Aekta's Whisperings

I am currently re-obsessed with Norse Mythology after a long break of ...can't count how many years it's been. I am especially interested in the etymology of Loki (& in etymology in general, across genres & subjects...) & may read more about Loki &/or other Norse Gods & Goddesses, myths, & stories in the future! Also, this is just a side-note, but I am NO EXPERT in Norse Mythology. I just find it it very fascinating & have been awed by it since I was about 11, though, I can trace back my 1st introduction to Viking & Norse influences back to my really early childhood through the music of Eluveitie (shared with me by an older cousin) & I absolutely loved some of their songs & found the female vocals very empowering as a 5 to 7 year old. Anyway, there may be another episode recorded on whisper reading the Wikipedia of Eluveitie, but this one introduces the Wikipedia page of Loki & then I jump into talking about tiny homes lol Another obsession I got back into after watching Hack My Home on Netflix & observe & enjoy my newly renovated bathroom...It got me reflecting on the time I renovated an apartment unit through the help of volunteers (I fundraised for the whole thing myself) & I am missing that type of confidence? Energy? Stamina? Practice? Or just YOUTH? Lol I had back at age 17. I've changed so much since then & yet in some ways, I feel like my values have stayed the same-I still care about creativity, sustainability, & community. I think the state of the world right now could use a tiny home village/communes/co-housing/"radical" movement of the re-purposing of spaces to decrease the amount of waste in our ecology.

Anyway, I will share more on my reflections on all the ways I can live with less & what that might mean for me as an artist.... This one's just a short whispered Musings + Wiki intro episode on 2 recent explorations ☺️ Enjoy!

🌱✨️

Also, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LISTENING TO THE PODCAST CALLED NORDIC ANIMISM (hosted by a PhD Scholar, Rune) IF YOU'RE ALSO EQUALLY CONCERNED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT & OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH IT + ALL RELATIONSHIPS IN GENERAL (including human relationships). The perspectives shared on there are ones that I truly respect and believe as the reasons why Norse Mythology & the more indigenous Nordic Viking culture always fascinated me. I would like to explore more indigenous cultures in general now...including Native American, African, & other indigenous cultures. They knew how to live in harmony with nature! & in some ways (better than us "civilized" humans today)...they knew how to live with more reverence, respect, & honor for self-sovereignty amongst themselves & other humans! 💓

Whispered reading of half of chapter 15 from Ender's Game. Hope this helps you doze off to sleep 😌😴🥱😴💤💤💤 Almost done with the book!..... The more tingly whispers begin at about 5min in....

Would you like to be fish that can also fly? & imagine your room underwater with the ceiling being the surface of the water, where you occasionally pop your head up & out, into the open air? Eventually ascending into the sky & flying about as you like? (Always remembering that you can come back home to the ocean in your room? Surrounded by coral)? It's somewhat how it goes... + some other random noises passing by with the background of the fan as a constant (& also what leads us to the end of the podcast episode....just fan with occasional whispers popping in...).. I wasn't sure where I was going with this one, & also got sleepy really quickly so I kinda just left it as is... The fan's noise is very sleep inducing (I hope it is for you as well!) (If you don't have your own fan on!) Enjoy this rather short whispered segment... I recorded it a few nights ago & didn't ever get around to publishing it, & tonight I am too tired to record, so here it is! Another filler, in-between episode. #random 😌 Melt into your bed & float up & away as a creature...or...simply burrow & ground deep into the grooves of your resting place, whatever helps you sleep 😌🥱😴💤💤💤💤💤🌬🧠🥰🥰✨️✨️✨️

I continue whisper reading Ender's Game about 26:50 min in. Until then, I just share some recent good news & things I am looking forward to & go on a few tangents about my best friends, my other podcast, healthy relationships & relationship knowledge as a special interest/a connecting point for my best friends & I...& whatever other mini tangents that find themselves in there! I hope this helps you sleep &/or relax through boredom &/or intrigue &/or whatever magic happens on here that keeps you coming back to listen & follow my podcast. 😊☺️ I appreciate every single one of you & hope you get something good out of this fun little, relaxing & weird podcast of mine! Thanks for listening ☺️🥰🥰🥰🌬🧠😌🥱😴😴💤💤🥰🥰🥰✨️✨️✨️🍦

Reflections about my weekend, the day, & recent realizations & confidence about un-masking my neurodivergence & encouraging everyone to do the same & be themselves. When we accept ourselves and don't force ourselves or others to change, we help everyone feel appreciated & valued for who they are! (Not who we think they "should" be) & create a more inclusive world. & then Ender's Game chapter 13! Called Valentine. This is one of my, if not, THE, most favorite chapters in the book! Maybe just the last chapter beats it...? I read about 75% of it tonight and I hope you enjoy my little updates & the whispered reading of this book! I hope it helps you relax, contemplate on the themes in the story, &/or fall asleep 😊🌬🧠😌😌😴😴😴🥰🥰✨️✨️✨️ Thanks for tuning in!

Also.... I am opening up to the idea of doing video episodes! Not sure exactly when I'll start...whenever I feel completely ready lol but... I'm entertaining the idea of it! Still a bit too ...shy? Self conscious? But increasingly more confident as I relax into my authentic self! 💖

Lots of happy giggles in this one 😁😄 My attempts at trying to explain why I think Loki as a character might represent the neutrino in Quantum Physics lol & then high vibe Musings about the latest episode of Loki (Science/Fiction) that I just finished watching...(no big spoilers! I promise!) More WILD theories about the nature & purpose of neutrinos, my excitement for flying cars, drone fireworks, maybe a technology with which we can capture images by blinking without inserting a chip in our brains? 😮🌬🧠🥱😴😴🙃🥰✨️✨️✨️P.S-The best parts of this episode begin at 19ish min in🙂Stick around...there's a mini motivational speech in there 😜 Thanks for tuning in 🥰🥰🥰 WATCH LOKI!!! (Not if you're trying to get to sleep now though... get insight timer and put on a Yoga Nidra for that...but when you're NOT trying to sleep, watch Loki) 😁

Another break from Ender's Game! I whisper read a recent interesting dream I had, without interpreting tooooo much (there might be more dream analysis I have to do if the dream or themes from it pop up for me in the future....). Then I somehow go on many tangents about where I am at in life, how I feel about money & the larger social structures that be, & muse on about things I am genuinely curious about & currently developing a healthier relationship to! In the last 15 minutes or so, I've just added a clip from another night in which I didn't end up publishing cuz I fell asleep, but it consists of very slow and sleepy sounding, barely audible but still there whispers...about trying to guide you through a visual foot massage, but I end up falling into hypnagogic states a lot & thus begin whisper rambling about checking things out at the store because now I'm having dreams about being a part time cashier since that's what I do for 4 hours a week in my waking life. Lol there's fan noise in the background to add to the drone like quality at the end...which is basically just random bits of whispered gibberish about toes, receipts, & rewards cards. They've got the script drilled into my head lol

This is my least favorite chapter of the whole book, because it has the most amount of violence & grief. In others ways though, it's an important turning point in the story, since Ender decides he wants to quit the game, & he is also graduated early to Command School by the end of it. This chapter shows how much Ender is affected by the teachers' plans to turn him into some kind of unstoppable force & how he breaks down after hurting a bully, even if they had it coming. The chapter shows us what Ender is capable of, when tested to his limits, & how, ultimately, he is just a boy whose been turned into a soldier & used for his intelligence & isolation as someone who never felt like he fit in. It's a sad chapter, but things will improve from here! The last chapters are probably some of my favorites! Only some of the beginning chapters and the ones in which Ender has real moments of friendship with some of the kids at Battle School compare....But we're nearing the end of this story & the biggest lesson in it all! I haven't read the sequels to Ender's Game... but I might pick it up this time around. I still haven't decided what the next book will be that I decide to share on this podcast. I might pause with the books and go back to guided meditations, affirmations, yoga nidra (I'm getting my certification! 😁☺️) or just random Wikipedia readings. I usually follow where my inspiration guides me....

Hope this Ender's Game chapter reading series has been helping you all relax & fall asleep. 😌🥱😴🥱💤💤🌬🧠

A brief intro sharing my excitement about this episode-a-night challenge I've taken on for my Enneagram 5 self to move into growth at point 8, & at 13:21 begins the remainder of Chapter 11 of Ender's Game. The teachers are testing Ender by rigging up the system of the games and testing his limits...he doesn't understand why, but he knows that he doesn't want to lose. Trust is more clearly established between Bean & Ender...or...is it? (Headphones Recommended- at least half of this is really soft, albeit fast, whispers).
