NURIASANA

The Fort of Jaisalmer keeps the secret of the best Rajhastani Chutney

2022-01-19T13:49:00.202-08:00

The Golden City of Rajasthan,
next to the That Desert and,

the incredible and magical Pakistan.

The City extends in a beautiful appearance of sand color

houses, Jain Temples, crowned by the Ancient Fort.

In North India high quality plum is being grown in hilly area

of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashinir, Uttrakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

In the plains low chilling requiring plum cultivars are cultivated

throughout Punjab, Haryana and in some parts of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan

Plum fruit is rich in Vitamin A, B, (Thiamine), riboflavin and

some minerals like calcium, phosphorus and iron.

The well blended acidity with sugars is helpful in the preparation of jams and squashes.
The dried plums are known as prunes.

All plum cultivar cannot be used for drying,

that is why it said “all plums are not prunes but all prunes are plums.”

The prunes have great Ayurvedic medicinal value.

Plum prefers temperate climate. However,

it has been found growing from higher hills in Srinagar to Jaipur in Rajasthan and

areas around Delhi. It requires less chilling hours that is temperature below 7.2°C.

It can tolerate frost and high summers both,

that is why it can be cultivated in both low temperature

to 0°C and up, highest up to 47°C in summers.

It was 15th of August and it was extremely hot,

nevertheless our experience in India had already taught us

that spice hot food is a better remedy for heat that actually cold

salad, helping the body to regulate itself temperature.

The incredible beauty of the night in the desert with a full Moon,

riding camels in the dunes in our way close to the border with Pakistan;

music, teas and the most incredible dinner with the richest and most flavor

Prune Chutney I had ever try before.

We were so lucky because our cooks were traveling with us to this adventure in

the desert so I could ask them the recipe, I have repeat it and gifted to friends and

family for the Ayurvedic properties of the spices in it and for the pleasure to add it to

a garlic Naam or your favorite Daal.

11:11 THE E.L.F EXPERIMENT: Building a counterculture Utopia in Amsterdam

2021-11-11T23:31:00.060-08:00

22 years have past by,

hundreds of people lived at the Building

but no one has really written about the experience

outside of the Family,

I have briefly found two articles

in the psychedelic trance scene magazines

explaining the structure of the E.L.F ;

today I feel the veils are thin enough to share what it was

and how it felt to live at the biggest Artist-conscious

squat that have ever existed.

What was the E.L.F ?

The E.L.F ( "elf" means 11 in German and Dutch) was a dream,

a squatted building, occupied by a group of people

that were determined to set an initiative,

an experiment, in positive squatting.

The place we occupied was a 5 floors,

200 rooms office building ( ex-Belgian Embassy)

on the border of Amsterdam Center,

with elevators, sliding doors, a fancy reception,

over 20 outlets of power and internet in each room,

flat roof, a big space on the top floor to throw trance psychedelic parties.

It was a very high end building with a very high end purpose.

The E.L.F was an Art Show in every single corner,

walls, or windows:

Tibetan Thangkas were hanging on the lobby walls

by the reception of the first floor,

Mayan Glyphs paintings in the Hallways

and the psychedelic Backdrops in the stairs to the upper floors and

in the walls of the Sky Lab for parties and events.

You could feel how they changed the intensity of their colors,

becoming more alive or neutral depending on

what was happening around them,

as if they were alive,

breathing and blending their symbology with the ether,

the Essence of the Building.

The first and second floor were for temporal visitors,
who will pay per day and only could stay at the house

if they were taking any of the workshops for a maximum of 11 days.

The workshops offered were diverse:

from Glass blowing to Dj, creative writing, painting, 3D designing,

Sound Healing, fashion design,

Tattoos, Sacred Floral Art, Feng Shui, Buttho.

The rotation of guests in the House was constant and from all over the World:

Japan, Israel, New Zealand, India, Italy, South Africa….

Djs, musicians, cirques performers, scientists, dancers, writers, philosophers,

everyone was welcome and supported.

This flow and ebb of people and energies was so rich and attracting,

that more and more people wanted to experience the E.L.F.

There was a vegan restaurant in the first floor,

run by the members or volunteers,

where people paid what they could/want afford

to into a Magic Hat,

out of which the shopping was paid for the next day,

the love and creativity on each one of the meals

was an exploration of different parts of the world,

brought to the table by the international cooks.

I think I have had some of the most incredible dinners

in my life at the E.L.F,

not only for the magical backdrop created by the lights, art,

music and the exuberant diners,

but because of the genuine recipes from around the world,

transmitted through generations and alchemized

in the hands of these Angels,

brought to the magical and intense vortex of the biggest

Artist Squat that ever existed.

A lot of the inspiration behind my recipes

have the flavor from this time at the E>L>F,

every night we had the opportunity to experience

a different vegetarian country speciality.

Dinners were a magical moment,

gathering the energy to project into the upcoming events,

fueling the members with the Prana, the nectar, the Amrit

of the project energy for a 24 hours of non stop music,

live performances and open mics.

The Kitchen was always alive,

after dinner time you still could find someone

offering a cup of tea to a brother or sister

over a profound conversation about the Bardo

or the last technology for mixing and djing.

The breakfast was exclusive for the residents,

another opportunity to crystalize the common vision of the project;

lavender teas slowly simmering in the stoves, granolas,

fruit, yoghurts, coffee, breads and jams,

the sweet flowing wave of the beginning of the day,

the smell of the different essential oils,

the yogi tea boiling to be sip at any time.

Mandala

The 3rd floor was were my room was and where

the permanent residents and residents’s guest lived,

the heart and brain of the project ( E.L.F House).

Every single room was a completely different Entity,

expression and mosaic of dreams and music,

music in every corner, all sort of, but mainly psychedelic trance.

A big Mandala was at the end of the corridor on the 3rd floor,

huge, big, powerful Mandala on golden and red.

Every night different members of the House will stop and paint,

talk to Bob who was the keeper of the communal Art, exploring

into the geometrical sacred healing power of the painting.

As everything else in the House, the Mandala was a living organism,

with its own needs of expansion/creation and love,

as it was getting more and more complex,

the intensity of its frequency was notable from every corner in the house.

It will sooth you in sovereignty with the broad range of ochres:

amber, gold, siena, mustard and radiant colors;

Invitation for a deep meditation through the intricate geometrical symbolism.

Sometimes the corridors were empty, as letting them space to rebirth;

on those moments you could feel the Building as a Spaceship, breathing,

moving and getting its power from the crew;

resonating with them,

modifying its colors and shape depending on the general mood.

Psychedelic Backdrop

The 4th floor of the building was occupied by the different religions,

cults and yoga schools in the House:

Buddhism, Kundalini, Hinduism, Osho, Ayahuasca Church

were the most significant, with their priests or Shamans.

Rituals where organized for big groups of people to gather together,

sing and talk to spirits.

Psychedelic Backdrop

The 5th floor was home of the Chai-shop social nexus of the House,

perfect spot to catch the sunset after a delicious dinner,

a giant floor with pillows, tapestries and murals overhead;

homemade snacks,

all kind of teas and non-alcoholic elixirs;

a variety of Charas from India and House grown marihuana,

music : from jazz to dubstep, euro techno to drum and bass or hip-hop.

At the 5th floor was also the Sky-Lab,

a huge space across the Chai Shop surrounded by windows

and decorated with a variety of psychedelic backdrops,

where 24-hours fat parties were held on regular basis

to pay the over 10.000 euros a month on bills.

3 months after the opening,

the owners of the building took the squatters to court.

The owners won and the squatters were convicted

to have to leave the building within a month.

The squatters refused to go and stayed for 2, 5 more years

before finally being thrown out and the building demolish.

In order to do this possible and stayed that long,

not only paying the monthly bills was necessary,

an official body was essentially needed to carry those bills,

preferably a Foundation:

a non-profit organization with a good purpose as its official goal,

after many months thinking what this goal should be,

the manifest for the Foundation was created and 22 residents co-signed it.

THE E.L.F FOUNDATION: What is The E.L.F?

E. is for Exploration, is why we do it;

L. is for Love & Light, is what we do it with;

F. is for filaments and Frequencies, is how we spread it;

E.L.F. is for Eternal Light Family, which is who we are all part of.

Goal: The goal of foundation E.L.F is to explore and, where possible,

to evolve the spreading of the energies of love and light

between living beings through filaments and frequencies.

All over the universe of human reality we can recognize forces

of light and forces of darkness.

The forces of light are regarded as forces

that positively stimulate human beings,

that raise the consciousness and awareness of humans

to evolve and realize their potential.

In the same perspective, the forces of darkness

are regarded as forces that negatively stimulate human beings,

that lower the consciousness and awareness and obstruct evolution,

preventing human beings from realizing their potential.

The energies of light are closely connected to the energies of love and courage.

Like wise, the energies of darkness are closely connected

with the energies of hate and fear.

In many places throughout the world,

groups of individuals are joining forces to work together to attract,

accumulate and spread the energies of love and light throughout the world.

E.L.F. seeks to connect people

that have recognized the forces of light and darkness

in themselves and the world around them and have chosen to go for the light.

To maximize the love and the light in everything they do,

and to minimize the darkness and hate in their lives,

as well as the lives of other living beings.

E. L. F. wishes to encourage and stimulate individuals and

groups to get together and,

to explore this so-called light to work with it,

grow it and to share it with others.

E. L. F.'s mission is to spread the realization

that the energies of love and light can be utilized by human beings

and that these energies can be generated, transformed and directed.

That human individuals can show people that they can learn to use these energies

to heal and evolve themselves and others,

while at the same time,

diminishing the energies of darkness and hate

which work damages and destroys ourselves and others.

E.L.F. foundation seeks to form itself as a noncommercial,

nonpolitical, nonreligious organization.

A"not for profit foundation".

Being founded in what is regarded by some as the magical centre of Europe,

the city of Amsterdam, E.L.F. will develop itself as a global organization.

Activities: E. L. F. will offer its facilities and,

assist in any activity that is regarded as helpful to realize the goal of the foundation.

This can mean to (co) organize meetings and workshops;

to develop research and training programs,

to do or join Love and/or Light-parties, projects and all kinds of other activities.

The common characteristic of all these activities

is that they bring more love and light into the lives of people and,

other creatures in this world.

Participants in the E.L.F foundation are invited and,

encouraged to bring in ideas and proposals.

These suggestions will be taken under consideration

by the foundation management and the determination

of which activities are to be supported by E. L. F.,

will be made by the foundation management in close cooperation with its members.

And so The E>L>F was created,

what followed after, that was a new-age saga of love and light,

but also hate and darkness and what not….

The E.L.F was running in a non-commercial basis,

still being able to put money aside to,

who knows maybe to buy a building in the future

so they will not be evicted anymore,

the House attracted people from all over the world and ,

every day gain popularity in the underground scene in Europe, and Worldwide.

The House was completely heated and,

there was always enough money to feed and offer accommodation

to a group of 20 volunteers that will help keep the space

clean and with a good high energy.

I came to live to the E.L.F in January 1999,

after living in Amsterdam for 4 months

renting different houses in a variety of neighborhoods,

I used to visit the E.L.F almost every day after my job

in one of the most popular Coffeeshops in the center of Amsterdam:

the Green House CoffeeShop, at the Red Light District.

Stayed at the E.L.F most of the weekends to attend

the big parties and House Events.

Many of my friends were already living here or better said,

I became friend with many of the residents.

I was invited to all the parties to help out with production or PR,

me working in the center of Amsterdam was a great opportunity

to spread the word of the events happening to all locals and tourists.

After 2 months, two of the permanent residents at the E.LF

invited me to move in permanently.

At the beginning I felt a little overwhelmed,

I have never been very good with commitments,

and I knew that moving in

to the E.L.F was a big step into becoming part of a huge project.

5 months after I moved in, the Foundation was created

and I was one of the 22 co-signers,

after that.

I loved the Experiment, truly felt a profound belonging since day one,

I had just graduated in Political Sciences the year I moved to Amsterdam,

It was my "sabbatical" year, as I explained to my parents,

a time to travel and explore options and opportunities,

decompress from studies and get new experiences,

if I hadn't had quite enough already...

Deep rooted in the pacifist movement

in Spain (Insumision) during my first 2 years of college:

fasting, demonstrating, and executing civil disobedience

against the imposed military service;

writing manifests inspired by Castaneda,

hand to hand with the Libertarians from Latin America,

American authors like Henry Thoreau and the European

humanist school.

The E>L>F resonated as a totem for a new founded family,

it represented the highest ideas and dreams I could imagine at

that time, an utopia of counterculture, living with friends,

with some of the smartest kids I have ever met,

Phd's in Harvard or Yale,

speaking four of five languages, playing different instruments and

living in a constant flow of creativity, with one common passion:

sound and music, creation of space through music: psychedelic trance.

Still today when I explain to friends about this passion and,

profound Believe in the healing of this type of music,

they think I lost it completely with so many psychedelics,

the truth is that I can even read and write while

listening to it, it calms me down when I need to

or energize me if this is my purpose,

it is a vehicle to move the energy in the body,

massage the grey matter in the brain and expand the cells in my body.

Trying to explain the E>L>F from inside

to someone who has not live the experience without

a visual support it is a difficult endeavor.

I see it as a White Hole that could not be entered from

the outside but that emanates light and energy-matter.

Where the residents as tachyons,

could communicate backwards in time, sending

signals into one's own past and project into the future,

as a quantum loop.

E= m2, but what if there is no mass?

if you jiggle an electron, other electrons will sense it,

the vibration of two electrons continues to resonant in the universe,

it doesn’t matter how far is one from each other,

this vibration according to Einstein:

” is faster than the speed of the light,

and has no time-space coordinate,

at this point communication with the past is possible

and modification of the paradox acceptable,

by the only self-consistent trips back in time,

which states that the only solutions to the laws of physics

that can occur locally in the real Universe,

are those which are globally self-consistent.”

This principle allows one to build a local solution

to the equations of physics only,

if that local solution can be extended to a part of a

(not necessarily unique) global solution,

which is well defined throughout the nonsingular regions

of the space-time.

The vibration in everyone’s masses in the E>L>F

through music and dance,

emanated a global resonance that called others

with the same vibrations around the Globe,

attracting them to the House to gather in one and

only communication line that can only be understood

and articulated from the inside of the frequency.

I had the perception that in the House

the coordinates of space-time were modified,

and thoughts were pretty much materialized in one or other way;

the connection between the residents in the house was so deep

and the vortex of the house so intense,

that only by thinking on someone

will probably open the door and get into the room,

it was telekinesis? self- fulfilling the prophecy?

The ELF became a Cult,

not only in the psychedelic trance movement in the World,

but also in the International Underground Scene.

But there is no light without dark, and no good time without the bad,

House Meetings turned into heated discussions many times,

impossible to move forward with new ideas or projects for the

House.

Some people never left the building in months,

which it was very easy considering there was everything you

need, developing a specific mood and personality;

for everyone who lived and experienced the ELF,

I think will

agreed with me that it was a transformative experience,

not only from a sociological point of view, but because

what was created had never existed before and could not be replicated.

At the culmination of the experiment,

the building was inhabited by over 200 people of 27 different countries,

living in a global community.

A trans-cultural unity.
An alternative to the so-called official society.
Yes It was a Commune, yes there was sex and drugs and
as any other Human experience
you could take what was there for you to grow.

“ The Eternal Family of Light has been shattered to pieces....but not destroyed.

Many of us still continue our missions, but not as a collective no more,

but now all more separate but many still in touch.

From Australia, to India, to the US to Brazil and allover Europe,

we still spread our msg of love and light as much as we can and is possible.....

hoping that maybe someday we'll find a place like this again .“

HOW TO PREVENT JET LAG WHEN YOU ARE A TIMELINE TRAVELER

2021-01-28T10:12:00.027-08:00

At this point of the Millennium
we all are familiar with Timelines,
Quantum physics, Mandela Effect,

Smoky Mirrors and 5G.
If there is something we are grateful

for the year 2020,
is the speedy Masters Degree

on Self Awareness
we have had the opportunity to get.

What do I mean with being

a Timeline Traveler and,
how can we efficiently

mentally and physically
thrive in the quantum leap

implicated in such a Traveling?
A chronological time and space ( X-Y)

where events happen;
In the social media platforms

is a basic concept,
Imagine we create different accounts

with different profiles,
will the timelines still be the same?
A timeline as we ordinary know it,

has a beginning and an end,
What if instead of social media

we move to VR? and,
instead of creating different profiles

we have different Avatars.
These Avatars will not be subjected

to time/space vectors
because they do not exist in the 3D world

as we perceive them.

Being a timeline traveler allows you

to be in many different places

at the same time, not only that,

it gives you the power and skills

to fully live the experience of

as many avatars you are capable

to handle in the 5D world,

the more avatars you become,

the most effortless

your Human Experience will be.

VR gave us the knowledge

to understand that

the subconscious mind can

not only feel and experience

beyond the body,

but also transcend the pure intensity

of being Human and,

attached to a place or circumstance.

While your 3D body is in one vector x/y,

your mind and,

with it your experiences can be in a multiverse.

How this affect your

Body’s Internal Circadian Clock?

The Circadian Clock

is controlled by a part of the brain

called the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus ( SCN),

a group of cells in the hypothalamus

that respond to light and dark signals.

Imaging taking a plane and flying 24 hours

backwards the Earth Pole rotation,

our bodies and minds need the adjustment

to be present at the destination,

and be able to produce the healthy hormones

required to adapt,

like melatonin and serotonin,

maintaining with it homeostasis.

Homeostasis is a self regulating process

by which an organism

tends to maintain stability

while adjusting to conditions

that are best for its survival

(ei. body temperature),

it is controlled by nervous and,

endocrine systems in mammals,

referring to how a person under

conflicting stress and, motivation can

maintain a stable psychological condition.

If our bodies do not adjust to the change

of time /space -daily light/darkness

it will suffer from what commonly is called

Jet Lag.

Why timeline Traveling has a big impact

in our physical body and,

how can we prepare it safely and

efficiently to time travel

in the multiverse without Jet Lag?

The Pineal Gland is a small gland

located deep in the center of the brain.

named for its pinecone shape,

this gland secretes melatonin

(hormone of darkness),

which plays an essential role

in the body’s internal clock.

The pineal gland was one of the last

brain organs to be discovered and

has been the subject of much

mythology and speculation.

The seventeenth-century French

philosopher Rene Descartes thought

the soul was located in the pineal gland and,

by many it is called the “Third Eye” ,

the Horus Eye by the Egyptians. (400)

The most prominent symptom

of pineal gland dysfunction

is a change in circadian rhythms.

This might mean sleeping too much or too little,

feeling active and restless in the middle of the night,

or feeling sleepy at unusual times.

BREAKFAST'S PARTIES IN LEIPZIG : VEGAN/GLUTEN-FREE COOKIES

2020-04-26T22:41:00.009-07:00

Saint Nicholas Church

Only five years after the Fall of the Wall,

Leipzig was a super lively, cultural,
East Germany's historical city.

I could have chosen many other places

to go to study my Erasmus year:
Milan, Lisbon, I even passed for Paris,

but not, I choose Leipzig for my
fourth-year degree in Political Science.

Leipzig was a key player for the peaceful demonstrations
that brought the East German Government to an end.
Starting every Monday in October 1989 at St.Nicholas Church
became the most prominent mass protest in East Germany.

I was living at a brand new Student Residency,

not far from the International Universität of Leipzig and,

the Monument to the Battle of the Nations.

Monument to the Battle of the Nations

Literally, I was surrounded mostly

by French and American students,
a German and a Russian roommate,

one of the best years
in my life :-)

My neighbor across the corridor was a blonde,

classmate from Aix a Provence
who started a tradition of Breakfast's Parties

on Saturday Mornings, with a display
of his talent as pancake's Chef,

people were arriving for two hours and,

he was just happily cooking pancakes for everybody,

serving coffee and teas,
every guest, of course, will bring something:
Nutella, jams, butter, milk, cakes, cookies,

different kinds of honey, berries, fruits,
specialties from different countries

as baklavas or Turkish delights.

And from this Breakfast's Parties and,

INDIAN COCONUT CHICKPEA CURRY FROM THE TANTRIC TEMPLES OF KHAJURAHO

2020-04-24T23:31:00.004-07:00

Arriving at the Temples of Khajuraho

is one of those Indiana Jone's moments
in any traveler's life, when the jungle opens up and,
you start to see the most beautiful constructions in white,
the intricate carvings in the facades

inviting you to imagine why,
and with what purpose these temples were built.
What we can distinguish is a worship of the feminine power
with women so openly and so freely enjoying sexual pleasures.

Khajuraho is almost a day road trip from Agra,

with the well-known Asian's traffic,
incredible summer heat and hundreds of monkeys

welcoming you as you arrive
to the parking lot,

chasing you to steal anything glowing you carry
or any food you might be thinking of not sharing with them.

The entire site is so peaceful, green and mysterious,
that you could spend a week just to get an idea

of the 25 different temples.

After this powerful and unforgettable experience

came one of the best parts of any trip: dinner!!

What is sexier than a coconut curry

with the most delicate jasmine rice? yum yum

MAROCCAN ROASTED CARROT HARISSA DIP: FROM OUARZAZATE TRIBE

2020-04-23T13:43:00.001-07:00

It was the end of Season in Ibiza,

after an incredible 6 months in the Island

not missing a single sunset at Benirras,
my friend Giacomo and I took a trip to Marocco

with a van we bought
in Belgian and fixed for the occasion,
I always wanted to experience a nomadic life and,
this manifestation took me on a 5 years journey.

How did we end up so far south in Marocco?
As we were leaving Marrakesh we met an
English Dj who was heading south

to a Trance Tribe Gathering
for New Year's Eve in Ouarzazate,
and asked us for a ride.

Of course, we took him as a new trip companion since
we actually knew the event's organizers,
Ministry of Sound crew

from Amsterdam and Ibiza; not only that,
it was 1999 the end of a century and,
for many the end of the World at least as we Knew it :-))

It was Ramadan,

so going to streets markets and shopping

was a beautiful gift to get to understand better

the intricate culture, stands full of eggplants, oranges,
figs, dates and beautiful carrots and lemons,
bulks of spices everywhere like a pituitary gland big Fest !!!
this recipe was part of this moment:

Moroccan Roasted Carrot Dip w/Harissa ( Vegan/ Gluten-Free)

MEATLESS MEATBALLS WITH GRANDMA'S SAUCE: FROM TUSCANY WITH LOVE

2020-04-22T23:59:00.001-07:00

The inspiration when you travel many times
leans in the incredible food that you eat,
the markets you visit, the stops on the road to grab a bite
and, letting your self surprise for the unknown of the culinary
in the specific geographic area, you are traveling.

When we think about Italy the first thing that comes to our minds are
pizzas, pasta, incredible fresh vegetables, cheeses, basil, and fennel,
all of it in great abundance.

I lived and traveled in Italy for over 3 years and every single time
eating was a heavenly experience from the simplest margarita pizza slice in Sorano,
to the most refined parmigiana eggplant in La Piazza San Marcos in Venice.

Visiting markets around Italy is a free show of extravaganza:

colors, smell, people yelling to each other just for the fun of being Italian :- ))

Tomatoes and basil became my lovers, could not leave a market without them and
an incredible fresh bunch of parsley, and of course a good piece of parmesan cheese
at least 24 months aged.

When I started to cook vegetarian I replicated the best recipes I had from many trips
and adventures around the Globe, and Meatless Meatballs was an indispensable recipe to
share, especially the tomatoes sauce from my Grandma's friend in Tuscany

Servings: 3-4 Prep Time:10 minutes Ready In: 25 min

Meatless Meatballs ( Vegan/ Gluten-Free)

15 oz.Black Beans ( 1 can rinse)
1 Cup Oat Flour ( oats ground up)
If you do not have the flour I use the food processor to make it with the Rolled Oats.
1 Cup Rolled oats
1 1/2 tbsp Flax Seeds
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1tsp Garlic Powder ( I love to use fresh garlic :-))
1 tsp Onion Powder ( fresh works as well)
1 Tbsp Tomato Sauce

Parsley for topping

Tomato Sauce

2 lbs tomatoes
1 sweet onion (medium size).
4 garlic gloves
2 gala apples
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
salt
pepper
Fresh Basil

Meatless Meatballs
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F ( I prefer to bake them, healthier! )

Step 2:
Mix Flaxseed and Oats in the food processor and pulse them, until you get a chunky powder.
Set in a bowl aside.

Step 3:
Drain the black beans, rinse them with water,
add to the food processor with some water,
pulse until smooth.

Step 4:
Combine your oats/flaxseeds blended, with the seasonings,
tomato purée, and blended beans. Mix and let rest dor 10 minutes.

Step 5:
Portion out 1 in. scoop balls and bake for 6-8 minutes.

Tomato Sauce

Step 1:
Add the Olive oil to a medium pot and heat slowly, add the chopped garlic and onion

Step 2:
When the garlic and onions start to smell incredible and turn yellow add the apples cut in cubes,
the tomatoes cut indices and add the salt and pepper.

Step 3:
Mix all well with a wooden spoon and let it simmer for 20/30 minutes,
make sure the tomatoes gave enough juice to the mix if it is too dry you might
pour a half a cup of water to start with and adjust as it starts to boil.

Step 4:
Add the fresh basil and let it cook with the rest of the ingredients for 3 minutes.

Step 5:
Let it cool down for about 20 minutes before you blend the sauce.

Step 6:

EGYPT: PYRAMIDS SOUND TECHNOLOGY CHAMBERS

2020-04-22T20:53:00.000-07:00

So many theories are found around how the pyramids were built and why for,
how was possible that in times where there was not enough engineering
to execute those incredible masterpieces,
we still have the opportunity to visit and admire them.
Recently studies have shown a different approach to the pyramids,
not as burial monuments but as sound healing chambers,
the quartz-granite slabs found in some chambers were not meant as a sarcophagus,
but were meant for people to lie in as they absorbed the healing power
of the particular frequency that the chambers resonated.

Sound chambers like the ones found in the red pyramid,
are designed exactly like modern-day acoustic chambers
that sound therapists use today.

Ancient civilizations hold the belief that the Earth as an entity has its own frequency,
this frequency is 1.5Hz.

Diverse new technologies have incorporated fractal patterning for signal enhancement,
data compression, and encryption.
Recent acoustic resonance experiments have illuminated a connection
between the phi ratio and a nonlinear acoustic standing wave structure.

Multifrequency driving off the resonant cavity has been used
to increase energy storing.

If the energy is coupled to lower frequencies or subharmonics,
less acoustic dissipation is observed allowing for a more efficient system.

The high-amplitude transduction of the piezoelectric limestone of the pyramids
creates an electromagnetic field around the structures,
becoming the movement of electrons toroidal.

Space/time can be altered by putting mass inside a dynamic EM field
created by two pulsed, DC, toroidal coils that act as a "flux capacitor"
( Faraday's dream).

The currents flow in one direction in each coil but are separated by a timing/vector
factor so that they do not interfere with each other.
The timing of the pulses allows the current to create an apparently perfect inductor
with zero resistance (although it is not truly zero since it does radiate energy).
This occurs when the field is "pumped up" so,
that the energy density of the space inside the field is much greater than,
that of normal space here on the Earth's surface.

The higher the energy density the more time is dilated so that time in the field
occurs at a slower rate to that outside the field.
If the energy density is lowered then the converse is true.
An hour in the field of higher density might be a few days outside the field.
This is because time is measured as a ratio of lengths.

Time has no real dimension when comparing energy density states.

It becomes relativistic... a ratio.

We compare distances traveled (whether linear, curved or angular)
to establish "time" units.
A second can be related to distances traveled by a pendulum,
a vibrating crystal or even a decaying atomic structure -
but they are all relative distances when one compares them as time.

Time is a pure ratio of lengths in the relativistic mass-length-time ( MLT) system.
One can theoretically transcend the "light barrier" by using asymmetric propulsion concepts.

The base length of the Great Pyramid informs the fundamental resonant tone
created by the structures.
Each base side of the pyramids has roughly been calculated at 760’,
creating a fundamental frequency of about 1.5 Hz when
the pyramids are stimulated into high amplitude.
This baseline frequency of 1.5 Hz shown to synchronize the pulsation
of the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary gland into unified functioning.

This frequency is also the lowest frequency of Schumann Resonance,
thus the function of the pyramids may indeed
be to shift the fundamental frequency of the Earth down
from its fluctuations near 7.3 Hz to the try-thalamic frequency of 1.5 Hz.

More extraordinary still is the discovery that the rock-cut Dead-end Passage,
inside the structure’s enigmatic Subterranean Chamber
might well have functioned as a sound resonance tube,
generating infrasound with a base frequency in the range of 5 Hz.

It has long been known that infrasound affects the human brain in a number of different ways.
It can induce feelings of nausea, anxiety, paranoia, as well as a sense of dread.
In more sensitive individuals this can lead to a feeling of disconnection with the material world,
accompanied by a very real sense of otherworldliness

Although there seems little question that infrasound can induce a shifted state of consciousness,
there can be no obvious reason to assume that this is not a very real effect on the human brain,
one that can lead to genuine visionary experiences and psychic insights.
If correct, then were the pyramid builders of ancient Egypt aware not only
of some very expressive forms of sound technology,
but also of the impact of infrasound on human bodily systems?

Is this why the Dead-end Passage in the Subterranean Chamber
was deliberately designed to generate infrasound,
and why other of its chambers produced it on a slightly lower level?

The Universe as a total, and in communion with human beings,
is always going to try to find balance,
a quantum approach to the species evolution is based on the necessity
of the matching waves' frequencies,
moving from the Dark to the Light Era means moving from a lower
to a higher frequency leap in the cosmos.

The advanced acoustic technologies used in ancient Egypt
reflects such a broad knowledge of the human body,
quantum psychics and astrophysics that point us to the
the possibility that the cranial elongation observed of ancient Egyptian royalty
and their paranormal attributed abilities may be,
a direct result of fetal gestation and natal biorhythmic
entrainment at the Pyramids through frequencies and alteration of energy fields.

WHAT IS NEXT ? KUNDALINI

2019-08-23T17:48:00.000-07:00

If you know me you know my tendency to unsettle,
the type seven on the enneagram,

always trying new things.

Most of the healers become healers to heal themselves,

my path to healing started to try to heal my mom,

but after I started my search I realized I was trying to heal myself

in relationship with her,

in a relationship with my lack of belonging.

A year ago I was questioning pretty much everything in my life:

my yoga practice,

the why and why not of living in the US,

the relationship I was in,

my work, my passions, my goals….

a strong sense of loss was knocking at my door

and I couldn’t see a way out,

yes, I guess we can call it a crisis.

One evening my friend Jessica asked me if I wanted to go

to Kundalini yoga at RA MA Institute in Venice with her,

I immediately said yes,

It was a long time I wanted to take one Guru Jagat's classes.

I sat in class at 9 am and,

literally felt completely familiar and organic to be there,

not only because the studio is a portal,

a spaceship to other worlds,

I felt completely reaffirmed in my heart after a long journey back home.

Only one class and I could already feel the benefits in my mind,

more quite, positive and reaching to a

bright light instead of seeking downhill

to the negative thoughts of not being enough,

insecurities and fears.

I really wanted to continue learning more,

taking more classes and see what Kundalini had for me,

I did Seva ( work exchange) for a couple of months,

and after that started working at the studio two nights a week.

Soon I found forgiving my inner child for years of guilt and fear,

the effects of the practice were so fast and clear,

the Kriyas were sort of familiar to me,

after over a decade, practicing Ashtanga and Hatha yoga;

what was new for me were the mantras and Breath Work.

The mantras began to find its own place in my head,

even if I did not know the words, order or meaning at the beginning,

there was a sense of opening space in my brain

that was allowed to settle into a subtle environment around my subconscious,

soon I stop thinking analytical or based on a dual judgment,

I realized that the more I used them the lighter my thoughts became,

and was able to see their patterns with clarity and peace.

I started to use them daily,

same as you drink water when you are thirsty or

rest when you are tired,

mantras can be used to clear your mind of negative thoughts, doubt, and fear.

“ The mind is like a toddler, if you give a knife to a toddler it could be very

dangerous but if you give him a feather everything changes “~ Guru Jagat

I changed my binaural beats at sleep time for mantras and,

soon I noticed I was not even really sleeping anymore,

I was held in a state of Nidra yoga through the sound,

as an alchemic process,

I was able to see parts of the body moving through the vibrations and,

reorganized in a better composition in relation to its function in my subtle body.

Some people consider this insomnia the first state of kundalini awakening.

“ There is a state in which the mind says, "I have no idea who I am,"

because it can't find the right script. Awakening is the realization that happens after the mind says,

“I give up. I just have no idea who I am “. When you start to understand this, you realize

that if you put down your script of being someone listening, and if you put down your

script of being someone saying something, and you just drop these roles for a moment,

you are not who you have taken yourself to be.” ~Emptiness Dancing -Adyashanti

This extract refers completely to my state at that moment:

I love dancing but I am not a dancer,

I love to perform but I am not performing,

I love to write but I am not writing,

I love to travel but I am not traveling,

I love to have a partner but I do not have one,

I kept on telling me this script over and over… so who am I?

I was so lost, asking myself what my ego wanted to hear,

but the Truth came in the shape of a child,

of pure love and forgiveness to myself,

the awareness that only I can love myself the way I love my beloved and

feel comfortable with it,

pure light and peace at the heart.

The interrelation body / soul or body/ identity

started to seem consistent and obvious.

I dived into workshops back to back with some of the best teachers,

Harijiwan changed my present life for one and ever,

probably already before I remember this happened,

but for sure I have and before and after his Rebirthing workshops.

I consider my self a pro on taking new experiences to the deepest,

and so I did with the workshops,

I started noticing how my mouth tasted to some sort of mineral

with the intense breathwork;

strong energy was involving my body, a current,

my own energy current, moving through and around,

bellow and above;

when we finished the sitting exercises/ meditation

I could not feel my feet or legs,

I was so literally high that had no feeling of touching the earth

but I was sitting on my butt, I thought :

- oh well, I guess levitation should feel like this,

like you are above the earth but you are on it.

After that, I could not eat for a couple weeks,

only drink water, teas, juices or smoothies in the best scenario,

I did not want to fast or planned it,

just could not eat and did not have the necessity to.

My body was on fire, literally, my head and body,

especially head felt on some sort of headache/ fever,

only cold drinks felt good and tons, gallons of water with cold showers.

It felt like the speed of my life was in a different momentum and

circumstances that I was thinking of changing, just changed.

The Gap, the space in between

2019-07-05T11:29:00.020-07:00

Trusting the Unknown is like dealing with Death,

everyday a part of us dies, a part of our soul leaves,

sometimes is the result of natural growth,

others due to a traumatic experience or
nearly to death experience.

Most of the times we do not even know we die,

we do not wanna accept that a part of us is death,

instead, we carry it as a burden, heavy and dense,

blocking the real frequency of our energy field,

disturbing the sound of our own current sound.

Letting go is not a new hippy affirmation,

Letting go is a path of growth and awareness.

The more we accept Death

the easiest it becomes to go back to

the whole, to the goal of compassion and destiny.

We know the drama,

we know what trauma and how it makes us feel,

those images that keep coming to our mind as excuses

of why we can not move forward,

why we are not successful and,

why we procrastinate our selves.

Returning from a week-long in the Sequoias National Park,

surrounded by trees, lakes,

dragonflies and a heart minded community

of dancers and movers,

nourished with organic local food and,

the fly of the swallows over the dance floor;

the air around me feels thinner,

my eyes have the soft touch of butterflies and,

the spark of the eyes

in which I reflected myself in every dance.

How fast we move in our daily lives
leaves a trace of productivity behind us

but at the same time empties somehow

is the vessel of the sacred now,

the present moment;

how easily can we stay fully present

at a high speed is a ninja skill,
that most yogis get to obtain and,

I will write about it in future posts;

the most beautiful gift

I am adding to my Journey’s Basket

after this week, is the magic, sensual, healing and,

blissful sensation of dropping in and,

fall in love with the Unknown,

falling in love with the steadiness,

recognition in the essence of it is enough,

it is ok, it is what it is;

acceptance without projections,

nature doesn’t play with rejections

but with transformation and integration.

How many faces do we present every day to the world,

when the resonance of your soul is only one,

pure and radiant, humble and innocent,

playful and beloved.

Finding joy in the gap, the gap between moments.

THE GAP

When systems break down and,

there is a gap between what was and what will be,

what wisdom can we glean from the cracks,
as the old foundation crumbles?

When systems break down,

when the well stops working and the power goes out,

when what we thought would be is no longer,

what good news can we seek from within the rubble?

What cracks creep into full heart-break and
bear us into the rightful loss and grieving,

the confusion and the pain of separation.

Let these be our shuttles through and inside of the gap.

Let these depths be the dark wisdom of coming home.

The gap between what was and what will be.

What do we do with THIS moment, this liminal space?

What is it to let go of the comfort of the status quo.

What is it to let go of the comforts

we thought we needed for survival.

Inside ourselves and among us.

What is it to consider the possibility

that stripping away

leaves us face to face with our resilience.

With all that we really ever needed.

What is it too slowly and willfully step

into the weeds together, hand to hand?

How do we face the impossibility of knowing

the next moment,

the mystery of this in-between place?

What courage do we muster

from the depths of our vulnerability?

What vulnerability do we muster

from the depths of our fear?

There is medicine in the weeds.

There is medicine in the gap.

There is rage and sorrow and

fear and confusion in the gap.

Let these be our shuttles.

Can we find our courage to go there,

be there, feel it all, together?

Can we hold it all and let it break us.

Can we yell and cry and take another inhale

of something different?

Let the water come to a standstill and let the power fail,

let the systems crumble around us and in us.

And from this stillness, let’s make way, let's make way,

for something different.

This transition time, this gap is not the easy part.

I’m not here to make it so.

But maybe,
if we do this together with willingness and mindfulness,

we’ll find our way through,
through the weeds and the confusion and,

the discomfort,

into something more beautiful than we could

have ever imagined,

had we not borne ourselves from the rubble,
had we not surrendered to the wisdom of the gap.

~Odessa Avianna Perez

The first time I saw someone death

I was living in Amsterdam,

as I was getting out of the door of the Artist's Community

building that I was living,

Sheryn was on the floor, death,

with a stream of blood coming out of her mouth,

she jumped from a 4th floor,
I saw her 2 minutes before and she was smiling,

she was alive, she was moving.

Where did she go? where does Life go?

What is Death?

I was very young by them,

and I grew up under Catholicism,

where suicide is a shame and,

everything around it is blamed,

I think that moment was,

when I started studying Buddhism,

surrounded by questions and

doubts about the dualism of good and evil.

When the police arrived to remove the body,

we were not ready to let her go,

we need some time to guide her to the Bardo,

to let her understand why she took

that decision with her life.

We circle her, holding our hands and,

sang to her our family song,

rituals have always been a milestone

in every tribe or community,

what builds bonds and respect,

what builds a language and identity.

For the first time in my life,
I could feel Death as an entity

that can be moved from one part to another,

I got inside the house and everything was different,

the lights were dimmer,

the stairs were higher and heavier,

the images in the pictures were barely radiating

half an inch.

I kept asking myself :

How was that moment in between?,

how can we find Bliss, Life,

and Acceptance in the gap.

DREAM WORK: A PATH TO DREAM WALKING

2019-06-15T23:53:00.001-07:00

First thing I wanna do, is to thanks Toko-Pa
for being so generous and granted me with a scholarship
to attend her online course Dream Walking,
giving me the opportunity to learn another tool,
gain skill and add a gift to my Journey's Basket;
learn how to read our dreams and,
integrate the archetypes that will arise in them.

Maybe there is really nothing to learn or
interpret but,
to question why those dreams come to us,
what are they bringing from the inner world
for us to see and, work with,
our dreams will play with our shadow in a very subtle way,
nightmares or bad dreams have to be welcome
as a big opportunity to explore and,
bring to the light bad habits or addictions, fears,
blockages and, walls around us.

Embracing our shadow is walking the landscape of our soul,
uncover parts of ourselves and lead us to understand
how to live the Dream.

As I wrote in my post Permaculture vs. the Astral Body in Gurdjieff:

" The moments of sorrow when we do not see the light,
the complete desperation, and solitude
is part of the creation between worlds,
is the space Gods give us to be our own Gods.
Only in the darkness can be seen the light and,
only the shadow can invite the light to uplift our souls,
plants can change even sex
if they don't have the right amount of light. "

Life cannot be understood without challenges,
the challenge makes us grow and,
the biggest medicine is going beyond not knowing,
but trusting that the poison is the medicine,
the pain of making friends with our shadow
will bring up the creativity hidden in
the most difficult part of us.

We know what limits us and what scares us,
but it is almost terrifying to admit that,
by putting our hands in our life and,
looking at it directly into the eyes,
it is the only way to create our destiny.

Recurring dreams are recurring patterns,
I finally got to see clearly one of my most
recurring dreams in the past years:

The Dream: My inner guidance/guru

I dream I am on a hike and my dog disappears,
I can hear him barking and hauling in the distance
but cannot see him,
I know he is far away but it doesn't matter how much
or laud I call him, he won't hear me.

Or someone stole /kidnap him
while we are walking in the street,
I look everywhere, ask everyone, nothing.

I do not despair,
in my dream I know he is gonna come back
or I am gonna find him.
Now I see and,
understand my dog represents my innocence and pure love,
from where my destiny is nourished,
the only thing that stays in my life when everything else falls apart.

It was a little difficult time-space wise
for me to follow the entire month-course,
because of attending the same time Lucidity University
for a week (also with a Scholarship !!! So Much Gratitude)
but instead of feeling that I was leaving something unexplored,
I felt the pieces were taking place in perfect timing,
the workshop I was part of on Somatic Movement & Embodied Freedom,
gave me the feedback through my body of how
after allowing myself to follow one dream,
I had open the vortex to create and,
generate the right vibration and frequency to call
my destiny:

The dream - Play More

I am at a shopping mall,
with my cart just being super efficient on what I needed to buy,
suddenly a sweet woman gives me a blanket cartoon
that I absolutely wasn't planning on buying,
I looked at her and tell her I don't need that stupid blanket,
to what she responds: just take it !.

As I woke up from this dream I had it clear,
more play, more space, more of what I love to do.

The Great Dave Zaboski was teaching one
of his Master Workshops for Creators at Lucidity,
based on the idea of how we have to be in service
of our own trajectory to create a strong story:

Belief- Collaborate-Interact-Risk-Complete.

When we dream we allow our subconscious to speak freely:

" The subconscious mind is finite; once it gets full you start to get
anxious, depressed, insomnia, nightmares, suffering from epidemics;
Becoming your walking reality !! The subconscious mind can be cleaned by
meditation, sound technology, breathing technics, pray."~ Yogi Bhajan

At this point in my Kundalini daily practice and my training in Dream Work,
this question came to me like an epiphany:
if I am clearing my subconscious mind

HOW TO BUILD A SUPPORT SYSTEM

2019-01-25T00:25:00.002-08:00

We all have bad days, terrible years and super shitty experiences;
the good news is!! you do not have to and more importantly,
you should not be alone,
creating and/or having a support system is the key to
survive and thrive in this new social media society
especially if you live in a big city
and do not have much access to nature, in both cases,
because the countryside could also be very isolated,
and we humans are meant to be in packs, as our dear friends the wolfs;
having the tools to feel nourished and supported
when things are going downhill will change your life
into a more soothing experience.

I am gonna go through what works for me,
what helps me over and over to stay grounded and creative,
to tap into joy and kindness instead of self-sabotage.

First step:

Try to point out the cause of the problem:
what or who is making me feel, drained, sad, depressed, angry, anxiety.

Second step:

Can I change the situation or talk to that person?

Here is where things start to get complicated and having
or creating a support system will help us to go through,
move on or see the problem from a different perspective.
Sometimes we can not change circumstances and even less a person,
we will be hitting the wall and the only thing that will change
will be the size of our head.

Third Step :

Reach out to talk to someone,
yes, it could be openly asking for help or support,
or if you are in the blame/guilty mode and prefer not to be vulnerable
just reach out one of your friends, even the one you only talk
once a year to but you know it is always there for you;
or a family member, to me works that I really do not talk with my
mom or relatives about my problems but,
just the fact to have a conversation with them brings so much clarity
to my reactions or how I am perceiving a situation,
remember that even if we do not want to,
and we work hard on de-learning parental habits(will be a post just for this)
we carry so much on our shoulders from early years.

If none of these two are available for you,
and you are not under specialist supervision to talk to your therapist,
just go out !!!
Make contact with your neighbors, co-workers, vendors,
talking about the weather-related stuff
is a great ice breaker ;-))
socialize but not to the point you are so crazy-busy
that you forget, it is not about covering the problem
is about working through it without falling into
negative or destructive/ addictive behaviors:
overeating, drinking, use of a drug, negative self-talk, etc.

I am gonna share with you what works for me and,
I wished I had had or knew when I was a teenager,
when you are pointed as an outcast for your energy instead of
celebrated in the transition to adulthood as is done in other cultures.

4th Step: Self Care

Diet:
Planning a super healthy diet ahead, envision it first;
how good it is gonna make you feel, cut off sugars, dairy, and gluten,
go shopping and pack your fridge, with all colors of vegetables,
juices, coconut water, good water, clean raw organic (if possible)
vegan protein powder, healthy snacks like nuts, figs, pure cacao,
dry fruits, raw honey or nut butter,

I personally chose almond or cashew,

and they are super easy to make with the blender,
just make sure you have plenty of organic coconut oil.

If you like to cook, have some hearty salads ready to go,
I love raw broccoli salad with cashews,

red bell peppers, apple, carrots, raisins, tahini, and lemon;
and soups, it is super easy to buy fresh organic

or frozen organic cauliflower, beets, carrots, boil them and blend.

Smoothies is my to go favorite option to keep me going,
easy to digest, full of vitamins and colors.

Vitamins:

Do not hesitate to buy multivitamins, the cleaner the better,
enzymes, probiotics, greens !! I love wheatgrass and spirulina,
and my big secret is the friendly mushrooms: Reishi and Chaga!

high frequencies and a boost of energy without the caffeine.

Massages:

Touch and being touched releases oxytocin, endorphins,
release stress, tensions, and anxiety.

The more relaxed we are the better we can process from food to thoughts,
having a central nervous system working smoothly,

it is amazingly efficient.
The CNS is responsible for taking in information through the senses,

controlling motor function, as well as thinking,
understanding, reasoning. It also controls emotion.

WHO AM I?

2018-12-16T23:23:00.003-08:00

WHO AM I?

Two nights ago I had this dream:

I was living in a beautiful house complex,

actually very similar to the one I live in,

with a big green front yard, with fruit trees,

amazing neighbors,

good weather, blue skies…

and I had the keys of a different unit beside mine,

in my dream, I assumed that the house was empty

and unfurnished so I could

use it whenever I need it or wanted,

I had a profound feeling of owning it.

One morning, some friends came to visit

and I took them to show them the other

the house I was not living in but had the key,

when I opened the door my surprised was that

someone was living there, and the house was fully furnished.

I instantly related this to my lover,

the person with who I have been sharing a relationship for

a year and a half now, without being negative or falling into drama

I had two readings for this:

1) was that as I always fear, because of his lack of commitment,

was that he is not emotional available exclusively

with me but has his home already furnished,

but he makes me think he is interested.

2) was that no one has to come to fulfill our house/home,

other than ourselves and that things are not

what we assume they are.

Last night I continued tapping into the feeling of that dream

because I wanted to know more,

and the metaphor of a home as a soul was very clear to read.

The same dream came back,

this time I was in a bigger more luxurious home,

with roommates that showed being super successful

and comfortable in their lives.

I had this question in mind,

that has been coming to me a lot lately:

why and how I have created this energy around me?

why I and other people see me as someone who I might not be?

who the fuck am I?

Suddenly this super wise old woman answered me

in my dream, calm and beautifully spoken:

- the circumstances of your life have made you become the person

who you are and in consequence the energy that you project.

If you have had it easy to move among different worlds,

if u have been lucky to survive after taking so many risks and battles,

if you are kind and generous on your heart after you have been hurt over and over,

you are that person, you can not unlived what you have lived.

You have to hold proud into that uniqueness and gift, no shames or blames.

LAW OF ATTRACTION . MT.SHASTA

2018-12-16T22:08:00.000-08:00

Let me tell you the story about this hat:

Last year I took a road trip with
Pooh to Humboldt County for my birthday,

we drove all the way up the Lost Coast and Oregon wild beaches;

in my head, since I left LA

was the idea to drive back through Mt. Shasta,
a vortex I was feeling really attracted to,
but I was giving myself all kind of excuses:
I can’t drive under the snow on the mountains

(my fear of heights was really bad at that time),

too far probably, to do what...
The day I had to drive back to LA

to get to an important meeting in the next two days,
I was ignoring my little dream to go to Mt. Shasta

but after 2 hours driving south the 101

I heard on the radio that the road had been closed

for three days due to a rock slide 😳I was shocked,

stopped at a coffee shop and ask the locals about my options,

the only reasonable way to get back to LA

was to drive back to Eureka take the 299,

go to Mt.Shasta and from there Redding I5 south.
Oh well !! I smiled and look at the skies:

yes I know, I can be a pussy, but the universe was there for me...
I had the most amazing time driving through mountains,

rivers, snow... the panoramic is breathtaking,
I could feel the adrenaline in every curve as

I was driving up the mountain,

I decided to breathe deep and trust my angels,

and slowly the fear was not there anymore, instead, I was so full of myself,
So proud and happy I made it.
I bought this hat at Mt. Shasta

just to remind me

that fear is optional and that the old Greeks were right,

if something is meant to happen it will happen

it doesn’t matter how much you hide or push,

the law of attraction will find you.

5RHYTHMS. WHY WE DANCE ?

2018-11-22T08:42:00.000-08:00

Understanding our body as a fluid entity,

a laboratory of exploration to the mind where

different layers and rhythms are the reflections

of the elements running and taking place in our bodies.

Water, wood, fire, earth and metal, the 5 elements

used in the traditional Feng Shui to balance,

attract or repel energies,

an elegant framework to work with the human character,

cycles, temperament, and illness.

Each of us contains one or two predominant elements

that dominate our character corresponding to an energy vibration,

through music,

we create systems that move and connect with other systems,

rippling outside in the universe in a specific pattern that will click

with the energy of the cosmos.

5 Rhythms is a map to tap into the elements of our body with music,

and its practice is based on the idea that everything is energy,

that moves in waves, patterns, and rhythms.

It is a healing practice to channel through our bodies the stuck energy,

to bring clarity to our visions, to dismantle our fears, to find joy in our hearts.

The map is built by 5 different Rhythms:

Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness.

The sequence of the 5 played in this order is called" the wave".

Flowing is a metaphor for Water and is the opening sequence

in our map, represents the awakening of a new day,

with mostly instrumental, uplifting, soft, and short individual beats.

Staccato is the metaphor for Wood, growing from a seedling,

it is the high energy of “getting things done “,

connecting intentions with other dancers,

opening awareness to space, bringing steady beats

with forwarding momentum.

Chaos is the metaphor for Fire when the day is in full swing,

the deepest feeling in the relationship with the song,

allowing the body to move chaotic and lose the mind,

big and popular songs with high intensity and tempos,

playing with archetypes, animals, dark-light, revealing the masks.

Lyrical as Earth that supports and nurtures, having some conscious fun,

bringing connections among the dancers/community,

using the high energy created during Chaos to keep the bodies moving

allowing more space to the body while still being expressive in the dance.

Stillness is the Metal, structure, and order,

it is the time of the day to slow down,

to step back into the quiet comfort of ourselves to rest and recharge,

integration of the whole ride with little or no defined rhythms,

more ambient with the openness of the dialog after the wave.

How do we relate our physical body and

our emotional state through

meridians and organ systems,

how we dance is how we heal,

dance is open to any age, physical condition or

level of expertise.

" 5Rhythms is a movement meditation practice

devised by Gabrielle Roth in the late 1970s.

It draws from indigenous and world traditions

using tenets of shamanistic,

ecstatic, mystical, and eastern philosophy.

It also draws from Gestalt therapy

the human potential movement and transpersonal psychology.

Fundamental to the practice is the idea that everything is energy,

and moves in waves, patterns, and rhythms.

Roth describes the practice as a soul journey,

and says that by moving the body,

releasing the heart, and freeing the mind,

one can connect to the essence of the soul,

the source of inspiration in which an individual

has unlimited possibility and potential ". Wikipedia

“My work is a marriage of art and healing

meant to catalyze wholeness through dance,

song, poetry, ritual, and meditation.

I have learned through suffering and experimentation

how to transform daily life into sacred art “ (Roth 1989:2)

Dance has been one of my biggest tools

for many years to heal so many traumas from childhood,

to reveal compassion and find more in peace with myself;

coming from a trance/ rave background,

with training in modern and jazz dance, Butho and theater,

finding 5Rhythms has given me a language to express a transformation

in my life and body over the years,

a supportive community that mirrors

each of us as only a family does.

JOSHUA TREE, DOWNLOADING INFORMATION AT THE INTEGRATON.

2018-10-17T14:14:00.007-07:00

Leaving in Los Angeles,

sporadic trips to Joshua Tree

is a normal thing to do,

many retreats are held in the desert,

festivals and any kind of spiritual inspiration
for artists is founded here.

My last visit to Joshua Tree was a completely

different experience

to anyone before,

my friend Anastasia Wasko had the amazing idea

to book a sound bath session at the Integraton,

a tourist attraction designed

by the Ufologist and Contactee George Van Tassel,

who claimed that the Integraton was capable

of rejuvenation, anti-gravity and time travel.

The road trip to get there is a sequence

of dusty roads and cactuses,

the immense blue sky and the incredible sense

of being in a different Planet, Venus?

“ According to Van Tassel,

the Integratron's workings rely on

the generation of strong

"intermittent magnetic fields"

resulting in the generation of plasma in the form of

a corona discharge

and negative air ionization inside the building.

The Integratron is based

on the Multiple Wave Oscillator

invented by George Lakovhsky

The Multiple Wave Oscillator

is a combination of a high Voltage Tesla coil

and a Splirt-ring resonator that generates

ultra wideband electromagnetic frequencies.

Van Tassel speculated that electromagnetism

affects biological cells,

and believed that every biological cell has a

unique resonant electromagnetic frequency.

According to Van Tassel,

the generation of strong ultra wideband

EMF by the Integratron

"resonates" with the cell's frequency and "recharges"

the cellular structure as if it were an electrical battery.

Van Tassel claimed that human cells "rejuvenated" while inside the structure.

Van Tassel also claimed, the Integratron is intentionally

constructed atop a powerful geomagnetic anomaly

and its construction is entirely of non- ferromagnetic materials,

the equivalent to a modern radome“ Wikipedia.

True experience is,

that after 10 minutes immersed in the sound bath,
going over all kind of thoughts and worries,

my brain just took off,
and for more than an hour,

went directly to the vortex/source,
I do not remember anything,

time passed as if was 1 minute.

Void, sweet emptiness, recognition,

faith, peace, love, Earth,
I am enough, I am successful,

I am loved, I am unique,
I am one with the Universe.

These are the feelings I brought back from the light,
information that is lost and needs to be retrieved,
a knowledge that is in our DNA

but has been manipulated through
generations by the patriarch language, to create fear.

If the Knowledge of the Universe is not on us,
how can the Universe recognize us?

As the animal Kingdom and nature,

love frequency has no duality.

Downloading all this information

comes naturally in such a sacred surrounding,
working with the elements of fire,

Mother earth, and the connexion across time
given by the sunset and sunrise of the dessert.

Agni Otra Sunrise Ceremony facilitated by Anastasia Wasko

From Mother Gaia comes our strength and
only by being one with her

we can find peace in our hearts.

Very clear and intense codes

are in the DNA of the rocks,
that is why is said Lemurians

printed their codes on the crystal rocks,
and there are certain keys to read them.

Joshua Tree is a portal of Venus,

only through love and peace, the portal will
show us where the elements are hidden

to guide the human race in this time of awakening.

We wanted to listen more what the Land wanted to teach us,
so we were invited to take a night walk

inside the park on the New Moon....

Oneness with the infinite and

the knowledge of the stars :

Why our brain trace a line between stars

that allows us to see
the constellations as if were drawn in the sky,

it is a visual illusion.

Same happens with the inner light

of high-frequency individuals,
the brightness will trace an illusionary line

but energetically consistent,
creating the patterns of the sacred symbols,
charging the Earth, giving back what it has been taken.

The lines get activated by the keys

of love and peace in our hearts.

It is our sacred service to the human race and,

the planet to maintain a clear high frequency.

PERMACULTURE vs.THE ASTRAL BODY IN GURDJIEFF

2018-09-13T18:17:00.028-07:00

When I started writing this post about Permaculture

never imagined that Gurdjieff was gonna cross my research

bringing movement, mathematics, and sounds to the creation

of a specific system or body, “the astral body”.

It is being two months and I could continue researching

and making this post longer but it is time to let it go,

and start new things, It has served as a big purpose.

We have been hearing and probably even working

with the concept of permaculture in the past years,

It has been considered the most environmental

responsible way to create any kind of garden,

farming or crop-based in ecosystems

by a “permanent culture”, being this permanent culture

a social reading of the agriculture.

Permaculture as an inspiration for the better

use of the elements around us,

not only air, food, and water but also

the use of specific energies/ frequencies

that will nourish the soil for a stronger and,

more productive crop.

What type of energies should be combined

in order to flourish a certain type of idea or community,

considering that both of them have a matter?

what is the density of this matter?
and how can we increase its volume and mass?

My experience of years growing has given me

so much feedback from my plants

as a whole community, where clones

of the same mother plant recognize each other and,

will mutate together to preserve themselves

against other invasive weed,

this mutation is based on intelligence,

sometimes by growing deeper or thicker roots,

sometimes by stretching and getting more access to light

and others even developing the extra amount of leaves.

Not only that, plants will grow happier and stronger

if the mother plant is close to them,

same as the Queen and its hive,

a strong Queen guaranties the health and,

productivity of the hive.

Gurdjieff uses the concept of crystallization

as a transformation,

while still alive in the physical body

a man crystalizes enough higher matter to

form an astral body, vessel for the soul.

Scientifically speaking,

crystallization is a transformation,

it entails the changing of the form of an element

from one state to another.

Like the transformation of water vapor into ice,

the struggle between “no” and “yes” in man,

enacted on the proper foundation,

could lead to such crystallization,

after which the nature of struggle would be altogether altered.

The more we dance the higher is the frequency we create,

through movement, we open and design certain algorithms

that modify how we understand time-space on a regular basis.

What is the density of that frequency?

Logic will speak directly to us if we

think about water or a rock,

the density of the water is less than the rock.

Gurdjieff as one of the greatest

movement teacher in our century,

gave us the tools to connect the more ancient

sacred dance technics of Sufism/Derviches

with modern/contemporary dance.

He traveled for years in East Asia,

letting himself immerse for extended periods of time

in lost Monasteries in India and Siberia,

learning from Altai Shamanism, occultism and mystery schools,

together with the primitive Christians.

Permaculture principles are familiar to all of us:

How do we integrate them into our daily lives,

it is how the environment creates and modulates our DNA,

and where are the keys to modify our universal map,

recognizing this keys to transform the environment,

be part of the construction of our reality not just a spectator of it.

“Many psychic processes can take place only in the dark.

Even a feeble light of consciousness is enough to change

completely the character of a process,

while it makes many of them altogether impossible.”

– George Gurdjieff

The moments of sorrow when we do not see the light,

the complete desperation, and solitude

are part of the creation between worlds,

are the space Gods give us to be our own Gods.

Only in the darkness can be seen the light and

only the shadow can invite the light to uplift our souls,

plants can change their sex

if they don't have the right amount of light.

One of the central strands in Gurdjieff’s belief-system

interconnected with permaculture in its more pure principle

was the World-creation and World-maintenance,

which he said was derived from

“an old Sumerian manuscript”

discovered by a great Kurdish philosopher.

The doctrine can be summed up very simply:

“Everything that exists maintains and

is maintained by other existences.”

Peculiar to Sufism and appearing in no other religion,

it states that the whole of the universe

is a web of mutually supporting systems,

“apparatuses for transforming energy,”

each one of which produces the means

of sustenance for others.

This law of reciprocal maintenance governs all of life

and applies to man as well as in his relation

to Mother Nature.

The world is not made for man, as we have been taught;

both are made for each other.

Man’s destiny and,

the destiny of the earth are interdependent.

The evolution of the one depends on the evolution of the other,

the survival of one on the survival of the other.

Man is not separate from the cosmic process;

he is himself part of the ecosystem he observes out there,

and he must serve the evolution of the world as well as his own.

The Earth is a living, breathing entity.

A need for reflection, mirroring,

a meditation on the other smile,

cry, excitement, a meditation on the sensuality of the group.

Meditation on the belief of ourselves as a transformative

experience of what is around us.

To feed a support system

where love and light become the language.

Then, the watching is not limited to the body,

but expands to the room,

the other participants, the music and sounds…
Distance with thoughts and emotions is created.

Stillness is experienced at the core of all movements,

inaction behind action…

THE GODDESS BEE AND THE SACRED FEMININE, DRUIDS AND THE HOLY GRAIL.

2018-05-15T22:34:00.018-07:00

“ Ask the wild bee what the druid knows “,

this old says holds words of the most ancient mysteries.

Druids, bees, and trees formed and old relationship,

based on the wisdom of each other symbiosis

and cooperation.

Bees pollinate trees, and trees feed and house bees.

Druids interpret, protect and nurture both trees and bees

as sources of health, wealth, wisdom,

and access to the faerie world.

In Celtic society, bees were thought to have secret knowledge,

and transmit communications between ours and the otherworld.

We found the Goddess Bee already

in the Spanish Neolithic 5.000 BC,

who was depicted as a dancing Goddess,

probably because the Bee is the only insect

that communicates through dance.

Honey Hunting in Spain – approximately 13,000 BC

"Bees are a highly organized matriarchal culture.

They may travel miles to collect their riches

(pollen and nectar),

which are shared with the entire hive;
and they recognize no human boundaries.

There are scout bees that search for sources of food
and return to communicate

what they’ve found to others through dance-like movement.

The health of the Queen is paramount and,

her condition is broadcast

to the entire hive through pheromones.

If anything in the hive becomes unsatisfactory

– like crowding or an ailing queen –

the workers feed some larvae “royal jelly”

to make a few new queens.

The first queen out of her cell finds and

kills the others, and then leaves with half the hive

to establish her own colony. "

The Bee Queen is the symbol of the Sacred Feminine,

the divine rights subjugated by the Patriarch religion
to keep you/us from meeting your higher self.

We see some parallels here with old Celtic society,

where the health and uprightness of the ruler meant

a good relationship with the Goddess of the Land which,

in turn, brought prosperity to the tribe.

Not only men but also women were rulers,

warriors, and workers,

and the male ruler’s authority derived

from the Goddess of the Land.

An unfit ruler,

who lost her or his connection to the fertility of the land

could be dethroned and, a new one selected.

Rulers were, above all, servants to the relationship
between the people and the Spirit of the Land.

The queen, for the most part,

is the unifying force in the community.

The Feminine is the Spirit and her attributes are
forgiveness, creative energy, an abundance of love.

In Ancient Egypt, we found the Goddess Maat,

she represents the underworld and,

the star of the Gods,

representing the laws of nature.

Her symbol is a feather to weight the heart when you die,

but for the Egyptians, you die twice:
when you are born and when the person

enters the wake- up process of knowing the true Self;

if the heart weight less or equal than the feather
you are ready to transcend,

if weights more you are not ready for your new life.

Imagination is the knowledge of the heart:

harmony and purity;

when you enter the underworld of the subconscious

Maat is there.

Maat's spirit is the spirit of creation.

Together with the Goddess Heka,

as the force that allows the operational function of life

and founds expression in the heart and the tongue;

they were in the world before duality therefore

the entire values of the Egypt civilization were built upon them:
nature and magic.

The Greek word for ‘fate’, ‘death’ and

‘Goddess of death’ is e ker (feminine);

the word for ’heart’ and ‘breast’ is to ker (neuter);

while the word for ‘honeycomb’ is to kerion (neuter).

The common root ker links the ideas of the honeycomb,

Goddess, death, fate and the human heart,

a nexus of meanings that is illumined

if we know that the Goddess was once imagined as a bee.

When pagan religions started to be repressed and condemned,

the central importance of the sacred feminine

in society was taken away
and with it the connection with Mother Earth and our inner self.

The eternal quest of the Holy Grail symbolized

the pagan way to try to keep the feminine alive,

and for thus the Grail Castle is the archetypal concept

of the unconscious, a timeless dimension;

The Grail gives us an emotional readiness to receive,

as the feminine is represented by the uterus=fertility
as a container of knowledge and creation.

When the magical powers obtained

for those who find the Holy Grail

are happiness, eternal youth,
and sustenance in infinite abundance.

The Self ( Grail) asks us a question for us unique
to our personal destiny or daemon.

It is the call to start the Hero’s Journey,

the moment you enter the wake-up process.

In the story of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table,

the King kills his son and returns his

sword ( Excalibur ) to the lady of the lake ( MAAT)

surrounding his power and authority,

while his counselor Merlin perishes from his own magic

used against him by a woman,

Percival is in the quest for the Holy Grail

and when he finds it decides not to return
but stays at the Grail Castle.

One wonders though what JK Rowling was thinking

when she named the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore.

Dumbledore is an old English name for a bumblebee.

The Sacred Feminine Era is now,

in a World that is finally ripe to support

the Way of Love.

The Sacred Feminine returns to take

her rightful place alongside the healed masculine,

at the center of the Great Shift is the Womb-

the seed center and Bindu point

of all the ancient spiritual traditions,

forgotten and covered by a mist of time :

Hidden inside the awakened womb is the jewel :

“ Om Mani Padme Hum “ .-

Hail to the jewel in the lotus,

the jewel of the womb.

Magic is upon us.

Let's all be Spirit Keepers of the Womb

#social media fast experiment and lucid dreaming

2018-03-12T02:09:00.005-07:00

How do you feel when you take a vacation from work?

No boss, no co-workers, no schedule, no commitments,

no alarms, no answering to emails, phone calls…
I know most of you are your own bosses
but still have many responsibilities to take care of every day.

My decision to be off the grid was based on the necessity
to focus on my time aka productivity aka projects and
don’t be influenced by algorithms from the outside,

from the publicity that I get on my emails accounts,
Facebook page, Instagram, etc;

I wanted to listen to the silence and from there
create my own thoughts

without the interference of the quote of the day

or the new spot in LA to have brunch….NOOO !!

My first day I was on a complete anxiety
when I wrote down in my notebook

the time and the day that I decided to start, literally,

I even wrote down the time with minutes 2/26 at 8:18 pm
… wait, what?

When I caught myself doing this I started laughing,

Felt as if I was gonna be looking at the time
on a week to exactly at 8:18 pm

download again all the apps on my phone.

I woke up the next day with an intense sense of presence,

excited to go to one of my favorite yoga classes
with Vinnie Marino
when I park my car at the yoga studio
I realized that I didn’t have my phone with me,

again I started laughing,

It is great to tap into happiness by laughing

(highly recommended, as much as you can! ).

That day I started reading two books,
made a business plan for a project,

wrote on my blog,
and slept 10 hours straight at night
while working on my lucid dreaming.

There is a space between us and the Gods
that sometimes is empty,

a time where we are invited to be the Gods

that we worship, those moments are the moments

when we feel sad or alone,

when the sorrow is so intense

that we wanna tear the chest

and take our hearts out to stop feeling the pain,

those moments are meant to be

for transformation, to create and grow.

In ancient Greece

the God of Healing was Asclepius,

also credited with powers of prophecy.

Asclepius used Sleep Temples

as hospitals of sorts,

healing a variety of ailments,
many of them psychological in nature.

The treatment involved chanting,
placing the patient into a trance-like

or hypnotic state, and analyzing their dreams
in order to determine treatment.

Meditation, fasting, baths,

and sacrifices to the patron deity
or other spirits, were often involved as well.

This sleep temples where use for incubation:
a dream therapy in which while dreaming

the patient will get directions from Asclepius
on the necessary steps were to treat their ailments,
in the case of no presence of Asclepius during

the dream the dreams

will be interpreted by one of his priests.

One of the procedures

before being considered treated in the Asclepeion

(sleep temple) was the catharsis or purification stage,

in which the patient undergoes

a clean diet over a series of days

or purging their emotions through art,

offers to the temple and,

prays that create a more positive outlook for them.

The use of dreaming for healing

has been an extensive and old practice

that our society has been forgetting

throughout the years; but what kind /quality

of dreams can we have when we use social media,

tv, movies, violent documentaries as sleep inducers?

The possibility of deepening

on my lucid dreaming practice
while doing this fasting.

has given me the opportunity
of seeing really fast results.

Inducing my dreams

with delta and theta waves music for sleeping,

both an incredible technique

to produce melatonin,

and scientific probed that Delta Waves

allows the person to care more and,

empathize with people,

generally leading to being more receptive

to their problems and being more willing and,

fulfilled to help them.

Included in this is an increase in one’s intuition,

which in scientific terms is the body’s

the natural response to certain events or activities.

Intuitions allow the person to tap

into the body’s natural capabilities

and the mind’s expectations,

that allows for better decision making

when it comes to intuition.

Lucid dreaming gives you the opportunity

to drive your experiences

in the dream of healing and,

personal development.

One of the first aspects

I have been working on my dreams has been

how to react to certain circumstances,

putting my self in the dream in that situation

I can consciously decide

how I want to react when awake:
being calm, not react, smarter decisions.

And even most important,
it helps to stop projecting in others

what doesn’t exist,

when you can be objective without

the radical emotions of the human

body and time.

My fourth and fifth days were

an immense bliss,

adding a progressive detox plan

for the Spring Equinox:
no alcohol, more greens, green supplements,

probiotics, gradually reduction of any animal

products and negativity aka drama.

Dancing, hiking, meditation, journaling
have being part of the support system

to count with.

It was day 11, not 7 as I planned

when I downloaded my social media

back to my phone,

I did not even realize it when the day passed,

I was happy and present,
I did not want to reconnect myself to the web...

It felt like coming back to work

after a sweet vacation,

no more intimacy, no more quality time,

no more cuddling
and long conversations over meals,
no more sunsets and laugh….

Back to the emptiness of looking

for recognition with likes and emojis.

FROM ECSTATIC DANCE LOS ANGELES TO EAGLE'S NEST. GUATEMALA PILGRIMAGE

2018-02-19T13:30:00.029-08:00

One correction of movement brings

you to the continuity of your pilgrimage,

your constant wonder to the magical opened space

created in the vortex of manifestations.

At the spontaneous question of :

which is your next dream trip?

Being completely immersed in the dance,

ecstatic absorption of fantasy draw

by a tumultuous

and sensual exchange of creativity.

It did not take me even a couple of seconds to respond:

Atitlán Lake, Guatemala,

that's my next dream trip!!

The dance kept going, intense beats per minute,

acrobatics and trust;

when the music stopped

and we were in a circle of gratitude and announcements,

the Gods Spoken:

An ecstatic dance retreat in Guatemala,

Atitlán Lake with the international community…

the door was opened to a new adventure across borders.

Every second after the decision of joining the adventure

has been a continuous receiving and giving

of unconditional love, deep deep entourage with myself.

A Couple of weeks before I was jumping to the Redwoods

for a Winter Dance Camp,

a spaceship of non-attachment and joy.

The pure joy of being,

pure joy for sharing passions and love,

pure joy for finding a home.

When you open a door and put your energy into it,

you feed the vortex inside it that made you open it,

you have to let go,

you have to embrace what will have to come
without losing your anchor,

reentering every morning into the flame

that stays in your heart

but allowing the laugh of the neighbor

to brighten your day,

the pain of your roommate to be your pain

and be always ready to help and listen.

Do not be afraid to laugh,

so loud that your chicks turn red and,

your eyes cry with joy.

I give myself the pleasure to write,

where El Camino,

or better said where the choice of wonder,

took me and,

the clues that synchronicity left for me on the mountains.

When I arrived at the Eagles Retreat in Atitlán,
our home for the week,

I couldn't be more fascinated by the beauty of the location,

it is literally one of the most beautiful planets of this galaxy.

I considered myself a well-traveled person

and when I contemplated the lake from the Dj's
the platform on top of the Dance Floor,

I was immersed in a dreams land,

I turned to the person next to me

and told him:
I wish I live here .- to what he responded: I hope you do.

That night I found out he was Greg Clough,

the visionary behind the Eagle's Nest.

I kept wandering around the hill,

exploring the subtle relationship

between the environment and,

the consciousness of the space,

when I saw a Santiago Cross

on one of the stones sink looking to the lake,

one of the symbols of the Pilgrims in El Camino.

My mind was completely blown away,

I asked myself why a Santiago Cross in Guatemala,

but I smiled, filling my heart with an intense sense of home.

This place is Beyond everything you can imagine….

so so pretty, so so magic,

the mountains are the knowledge of the lake
and the lake is the reflection of the skies.

The condors surveillance your dreams,

your dance, your yoga, your meditation,

you are stargazing shootings stars in the sky

while the volcanos are painting the darkness

of the night with lava silhouettes

of a magnificent vibrant fire;

being invited by the most astonishing

views of the lake whose depths

embraces a lost village with pyramids and,

all kind of legends,

combining clouds with the pure green of the mountains

in a luxurious spectacle of paradise,

Daily Mayan Gods of light, breeze,

the colors of the sky, animals, and nature.

That night I learned the reason of the Santiago Cross,

and not only that but the shape

of the pilgrim's shell of the dance floor,

open looking at the villages

across the lake called Santiago ...wow!

Greg did El Camino and as a pilgrim
it is one of his inspirations to build

the concept of the Eagle's Nest

together with the nurturing and symbolic Little Prince,
if you take the time to observe you will see the scenery that
inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in his book,
and how our experience at the retreat,

what we shared, what we learned,
the emotions and the expression of them,
what came up through the dance and how we deal with,
it is a pure representation of one and,

each of the characters of the book.

The Fox teaches the Little Prince the importance of rituals
and ceremonies outside the strict world of grown-ups;
we had fire ceremonies, cacao ceremonies,

wedding ceremonies...

The Rose represents the unconditional love,
love that comes from investing in other people,
and the teaching that the most important in life is invisible.

The Snake that feeds his soul with others fears and represents
danger and risk, but in an act of love and faith,

Little Prince has to trust
him to go back home with his Rose.

The Narrator indicates that lessons

must be learned through personal
exploration and,

not only from books and other teachings.

The Little Prince is a pure and innocent traveler,

he can see what adults don't,
he brings back childhoods memories

into the Narrator's mind and teaches him
to be yourself even though no one is listening to you and,

to fight for what you love.

After years traveling the world,

following his passion for Acro Yoga and Dance,

Creg Clough found this land 4 years ago
and started designing what for him will be the home
for the Circus, Yoga, and Movement world community.

My spirit will be always grateful for the incredible experience,
the opportunity to share such a magical space with super talented
and bright souls, the self- transformation result of our play,

dance, and interaction

PHENOMENOLOGY IN DANCE

2018-01-26T21:30:00.006-08:00

A few months ago,

I went to a super cool screening: Obey Giant,

based on the life and work

of the genius street art artist Shephard Fairey,

one of the ideas that catch me the most

was the presence in his perspective of

phenomenology for his expansive work and,

the immediate recognition

by public personalities of his transcendental imaginary,

phenomenology is a means of discovering

unnoticed aspects of the world,

the inquiry of phenomena uncovers

the wealth and complexity of human experience

and provokes the sense of wonder,

it is an evolving practice, not a finished system.

What really opened my curiosity

was to investigate the relationships

between the object and the process

that allows the appearance

of the object in consciousness.

Shephard Fairey first work in 1989

was the sticker on a featured

bare-bones black-and-white lithograph

of the legendary professional

wrestler Andre the Giant.

The directive and source would be unknown,

urging passersby to "Obey!"

in a totalitarian message of conformity.

Soon the Obey graphic will be

in the all country and worldwide pockets

as a pop-art phenomenon of the counterculture,

who would later achieve acclaim

with his WPA -inspired “Progress”

poster for Barack Obama's 2008 campaign.

The OBEY campaign attempts

to stimulate curiosity and bring people

to question both the campaign and,

their relationship with their surroundings,

people do not use to seeing advertisements

or propaganda for which the motive is not obvious.

The OBEY mission,

underground yet in-your-face,

has been perpetuated by other street artists

such as Bansky.

The art of the unexpected

reinforces the benefit of simulations

Phenomenology studies structures

of consciousness as experienced

in the world from the first-person point of view,

consciousness is not separated from the body,

and the body is involved in all conscious functions:

“ Our body is in the world as the heart is in the organism,

it is primarily our body that is moved by

rhythm and that resonates with harmony”

- Merleau-Ponty.

Each person/ body has

its cultural and intersubjective differences,

what instantly create a different perspective
on the way things are comprehended.

In the same way as phenomenology in marketing

is an intuitive and organic tool

to permeate in the public while making choices.

Music transcends on the subconscious

s but as an element of cultural exchange,

how do we react to music is based on

our personal background,

ideas, feelings, imagination and,

interaction with the elements

present in the dance floor,

music should not be understood as an entity without

a reciprocal element on the environment.

What image should define dance?

or better said the act of creativity

result of music and inputs

such us inspirational paints, colors,

smells and tastes;

what image will bring the observer

to immediately connect

with the pineal gland and send the stimulus

of dancing as a tool for delayering

what is blocking

at that certain moment our visions,

to move through our body identifying

what part of our magnetic field should be release

and tuned with the rest.

What imagine would deconstruct the moment

of an empty space.

to bring the meaning of creation with music?.

If we could tap into that image

every time we get lost in sadness

and see no point on the intentions

we one day made to our selves.

SHAMANIC DANCE

2017-10-18T10:58:00.001-07:00

DANCE AS HEALING

WITH FERNANDO ARTIGA (Be-longing )

How our deepest dreams and interests attract to our path

the most beautiful and meaningful connections,

to learn from, to explore, to play, to grow, to reflect and to share.

It was 2012 when I attended for the first time
to Lighting in the Bottle Festival,

an amazing gathering of creativity and art, music,
yoga and performance, a fairy world lived
by unreal creatures surrounded by love and high frequencies.

Three days of the best eclectic music, motivational speakers,
life coaches, yoga….

my big discovery of the weekend was Lucent Dossier (Lucent Dossier )

When I saw them on stage performing a combination of Kabuki
and burlesque circus with the super loud dubstep music,

every single pore of my skin was awake
and absorbing the impressive gift of emotions,

I could appreciate the reminiscences of Kagura dancing
present in every character,

as since 10th century has been considered the “God - Entertainment “,

I felt as a Goddess being entertained by the most refined

Shinto performance,

elevated to a transcendental stage of excitement.

“Oracular divination “ and “spirit pacification”
are characteristics of Noh dance,

where a skill or talent is developed by a supernatural being transformed

into a human/hero, integrating masks, costumes, dance, and performance;

emotions conveyed stylized, conventional gestures and

iconic masks representing roles such as ghosts, women, hobgoblins, old people, etc.

When I was a kid, six years old, if you ask me what I wanted to be
as a grown up, my answer was: a trapeze artist!

I loved the life in the circus and being a nomad,

all the romantic and intense relationships between the circus family,

......but my parents wanted me to be

a lawyer and I, as a rebel, studied political sciences. lol

Time passed by and because of not really taking the right decisions

or just because life turns into something we didn’t plan or

get a little bit more hectic to what we expected it was gonna be,

I never got to go to any of the classes that one of Lucent Dossier's members
was teaching at Downtown LA,

although I really wanted for years.

Fernando Artiga ( Be-longing ) started to resonate in the back of my head

after I got to see him in person leading a beautiful
conscious dance class at a Festival,

surrounded by some of the best performers and dancers in the LA scene.

I instantly got attracted to his energy and his methodology leading the group,

as Iwana Masaki describes Butoh:

“ every performance itself has an ultimate expression “

and for Fernando, every dance has not a codified classical technique

rigidly adhered to within an authoritative controlled lineage,

form comes of itself,

only insofar as there is a spiritual content, to begin with.

I met Fernando in person couple of months ago,

after several months of trying to connect back and forth,

he invited me to one of his classes held in Culver City.

It was a fun introduction to his world and a beautiful invitation.

From that day until today we have been engaging in long deep conversations

to try to define with words what is behind the movement,
how do we create a certain energy in a space,

how the vibrations of our own inner being
connects to the profound of the common free will
and resonates with the universe.

Movement in dance, dancing as a pillar for the community to express pain,

love, courage, abandonment, sex, joy, captivity, freedom, dreams, who we are and

who we don’t even know we are.

Movement as a tool to heal from the inside out,

how self-healing is the key to empower our community.

We need the community to mirror ourselves,
we need our dance partners on the dance floor to

learn and reflect from them,
to see the lines of movement created by their bodies
in connection with the rhythm,

to be elevated and moved across the spectrum of possibilities
presented in the outer world,

for many of us, the dance floor is a meditation on movement,
great epiphanies are revealed while dancing,

the slowest you move the best you can see your roots in any feeling,

there are no does and don’ts, right or wrong on the dance floor,

we dance by the influence of the unknown with the highest knowledge,

the more you let go of the patriarch the more you clean the layers of oppression

and happiness occurs as result of freedom.

The Law of Allowing – the state of allowing is the purest state of manifesting.

Allowing things to move without resistance and to evolve and grow naturally.

Allowing yourself to express on its unique way, without judgments, guilt, jealousy, fear;

The Law of Allowing is about accepting and allowing this uniqueness

(as long as they are not hurting others),

instead of resisting others’ distinct paths and expression even if you don’t agree with them.

Another source and reference to what movement and
expression mean to me are the classic french mimetic techniques.

where for the alterations of the nervous system, through fasting, pain,

extreme situations among others,

qualities of movements are produced that are then used
to construct the form and expression of the dance.

I discovered the deep transformative effects of dancing
while I was living in Amsterdam in 1998/99
and took part of one of the most incredible social experiments
I have seen or hear about: The Elf Squat Experiment,
an unreal world created out of dreams, mythology, art, colors, and music,
a lot of music, all kind of music 24/7 in every single breath, mainly psychedelic trance,
a 5 floors building where every corner had its own entity and personality;
a vortex community of artists and people from all over the world
dealing with their light and darkness at 150 bpm ( beats per minute)
.... but I will write about this
in the future another post or maybe more than one: )

WHEN IN DOUBT...DANCE IT OUT.

El Camino, The Way. Part I

2017-06-29T12:35:00.001-07:00

El Camino De Santiago, The Way.

TO BE A PILGRIM, by John Bunyan

What brought me to take the decision of making El Camino this year,

or at least part of it was in the first place a dream :

I woke up at 4 am happy and excited, thinking: Oh yeah, what a great idea,
I am gonna continue wandering while making El Camino.

I texted my good friend Alicia in Spain to ask her if she wants to do it with me,

and thanks to the 9 hours time difference with Europe she responded me almost instantly: YES,

from here on … a new and amazing trip has just started.

In second place was the visit of a hobgoblin,

when I started doubting if it was a good idea,

if my family will get mad at me because I go to visit them

and leave for a week to pilgrimage to Santiago,

if continuing wandering was the answer to my endless thirst for knowledge

….yes a hobgoblin appeared on my way.

How I knew he was one, is a sequence of events :

- I was taking kundalini classes every morning that week

with the great Guru Jagat at RA MA Institute in Venice,

and a big transformation from inside me was taking place,

one of the advantages of kundalini yoga

is how fast you start feeling its benefits,

the continuous chanting of mantras really rewired your brain and emotions,

I was feeling more optimistic and fearless than I can remember

and as if a bright light inside my chest were

warming my soul and telling me that no matter what everything was gonna be ok.

-Continuing with my Shinrin-Yoku therapy after my return from the Redwoods

I was creating that week mini Japanese landscapes with succulents,

using semiprecious stones, shells, and agates from my trips around the world.

Using and buying all kinds of recipients for it, vases, glasses, pots,

Chinese porcelains…creating beauty while healing my self.

-That same morning that this dark character chased me

and crossed my energy field,

I went to Lake Shrine in Sunset Boulevard,

the Self -Realization Fellowship founded in 1920 by Yogananda,

after over an hour meditation on the chapel

protected by all the masters and gurus there represented,

and wanted to add a couple more to the list like DR.Levry from Naam Yoga,

to whom Master Class I attended the day before
and from where I walked out with a backpack full of wise teachings

and one word resonating in my brain: LOVE.

I left the Meditation Gardens with the idea of starting the studies of Yogananda:

-I was happy, feeling love, light, goodness, abundance, wisdom …

I got home and took my dog for a walk in the neighborhood,

I live in Santa Monica close to the Ocean so It is not weird to go for walks…

if someone was making funny faces :)

A block away from my place a saw a sign on the floor reading: Free Plants.

- I looked …and they were all succulents !!!

Like 6 huge pots full of all kinds of them,

I asked the lady who was putting them outside on the sidewalk if

I can go to pick up my car and really get what I want, she said yes of course.

I started walking back to my place and half a block away

I feel someone is walking very close to me,

so I turned around and see this figure dressing all black on a hoodie,

starring at me,

I didn’t even get scared or worried, just kept walking, turned to my front yard and

when I was gonna open the door of my place I turned around and there was him,

10 feet from me, quite, looking.
I tried to look at his face and find his eyes and
an ice cold sensation stubbed my chest,

I felt confronted with the highest darkness,
again I was not scared I thought in a second
…probably a mad homeless, no big deal.

I left my dog inside the house and got into my car to drive pick up the succulents.

While I was turning in my car to the main street I saw him leaving,

almost running in the opposite direction.

I got the succulents and drove back home when suddenly he appeared again,

first at the end of the driveway and in a fraction of a second
again 6 feet from me while I was uploading my trunk,

at this point I got really upset, It wasn’t fear It was anger,

this person was ruining my day, was invading my space

with a discomforting sensation of wrong, so I looked at him at yelled :

What are you looking at? are you stalking me? You want me to call the police?

At this point, he vanished as fast as he had appeared before.

I got inside my place and decided started reading about

Transcendentalism and the Upanishads

which core belief is in the inherent goodness of people and nature,

they have faith that people are at their best

when they truly are “self-reliant “ and independent.

Transcendentalism emphasizes subjective intuition

over objective empiricism and according to R.Waldo Emerson,

American transcendentalism philosopher /essayist 1841:

“ self -reliant is the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false

consistency, and follow their own instincts and ideas.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds “.

At this point, I needed to google, my ignorance of this word,

hobgoblin hit my face :
- Shakespeare: the foul fiend, enemy, darkness, archenemy, puck
-John Bunyan: one of the most significant books in English literature .-
The Pilgrim’s Progress -, from the city of destruction to

Celestial City atop Mount Zion,

where the hobgoblin is coupled with “ a foul fiend”

as two monstrous beings who try but fail to
“ daunt the Pilgrim’ s Spirit “.

“ TO BE A PILGRIM “, commonly known as

“ He who valiant be “,

is the only hymn John Bunyan is credited with writing.

The hymn recalls the words of Hebrews 11:13,

…and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth “ :

1. Who would the valor see
He who would valiant be

Let him inconstancy
Follow the Master

There is no discouragement

Shall make him once relent

His first avowed intent

to be a pilgrim

2. Whoso beset him around

with dismal stories

do but themselves confound

his strength the more is

no foes shall stay his might

though he with giants fight :

he will make good his right

to be a pilgrim

3. Since Lord, thou dust defend

us with thy spirit

we know us at the end

shall life inherit?

Then fancies flee away!

I’ ll fear not what men say,

I’ ll labor night and day to be a pilgrim.

After reading John Bunyan’s Hymn no more doubts came to me,
the decision of walking The Way was done and now I knew why,

It was the continuity of a path already started as wander.

The mud of the lotus flower
