      <title>Enhance your life's dance with Reiki</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/ancientfutures/thread/8c984247-9512-4a8b-96a2-2a7ce902df68</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello wonderful you,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I hope this email finds you grinning!!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a reminder of our upcoming Reiki class!
&lt;br/&gt;Consider being part of the awesome team
&lt;br/&gt;of people gaining access to the gentle power of Reiki.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Reiki:
&lt;br/&gt;(pronounced ray-key) is an internationally recognized Japanese method of
&lt;br/&gt;hands-on stress release. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;By learning how to use Reiki you will be taking your life to the next level.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * release excess tension and pain
&lt;br/&gt;    * gain clarity and insight into troubling situations
&lt;br/&gt;    * resolve frustration
&lt;br/&gt;    * make decisions with greater ease
&lt;br/&gt;    * cultivate self-trust
&lt;br/&gt;    * expand your awareness
&lt;br/&gt;    * build upon what you are already good at
&lt;br/&gt;    * relax and restore on a regular basis
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How many other ways could benefit from having direct access to complete relaxation and re-balance?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In the Reiki Level 1 class you will learn:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * How to use Reiki for yourself and others
&lt;br/&gt;    * Traditional hand positions for Reiki treatments
&lt;br/&gt;    * Who the real healer is
&lt;br/&gt;    * How to get out of your own way
&lt;br/&gt;    * How to get the energy flowing
&lt;br/&gt;    * Probably a sweet song or two
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Never studied Reiki before? Reiki level 1 is the place to start.
&lt;br/&gt;Taken Reiki classes before? Reiki level 1 can be a great refresher,
&lt;br/&gt;give you greater insight into your Reiki connection, and harmonize with your previous learnings.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Next Reiki Level 1 Weekend Workshop:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;November 2, 3 &amp;amp; 4, 2007
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * (Friday 7 pm -9 pm, Saturday 10 am-4 pm,  Sunday 10 am -4 pm) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Nutritious and delicious lunch provided on Saturday and Sunday
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Tuition: $175 ($50 deposit upon registration)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;    * Taught by the incredible Robin Gillmor
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(Reiki Master/Teacher, NLP practitioner, and facilitator of fun and transformation)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Think of what you'll learn and how you will grow!!
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Kundalini Dance Facilitator training experience</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/ancientfutures/thread/5fcc42a1-45b0-4701-80f4-5db15f61256a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;This past October/November of 2006 I traveled down south through the rushing mayhem of the I5 to frogwood lodge retreat center…where the first ever North American Kundalini Dance facilitator training program with Leyolah Antara founder of www.kundalini-dance.com was to be born. (organized by Luna....blessings to this sister)
&lt;br/&gt;A 12 day adventure of movement, breath, sound and unconditional love. Embarking upon a deep introspective journey of the chakras……….discovering the shadowing and embracing it with the light.
&lt;br/&gt;Returning home, re-connecting to friends, family and tribe, what I thought would be familiar was so foreign. The reflection I saw of myself through my community had completely shifted……..who am i???? who are you????
&lt;br/&gt;i am having remembrances of how my perception of the world did a complete 360 and continued to spin after birthing my daughter and experiencing my celestial body relating to the world as “mother”……
&lt;br/&gt;I have rebirthed myself as a new born child in this global Paradise Matrix called earth.
&lt;br/&gt;Welcome to the collective, i feel more at home inside of my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body than ever before........
&lt;br/&gt;Appreciation to all of you who are on this path and doing the work for global consciousness.......whatever affects one of us affects all of us......gratitude to all of you for affecting me so positively........
&lt;br/&gt;we are on a planetary mission as carriers of higher consciousness to carry on these ascending vibrational frequencies.........
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;.yummmmmmmy!!!!
&lt;br/&gt;ahlye
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;currently i am in my practicum mode of the kundalini dance  training......and am not yet certified to teach this map..........

      <title>didgeridu sound therapy testimonial by Lee Masters</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/ancientfutures/thread/72e87342-dc46-4d53-b8f0-223c19380e34</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I lie down and make myself comfortable on a thin mat on the floor, covering my body with a blanket, my head pointing to the middle of the room.  Others are doing the same.  We’re about to embark on an inner adventure together.  Some people I know, others I don’t.  I feel into the settling energy of the room, connecting with each person.  I feel into the two being s who have offered to shepherd the way and feel blessed and confident in their care.  At the onset of this journey, I’m aware of the vastness of my inner landscape and praise myself for giving myself this nourishment.  I give gratitude for this opportunity, my surroundings, my gentle guides, my earthly sustainer, anchor, body.  My breath settles.  As sounds begin to enter and build in the space, I realize I am losing the sense of functioning in the world of responsibility and being in charge of my thoughts and feelings at the mercy of accomplishment and keeping the status quo. I am set free.  I am immersed in ancient sounds that don’t make sense and that are inhibiting my sinking into the mundane patterns that usually persist.  These sounds are stimulating me, prodding me, making me uncomfortable within my external comfort, almost forcing me to stay connected to informative sensations in my body that I can’t help but pay attention to. I’m getting a little worked up and the sensation is getting more localized.  The sounds aren’t subsiding and I have to accept and stay connected to the discomfort, breathing with it, seeing it, caressing it as I would my distraught child.  And then ………….. the ancient haunting sound of the didj booms into my inner world and seems to dive right in the middle of the build-up of sensation.  I break open.  I fountain, erupt, flow into cascading fragments of melting feelings, love pouring from my chest and pooling, pooling, filling the whole room and more, out into the land, the trees, the sky, the universe.  The didj sounds keep pumping that melt and love and now the shepherds are at my side, power washing me with sound, turning each cell of my being into a quivering platelet that dances, transforms and eventually settles into a new order and why had I done all that hard work to contain these inexpressible feelings ?  I’m so soft and delicious now.  I’m tingling all over. My human Soul fills with compassion for what it is to be human, to feel so much.  I love my shepherds.  I love all of you in the room, even if I don’t remember your name.  I love my family, my community my whole world. I feel humbled and whole.  We circle, we share. I want to tell you about my journey but words are hard right now.  I’ll try a few just to let you in.  Like dreams, these journey are sometimes more vivid than others and, having allowed myself to delve into a more powerful journey this time, my healing can be more accessible next time.  And our world needs us to be healing!

&lt;br/&gt;"Just like people in indigenous cultures know, we can move more energy together in community than we can alone.  Live music created in the moment with beautiful tribal instruments combined with the subtle, inspiring guidance from Ahyle paves the way for a journey together where, in a gentle atmosphere of ever-growing mutual trust, we move our bodies in our own way, our own dance.  Yet, enhanced by the presence of others in the space, we reach deeper and deeper levels of attuning, unravelling and transforming, busting out of our patterns, masks, armour and allowing us to unveil and find anew that beautiful authentic being craving to fully awaken and emerge." .......

&lt;br/&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~KUNDALINI DANCE PRACTICUM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
&lt;br/&gt;Currently I am in the Practicum stage of my training and am required to teach an eight week course using the Kundalini Map.
&lt;br/&gt;We will be focusing on one Chakra a week, beginning with an intro class. I am running the class by donation only as i am not certified to teach yet. 
&lt;br/&gt;I will be journeying back to California in March, for a follow up and completion of the training with Leyolah and return home (hopefully) certified as a Kundalini dance Facilitator.

&lt;br/&gt;*use movemnet, breath and sound to purify the energy body, release old stagnant energy that is no longer serving us and achieve higher states of consciousness
&lt;br/&gt;* purify and clear emotional energy that is blocking the chakras and open up the pathways to ecstasy and bliss.  
&lt;br/&gt;*exploring the issues of survival, sexuality, personal power, life work, relationships, love, creativity, communication, and intuition
&lt;br/&gt;"Activate the physical body, purify the emotional body, re-align the mental body and merge with the divine vibrational oscillations of the spiritual body
&lt;br/&gt;Dancing through the chakras is the exploration of your core energetic patterning, inspiring a dance of release, a dance of elemental balance and beauty, a dance of insight, a dance of self-healing and transformation, a dance of ecstatic celebration.
&lt;br/&gt;Each chakra inspires a totally different style of movement, and focuses on opening different body parts." ....Leyolah Antara

He creates a unique, intimate drumming experience, teaching us in such a way that the rhythms deepen into our very bones.  Over time, he brings out of us clearer and clearer sounds, enabling us to make beautiful, sensitive and dynamic music together that we have begun to fully embody. " ......Lee Masters
