Gorka


Gorka reccomends an excellent video from the String to the Universe

uy uy uy , look at this please, mira esto por favor viaje cosmico, iumperdible guaug

Gorka from Argentina, now lives in Spain recommends us a video which we can see the total scale from the minimum size of String to the maximum size of the Universe.
The smallest size in the Universe which is called Plankh lenghth is the size of the String.
It is 0.000000000000000000000000000000000001m.
Please crick the link bellow, and handle the tab at the bottom.
The left edge is the world of String. When you move it toward the right, there are huge wide erea which nothing appears until the quark realm. Above of this the resonance pattern of the String generate the matter.
Bellow of this size, the resonance pattern of the String generate not matter, but qualia.
Qualia is invisible and only Life can resonante.
This is the Qualia realm which the resonance pattern of the String generate subtle world which is not material.
Slowly move it toward the right. You can see each defferent world by the defference of size of the matter..
We must notice that how narrow world we can recognize and are bound by the narrow reality of our dayly world.
Almost world is unknown realm which we cannot recognize yet.
But Life can resonante these subtle qualia for these four billion years.
The Abyss of Life connects to these unknown worlds.
When we become Life by stopping to be Human, we can feel the Abyss of Life.
Where is the Abyss?
Here!
Life is always resonating with the Abyss which has various resonance pattern of the String.
Let's open fully our imagination to the maximum.
Thakn you very much Gorka!

3.  Summer 2012 Subbody Butoh Workshop

Subbody Butoh – Dance of Life

8 weeks workshop with Kats D

Subbody Butoh Method was developed by Rhizome Lee, a Japanese Butoh practitioner. “Subbody” means subconscious body. In the subconscious realm, away from the boundary of ego and daily consciousness, our mind and body melt into oneness and create world that is completely different from daily world. Though various conditioning techniques, a Subbody Butoh practitioner creates movements through exploring the subconscious realm. For more information about Subbody Butoh Method, please go to: www.subbody.net

This workshop will focus on the essential aspects of Subbody Butoh:

• Quiet down the daily consciousness and listen to the subtle body signals.
• Go beyond our physical, psychological and social bounds in order to create movements that are novel and unique to the individual body.
• Develop Subbody movements through opening eight channels (body feeling, movement, visual, audio, emotion, relationship, world-self image and thinking).
• Explore movements through Hidden Body (Hidden Skin, Hidden Muscle, Hidden Joints, etc)
• Through the Life Resonance with other Subbodies, become Co-body.

This workshop requires no dance experience.  Anyone who would like to explore his or her hidden creative potentials is welcome!

4.  Now accepting Shiatsu appointments for February

Shiatsu is a healing bodywork originated in Japan.  Shiatsu restores one’s self-healing ability by balancing one’s vital energy (Ki).

Through applying pressure to various parts of the body, the practitioner treats one’s meridian (pathways for Ki). 

Shiatsu is beneficial as a treatment for a chronic illness as well as a preventative or recreational remedy. Shiatsu enhances one’s holistic health.

*Shiatsu is practiced lying on the floor with the clothes on.  Please wear loose comfortable clothes.
