October 24, 2010

Unity charges all of life.
One energy connects us all, linking us soul to soul and heart to heart.
At any time, in any place, I can go within and feel my connection to all of life.
As spiritual beings, we are vast and mysterious.
The heart is generous and capacious.
The heart is far-reaching and all-inclusive.
The heart can contain far-flung loves.
The heart can love despite geography.

Today, my heart holds all my beloveds close despite the distance between us. Today my heart is full of connections, alive with the knowledge of the
tender web which holds us all in its embrace.

DANCE PREVIEW: FuturPointe Dance/Biodance

By Casey Carlsen on October 20, 2010

http://www.rochestercitynewspaper.com/entertainment/stage/2010/10/DANCE-PREVIEW-FuturPointe-Dance-Biodance/

Geva Theatre is hosting not one, but two young Rochester dance companies, on its Nextstage over the coming two weekends. The work of both FuturPointe Dance and Biodance represents an emerging trend in dance - the inclusion of multimedia, particularly video imagery, in performances. The dance styles of the two companies, however, are divergent enough to offer pleasingly contrasting shows. And the small house and raked seating at Nextstage should make it a particularly enticing venue for dance, allowing audiences a more intimate experience.

FuturPointe is the lovechild of Guy Thorne, who was a soloist with Garth Fagan Dance for more than seven years, and two of his contemporaries - Heather Roffe, who also danced for Fagan, and N'Jelle Gage, who served as assistant artistic director of Jamaica's renowned L'Acadco Dance Company before relocating to Rochester to co-direct with Thorne and Roffe.

"This is something I've had in my head for a long time," Thorne says. "I wanted to inspire people, uplift them. For most of my dance career a lot of the dances I performed didn't do that for me. There came a time when I wanted to share how I saw the world."

FuturPointe Dance defines itself as a fusion company. That is, it combines dancers with a variety of training and choreographic styles from a variety of genres, including modern dance, Caribbean, reggae/dancehall, Latin African, and ballet. The company's goal is to broaden contemporary dance's appeal, to enlarge its audience.

"We're not trying to speak to your mind. We speak to your spirit," Thorne says.

"You don't have to understand technique to enjoy our work," Roffe says. "We're trying to broaden the experience of dance. We encompass multiple voices from varied backgrounds."

And audiences seem to be responding. Only a year old, FuturPointe has already scored several New York City performances (one at Dance Theater Workshop, for instance) and throughout the state, including a hometown appearance at this summer's Nazareth College Art Center Dance Festival.

The company uses art installations, short films, and direct images to help convey emotional themes or develop an idea. "We enjoy collaboration," Thorne says. "That is the way dance should be heading - sharing talent. Creating together. Enhancing your work with our work and our work with your work. Connecting."

The diversity of the company's global dance styles will be in evidence during its run at Geva. Work presented will include Thorne's "Mashramani," which blends contemporary dance with Jamaican folklore; "Tangere," an Argentine tango-inspired suite by Roffe; and a modern African piece by company member Melinda Phillips.

Missy Pfohl Smith created Biodance in New York City in 2002; a few years later she relocated to Rochester and, slowly, filled her company with new dancers. Its first official performance was in 2008 at the University of Rochester, where Smith is now director of the dance and movement program. Biodance is a contemporary company notable for Smith's sleek choreography, the social consciousness of many of her pieces, and the dancers' ability to infuse their movements with meaning and humor.

Smith is excited about this weekend's premiere of "Our Story is Your Story," a piece that she was inspired to create after holding a public series of multi-generational dance workshops in which participants moved from sharing memories and conversations to channeling that content into movement. An art grant from the Arts and Cultural Council of Greater Rochester financed the project. The cast ranges in age from 15 to more than 60 years and includes a wide array of guest artists, including dance therapist Danielle Fraenkel, who will dance the stories of her mother surviving the Holocaust.

"The dances tell people's stories, but they're more metaphorical, not always clear cut," Smith says.

During the Geva residency Smith's group will also take on another weighty topic, but lighten it with humor. "Guzzle!" includes multimedia special effects to take consumers to task for their blind consumption of dwindling natural resources. "Web We Weave" is a quartet Smith choreographed in 2008; it features Julie Schlafer, Courtney World, Laura Regna, and Stuart Tsubota portraying people in intermingling relationships. The dancers push and tug each other, then counter with supporting lifts and holds, depicting the intricate balancing inherent in relationships.

Remembering Michael Jackson

I think the best way to honor Michael Jackson, is to remember him by the huge musical legacy he leaves behind.  And share his passion for music, dance, and life!

Fan Diary: Michael Jackson's Memorial Service

AP (Associated Press) asked attendee Jensen Karp to document his experience at Michael Jackson's memorial service with a FLIP video camera. He sees $50 parking, Jennifer Hudson and Diddy finding their seats -- and a view of the service not seen on TV. (July 7)

I saw Robert Mirabal in concert in Washington, D.C. about 10 years.  I was inspired to see him after watching a PBS special where he and other Native American tribes were featured in a Las Vegas concert some years earlier.  I could feel the ever streaming infusion of inspiration as it flowed through him and that reminded me of the kind of artist I would want to become one day.  I even went to Santa Fe, New Mexico to to feel that energy in the air and meet the artists in the area.  The memory of those times helped me get through my cancer treatment when I was diagnosed soon after my trip.  And to this day, I remain in awe of his talent.

How did you get away?
You were the pet falcon of an old woman.
Did you hear the falcon-drum?
You were a drunken songbird put in with owls.
Did you smell the odor of a garden?

You got tired of sour fermenting
and left the tavern.
You went like an arrow to the target
from the bow of time and place.
The man who stays at the cemetery pointed the way,
but you didn't go.

You became light and gave up wanting to be famous.
You don't worry about what you're going to eat,
so why buy an engraved belt?

I've heard of living at the center, but what about
leaving the center of the center?
Flying toward thankfulness, you become
the rare bird with one wing made of fear,
and one of hope. In autumn,
a rose crawling along the ground in the cold wind.
Rain on the roof runs down and out by the spout
as fast as it can.

Talking is pain. Lie down and rest,
now that you've found a friend to be with.

These Branching Moments, Jelaluddin Rumi
Translated by Coleman Barks

Let us reunite once again as we release ourselves for a moment from daily drama, stress, noise, pain, and difficulty.  Joined in a circle of light that is only made possible by our uniquely heartfelt and committed spirits to create positively energizing influence. Knowing that together we are greater and stronger in a powerful bond of love, compassion, and harmony than we are separate and divided.  In the coming days, let the energizing boost fill you with peace and joy. Let yourself experience a renewed anticipation for living with passion in the present.  I also embrace the boost from you with gratitude and joy.

Thanks so much for all you do as friends and healers, especially with your presence and support in this energy share. Love truly does make the world go round.

Enjoy every moment and live the passionate life you intend it to be.

SAM-e May Support SRI Treatment of Mood Disorder
09/09/10

A new study by researchers from Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital have found that the supplement S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAM-e, pronounced "sammy") may be a useful adjunctive therapy in some instances of depression. The study, which was published in the August 2010 issue of American Journal of Psychiatry, found that SAM-e may help reduce the symptoms of major depression when used as an adjunct therapy with a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SRI) medication. To our knowledge, this is the first such finding of its kind and should be regarded accordingly.

Cranberries May Benefit Men's Health

10/03/10

When most people think of cranberries or cranberry extract, they tend to think of women's health and UTIs (urinary tract infections). However, an ever-growing body of research is showing that cranberries may have many additional benefits, including benefits to men's health.

Over the course of the last few years, Whole Health has featured articles on many of these new findings. Newsletter readers have read articles that described the mechanism by which cranberries fight UTIs, a study that found ulcer-fighting potential, a study that found virus-fighting potential, and a study that found that cranberries may have potential in the treatment of a particular type of esophageal cancer. Links to all of these studies can be found at the cranberry page of this website. 

One of the newest and most novel findings about cranberries, published in British Journal of Nutrition, found that cranberries may improve prostate health in older men.¹

Resveratrol Shows Anti-Inflammatory Benefit in Human Study

10/02/10

Resveratrol is a compound found in certain plants and foods, including grape skins and red wine. Recent studies have tied resveratrol to longer life, enhanced athletic performance, reduced risk of colorectal and prostate cancer, and reduced inflammation. Many of these potential benefits are tied to resveratrol's antioxidant capacity.

While these antioxidant effects have been demonstrated in animal models and in in vitro (in "test tube") models, they have not all been shown in an in vivo ("in an organism") human model. In fact, we believe this to be the first study of resveratrol's antioxidant and anti-inflammation mechanism in humans.

In this new NIH-funded (National Institutes of Health) study, researchers from the State University of New York at Buffalo randomly gave healthy, normal-weight participants either a placebo or 40mg of resveratrol daily for 6 weeks. The researchers took fasting blood samples prior to the start of the study and at weeks 1, 3, and 6. The researchers analyzed reactive oxygen species (ROS), a common group of oxidizing compounds found in the body along with other measures of oxidation, and multiple measures of inflammation.

We are like jewelers.

At the start of any day, we have before us the beautiful beads of differing choices.

Choice by choice, moment by moment, I build the necklace of my day, 
stringing together the choices that form artful living. 

Will I be quiet today or outgoing, solitary or involved with friends, reflective or expressive? 
Will I write letters, make phone calls, pay bills, sweep floors or go for a good long walk?

Moving through my days with conscious grace, I connect to the web of life.
I, too, am a bead in a larger pattern.

Today, I choose to live by conscious design, nurturing myself and others in body, mind and spirit.

I ask for and receive guidance in my choices.

I cherish the pattern of my life.

Vitamin C May Benefit Knee Health

09/06/10

Most people know that vitamin C is critical to human health; few likely know why it is needed. The body needs vitamin C to form collagen, the main protein in the connective tissues and blood vessels. Scurvy, which is now rare, is disease that is caused by a severe vitamin C deficiency. This extreme deficiency prevents the production of collagen. In its worst forms, blood vessels weaken to the point of breaking, causing internal bleeding. In the past decade some researchers have made the connection between serum vitamin C levels, collagen formation and atherosclerosis, commonly known as "hardening of the arteries".
A new study conducted at the University of South Florida has again tapped into the link between vitamin C and collagen formation, but this time researchers have tied it to joint health. More specifically, the researchers have found that vitamin C may help prevent osteoarthritis in the knees.

This is definitely a long time coming for Chinese dissidents.  I believe in what the Nobel Committee does in awarding the Peace Prize and being an independent group allows them to send a powerful message to oppressive governments.  China, as a growing economic and political power, will continue to be a focal point of redressing human rights.


Chinese dissident Liu wins Nobel Peace Prize

By SCOTT McDONALD and KARL RITTER, Associated Press Writers Scott Mcdonald And Karl Ritter, Associated Press Writers

BEIJING – Imprisoned Chinese democracy campaigner Liu Xiaobo on Friday won the Nobel Peace Prize — an award that drew furious condemnation from the authoritarian government and calls from world leaders including President Barack Obama for Liu's quick release.

Chinese state media blacked out the news and Chinese government censors blocked Nobel Prize reports, which highlighted Liu's calls for peaceful political change, from Internet websites. China declared the decision would harm its relations with Norway and promptly summoned Oslo's ambassador to Beijing to make a formal protest.

25 Amazing Food Cures

Eat This, Not That

by David Zinczenko

When I was growing up, I spent a lot of time with slabs of meat on my face.

As kids, my brother Eric and I fought like wild animals. He still sports a scar above his lip from a cut I accidentally gave him, and my nose isn't quite as straight as it might be if I hadn't taken so many shots to it. We're as close as can be today, but back in our teen years, we sported many a bruised ego and blackened eye. And the home remedy for the latter? A hunk of steak.

It is said that Michelangelo could see the sculpture in a raw piece of marble. Could it also be a talent to see the marble out of which our things are born?

We tend to look at all the things of life, from objects to people, as fixed, separate, one-dimensional givens. Could we also perceive the stories in which they live, the spirit that gives them context, the music made by their movements, the aromas emanating from their presence, the void displaced by their forms, the secrets hidden by their revelation? What kind of senses would be required for such perception?

- By Thomas Moore

Today I place an energy boost within the video to uplift you and instill a spirit of peace and connectedness within yourself and with those around you. As the days become ever more challenging, let yourself give voice to your truth to inspire others so they may do the same and find common ground. Let your days be filled with balance, calmness, strength and resilience. I gratefully acknowledge the boost from you and honor your awesome spirit.

Steve Rother speaks of grounding our light into the most beautiful energy on Planet Earth, to anchor ourselves in the days to come. So how do I ground myself? Aside from making time for tea and dark chocolate, I choose to dance, dance, dance!!! *v*

Until then, enjoy every moment and live the passionate life you intend it to be.

Aloha pumehana (with love, blessings, and affection),

Lydia
