We went to BM with people that are very into dancing to house music, so I was kind of horrified on thought alone, of how I will be able to have fun with this kind of music!! I was never into this kind of beat, but always open to explore the new. However being there in the present moment, and flowing with it, merging with the sound, and the crowd, I absolutely loved it, and I had so much fun!! It is like a completely new language evolving, I am exploring sound in a very new ways with my whole Being. &lt;br /&gt;After our return it is like this kind of dance scene came back home with us, and came along this woman that started up monthly dance events called Dream Craft. Tomorrow it is happening the fourth one, and I feel so deeply hooked, and excited about it! I am usually pushing myself beyond my limits, dancing for many hours, until it is hard for me to even walk in the next day;))&lt;br /&gt;At the beginning I am usually focusing on doing a lot of healing work, looking within, connecting deeper with my body and spirit. After a while I am in a deep trance state, in a full presence, and with my light body fully activated..I am bathing myself in light, connecting with my higher self, exploring the new patterns. My belly dance and qigong background are deeply enriching my whole experience. In my dance I love to tap into the snake medicine, and to shape-shift beyond my body. We have here all different kinds of DJ's..a little bit of everything..some psy trance, dub step, electro, progressive, and house..&lt;br /&gt;We come together to celebrate life, to pray, to worship the Goddess, and to dream a New Earth into being!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;img style="margin:0;width: 500px;" src="http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/5980/blogdreamcraft.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393382048402442322" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-1701015191693536199?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2012/01/dream-craft.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-3343364767332004526</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-11T01:24:28.471-07:00</atom:updated><title>Sacred Spirit</title><description>I haven't been able to write here in a while, and my intention is to come back to this practice..&lt;br /&gt;I need to focus more of my attention on making my website a better working tool, so in better ways I can share with what I came here to offer..with my Being, the true expression of the light of my Spirit through my arts, my stories, journey guided by the sound, and the wisdom from the experience.. so hopefully you can drink an inspiration infinitely from this well.. and benefit from my ways to heal and transform.&lt;br /&gt;We are all such a great storehouses of information..through sharing we can assist each other in our growth and development, in our very unique journeys, yet being united as One.&lt;br /&gt; I have a very simple, and short, yet profound dream one night, where I am gifted with a blooming white flower from Mother Gaia!&lt;br /&gt; The other day I traveled to the very dark realms, to bring back the light of my true voice, that was repressed over the ages through the catastrophic events, and other dramas. I realized more clearly how powerful force it is, and I saw my further path of working with this medicine. I could just surrender fully, and let the voices of the ancient ones to speak through me. Also in my dreams at that time there was surfacing something as I perceive as the old repressed memories. At first I was witnessing the splashes of a rainbow over the horizon..then through the sky there were moving very fast white-blueish lights, and I saw something like a very unusual storm raging, and the view clearing up into something like a massive globe approaching the Earth. After this I was sucked into the ocean, yet staying on the surface, I was riding the waves. &lt;br /&gt; Very shortly afterwards I participated in a Medicine Song Ceremony being led by Phillip Cash Cash aka Piitamyanon MaqsMags ("Yellow Hawk"). He was born and raised on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in northeastern Oregon and is a Weyíiletpuu (Cayuse) and Nuumíipuu (Nez Perce) person. Phillip is a younger speaker of Nez Perce, a severely endangered language. Whenever I heard him speaking before, I had always shimmers traveling through my body, and this gathering impacted me to the core of my being. By a long time we were singing, drumming, rattling, waking up the Earth with the staff, and asking the Eagle Spirit about an assistance in our own healing, and healing of humanity, sending out our prayers..&lt;br /&gt; I thought that I am already so spiritual, and very awake..a very well experienced cosmic traveler to the inner realms, yet the great healing, and radiance I was opened to in the next full moon day, made me realize how still very asleep I was! &lt;br /&gt;I was following my intuition with all my actions.. and I see that coming across this footage with an opening to the inner Earth, and having chance to hear the sound from within, had also a great impact on me, and it expanded my awareness..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Vadj0Nkby58" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did my private full moon ceremony, going within. My intention was to see the truth, and I had to break through so many layers of illusion! The crust was very thick, on the way to the core, and I had to pass through a serious testing. Work with my voice, the crystal bowls, and drum was of a great assistance with passing through all the layers, and darkness that I had to face at this given time. It came to me a deeper acknowledgment of all living beings, visible and invisible, and this awakened spontaneously even deeper feelings of compassion, a need of my honoring, and being more giving.&lt;br /&gt;I could See my molecular structures rearranging, like I am transforming into a very new Being. Looking at anything, the highest vision was given to me, and I was in touch with my divine guidance. My art studio is underground, across the street from where there was before a very old cemetery, but with bodies moved to the other location. I could see so many spirits moving through my wall, and from the underground! However at this point, they were not scary for me at all, as I was centered in my heart space. Intuition guided me to find my place of power in this room, where there is an opening to the earth! A hidden portal got fully activated, and in a shaft of light I sat, meditating for a very long time..working with my breath, opening myself to the stream of information flowing through me, getting an access to an Earth's library. Ahh..how I love these states of all knowing=)!!&lt;br /&gt;Soon I was truly blessed by a visit of the radiant Eagle Spirit, together with company of other winged ones!! I could feel strongly an assistance in my healing, and I felt like the light of my Spirit is back, and I am again fully empowered. I was so fully present, so awake, discovering myself like for the very first time. Looking on my life's journey I cried from happiness. The great Eagle Spirit truly received our prayers, bringing them even higher, and gave me an insight into the New Earth, what brought a lot of inner peace, and bliss into my heart. We are re-membering and dancing again as One, celebrating life! We have so much light to share! We are overflowing with this great abundance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/U6-nuN1hMuA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-3343364767332004526?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2012/01/sacred-spirit.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/Vadj0Nkby58/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-8117411894950938545</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Nov 2011 09:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-07T03:00:59.755-07:00</atom:updated><title>Timas 23</title><description>&lt;img style="margin:0;width: 500px;" src="http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/8729/timas23web.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393382048402442322" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-8117411894950938545?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/11/timas-23.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-5382649650392029997</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Sep 2011 23:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-20T16:48:20.554-07:00</atom:updated><title>Emergence - a community activation</title><description>&lt;img style="margin:0;width: 500px;" src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6747/blog5web2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393382048402442322" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;img style="margin:0;width: 500px;" src="http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3268/blog6webemergence.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393382048402442322" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-5382649650392029997?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/09/emergence-community-activation.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-8362324127713434474</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Sep 2011 20:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-10T13:05:44.750-07:00</atom:updated><title>tonight at Solar Culture: Carla Bozulich</title><description>&lt;img style="margin:0;width: 500px;" src="http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7456/blog2webcarla.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393382048402442322" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AiRQIzmWyK8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mD3jTHMOdrU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-8362324127713434474?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/09/tonight-at-solar-culture-carla-bozulich.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/AiRQIzmWyK8/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-6948771733865413498</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Sep 2011 09:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-10T12:57:02.569-07:00</atom:updated><title>Burning Man 2011</title><description>Few days ago we came back from a very interesting adventure, our first ever Burning Man experience! &lt;br /&gt;In the dusty and vast Black Rock Desert in Nevada once a year there is created a city based on sacred geometry, a very surreal world with many different realms you can tap into, where you can have freedom of creative expression. Then it disappears without a trace, back to the dust..but impacting and inspiring everyone deeply, expanding our horizons. I felt blown away in so many ways!

&lt;br /&gt;A spiritual practice is a way of accessing the divine creativity that exists inside each one of us. 
&lt;br /&gt;It is a process of finding our own strength and balance, of celebrating, with sound and silence, the essence of who we are. To realize ourselves as authentic spiritual beings takes a lot of physical and emotional stamina. We must be willing to face our fears and doubts. We must work to transform any feelings of separation we may hold. We must overcome any laziness or irresponsibility that is still with us. Beneath each of these states lies enormous reservoirs of love, power and authenticity, and the ability to deeply and honestly respond to life.
&lt;br /&gt;The word ''inspire'' means to breathe. To breath in, inspiration - to fill with spirit.
&lt;br /&gt;To inspire is to be filled with breath. When we breathe deeply we are inspired, filled with the creative energy of life.
&lt;br /&gt;   - from the book by Diane Mariechild "The Inner Dance".

&lt;br /&gt; Two days ago while I was on my walk through the canyon, I encountered this beautiful dead butterfly with a broken wing. I was contemplating its journey of transformation, experience of fullness of being, and moving beyond, back to the source. I was wondering what message it brings. I placed it in a safe place, and I offered it for the tree. This particular tree is symbolizing for me a gate between realities. Passing through it I always imagine leaving behind the physical world of form, and entering into a truly magickal garden of Spirit.
&lt;br /&gt;In the next day after my return I realized that around the same time one of the greatest visionary masters Robert Venosa ascended to the higher realms, and merged with his creations..
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="margin:0;width: 500px;" src="http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/8534/venosa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393382048402442322" /&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt;He is such a great example to follow, living up to the true creative potentials, bringing down this incredible visions, and the dimensional portals. He touched the lives of many with the light of his inspiration. And this light never burns out.

The old perceptions, masks, and illusions needed to dissolve, and there was still so much of the wounded self, that needed the empowerment.. Intuitionally I knew that it is a great opportunity to do a serious self-healing session, using this energy for acceleration of the growth and development.&lt;br /&gt;I was working very intensely on my drawing while witnessing and processing anything that was arising in my mind. At some point I broke through my projections. I came back to an innocent playfulness, an infinity of the present moment, the space of the Heart. I was healing my Self with the light of every breath, opening deeper to the flow of cosmic energy.&lt;br /&gt;My soul is soaring very high through the stellar skies, exploring the new heights of creative potentials, planting the new seeds of higher visions. &lt;br /&gt;We can create truly when we relax into Being! The experience of Life itself..&lt;br /&gt;With a new found appreciation I am looking on things exactly as they are, without the need to change anything. &lt;br /&gt;I am emerging into a new reality..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-3536000180335710142?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/07/dark-moon-medicine.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/TcQ4Ix22ylA/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-923710414525950500</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Jul 2011 08:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-24T05:29:55.410-07:00</atom:updated><title>Stellar Vistas</title><description>&lt;img style="margin:0;width: 500px;" src="http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4797/39674420581837889648132.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393382048402442322" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Last night I had very intense dream visions where I was gaining a new perspectives.. drifting somewhere in a deep space, in the state of ave, I am observing this amazing colourful stellar scapes. I feel like I am reborn into a new world. &lt;br /&gt;I have still a memory of this extraterrestrial being looking inside of my body, scanning it, and telepathically communicating to me that I have all experiences designed for me to look deeper within, to see the Truth. &lt;br /&gt; In recent time my love for astral space traveling with sound expanded unimaginably, and exploring of the cosmic awareness became my huge passion. Diving deeper into NLP I also trained myself in these directions in many different ways. I am applying hypno-peripheral processing technologies and binaural beats. So at my drawing sessions, going deeper into the present moment and relaxation, I am going into a trance states, where I am often bilocating my mind, learning different things, and perfecting my skills at the same time. &lt;br /&gt; Simultaneously I am waking up more to my role as a priestess of the Great Mother, the Rainbow Serpent Goddess.&lt;br /&gt;I am bridging the worlds, on my way of return into a free flow. Merkaba meditation and Unity Breath are very useful tools.&lt;br /&gt;Recently I got really hooked on Qigong practice. This is just another way of working with the life force energy, enriching all other ways. I am becoming more and more sensitive with each session, I learn how to run and direct energy, heal myself and heal the others, and how to ground myself more effectively. &lt;br /&gt;I am waking up on so many new different levels as conscious co-creator of my reality. Today it was for me a powerful day, when I was exploring the unknown territories. Going beyond my comfort zone, I pushed myself beyond my fears, with the intention of growth. I feel like I just slipped into a new awareness, into a new world, where I can be myself more freely. Staying in a higher frequency, I was untouched by all the madness happening around me, I just simply missed it all, and I wasn't pulled by it down. I am also making more space for listening, so I am tapping better into the stream of consciousness, where I am able to respond objectively, beyond automatic reaction.&lt;br /&gt;Being an artist it isn't all, it is just one part of our birthright.. all different ways that we learn how to release and transform energies through using them creatively. But we have to remember that it is not so much about doing, but being and experiencing.. that the base for everything it is our work with invisible in this very present moment. Weaving our destinies with our every expression, we create, and destroy. And the end it is just a beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="580" height="465" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uSg107t7ccs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-923710414525950500?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/07/stellar-vistas.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/uSg107t7ccs/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-6731552088859890332</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Jul 2011 22:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-17T15:49:55.382-07:00</atom:updated><title>Louria</title><description>Always since I've met Louria I was thinking that I would love to photograph, paint or draw her!

It was very refreshing experience making me to appreciate the desert world where I live so much deeper, also getting me even more motivated and inspired. It was an interesting journey on many levels. From one side we were in this big polluted by modern technology and overpopulated cities, but offering for us a great mind expanding experience of some of the greatest art and culture. At the same time I was reading a book by Drunvalo Melchizedek called Serpent of Light, so I was traveling with my mind all over the sacred sites, moving with the Earth's kundalini energy.&lt;br /&gt;I feel like born again, overflowing with divine inspiration, and very excited about what is to come!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TKkJgj2IWkE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt; (...) Dreamer is about to wake up and realize that it is dreaming. Even more importantly, the Dream itself of living on this planet can now be changed. This is the key!&lt;br /&gt;Dream is really only light and intention. The portal to the 4D will begin to open wide for those who know. It means that we are out of time. We must really take responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, and emotions now. For each one of us is the Dreamer. And what we dream will become real in this world.

I finally finished painting of my new studio space, I moved some of my art and other things in, and I did some cleansing, setting up my intent. I want this room to be a sacred healing space for ritual and creation, a hall of excellence, a portal to the other dimensions. In the very first day one internationally renowned healer and drummer wanted to use this space for an individual healing sessions. First session he did with me, with divination, and drumming over my body, into my heart chakra, igniting also all other energy centers, blasting them open. The healing sessions lasted here by the three days, and I feel like through this energies happening here my space was greatly blessed.&lt;br /&gt;In other days in our other building in Arches, in the space called Galactic Center, the same man was hosting his workshops, teaching about the rhythms of elements, divination, healing, traveling between worlds, and other shamanic techniques from the ancient traditions of african Dagara tribe. I feel like I did some progress with my drumming abilities, getting some of the nice fundamentals to work with. Now I only need to practice, to master each element, and from there I can expand further in all directions, playing freely from my heart. I also did learn some of the very important fundamentals about traveling between worlds. Before my problem was that I didn't had enough of protection. Now I travel to my power spot in nature, where the protection is created, and from there I am safe to move to the lower and upper worlds. So really what happened it is the deeper clarification of the process. When I am in the middle world, in my power spot, I am incorporating here my merkaba practice and unity breath meditation, also meeting with the spirits living there. One of my guides here is the rainbow winged serpent. I saw it in one of my visions while meditating there, and also I encountered this being once in 3D. The rainbow serpent, swallowing a bat, with wings on the both sides of the mouth! Traveling to this sacred cave I see myself sitting in a half lotus position, holding my staff, the caduceus wand. It is also a dimension when I communicate with a tree and rock people. Traveling to the lower worlds I travel to the center of the Earth, to the Earth's library, where I can access all the knowledge, and to communicate with ancestral spirits. Often I find myself emerging into a deep waters, and swimming with whales, and other creatures. Traveling to the upper worlds I like to travel into space, and other planets, also to my inner sanctuary that I've been creating and expanding for a while. It is also time to commune with the highest guides, and angelic beings. &lt;br /&gt; Right now we are in Philadelphia on our East Coast adventure that will last 2 weeks. We are going to visit also New York and New Jersey shore. It is a good opportunity to break old patterns! Definitely we are going back to a Metropolitan Art Museum for more inspiration from the old masters=)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-1105756609801329011?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/06/creating-sacred-space.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-8269756487185048649</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-08T02:51:30.211-07:00</atom:updated><title>Burning Fingers</title><description>We just had here exchange of the whole exposition in our gallery. The ALIGNMENT is our team. For me personally it means deeper aligning with my higher self, and my life's purpose.. moving on..beyond the duality &amp; old beliefs.. waking up to our hidden creative potentials, and activation of our forgotten light body vehicles. Waking up to Truth. Waking up into the present moment. Becoming a pure channel, embodying the Spirit, and expressing it more freely creatively in many ways.&lt;br /&gt;This time we got the most of art than ever, and  we were worried that there will be not enough of space. We filled our gallery up to the ceiling with creations of over 150 of local artists. So through the whole week I had practically to forget about my all other work, and give a lot of my energy out to a community, pushing myself beyond my limits. &lt;br /&gt;It is always such a magickal process of putting all the art together..there is usually something about 300 or more pieces, one gigantic puzzle. I am totally following here my intuition and vision, also listening to the art, where it wants to go. With time I am realizing that really I create a big altar for the Goddess, and through uniting all the art there are created many deep stories. Each time we seem to grow and develop stronger, being inspired by creations of other people. It is very stimulating to live surrounded by it all every day. I feel so blessed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="width:480px;text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;embed width="480" height="360" src="http://static.pbsrc.com/flash/rss_slideshow.swf" flashvars="rssFeed=http%3A%2F%2Ffeed1221.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd474%2FAstraeir%2FAlignment%2Ffeed.rss" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/redirect/album?showShareLB=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/share/icons/embed/btn_geturs.gif" style="border:none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://s1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Astraeir/Alignment/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/share/icons/embed/btn_viewall.gif" style="border:none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; During the art show opening I had very interesting and mysterious connections with some people. One of them was connecting me to some very special crystals that are linked with two different sacred temples/chambers, and he did read my energy through looking at me. Another man was playing so beautifully his harp in front of our building, so I sat next to him. He put his instrument next to my right ear, then to the left, filling my both hemispheres with celestial harmonies. I mentioned that I also have a similar harp that I'm starting to play, so he wanted to look at it. He did some really nice tuning to it!&lt;br /&gt; I was so exhausted after the whole week so I decided that in Sunday I will do NoThing. It turned to be one of the most creative days of my life! I had this very lucid dream where I was walking the path of infinity, and it was literally a path in an eternity symbol shape. I was walking through many realities, seeing them in a great detail, and I was finding new ways. In my waking life I am admiring work of Robert Venosa and Martina Hoffman, and in this dream I saw them and I had this knowing that I was following their foot steps walking this path. My day began from doing hundreds of photos of our new exposition. Then we hooked up our sound system, and microphone, and I sat on the stage with my harp and a crystal bowl, and I started playing. I was playing until I had blisters on almost every finger, and I felt like I took skin out of my fingertips! It was so painful..&lt;br /&gt;I went downstairs to my studio, and despite the pain, I still wanted to play...after a while I felt like my fingers were on fire and burning, but thank's to that I could sense flow of the energy so much stronger..&lt;br /&gt;After experience of harp playing I felt like the strings of my soul got tuned, and that a great healing occurred deep within me.&lt;br /&gt;I felt like it affects my ability to hear music, and my free flow dance movement.  I went into a meditation, opening my heart to an universal love. To be able to do that I had to face my darkness first, all that needed to be faced at this time to become later transformed. After a while I found myself in a great creative flow..creativity overflowing me. I was bathed in the light that flew through my body and my heart to my burning fingertips. &lt;br /&gt;I am right now working on a new artwork for Esoteric, so I had a great opportunity to be really able to see the sound with my inner eye, to open up into visions that this music brings to me. I feel like through this work I got a really powerful force to handle, because in order to really get to it deeply, I have here to learn how to ride this energies. &lt;br /&gt;I went in this day through a huge transformation on so many levels.. I actually feel like I reinvented my whole body, my whole system, I jumped myself dimensionally.. I was able to open successfully my chakras, to awaken my light body, and my hidden potentials. Life gets more and more exciting with this whole acceleration, and continues to expand. I am taking my power back, and I open myself into my natural radiance. I am tuning in..;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="580" height="465" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/t2y_p-e1pbQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-8269756487185048649?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/06/burning-fingers.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/t2y_p-e1pbQ/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-3612609268656395314</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 May 2011 10:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-26T01:41:07.634-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">solar culture</category><title>Alignment</title><description>&lt;img style="margin:0;width: 500px;" src="http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/8932/showyourart.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393382048402442322" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

All this different strange things were happening for people I know that seemed as very unusual. The perspective of passing through this day seemed as quite a challenging task. In one day we had two different events happening in two buildings. In the new temple space that we are creating in the Arches building we had a very interesting lecture with Jade Sol Luna on Asterian Astrology, in Solar Culture Gallery we had a concert with three bands, and we had to prepare food for everyone. The seminar with Jade was very fascinating, and opening us up into the new realities. The old ground suddenly was took away from under our feet, and a new world was shown. I feel like I learned so much of new things about myself! According to Asterian system my palace is Nomius. Ahh! Now I understand my connection with Thoth as he governs this sign! This also connects me to an elephant animal spirit..it is interesting to me that I placed an elephant on one of my main altars! It is right above my head when I am sitting here writing this message. Nomius is very nurturing, amongst other characteristics, like for example being very spiritual, artistic, creative, loving humanity.. and tonight while I was showing for Jade one of my recent videos that I made in homage for the Goddess, I realized deeper how I am constantly connecting with the archetype of a nurturing mother. For me ~ going beyond the role of being an actual mother by myself, and instead ~ directing my creative energy towards birthing new arts, and having my disconnection with my earthly mother, I see myself reaching beyond, connecting with the Great Cosmic Mother, the higher force. In this lifetime I was doing it more consciously intentionally since the very first time when she embraced me with Her unconditional infinite love, and when she opened up my heart. This happened when I went by myself to Nature, to an old forest, and I merged with all. &lt;br /&gt;"Nomius, as the final Palace, synthesizes and absorbs the mysteries of the previous Palace. This knowledge is portrayed here by an all seeing eye. This symbol also contains two fish, representing the Sign of Pisces and the soul's journey after death."&lt;br /&gt;That's also a very interesting thing to relate to as my current piece in progress where I am channeling my higher self, there this symbol appears, like coming from an opening of the pineal gland, and above..there are my staff! - the Caduceus!&lt;br /&gt;Later I showed for Jade my astrological chart, and he is saying that I am also a double wolf! ..and the spirit of wolf has shown itself to me in my dream last night! it came from the unconscious of my mind;)..&lt;br /&gt;I see a wolf in me definitely and I am realizing this deeper now..&lt;br /&gt;Exactly at this night the moon is in the wolf sign ~ the Typhon Palace!&lt;br /&gt;Typhon's theme speaking generally is growth and renewal through chaos and turbulence.&lt;br /&gt;I am also relating deeply to soul's journey after death, I am Hagazussa dancing on the edge, traveling often beyond the veil.&lt;br /&gt;I travel there to gain knowledge so I can bring it back to the earth, for visions, and guidance..to connect with my higher self, and to heal myself. Seeing myself as a Typhon I can understand deeper my attraction towards working with the darkness, my role of bridging the worlds. &lt;br /&gt; Today I also finished a new video where I used some of my digital arts and nature photography. I was very inspired to work with music of Kit Watkins this time, I love his album Skyzone so much! &lt;br /&gt;The sound evoked the images where I was mostly focusing on invisible works of Nature, my studies of the flow of the divine life force energy, visions that I see, and encounters with the nature spirits, entities..&lt;br /&gt;It is journey inward, and everything it is sound constantly evolving..&lt;br /&gt;In the Nature we are finding our True Self when we go beyond our little egos and we merge with All.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yW_n_PLi63Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-728132898478485587?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/04/skyzone.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/yW_n_PLi63Y/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657320137282706264.post-4203203305855535052</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Apr 2011 19:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-26T01:42:52.718-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">video</category><title>1000 Names of the Divine Mother</title><description>From a long time I wanted to create something for this sacred devotional song that I adore!&lt;br /&gt;

Afterwards I was guided straight to a solution!=)&lt;br /&gt;Though still youtube is distorting it, I think I will have to move on to vimeo with my future work..&lt;br /&gt;especially as I have also in plans to make a better use of my hd video camera!&lt;br /&gt;well..still, I hope you will enjoy it!;) &lt;br /&gt;For me this music and art are about reactivation of the ancient memories, traveling within to the essence of our true Self, exploring divine creative potentials..projection of the ancient future..&lt;br /&gt;..and so much more beyond what I am able to express in words!&lt;br /&gt;I think my visions and music that I choose to work with are speaking for themselves on much deeper levels~~;)..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="600" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/l1A10aO8NZ8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7657320137282706264-5241614321493224528?l=astraeir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://astraeir.blogspot.com/2011/03/spectra.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Kati Astraeir)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/l1A10aO8NZ8/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
