Are you ready to experience a different kind of massage?

Phenomenal Touch Massage will leave you deeply moved in body, mind, spirit and heart. When you emerge from a massage session you will feel your aliveness and compassion. You will know you have been deeply moved in your body because phenomenal touch makes you feel so natural. You will feel at home and safe and hopefully willing to accept your body just the way it is. You will feel like yourself and do not feel the need to pretend to be anything different. You will see the human sides of your mind and spirit. You will be in a place where fear does not come into play. When you sense your physical heart/chest area, it feels full and open. In that moment of pure love, you have the choice to either send it back deep inside all parts of your own being and smile in the acknowledgment that you are open in your heart center, or you can choose to consciously share your heart opening.

Gemini New Moon Dance and Drumming Circle Monday May 26, 2014

Gemini

Artist Judith Olson

Dear Friends who love to Dance and Drum in Community!

Your body is an excellent compass to let an inspiration live through you! The spiritual goal of Gemini is the development of perception, thought, and communication. This New Moon marks a still point, a brief pause before we catch the next wave of evolutionary energies streaming in from our solar system, galaxy and beyond. Come dance and drum. Monday May 26, 2014 at High Mountain Hall from 7:00 – 8:30, cost $15. Please RSVP this email and arrive on time……

Stephanie Austin of Mountain Astrology writes about the human brain having approximately 100 billion neurons, which generates enough energy to turn on a 25 watt light bulb. We have about 70,000 thoughts per day. Each new thought creates new connections, the deeper the pathway becomes. Long-term stress can weaken our brain’s ability to learn and remember. Women and men are disconnected from their bodies. According to neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, in his book Buddha’s Brain, if you change your brain, you change your life. The flow of our thoughts sculpts our brain, and through meditation and pleasure exercises, we can rewire our brain for both greater physical well-being and peace of mind. To let inspiration live through you, you must. 1. Inhabit your body and 2. Clear away negative distractive mental and physical clutter. 3. Invite touch into your body.

At this New Moon, Mercury, the traditional ruler of Gemini, is at 29 degrees 34’ Gemini; Venus the esoteric ruler of Gemini, is at 29 degrees 39” Aries. The 29th degree of a sign is a critical degree, symbolizing the necessity of completing the spiritual goal of that sign before advancing to the next. The spiritual goal of Gemini (And all Human beings) is the development of perception, thought and communication. The spiritual goal of Aries is the development of initiative, courage, and action. Venus’s association with love, beauty, and the heart reminds us that our feelings are not separate from our thoughts, and that what we think with more than our heads. Our heart communicates with our brain in 4 ways: through the nervous system. Hormone circulation, (Ladies are you in touch with your sexual centers?), blood pressure waves and electromagnetic communication. Neuroradiology research shows that there are 40, 000 sensory neurons relaying information to the brain from the heart and genital stimulation from the pelvic nerves and these neurons activate parts of the cerebral cortex, and these areas also relate to different functions and emotional centers. Bad sex – inattentive sex with a selfish or distracted partner – is actually chemically dispiriting and damaging psychologically to women in a way that is different from men’s experience. Physical ailments can be traced to psychological issues. Stress is the new crack!

From mid-May to mid-June, Chiron forms a water grand trine with Jupiter and Saturn, facilitating a stronger linking of head and heart. Grand trines promote insight creativity, and a sense of ease; a grand trine in water deepens our capacity for healing, intimacy, and intuition, which helps to resolve the challenges of the recent grand cross from the Libra Lunar Eclipse.

Join the tribe! Come dance and drum and celebrate the organic wholeness of human relationship: valuing ourselves, valuing love and beauty, valuing the Earth.

See you on the Dance floor. Like us on FB, Share with friends, bring friends, bring drums and rattles. Dance your change!!!

Foldform jewelry and sculpture

Can jewelry be more than decoration, adornment, enhancement, self-expression?
Jewelry can carry intentional vibration for healing.
AntjeRoitzsch can work with you to create your own unique piece of jewelry carrying the intentional healing vibration just for you.

The technique used in these jewelry and sculptural pieces is called fold forming, developed by Charles Lewton-Brain.
Antje Roitzsch used to do those and similar pieces in the technique of anticlastic raising, when she worked with Michael Good Des. for 15 years.
More of Antje’s work can be found at http://www.VisualArtsMaine.com

Creating Art can be healing.  Observing, interacting with Art can be healing as well.  Antje Roitzsch’s sculptures are created to be touched, and this way appreciated and understood on many different levels.

Her intuitive drawings are a way to tap into the creative process.  They also are a tool to express feelings and process the state of the here and now.

Antje walks through nature with her camera as part of her meditative practice.

Jewelry forging class

Antje Roitzsch will be teaching a Metal Forging class at the Maine Beehive, starting tomorrow, September 25 at 6pm.

Here is the link to register to the class

Metal is malleable, it can move like clay. Its diameter can be spread apart, compressed, twisted or bent. We will explore the possibilities and have fun getting used to hammer and anvil, working in copper. Ear- or pin-wires and clasps can be incorporated as part of the design. No prior experience is needed

New installation at the Maine Beehive

I am so excited thinking of tomorrow!

Charles Duvall will come by and install one of his sculptural wing creations on the outside of the beehive.  He showed up with a model today.  I was tempted to post the model picture, but I think the real thing is going to look even better and so I will wait to post pictures when it is all installed.

I just had to share this…..
