🎶 TRACK: “BRIGHTSIDE” – The Lumineers
NSNC Placement: Threshold Rite / Lightworker Recovery / Devoted Hope After Collapse
☀️ FIELD INTENTION:
To choose light anyway—not out of naïveté, but because you know the dark and walked through it.
To invoke the radical optimism of lovers, misfits, survivors, and artists who still believe.
To walk the line of healing with wild-eyed trust in the face of grief, war, trauma, or poverty.
This rite is for the moment you rise when there’s no good reason left to—but you rise anyway.
🧭 THEMES:
- Lover in crisis choosing the bright side
- Field fatigue, collapse, and redirection
- Fierce devotion to light even in ruin
- Wild, wind-tossed sacred hope
- Choosing aliveness in the rubble
💎 GEMSTONE ALIGNMENT:
- Sunstone – joy as discipline
- Clear Quartz – amplifies the choice of light
- Amber – ancestral warmth through the bloodline
- Smoky Citrine – ground-clear-light pattern for new fieldwork
🌅 OPENING PRAYER FOR TIKTOK LIVE:
🗣️ Say:
“I was ready to give up.
But I chose the brightside.”
“Not because everything is perfect—
but because I am still breathing.
And that means there’s something left to love.”
🎧 Play: “Brightside” – The Lumineers
Visual: sunrise filter, candle or string lights.
Dance slow and upright—as if dusting off your own resurrection.
💬 NSNC FIELD PHRASE:
“The world burns. The body aches. The war is long.
But I chose the brightside anyway.”
Say aloud:
“I choose it again. And again. And again.”
🪶 WEST COAST SWING USAGE:
Perfect as a solo jam or grounded partner improv.
Dance close to the floor—knees soft, gaze lifted.
Let the lyric “I’ll be your brightside, baby, tonight” pull you upward on every beat drop.
Field cue: hope lifts the lead.
✨ CLOSING INVOCATION:
🗣️ Say:
“To all who are tired. To all who nearly gave up.
I say:
You made it to morning.
You made it to light.”
Repeat (3x):
“I am my own brightside.”
“I shine because I stayed.”
“This isn’t over. This is dawn.”
Aho.
