Whisper of a Promising Future

Whisper of a Promising Future To more easily read the article with embedded links, go to http://www.michaelpicucciblog.net: I recently received a pleasant summer surprise from Dr. Jacqueline A. Carleton, a New York-based therapist who works extensively in Europe. Her review of the Focalizing monograph, in the Summer 2010 issue of the European Association for Body Psychotherapy follows:

Yes We Can

YES WE CAN Unless We Believe We Can’t or We Don’t Want To H B Gelatt If you think you can, you might. If you think you can’t you’re right. Recent polls have shown that 71% of the American public believes that the direction the world is heading is not where we want to go. Do we believe we can change the direction the world is heading? Do we want to? How much influence does our collective worldview have on the quality of our future?

After Labor Day

IMG_3370 Let's drink to the hard working people Let's drink of the lowly of birth Raise your glass to the good and the evil Let's drink to the salt of the earth ~ Mick Jagger, Keith Richards As this site still exists, and its ultimate demise has been passionately addressed by Chris Lowe and Filip, I must, I must, I must write a 'shoot from the hip' tribute here this morning. I've not been able to venture on to investigate the new IONS site. And my membership shall likely be canceled before long. Here's my premise, folks, friends, and reptilians. The work is over. THIS is the world we have created!

Communions

GaiaStar Room

Note from artists Bonnie Gold Bell and David Sun Todd: In 1998, artists Bonnie Bell and David Todd began to meditate on the emergence of global being. When we see ourselves as human-spirit cells in a conscious, living world, how does that change our awareness and our bodies? Out of this meditation, we created a series of 64 images and text called The GaiaStar Codex: Seeds of a Turned-on World. In this slide show you’ll read phrases from the Codex mixed with mandalas and goddess icons from the Codex and some of our other visual series.

Thich Nhat Hahn Room

A Monestary bell rings three times to begin this meditation, led by Thich Nhat Hahn, to music from “Graceful Passages� by Gary Malkin and Michael Stillwater. This room is about transmuting suffering into heart understanding and mindfulness.

Shakuhachi Room

A Shakuhachi flute wafts across a natural landscape as inspiring words from James O’Dea hypnotically call visitors into deeper resonance with self and others.
