SHE thinks like DaVinci

Applying the 7 characteristics of Da Vinci's framework (as written about by Michael Gelb in Thinking like DaVinci) to SHE’s transformational system, and my SolEarthing practice.


Curiosity and Awe:

  • Cultivating being childlike.
  • Dismantling all conceptual frameworks
  • Engaging the world with beginner's mind
  • Opening to the cosmic mystery


* How did the sun self organize itself? 

* If we'd been a caterpillar until now, what would a rainbow butterfly be like?


Demonstration: Learning From Experience — How am I SHE 4.5 B?

  • Test every idea - 4 hours a day outside barefoot
  • Don't take anything for granted - nearly every day for 8 years monitoring each breath
  • In an environment where I can completely open with 100% focus on my experience. 
  • Challenging ourselves: Being in the cold as much as possible


* Every moment new and more...

* Beginner's mind encounters the ecosystem...


Develop the senses to sharpen one's experience

  • Maximize the touch points via the senses with Creation
  • Letting go of concepts about how to see, taste, feel, hear, and smell to deepen the experience b
  • Savoring. How good can it feel to experience ...
  • How does the consciousness body employ the senses?


* How many touch points with the ecosystem?

* Beginner's mind and the senses...

* Gazing alternatively with right and left brains...



Willingness to embrace paradox, uncertainty and ambiguity.

  • Embracing paradox is fundamental -- 
  • Finite and Infinite, individual within the All, etc.
  • Letting go of all my concepts fosters uncertainty
  • How many paradoxes can I experience? And play with?
  • Continually opening to the mystery
  • Living in every moment new


* Letting go of all my concepts fosters uncertainty...

* How many paradoxes can I experience... and play with?

* Continually opening to the mystery...



Both art and science: Logic and imagination. 

  • It's logical that we are SHE 4.5B, and then I imagine being it.
  • Much alternating between left brain and right brain.
  • Loving the science of Existence and then cultivating the art to most lusciously savor it 


* It's logical that we are SHE 4.5B, and then I imagine being it...

* Alternating between left brain and right brain is what I continually do during SolEarthing...

* Loving the science of Existence and then cultivating the art to most lusciously savor it...



Corporality: cultivating grace, ambidexterity, fitness and poise

  • All in disc play is all about ambidexterity
  • Bringing the expanded consciousness states down into the body.
  • Active meditation cultivates fitness
  • Giving my body permission to move freely
  • Solearthing sway's my body in a figure 8 naturally.


* All in disc play is all about ambidexterity...

* Bringing the expanded consciousness states down into the body through double breath and breath hold...

* My active meditation cultivates fitness...

* Giving my body permission to move freely...

* SolEarthing sways my body in a figure 8 naturally...



Interconnection of all things 

  • Seeing overall patterns, structures, cycles and systems: As SHE 4.5 B, I'm fully embodying systems thinking 
  • I am the All being the individual experiencing the All
  • As I stand on the earth, I merge with the ecosystem. 
  • As the ecosystem, I merge with the universe
