As it turns out, our minds are capable of so much on their own when there are no prompts or external stimuli. That is, if we give them the space—and time—to do so.

The Bobbing Orb, as I have experienced it, occurs when I am overstimulated with noise, assignments, and social interactions. It is when my brain ceases to be an ordered arrangement of reason, memory, schedule, and responsibility and collapses—rather artfully—into a series of floating tendrils that barely keep me tethered to my basic obligations.

In October, the “mind” aspect will address mental health, stress, time management, and resilience.
