still in progress, but I felt compelled to start setting up my profile and I made my first post!

The thing is: LinkedIn has a character limit and I was well over that with my first draft. Several thousand characters.

So here is the full, unabridged version of my LinkedIn introduction. My hope on this platform is to reach some of the most brilliant minds incarnated today. Many of them are sequestered in the working world, and I hope by infiltrating their sphere, I can increase the chance of kismet between us--that someone, somewhere will find one of my offerings just when they need it most.

The working population of our world is one of the most vulnerable. It is also the largest. Through LinkedIn, I will send them love <3

Of course, I will be sharing everything I post there over here, so worry not, dear ones! You will be kept "linked in" ;)

Five years ago, I procured this funky, green piano for free off the Bay Area Craigslist. All I had to pay for were the movers. On this piano, who I named Heart, I wrote my very first piano composition. It was on this magnificent instrument I first dared to teach myself piano through writing--and playing--my own songs.

Just about two months later, as my sister and I packed our twenty year old Subaru to head back East to our crumbling ancestral home, I wrote and recorded my very first album "Songs for My Mother."

The writing of most of the songs happened on the road. Before leaving our overpriced 1-bedroom in the Oakland Hills, my sister bought me Voice, the electric piano I now compose on.

Another find off Craigslist--this time $500 instead of free.

💛 Infinite thanks and gratitude to my sister (whose name is actually Free). 💛

And infinite thanks and gratitude towards my mother, for whom I wrote and recorded my very first album.

"Songs for My Mother" recounts the miraculous story of my birth; my mother defied the doctors (my physician-of-a-father included) in order to carry me full-term. We are all here because of our mothers, but I am here specifically because of the faith my mother carries.

It is through the faith of a mustard seed I was born, and it is with faith I align myself now.

Am I religious? Far from it.

A multi-god-having, Ancient-world-deity-loving astrologist and tarot reader, my "religion" is far from organized.

I find god in presence, in alignment, in the clouds, and in the trees. In a warm, needed hug, in the sweetest, crispest apple, and in a jar of prunes, too.

Yes, I love my prunes!!!!

"God" is everywhere, including inside our very souls. God is our souls; our souls are godly.

How, then, do we reconcile our inherent divinity with our current cultural climate of...well...let's say all of the grievances of our modern world stem from one thing:

Separation. As a global society, we are existing in a state of separation. The mere existence of geographical borders confirms this. Why do we even have countries? Why do we have different languages? Why can't we all just get along? Religion is another form—why do we need a middle man to stand between us and a higher power? Religious conflict further implicates the churches, mosques, synagogues, and more in the separation agenda.

This state of separation permeates into our relationships, with men and women battling against one another, race-wars seeming to go on ad infinitum, and class still being as big an issue today as it was in feudal society.

Remember Pangea? The massive supercontinent that once was our Earth? If there ever was a time we existed in total unity—with ourselves and the goddess who is Earth—it was during this time. Unfortunately, scientific records tell us humans didn’t ever get to experience that kind of unity—the continent broke apart before* we made it here.

Perhaps this is why we’ve historically struggled so much with coming together—we are missing the template, or blueprint, of unity consciousness. That is to say: if no human experienced full union during Pangea’s reign, no memory of it would exist in the collective human subconscious.

Unity may be new for humanity, but I believe it is where we are headed.

Five years ago, I procured my very first piano. It had been my lifelong dream to be a musician. Instrumentalists were the people I both envied and admired most.

We can look to the traits we envy in others to gain insight into the repressed, or fragmented, aspects of ourselves.

Many times, our souls fragment due to traumatic experiences. These experiences can happen in our early childhood and also in past lives.

>>Oh yes, we’re bringing the conversation on past lives and the eternity of souls to LinkedIn!!!<<

Past life fragmentations are the hottest places of wealth for us to access. And I mean wealth in the most expansive sense.

Since reconnecting with my ancient musical abilities, my life has opened up in power-full ways. I have finally become: accepting of myself, unconditionally loving towards myself, joyous, creatively overflowing, and prolific.

Still, sitting with Voice isn’t always easy for me. Indeed, there are times I feel an uneasiness about accessing this gift, a quiet inquietude that I am approaching something dangerous.

A few years ago, I had a dream where I was playing a grand piano virtuosically, completely lost in song. As I played, me and my piano were lifted into the air by a crane-like object and tossed into the ocean. I went down playing.   

And it is through connecting with music—and my expansive form of spirituality—that I have learned to stand once more. <3

All of this is to say: welcome to my LinkedIn page! My name is Spirit Hearts Song and I’m a multi-dimensional artist and shamanic practitioner currently living in a land-locked town in the Finger Lakes. On this page, I hope to share stories like the one I’ve just recounted, opinion pieces on how to END the gender wars through conscious embodiment of the sacred masculine and sacred feminine, nourishing self care how-tos for the working world, and any other little thing the Universe guides me to share.

I am a Leo sun, Scorpio moon, and Gemini rising. My Venus is in Cancer, which makes me particularly drawn towards romance and the womanly arts. An advocate for independent publishing (it’s the way of the future!!), I have published one full length romance and a sacredly sensual novella through my indie press.

After trying for years to “pop off” on YouTube (Instagram and TT, too, but YouTube was my main love), I quit social media cold turkey and am in the process of building out my own website: TheBookofSpirit.net

I believe social media sites aim to monopolize the internet; personal blogs are the revolution we need against the “big three” (YT, Meta, TT) completely destroying what the internet was for: authentic, individualist expression that brings us together by virtue of its authenticity.

Remember the days of bloggers? They were at their strongest when I was in high school and college. At 17, from the comfort of my home, I could connect with a Harvard student blogging about her sexual escapades, chic NYC teens dressed in their mother’s designer dresses, and more.

Nowadays, it seems like every blog post, vlog, or photo carousel is a regurgitated expression of a trend soon to be long past.

I seek to break away from all of that. If you’re looking to do the same—or follow along someone’s journey as she dares to divest—then let’s connect!

Togetherness is my ultimate goal, after all.

So it is with a big smile and a virtual hug that I once again welcome you to my page!

My name is Spirit Hearts Song, and I’m so glad we’ve (re)connected.**

XO,

Spirit

*according to scientific records, which are always up for debate in my house

**Oh yes,  if you resonate with my words, we’ve most likely incarnated together before. It’s good to have you back :)
