Nias,East Sumatra,Indonesia

Bila kita membicarakan nias maka langsung pikiran kita akan membayangkan seorang pria berpakaian adat setempat sedang melayang di atas seonggok batu yang disusun setinggi lebih dari 2 meter. Atraksi lompat batu atau fahombo merupakan sebuah andalan pariwisata dari pulau nias. Membicarakan hal ini mau tidak mau kita harus kembali kepada sejarah panjang perjalanan budaya masyarakat nias.…

Levels of Meditation...

by Katinka Hesselink

Levels of Meditation: relaxation, concentration, contemplation, awareness…

My friend Richard's asking: How do you usually distinguish contemplation from meditation?

I’d say contemplation is a type of meditation: a type with more thought than most. To explain the matter as well as I understand it (can’t do better than that after all), I think I have to categorize… Continue

Can Peace and Harmony Actually Heal the World?

by Philip D'Arbanville

Could it be that the world relies on humans to think clearly - and in harmony - for its survival? The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) at Princeton University just may prove that the Morphogenetic Field Theory is more than pseudoscience. Based on a hypothesis developed by English scientist Rupert Sheldrake, which was influenced by Carl Jung's controversial theory of the Collective Unconscious, the GCP aims to prove that all of mankind is connected… Continue

Environmental Racism Transforms Swinomish Teens

by Philip D’Arbanville and Nicole Kidder

Three years ago, the choice between doing time in a teen detention center for drug possession or shooting a film seemed like an easy one to Cody Cayou (Swinomish), Nick Clark (Grand Ronde/Swinomish) and Travis Tom (Swinomish/Lummi). The boys envisioned meeting girls while creating a rap video or maybe even a gangsta…

"Ayurveda Healing Through the Eastern India Tragedy" by Philip D'Arbanville

Lest we forget the madness in Mumbai, India, which tore at the very fabric of our collective hearts as we witnessed the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel burning up in flames, India still mourns the innocent lives lost during that killing spree. And the world is still recovering, wondering how it is going to heal in the wake of these continuing terrorist attacks.

Mumbai’s Jewish Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis spoke through tears in Israel of their shared mourning. Mutual victims, they had nine of their… Continue

"Movement Awareness & Martial Arts" by Suze Angel,M.A.,Feldenkrais Practitioner

My own interest in the Feldenkrais MethodSM was sparked by my desperate need for the work. A fall on the ice left me disabled with a low back injury. After following the usual medical and chiropratic treatment for nine months with only occasional alleviation of pain, one lesson in Functional Integration* gave me a sense of well-being that bordered on euphoria. I knew immediately that I needed as much of that feeling as I could get and embarked on a quest for Feldenkrais that eventually led me… Continue

"The Quest for Vision" by Eileen Joyce

I think everyone remembers their first vision quest so vividly because it marks such a dramatic shift in their experience on the spiritual path. Before I attempted my first quest in 1982, I had already been on a very disciplined and focused spiritual path for over ten years. I had already done long fasting and taken long spiritual retreats. Couple this background with a lifetime love of nature and time spent out of doors and I felt I was primed for the quest experience.

However, my… Continue
