INTRODUCING A NEW THING TO MY PROFILE AND IM CALLING IT

"DAILY DOSE OF EDUMACATION"
(may we learn something new every day!)

Day 1:
Have you ever listened to music or watched a dramatic/emotional scene in a movie and experienced goosebumps? You just experienced something called Frisson.

FRISSON: Aesthetic chills, or psychogenic shivers in response to outside stimuli such as MUSIC 🎵 ART 🎨 & SPEECHES 🎤
Frisson is a common phenomenon that is experienced by roughly 55%-85% of people worldwide, BUT only about 50% of those who experience Frisson will experience Full Body Frisson, and the science behind it is interesting, and well documented studies.

In the spiritual context frisson can be explained as an a direct energy exchange between you and your surrounding environment. It can happen directly between people, places, or even things. Some of the strongest healers and those in tune with their divine source/energy will experience this.

Frisson is experienced through "Openness to new experiences"
- So the more your willing to fully immerse yourself in a situation/experience, both in mind, in body, and in soul, the more likely you are to experience this phenomenon. The more open you are, the more intense the Frisson experience will be, such as "full body frisson" -something that I experience regularly, which is why music is part of my spiritual beliefs.

I also have a theory that it can be connected to Florence Syndrome: when someone hallucinates, faints, or becomes dizzy when exposed to overwhelming beauty and art.

See if you can experience this for yourself. Its a beautiful thing!

Frisson: Also known as aesthetic chills or psychogenic shivers in response to outside stimuli such as music, art, and speeches...

So decided to thrift a dress for my daughter for the renfest and spruce it up with some old things I had on hand. The pearl jewelry I attached to the side of her dress, and the wings are also thrifted but I’ve had them for probably 8 years 😂 The stitching on the outside is my own design and I’ll be doing all the colors to match her dress/wings so that it all blends together.

Im pretty excited for my 6 year old little fairy ✨ She is special needs and loves music, dancing, and the renfest but she’s got her own sassy personality 😂 I hope she wears the wings! 🫠 otherwise looks like I am 😂

Okay i had an idea 💡 this may not go with everybody … (I plan on attaching this to my Shoulder strap )

I’ve seen alot of questions in other groups, about the easiest way to display the trinket trader badge?? Well here’s my thoughts: Basket bin tags from dollar general. You can customize the tassel and write on it with permanent marker. Bonus for being made with wood too 🤓

This could also be a walking stick accessory 🤗
