Hello, and Welcome to the Blog of The Mountain Mystic
Here, we explore the embodied path of healing and light-filled transformation:
- as our own, sovereign selves
- in connection to the whole web of life we are all part of
Healing, in connection.
Transforming, as we call in the light, embody it, and ground it in to reality.
This is no path to bypassing reality. This is about grounding and embodiment in the truth of this physical reality.
Walking a path that has us opening to the magic, the mystery, and the wonder of all that is possible.
New Earth Embodiment is no high and mighty path that bypasses the challenges of our reality.
New Earth Embodiment is a grounded path to knowing reality for all that it is.
Brought to you through story and teachings centered on heart and soul connection to all of life on Planet Earth.
Here, we become the stand for making the old, toxic patterns of humanity die away as we co-create a heart and soul centered way of being that honors all of life here on Planet Earth.
The following writings are housed here and on Substack: an online community of writers, creatives, and other forms of human beings seeking connection through an open ability to express.
Note: I am currently in process creating The Mountain Mystic Blog as an upgrade from the original Upward Slopes Blog. Because I want you to have access to the most relevant writings, this blog is currently structured to get you access to where I think you best be headed.

What is Embodiment?
Embodiment is a simple and natural concept, but by no means is it an easy state to experience. Especially given our modern world, including the way it has wired us for generation after generation. The path of embodiment can be a slow-going process, and often a challenging one at that, but I promise you, it is worth it.
3. What to do when you wake up in a world of good vs. evil? (Embodied Activism in Practice)
How is it that there is so much real work that needs to be done to address the serious problems in our world (e.g., climate change and healthcare), yet those in power are actively taking us in the opposite direction?
It breaks my heart wide open when I look out on the ecosystems and human populations that are in direct need of help; yet, instead, are being directly targeted by those in power. The only word I can possibly come up with to understand what is happening is "evil." Because, when all data clearly points to a need to address problems, but those in power actively pursue paths to cause even more harm, we have to consider what is happening in a bigger context.

Embodiment Foundations
In this post, learn about embodiment as our central body of work: Connecting you skillfully into self, and further into the whole of life on Planet Earth that leaves you able to move through it all with more skill and more grace. It is along The Embodied Path that we move through the healing and light-filled transformation that we are ready for. More than this, it is along this path that we become capable of showing up for this world outside of self (our families, our communities, our ecosystems) in ways that matter most.
