YOGA FESTIVAL TERSCHELLING

June 26 I will give a Workshop at the Yoga Festival Terschelling. It will be an opportunity to experience the energy of the yoga combined with the creative intention of the cosmos. Because we have that day a lunar eclipse the energy of the day will be extreme and exeptionally potent. Eclipses are supercharged New and Full Moons with influence of up to six months.
Eclipses often fall prey to the misconception that they are harbingers of terrible things, disappointments, destruction, ruin, and the like. It's all about perception, though. Eclipses, in astrology, are accelerators. They speed up events, issues, situations in our personal lives and demand for them to be dealt with. The degree of difficulty, then, becomes dependent on:

1. the readiness of the individual to tackle these challenges
2. his/her willingness to do the work required
3. his/her commitment to the cause/s which is really the self and its growth. The degree and depth of influence an eclipse or set of eclipses have depends on individual birth charts.

That day is on top of it the end of the twelfth moonfase (dedication / cooperation). The perfect moment to let go of whatever holds us back in the souls whish for growth according this cosmic intention.
The theme of the workshop wil be GREAT-FULLness.

POWER SHIELD

Yoga and Maya Astrology definitely changed my creative expression. I started to focus on finding ways to portret the tools of a soul. I believe that the soul makes a very deliberate entrance into this reality. By choosing the moment of birth the soul creates the perfect blend of the five elements (in yoga ether is the fifth element). This blend is the toolbox with all the perfect tools in it the soul needs to succeed in its endeavor.
With the soul character design I express in a playful way what I sense about this elementary toolbox. The fife elements are different qualities and each of us has a unique mixture of those. This personal blend is based in the energetic flow of our life force. Like the tools of a craftsman this personal blend gives character to all our actions.
I mainly use Maya Astrology and Akara Numerology which is connected to Kundalini Yoga. Together with a blend of shamanic wisdom guided by my intuition I create the 'power shield'.
Thick papyrus and oil paint sticks are a perfect combination of appealing matter with bright colors to give it a beautifull, natural appearence.
Wahey Guru!

T(E) = ART

The Law of Time distinguishes between a natural timing frequency that governs the universal order, and an artificial timing frequency which sets modern human civilization apart from the rest of its environment, the biosphere. 

In the 12: 60 frequency most people are submitting themselves to, time is money. In the 13 - 20 frequency, lived through the thirteen moon calendar, time is art.
The Law of Time states that: Energy factored by time equals art. In this equation, (E) refers to all phenomena in their processes of unfoldment; (T) is the present moment functioning according to the ratio constant 13:20. Everything shaped by time is art.
The Law of Time affirms that the quality of beauty in nature is supreme;
it is a scientific and mathematical function of fourth-dimensional time.
All art codes are within us.
We ourselves, each and every one of us, are the artist that the planet is calling on!

Jeeh, Iove it!!

SIOUX PRAYER REQUEST

Recently I read this request on a blog of a friend of mine. It helped me to find an activity to engage and help in this painfull toppic. Please experience and share the power of your prayer,  it's worth it!
    

***** A Great Urgency ******

****** To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders ******

My Relatives,

Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. 

I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the 

World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their 

sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life 

of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal 

Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those 

that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from 

the oil disaster in the Gulf.

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The 

catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the 

bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes 

that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer 

with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious 

issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors 

have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united 

prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I 

believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our 

thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have 

been inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us 

call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother 

Earth (our Unc’I Maka).

We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That 

the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be 

guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in 

harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And 

that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. 

Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 

21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it 

is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own 

sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision 

making by our Nations, for our children’s future and well-being, and 

the generations to come.

TIME TO LET GO

We are now till 29th of may in the eleventh moon phase. 28 days to use for letting go and dissolve old habit patterns and structures hindering us in our freedom to grow towards whatever we deeply wish for. The intention for this phase is: Release, Liberate, Dissolve!
What do you wish to release?
Sometimes it is hard to pinpoint the itchy sting inside of us..... but still it's worth while trying!

Regarding myself I feel a great need to let go of some old resistance patterns buried deep inside myself hindering my wish for growth in my job.
In the last three years I created with all my knowledge an indeed beautiful working life. I have a great job I love because it fulfils me on all my levels of being.
I started out studying art and workt as painter ( the painting on the article about the significance of the moon calendar is one example of my work ). I did OK, had quite some chances, expositions and scholarships. After 10 years it didn't satisfied me anymore. Though I did successfully the job of my dreams I felt a lot of resistance I could cope with any longer. So I made a career change choosing yoga as my new technique.
In both lines of work my whish for living and sharing ultimate creative freedom and adventure is the deepest yearning / motivation. So the intention stayed the same only the technique changed...
I am now at a point in my career as a yoga teacher where I have build a harmonious fundament on the inner and outer level. I created a nurturing daily routine with a good income, a whole lot of freedom and obligations I freely and totally agree with. All of my commitments are chosen, deeply satisfying and in balance regarding the reward of my investment of time and energy.
But crazy enough there is still a little voice in me whispering: I don't want to. The resisting part!
So speaking of old habit patterns.... this is for sure one!
Reading this perhaps helps to give you an idea of your own entrapped energy.
This deep 'shadow personalities' we create in the first seven years of our life because of resentment. There is always something (till we are all enlightened!) our parents or other authorities like to change in the nature of the child. In order to function and be assured of love and care we have no other option than burying alive the part of ourselves which is not wanted and create a 'strategy-me' for serving our needs for love and care.
The problem is that by the time we are in no more need of the strategy-me we have totally forgotten about the 'deal' we made. The strategy-me is by than such a deep old habit we unconsciously adopted it as our own genuine behavior and we don't have a clue about the cast away treasure of natural energy!
Only the itchy saboteur in our head and actions, who persistently works against our efforts and good intentions reminds us of a conflict, a warzone, somewhere inside of us.
This saboteur is the buried energy that needs to be reinforced by conscious acknowlegdement and healing.

Suggestion for healing:
The first step towards healing is a step towards our inner child. We need to level our communication to where ever we can reach this part of our psyche. You could meditate in a  position or place you liked as a child for example. After finding the right communication we have to listen and open up to the pain of this cast away personality of ourselves. Now we have to make sure that both parts of our psyche understand that the strategy-me is no longer needed by making a 'magical' choise. A ritual is the way to connect all the
parts of yourself in the now and create an action towards a new beginning in a style all parts can comprehend. Through the ritual you can let go of the strategy-me without making it a pure mental decision which inner child won't grasp.
Further I would like to advise you doing a ritual to rebirth the genuine 'buried alive' me.

Last but not least please use some playfulness so your inner child gets a treat and the decision you made becomes a happy, easy one!

Peace and love,
Anne

ABOUT THE SICNIFICANCE OF THE 13 MOON CALENDAR

http://www.soundstrue.com/podcast/?p=1511
In this podcast José Argüelles talkes about 2012 and the best way to bring up your frequency by using the moon calendar!

EXPERIENCING THE MOON CALENDAR

Two years ago I started synchronising my life with the calendar. The benefits where direct doe to the peace of mind it gave me.
Being an Aries with Mars conjunct Sun in my first house I'm blessed with quite a degree of natural ambition. I tried bannishing it out of my personality with the consequence of building up frustration and anger.
By now I know that ambition is just the force behind growth and expansion. Every piece of nature has an intent and a degree of force to fuel the intent becomming materialized. Therefor it's important to connect the force behind growth with the natural intent instead of (like me before...) surpressing it, feeling guilty about it and wasting the fuel. ( If you don't know what your natural intention is and you would like to know more about it you can contact me for information on individual sessions looking into this matter.)
But even if you are not exactly sure about your goal the moon calendar can help you greatly  finding it.
I discovered by connecting myself with the calendar a lot of inner doubt and stress vanished. It's like giving space to the ambition so my inner nature can strive towards the most prosperous outcome.
Before working with this system my hastiness, doe to the lack of trust, was many times my downfall. I acted like I wanted to grow fruit in the spring without first growing flowers for pollination. Of course there was no other possibiliy than losing energy and a truly fulfilling result...
This changed quite dramaticly by synchronizing my actions wit the given intent of the moon calendar. Moments of doubt and high stess changed into moments of focus and relaxation. I know what to do and can enjoy the different stages of creation understanding that every one of the thirteen intentions has it's momentum and beauty. Above this I have been blessed wit an outcome that restored my trust in myself and the Universe as the provider of abundance on all levels.

WHAT IS THE 13 MOON CALENDAR

The 13 Moon, 28-day calendar is a beautifull systeme for all people everywhere who desire a new, harmonious and natural experience of time. If the calendar and time we follow is irregular, artificial and mechanized, so becomes our mind. As is our mind, so our world becomes, as is our world today: Irregular, artificial and mechanized. But if the calendar we follow is harmonic and in tune with natural cycles, so also will our mind become, and so we may find to a way of life in harmony with nature.
The 13 Moon calendar synchronizes solar and galactic cycles on juli correlating with the star Sirius.  Each of the 13 moons has a power, action, and quality which define an annual program to synchronize our consciousness with the galactic cycles.
As a perfect measure of cosmic time, this calendar is actually a synchronometer, an instrument for measuring synchronicity. Followed daily, it gives us a new lens in which to perceive events. In the New Time, synchronicity is the norm.
The 13 Moon 28-day synchronometer is a harmonic timespace matrix. It takes the moon 28 days to orbit the Earth; it makes this orbit 13 times each year. The standard of measure is the 28-day cycle, called a moon, because it is the median between the 29.5-day synodic cycle of the moon (new moon to new moon) and the 27.1-day sidereal cycle of the moon. Hence, it is a measure of Earth’s solar orbit using the 28-day lunar standard. This creates a perfect orbital measure of 13 moons of 28 days, totaling 364 days, or 52 perfect weeks of 7 days each. Because the 365^th day is no day of the moon or week at all, it is known as the “day out of time” - this day gives us the opportunity to celebrate time as pure art of harmony and order!
