Selfica: The Damanhurian use of metals in healing

From Healing in Damanhur

The healing techniques of the ‘Damanhurian Tradition’ include pranatherapy and deep breathing, hypnosis and relaxation, massage and self massage, coloured light baths linked with sound (phono-chromatherapy) and the use of  Selfica.

Selfica is the  creation of structures made from metals and specially prepared liquids and inks, which use the spiral as their base unit. These structures are employed for protecting and rehabilitating various physical and psychical functions. The development of Selfic research is one of the most important, original and characteristic directions of Damanhurian medicine.

Happy Birthday Susie: Awake and Alive

These are some of the lyrics from ‘Awake and Alive’ by Skillet that touched me:

It’s getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last

I’m awake I’m alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it’s my time
I’ll do what I want ’cause this is my life
Here, right now
I’ll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I’m awake and I’m alive

In the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you

Painting Techniques * Lori McNee

Lori McNee explains her extended palette for studio oil painting. Visit Lori at http://finearttips.com/

From Lori's Texture & Application in Paint using Yin/Yang

Using varying degrees of texture to enliven oil or acrylic artwork. Application of paint can range anywhere between transparent to opaque or thin to thick.

How to create thin and transparent texture: Yin

Use extra medium for thinning paint
Dark, cool shadows need transparent paint
Use warm transparent hues where the shadows meet the light

How to create thick and opaque (impasto) texture: Yang
Use a heavily loaded bristle brush
Put the paint down and leave it alone.
Let the brush make its mark
Use thicker texture to create form and highlights

Glazing to give the dry painting more depth.

Allow the paint to dry, then use a softer brush loaded with transparent glazes and lightly drag across the dried impasto. The glaze will puddle in the valleys made by the bristle brush. Or use a lint-free cloth/towel and carefully wipe the glaze off the peaks of the impasto. This technique allows the light to shine through the layers of paint and add an air of mystery to your work.

Butterfly Crop Circle

This stunningly beautiful image of what has been called a Mothman or Human Butterfly appeared in a field in Goes, The Netherlands on August 8 2009.

It shows a clear reference to Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man forming the body of a huge butterfly. It’s the largest crop circle to be recorded, measuring 530 x 450 meters * Something like 4 football fields.

I’m not ashamed to say that I absolutely love crop circles * Regardless of how they are formed.

As a visual artist I see simply see them as stunning images, laden with symbolism. And my feeling is that we respond to the beauty of these images/symbols because of our innate resonance with higher mathematical laws.

At the beginning of this new year and decade 2010 what better way to illustrate our hope for our personal and collective transformation than to use the symbolism of a butterfly?
