CHING-A-LINGs Aperol Spritz & AFRO MOSES

This morning I woke up vague, my body is aching, wanting so badly for the taste of  Aperols Spritz to leave my mouth, I stumbled out of bed reading my 16 random txts to freinds and family, one being my boss!  Ooops, why do I punish myself I wonder???

Last night after dinner with my vivacious freinds we marched up to cool ambience of Chin-a-Lings our fav underground bar with gritty brick walls and rendered concrete sprayed with images of skeletons and lit by cages of old light bulbs. Like the interiors, the crowd oozes hipness, sitting on low couches and tall bar stools, chatting and grooving to the vintage music. Our luck in rolling dices won us lethal cocktails. 3 Aperol Spritz's later. We were heavily intoxicated and craved a beat of a different kind, we decided Afro Moses would hit the spot!

When you go to see Afro Moses doing his thing...you can expect passion, colour, energy, powerful messages, dancing and a sense that you've just witnessed something deeply special....
 
Born in Ghana, Afro Moses hit the charts as a teenager and is labelled as The African James Brown. Later, he was taken to Denmark and had the Danes lapping up his infectious music. From there, he started touring the world and has stunned audiences right across the globe and last night I had the priviledge of dancing with him! Spoilt with fun nites like this, life just does not get  any better!

Sydney's ARTISAN's in Silver Factory Style!

We threw a warehouse party inspired by Andy Warhol Silver Factory Movement.
Casa Del Bra Collective show cased some of their melodic accoustic set,  it was one I will hold true to my heart!

Think back to the true swinging sixities. Underbelly at its best with Warhol and his gang of 'superstars' hanging lose, getting high and pushing back the bounderies of art at their Silver Factory studio in the heart of New York.

I enjoyed the creative process wth my design team.  Producing Warhol's creative soup were based on boiling down the image. Finding impact in the most mundane of visuals and putting it through his reproctive, pschadelic mill at the Factory.

Portraits of Marilyn, Campbells and Bananas were just part of Warhol's world with fashion, photography, collage and print being staple media to enhance and encapsulate.

He would hang out with the likes of the Stones, Dylan, Edie Sedgewick, The Velvet Underground. Warhol and his entourage's decadence recently portraied in the Sienna Miller film; Factory Girl.

Warhols art was about inclusivenes and as much of its energy is about the coming together of creatives, wasters, models and musicians to participate in the process of the Factory and coin some of the most prominent images and lifestyle statements of the era.

On the night, we created the Silver Factory in the heart of Sydney. There was donated art installations, music and performances to entertain throughout the night. The theme was true sixties glamour in excess, glitz, grit, artisan, excuberant and freaky. An expression of an anthetamine fuelled, ground breaking and intoxicating Pop Art factory was alive and well in winterlicious 12th June 2011.

Celebrating with so many talented and like minded freinds uniting in artistic spirit reminded of how lucky I really am!

The Science behind healing with chi energy

"The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the

       same level of thinking with which we created them"

      

 Albert Einstein

The Science Behind Intergactive Medicine

There is much documentary evidence regarding acupoints and meridians as being fundamental to the body’s energetic system and consequently its critical importance for our health. Acupoints are surfactant voltage ramps located on the surface of the body that occur along paths known as meridians that can be used with great success to affect the movement and distribution of energy, or qi in the body. By generating a bio electric field, we are able to use these points with far greater impact/potential than that offered by traditional acupuncture. Combined with additional and specific knowledge of the Energetic and physiological systems, we are able to successfully treat disease processes in the body in an accurate and succinct way that potentiates the body’s own innate healing ability.

There exists a four fold definition of bio-energetic medicine’s utilisation of the meridian and acupoint structures: the consideration of the physical and energetic structure of the organ associated with the meridian, the specific physiological function of the organ, the specific electro-magnetic pathway and lastly - the emotional-vibrational interaction of the organ. All four are critical to the healthy functioning of the meridian and its associated organ system. Each organ not only has a specific physical function but a specific electro-magnetic field that influences - and is influenced by our emotions & attitudes, our health and our outlook. It is due to this, that treatment and therapeutic procedures utilising the meridians and other energetic structures are highly successful in the holistic treatment of the body.

"The trauma of an event is set in place virtually instantly, in a fraction of a second before our self awareness can notice it. Years later, energetic regulatory systems continue to scan for this section of held energy roughly 10 times per second (with each brain wave). Remarkably, stored trauma can be resolved as quickly as it was set in place."  Dr Caroline Thomas

EVERY ORGAN, EVERY CELL, EVERY THOUGHT HAS A FREQUENCY. EVERYTHING IS AFFECTED BY ENERGETIC FREQUENCIES.

"Cells have the ability to retain the memory of emotional states. This ‘holding ‘of emotion comes about through blocking the emotion. This holding pattern of cellular memory comes about through the blocking the emotion associated and connected with the pain and trauma and is affected by our attitudes and beliefs. On a cellular level, particular emotions can also cause changes in the rate of conductivity of certain nutrients of the cell. Emotions affect this base process through the release of chemicals which alter the ionic (electrical) conductivity of the cell membrane. This emotional blocking of certain nutrients predisposes the body to particular illnesses."  Kevin Farrow

Distortions in Frequencies or Energetic States cause disease. The application of precise frequencies and the correction of our thought processes (frequencies) helps the body to heal itself. Our bodies are a system of electro-magnetic domains (or energy fields) that continuously oscillate between our original blueprint and our current physiological form. Each organ has a particular set of frequencies associated with it and carries a specific angle or axial relationship to the energetic meridians of the body. Whereas meridians join acupoints, axiatonal lines – our other ‘energetic electrical system‘-join magnetic domains of areas of influence in our body. The axiatonal lines interface with our biology on a cellular level. Axiatonal lines are not new and Energetic Practitioners have been working with these structures for many years. What the 5^thdimensional frequencies of Reconnective healing can facilitate is the appropriate re-connection of these lines with respect to our evolving energetic physiology. It is known that the ‘axiatonal lines are part of a 5^thdimensional circulatory system’ which our bodies are moving into, combining intricate and specific additional frequencies or colour and tonal representations of sound and sequences of sacred geometry.

Our biological energetic connection to the Universal grid was lost many thousands of years ago. The Reconnection, brought into our three dimensional existence by Dr Eric Pearl, is a process that uses 5^thdimensional frequencies that reconnect, stabilise and integrate these lines into our body structure. With this, the body’s magnetic resonance capabilities are enhanced – not only in terms of healing but in their critical evolution in line with the interdimensional progression of the earth towards the 2012 timeline. The 5^thdimensional frequencies of the Reconnection correct all the holographic representations of our energetic bodies thru the immersion in highly specific bio-photonic frequencies and rotational alignments. The immersion of the body in 5^thdimensional frequencies can have outstanding and unanticipated effects and results - the physical body and its vibrational structure is transformed allowing access to higher vibrational frequecies and energies.

Energy Balancing and Realignment Techniques.

 

TAOIST CIRCULATION OF THE LIGHT

The Circulation of the Light stimulates the two main circulating reservoirs of energy in the body known in TCM as the Governing and Conception vessels. The whole of our energetic system is fed energy from the circulation of these two channels. When these two energetic vessels are blocked or compromised a myriad of physical problems can take hold in the body. As well as impacting on our overall energy levels, The C of L strengthens our immune system and is excellent for colds and flu, poor circulation, after extensive periods of illness,  fatigue & stress related conditions and the physical impact of jetlag.

 

ENERGETIC LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

Removes physical lymph blockages and stimulates the natural circulation of the body’s lymphatic system. This procedure rejuvenates and boosts the body’s immune system. It is excellent for sluggish metabolism, continuous flu type symptoms, detoxification, lethargy, post operative procedures and the impact of long periods of stress on the body.

  

SACRAL RE-ALIGNMENT

A particularly powerful energetic procedure that clears energetic blockages resulting in congestion in the region of  the lower spine, the hips and legs. This procedure is used to alleviate pain in the lumbar-sacral area, stiffness and heaviness in the legs and menstrual disorders.

 

LIVER CLEANSE

This energetic procedure specifically clears congestion out of the liver helping this important organ to immediately detoxify and assist in rejuvenation on a cellular level. The liver is the only organ in the body that can ‘regrow’ itself.  This health impacting energetic process is highly beneficial for all, but is particularly important for those who suffer from low energy levels, ‘not the best kind of lifestyle’, suffer from  depression, have constant levels of frustration & anger or have physical problems with the liver.

 

ENERGY CENTRE BALANCING

The chakra system is the body’s interface between the various fields that exist around the body and the meridian system. We open these important energetic gates to increase the energetic flow, and to address imbalances that can exist in them individually & also between them - as energetic correspondences. Unlike other chakra balancing techniques, this procedure is more precise and has a more lasting effect as well as an immediate feeling of unifying the mind and the body. This is a deeply calming and energising balance making it highly beneficial in times of emotional stress or as a pre cursor to other aspects of energetic treatment.

 

 

REVERSE SACRAL BALANCE

This balance, along with individualised treatment sessions helps women with chronic menstrual disorders and is also highly recommended for infertility or pre-pregnancy clearing of the pelvic region. It also assists men and women in the resolving of congestion in the sexual organs (loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility) bladder problems and other issues occurring in the sacral area. This balance opens up the area known in TCM as the Conception vessel which influences our reproductive system and in doing so assists in the removal of blockages which may be impacting on the functioning of this area.

 

PELVIC RE-ALIGNMENT

A common check for a pelvis out of alignment is a comparative check of leg length. Physical manipulation of the area will have little if any lasting effect. What is required is a resolution of the energetic congestion affecting the muscles causing the tension leading to skeletal misalignment. A pelvis out of alignment can cause pain in the coccyx, lower back pain, sciatic pain from the hip down the leg, as well as creating problems in pregnancy. This balance is a safe and effective treatment that can address problems caused by  pelvic mis-alignment and is also ideal as a pre-pregnancy preparation treatment.

THE RECONNECTION

 

The Reconnection is the process of reconnecting our axiatonal lines or light body meridians with the universal energy grid, thus allowing access to higher vibrational frequencies and energies.

 

The use of channelled 5^thdimensional frequencies is not a technique as such, it is an energetic transension utilising very specific and varying channelled frequencies that act on cellular and tissue structure affecting an overall change that far exceeds the impaction on our physical three dimensional body. When combined within the structural constraints of Energetic Medicine – phenomenal results can be achieved. The body is immersed within bio-photonic emissions or quantum based frequencies and is then able to instigate and support an appropriate healing for itself. What is essentially happening is a type of ‘whole body entrainment’.

 

Sessions often encompass visionary experiences, an alleviation of physical ailments or the ascension to a more positive outlook, which in its self potentiates healing within the body.

 

For those wishing to undertake the Reconnection (ie the process of reconnecting our axiatonal or light body meridian system) as a specific energetic life changing protocol – the result is often that you are accelerated onto your Life’s path, sometimes at a rate faster than one feels comfortable with but always with a change in consciousness. It is the re-connection of your mind, your energetic and physical bodies with Spirit that will impact on every aspect of your very being.

Nidra

Mantra Nidra meditations are held on the first Monday of each month at Govinda's Lotus room. For me it was the ultimate chill out experience. A beautiful journey taking me far, far away from the harsh realities that city living brings. This form of meditation provides the perfect mid week escape from the cares and worries of my racing mind, finacial hardships and more recently a relationship breakup. I needed to find my sacred space, I like how this yoga combines sleep and breathing two things I do really well! What to expect: Set in the tranquil, candle lit Lotus Room with the soothing sound of the fountain's running water, one lies down on the soft blankets, close one's eyes and drifts away.

6:15 - Doors open for a relaxation chill out music experience 6:45 - 7:00pm - Meditation through music for peace & tranquility 7:00 - 7:20pm - deep rest/relaxation - meditation for the body & mind 7:20 - 7:30 - Pranayama (meditation of the breath) for harmonizing & balancing the life airs & energy flows 7:30 - 7:50 - Silent mantra meditation to journey within & experience the beauty of the inner self 7:50 - 8:00 - Re-entry musical sacred sounds Drift away, and wake up to a new found peace that radaints inside you....

Yoga Nidra:
Yogic Conscious Deep Sleep

Yoga Nidra brings an incredible calmness, quietness and clarity. Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest of all meditations, leading awareness through many levels of mental process to a state of supreme stillness and insight. The descriptions in the article below can be difficult to understand. With patient and thorough reading, the understanding is well worth the effort, allowing you to see the profound depth of Yoga Nidra, which is far beyond just relaxation. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes it takes thousands of words to get the inner "aha" of the meaning. Most important of all, it is the persistent practice that brings the real joy of the practice of Yoga Nidra, as with all useful practices in life and Yoga.

Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep. It is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In Meditation, you remain in the Waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in Yoga Nidra, you leave the Waking state, go past the Dreaming state, and go to Deep Sleep, yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras, the deep impressions that are the driving force behind Karma.

Yoga Nidra has been known for thousands of years by the sages and yogis. Of the three states of consciousness of Waking, Dreaming and Deep Sleep, as expounded in the Upanishads, particularly the Mandukya Upanishad, Yoga Nidra refers to the conscious awareness of the Deep Sleep state, referred to as prajna in Mandukya Upanishad. This is the third of the four levels of consciousness of AUM mantra, relating to the state represented by the M of AUM. The four states are Waking, Dreaming, sleep, and turiya, the fourth state. The state of Yoga Nidra, conscious Deep Sleep, is beyond or subtler than the imagery and mental process of the Waking and Dreaming states. As a state of conscious Deep Sleep, Yoga Nidra is a universal principle, and is not the exclusive domain of any more recent teachers or traditions.
