The Peach Effect: How To Edge Through Life

If you need me, I'll be here embodying an early 2000s Faith Hill 

The best moment of my life was eating a juicy peach. The most bizarre thing about the moment was I knew that this was the best moment of my life while it was happening. It was so sweet, so profound, so perfect that while it was happening I declared in my head that “this is the best moment of my life”. This happened almost more than 10 years ago, and this is still moment still reigns as the best moment of my life.

This happened on the heels of a synchronicity spin where I am “on one”. That’s what me and my friends call it, when things are extra glitchy and the veil between the subconscious and conscious seemed to have disappeared. We call this “being on one”.

If you didn't read The Secret in the early 2000's, did you even have a spiritual awakening?

The Secret

Like any young midwest girl chasing whimsy and truth in the early 2000’s, “The Secret” obviously played a major role in the unfolding of self. I honestly don’t remember how this book fell in my lap, but being the veracious reader that I am- books always fell in my lap because I would always read them. I was reading “The Secret” and they started talking about the synchronicities and manifestations. This part was something that was not unfamiliar to me, but never knew that you could call something a “manifestation”. I just always got really excited about the thought of something happening, and voila, it happened.

This was the first time I had wanted something to try and see if I could make a manifestation happen. I had just landed in a rag tag punk house, where we ate from garbage cans, didn’t have smartphones or wifi, and I learned how to play the guitar, cook, and build a bonfire. The vibes were high. It was like how life was supposed to be for a recent cllege drop out whose head of the Urban Planning and Policy Department told her she “belonged in the streets, not behind the computer because that’s where you would make the most difference.”

I left college and went and hung out with a bunch of anarchists activists that would end with me having to find new housing in account of our house being raided by the FBI as I apparently was living with one of the most prolific hacktivists of our generation.

Alors

I’m reading “The Secret” and the book is just coming alive for me. I feel it pulse through my soul, and I’m just so excited. I declare that I am going to manifest new furniture for my bedroom. I go out on my bike to do errands or something, and I run into my friend who is skateboarding and offers me a joint. I kindly oblige, and we chill and go on our way. Is there anything sweeter than running into someone and then getting stoned on the streets of Chicago in summer? No, the answer is no.

I then run into another friend in The Loop, and he invites me to hang out. I say “no I can't, I’ve got my bike”, and he was like “no problem I have my van”. I through my bike in the back, and I lay down next to my bike. He stops and makes an errand, and I’m laying in the back of the van and I pull out a peach from my backpack. It’s perfect. It begins to drip on my face, and I imagine that its blessing me. This peach is making sweet love to my face with its juices pouring down my face and onto my neck. I thought to myself “This is the most wonderful moment of my life”. The serendipity of running into people who I loved, made me feel so supported and excited to be living the life I was living. The peach was a manifestation of everything that was going right in my life. I felt like I was making sweet love to this damn peach.

When I got home to my cozy and chaotic punk house, there was furniture in my room. I was confused and I my trombone playing twin roommate ( I was living with a set of twins to make things even more surreal) what the deal was and where it came from. My roommate said “oh the neighbors moved out and asked if we wanted the furniture and you didn’t have any furniture so here you go”. Well damn, that peach was good.

Arnold Schwarzenegger explains how it feels like he “coming day and night” 

“ I Am Coming Day and Night, It’s Terrific”

This blissed and pumped up interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger shows us the power of the pump. He described how good it is to get pumped up, that “I’m getting the feeling of coming in the gym, I’m getting the feeling of coming at home. I am coming day and night. It is terrific.” This is how life can feel. There are different ways to access this “edging state”, but one of the quickest ways I’ve found is through breathwork. Doing consistent breathwork everyday will rapidly change how you. Personally, when I am living in these waves, I do feel like I’m simply edging life. Things seems easier, lighter, carefree. It’s like a sensual dance with life versus an obligation.

If you are looking for an intro to breathwork, try our 7 day “brainwash yourself” challenge. This will get the grinds going, and will change your life.

Life is constantly trying to show off for us. She wants us to notice her. She is flirting with us with the sun on our shoulders, the sensual sunsets, the smiles from strangers, or an unexpected joke in the grocery store line. Life is always trying to show us how beautiful she is. Sometimes we notice it, but if we really let the power of these small, wondrous moments move and change us- that is the power to create worlds and feel the tiny creation orgasms that echo throughout our life.

Change Your Body, Change Your Mind

dance in the street with strangers. live your life like you would get lobotomized in the 1950's 

The brain loves to get stuck in a loop. It certain, its safe. Create a loop that will give your life a glow up. Disrupt the pattern by keeping your body guessing what is next. Our 21st centuries are used to experiencing a lot more variety in its day to day. Energy gets trapped in your body and manifests as different ailments and stress. Somatic really are the missing key with this. If you can move your body differently (i.e dance), breath differently (i.e. orgasm, breathwork, laughter) or use your voice differently (i.e. sing or vocal toning) these can change your body and in turn change how you think and perceive.

We have thought ourselves into oblivion, now don’t you want to be a dumb horny bimbo who is going to freaking have an o from smelling some flowers? Don’t you want to cry out of beauty from listening to a song that impacts you so deeply? Fall in love with book characters that make you move through life differently? Take a step to the edge, and fucking enjoy as your life unfolds like a flower.
