Out beyond ideas of wrong doings and right doings
there are fields . I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in the grass
the world too full to talk about
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make sense.

Rumi

Thank you to all my Students and Teachers for an amazing year of dance, movement, good health, and the celebration of Life. Mostly,  the joy you bring for me when I watch your faces light up when you see me. Breath in each day as a celebration to be savored and cherished. I'll look forward to seeing you all in the new Year

What is Jin Shin Do Acupressure? December 2010

Jin Shin Do Bodymind Acupressure is s synthesis of:

~ Traditional Japanese Finger Pressure

~ Classical Chinese Five Element Acupuncture Theory

~ Reichian Segmental Theory

~ Taoist Philosophy

~ Qigong Exercises & Breathing

~ Western Psychotherapy

Acupressure is a 5000 year old system of healing which uses finger pressure to integrate the body, mind and spirit. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory there is a Life Force called Qi energy. This bio-energy is scientifically measurable. Qi flows through our body in 12 main channels like an interconnected system of rivers. These channels are called "meridians"

When the energy in our meridians is flowing smoothly we feel balanced and healthy. When certain points are congested, some meridians are blocked and we experience pain, sickness and /or emotional distress. Holding acupressure points frees blocked energy like removing debris in a river. This alleviates the tension and discomfort and the body begins to heal itself.

A example of an imbalance of the HEART MERIDIAN is accompanied by depression and anxiety. When the HEART MERIDIAN is flowing freely, we are able to experience happiness, self-confidence, and compassion.

What you can expect from a session of acupressure is a feeling of deep relaxation, and alternative to pain killers and other drugs, the ability to help your body heal itself, a confidential space and supportive assistance to process emotional confusion.

Introductory Classes of Acupressure are starting in January in the Wellness Center

Blessings to All for a Wonderful & Compassionate

Celebration of Life for Wendy November 28, 2010

It was an honor and privilage to dance for a dear friend and great teacher ~ Wendy ~ 

Her life was devoted to service and many humanitarian causes. Her spirit was one of nurturing, inclusion and lifted so many of us up when we were down. She walked the walk of patience, spiritual devotion, and life practice of peace. I would not be here without her continued love, loyality and committment to our friendship these last 24 years. Knowing you has been an honor and one of the greatest blessings of my life.

 

The Sheikh ordered, "Bring drums
for my funeral, and tambourines and dancers.

Carry me into the street with laughter

and joy, so that everyone will see how

the people of God go to God and how

death is cause for song and celebration.

“This death is like lovers whispering."

Everyone obeyed this order, and there was

no hypocrisy in the delight that day.
