🌐 The Frequency of Stillness
A Gentle Return to Peace in a World of Signal
“Not everything invisible is holy.
Some things buzz too fast for peace.”
A Moment of Remembering
We had just returned from six weeks in Rishikesh, India, where the air felt ancient, the nights were quiet, and our bodies reset to the rhythm of sunrise, mantra, and walking along the Ganga.
When we flew home to Memphis, it was to ship our belongings and hire a property manager to care for our house that were about to leave behind.
The first night back, the feeling returned.
That electric pressure in the body, subtle but unmistakable.
The Wi-Fi routers. The smart meters.
The new streetlights fitted with cameras.
The towering signal just outside our window.
And the knowledge that an AI supercomputer had recently been installed in the city.
The contrast was immediate. And undeniable.
What we’d called “normal” before, now felt foreign. Disruptive. Loud.
We weren’t imagining it.
The body never lies.
It simply waits for us to feel what it’s been carrying all along.
In a world alive with signals, messages, networks, towers, timelines,
there is a deeper signal waiting to be felt.
It’s the one beneath the noise.
The one the body remembers.
The one the Earth still speaks in.
We weren’t meant to be this tired.
Or this wired.
Or this far from the song of our own cells.
And yet…
many sleep beside routers.
Hold phones to their hearts.
Live with a quiet buzz they no longer notice, until the body begins to say something.
This is not a post about fear.
This is a post about returning.
To rest.
To clarity.
To the frequency of stillness.
What Is EMF, Really?
EMF stands for Electromagnetic Field—an invisible current emitted by things like:
Wi-Fi routers
Cell towers
Smart meters
Bluetooth devices
Appliances, LED lighting, even baby monitors
Some EMFs are natural (sunlight, the Earth’s magnetic field).
But many modern sources pulse constantly at unnatural levels, surrounding our bodies day and night.
Some feel it clearly, insomnia, pressure in the head, nervousness, fatigue.
Others don’t feel it, but their bodies are still adapting, still responding, still carrying the weight.
Especially sensitive ones.
Especially children.
Especially those awakening to their own energy field.
A reminder that sacred stillness has its own signal.
EMF Hygiene
Not about fear—about care. About sovereignty. About remembering what quiet feels like.
You don’t have to move to the mountains to restore your field.
You only need to create a small pocket of peace, and let it ripple outward.
1. Turn Off Wi-Fi at Night
Use a mechanical timer. The body regenerates best in the absence of signal.
2. Use Airplane Mode When Possible
Especially during sleep, meals, meditation, or intimacy.
3. Unplug Devices Before Bed
Chargers, routers, lamps, and power strips near the bed all add static.
4. Hardwire Instead of Wi-Fi When You Can
Ethernet cables bring stability, speed, and stillness.
5. Shield the Bedroom Gently
Try EMF paint, shielding fabric, or simply rearranging your space.
6. Relocate the Router
Keep it far from sleeping and stillness zones. Give it a bedtime too.
7. Get to Know Your Field
An EMF meter can show you what your body already feels.
8. Ground Daily
Bare feet. Trees. Soil. Nature recalibrates what technology disturbs.
Let stillness be the last signal your body receives.
You Were Made for Stillness
Not silence that isolates,
but quiet that reconnects.
Not withdrawal from the world,
but a return to the rhythm beneath it.
Stillness isn’t the absence of life.
It’s the presence of you, untethered, undisturbed, reattuned.
You don’t have to perfect this.
You don’t have to become anti-tech.
You just have to begin, one evening, one room, one conscious pause at a time.
📎 A Personal Note + Free EMF Hygiene Checklist
Lately, I’ve been writing more, on my laptop, surrounded by devices I once kept far away.
There’s purpose in it. I feel the call to share.
But I also feel the buzzing and hum.
After a few hours near the screen, my body lets me know:
a little more tension in my jaw.
a subtle tingling in my limbs.
a kind of forgetting that only stillness can restore.
So I made this checklist not just for others, but for us, too.
A reminder that presence doesn’t require disconnection, only care.
That we can meet the world without losing our frequency.
If you're spending more time online, working from home, parenting through signal, or simply wanting to sleep more deeply, this is for you.
Reply to this post, and we’ll send it directly.
It’s simple. It’s printable. It’s something to pin on the fridge.
Not as a rule, but as a remembering.

Everything I do is tech. I work online from home writing for a financial investment publication that focuses on AI and tech. It's terrifying and fascinating at the same time.
My family humors my desire to protect my energy but they don't wholly subscribe to the lifestyle.
I learned from various growth courses and masterminds over the years that the best way to teach a child is to be the example and the best way to involve your partner is to strive to live in your truth every day as opposed to trying to persuade them.
It's tricky to de-buzz my house sometimes so what I do is leave. I go on long walks outside as often as possible. I touch trees and plants. I go right as the sun rises when the world is still and new.
I would love a checklist to see how many things I could actively, consistently, realistically and dare I say stealthily do to de-buzz my home. 🙂
With gratitude for all you do,
Katrina
