Nan Dòmi par/by Mimerose P. Beaubrun

Nan dòmi, le récit d'une initiation vodou

Un cadeau d'amour à l'humanité...

Nan Dòmi est une magnifique danse de l'art de la parole avec la simplicité des coeurs sincères pour offrir une étude authentique de la conscience en éveil par la voie du vodou.

Nan Dòmi en éveil...

"...le vodou a une pratique publique extérieure - de rituels et de cérémonies-, mais également une dimension mystique intérieure qui a plus vocation à être pratiquée en privé...

Avant Nan Dòmi, les travaux sur le vodou se sont concentrés sur la première, c'est-à-dire la dimension publique, extérieure, de la religion et des us et coutumes qui l'entourent. Mimerose P. Beaubrun s'est proposé, tout d'abord, d'effectuer un travail du même ordre.

Parents & Professionals Partnering for Children With Disabilities, A Dance That Matters by Janice M. Fialka, Arlene K. Feldman and Karen C. Mikus

A DANCE THAT MATTERS

Parents & Professionals Partnering for Children With Disabilities, A Dance That Matters 

(Available in Paperback and KINDLE edition)

"Dance can give the inarticulate a voice"  

~  Pamela Brown

Written from both the parent’s and the professional’s points of view,  Parents & Professionals Partnering for Children With Disabilities, A Dance That Matters, draws upon the metaphor of dance to highlight the essential partnership between teachers, administrators, support staff, and parents of children with disabilities.

Rich with humour and heart, the book offers helpful steps for self-reflection, personnel preparation, and parent-professional training. 

"This book beautifully reminds us that social change happens through listening, dialogue, and engagement.

Beneath our roles as professionals and parents, these authors gently help us to remember that we are all people first, and through empathy, we can find ways to sidestep-or dance- around many of the missteps that lead to misunderstanding and conflict.

This book is a wonderful resource for anyone trying to navigate the complexities of supporting and advocating for disabled students in inclusive classrooms."

~ Emma Van der Klift and Norman Kunc, Co- directors

THE YONI : Sacred Symbol of Female Creative Power by Rufus C. Camphausen

The Yoni 

Sacred Symbol of Female Creative Power

"Learning about the creative power of the Yoni, my sacred source of expression... I dance the Dance of the Femi9 Woman and love every movement..."  

~  Dr. Tonya K. Freeman (My Goddess Walk)

The term Yoni heralds from a culture and religion in which women have long been regarded and honored as the embodiment of the divine energy and where female genitals are seen as a sacred symbol of the Great Goddess.

From prehistoric times, our ancestors have envisioned and symbolically expressed the cosmic forces of creation, life, and death in representations of human genitalia. Fertility cults centered on phallic worship are well documented, but older and even more pervasive are the cults of the Goddess and her vulva.

The Yoni Worship 

In this lushly illustrated book, Yoni worship is shown to have been a part of the spiritual heritage in every part of the globe and may, in fact, be the most ancient religion of humanity.

This book traces this primal motif from its first surviving occurrence almost 30,000 years ago in Europe to its remnants and budding renaissance in contemporary language, art, and literature.

From the naturally occurring Yoni rock formations used as sacred places by indigenous Americans to the Indian temple of the menstruating Goddess, from the exhibitionist sheela-na-gig carvings of early Celtic churches to the ritual striptease found in Japan, The Yoni reveals Yoni imagery and veneration that spans many cultures and times.

The author also discusses Tantric practices, Near Eastern myths, and Tibetan visualization techniques linked to Yoni reverence. 

Illustrated throughout with some of the world’s finest and most diverse examples of Yoni artwork - from Georgia O’Keefe and Judy Chicago to early Aboriginal rock paintings in Arnhemm Land, Australia - The Yoni celebrates this universal icon of female creativity and the Source of All. 

Included is an appendix on “Yoni Language”, an alphabetical, cross-cultural lexicon as well as a glossary of terms.

The Yoni, Sacred Symbol Of Female Creative Power is a learned, beautiful piece of work that you can acquire here

Afrikan Yoga by Pablo M. Imani

Afrikan Yoga:A Practical Guide to WellbeingThrough Smai Posture, Breath and Meditation

Pablo Menfesawe-Imani BA (Hons) MA, BSY, YRT, ITEC, is an Author, Yoga Teacher, Massage Therapist, Holistic Health and Wellbeing Consultant and Balanced Health practitioner trained in Kinesiology. He is the founder of Afrikan Yoga.
 

Afrikan Yoga’s essence is inner harmony, peace, and calm... 

designed to develop flexibility, suppleness, psycho-spiritual awareness and controlled relaxation of the mind and body. 

This form of Egyptian Yoga focuses on energy development and emotional cleansing of the physical and emotional body through the development of movement and postures.

Through the practice of a system of Sayunaats/Postures commonly called Asanas, its use of Hanu movements Raagus African Dance and Hudu African Taichi aims to unite the body, mind, and spirit for health and well-being. 

This discipline is considered a powerful tool to relieve the stresses of modern-day life which in turn can help promote total physical and spiritual well-being.

Afrikan Yoga is characterized by its attention to rhythmic movements and precise focus on breath. An emphasis of co-ordinating movement, dance and awareness of muscles, internal organs and emotional effects of movements are emphasized in Afrikan Yoga. They are said to release emotional blockages, increase vitality, improve circulation, libido coordination and balance, ensuring a strong foundation for meditational poses.

Unlike the Western and Indian approaches where students are fixated to static movements of the body and suppressed emotions an Afrikan Yoga class is verbal and lively with precise instructions and corrections to movements and postures. A typical class encourages freedom of movement in the hips, torso, arms and legs.

Meditation Secrets for Women by Camille Maurine & Lorin Roche

"Meditation Secrets For Women

teaches you how to meditate with full access to the emotions and body wisdom that are part of the divine."
~ Christine Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

...Nature designed us to blossom in the bodily state of pleasure.

When we give over to the basic need, every cell, every fiber of body and soul, can receive and come alive.

Something way down inside _ that primitive place underneath our everyday human personality_ is met and satisfied.

Touched and fed with pleasure, something awakens, like an animal purring into health and power, or a tender plant blossoming into vibrant colors.

The simple pleasure of being completely at home with the body puts us in rapport with the ongoing rhythms of nature.

We have a tangible sense of ourselves as an organism within the larger natural environment_ connected, contained, safe.

As we relax in enjoyment within ourselves, we feel free to release, deep inside, into a condition of easy flow. The pulsings of breath and blood slow into a soothing dance. Our senses dilate; we feel closer to the processes of life...
