Spring Upward! Raise your Vibration. Energize Spring 2010 Newsletter

 

Dear Friends,

Spring is here!
We finally are able to come out of hiding and expand, leaving behind the dust and grit of winter..
Crocuses and daffodils are springing out of the ground, Tentative rays of sunshine warm our faces.
Spring means, at the same time leaping forward or upward and also 'a source of water.' Water is the flow, the breath, Life, Light. Water reflects emotions and thoughts as Dr. Emoto showed us in "Messages From Water"
Spring is the renewal, the detoxing of our deep cells, of our thoughts and of our souls.

Springing upward also means raising our vibration.

Many people wonder how to raise their vibrations.
It is a very subtle change in the energy field, yet it is unmistakable. It is the feeling of the diver going down to the bottom of the pool to then kick back up to the surface with a slight push. It is the sensation of the athlete jumping high over an obstacle, the emotion of the singer reaching the high note, or the sensation of accomplishment given by the perfect movement of the dancer.

Raising your vibration is the feeling of being "in the zone," with perfect timing, high creativity, hyper awareness, great intuition and pure joy.

But, you'll ask: How do you get that sensation systematically? Practice, practice, practice!

Where do you start?

-First notice: Next time your vibration is naturally high, try to make a note of what it feels like; observe yourself, note what brought you there. Perhaps it is a walk on the beach or a hike up a mountain. When you are in that perfect state, everything flows naturally, easily, and your judgment is sharp, accurate, your energy is high and your joy is intense. But it is a hard thing to remember as memory does not span vibration. However, the more aware you are, the better your body will be able to recall that sensation later.

-Then, repeat:  When your vibration is high, your whole energy system is working perfectly. The energy system is like a pipe line system. If the flow of energy is blocked somewhere, you will feel it everywhere. The same way that if in your house the plumbing is clogged in the kitchen, it will sometimes overflow in the bathroom as well. Energy clearing is done though meditation, focused intention on the clearing of the chakras and aura, and with a solid foundation of self-love.

For energy to flow freely everywhere, the whole system must be clear. It means, that your whole body must be clear. Therefore, the 4 pillars of health, nutrition, sleep, physical activity, and energy clearing, all work in unison, like the cords of a guitar, need to all be in tune for the final accord to be harmonious.
This is why a high vibration is at the same time the result of good sleep,  good nutrition, physical activity and regular energy clearing.

Practice practice practice, it will become easier as time goes on..

So spring forward to a high vibration,
Happiness and radiance are awaiting.

Fall Newsletter

 

Dear Friends,


Fall just surprised us last week and we only have a few more weeks
before the annual change away from daylight saving time, scheduled on
November 1… Readjusting to darkness falling early is always a challenge
for us up in Maine!

But looking at the ‘bright’ side of things ;=) we’ll get longer evenings, sitting by the fire or the stove, for writing,
reading, knitting, storytelling, playing, rehearsing, watching good movies or plays, dancing, and for simply being…

Upcoming is a time of reflection inward and re-aligning to our inner-world. 2009 was a trying year for many. The earth is changing rapidly and we are
called to adjust and re-align without question, or we will simply no longer be. It is now clear that we cannot continue on the path of
self-destruction. As Eckhart Tolle justly points out: “we are running out of time!” The recent planetary catastrophes (tsunami again, along
with earthquakes and various shifts) do not give us mixed messages, but say to us loud and clear: change!

So what are you willing to change? What are your new life-guiding principles going to be? Are you ready to walk the talk?


As you already know from your various acting teachers: actors should be able to walk and talk at the same time! The time has come to make the
commitment to realign your beautiful selves and raise your vibrations so you can show the way to others. As actors, directors, performers,
you have a responsibility to the world: the responsibility to show, demonstrate, educate, and teach, so the world can evolve to a better
more peaceful place. You are so much more than entertainers: you are what Derek Rydall calls “Enlightened Entertainers.” You are the new “saltimbanques

(traveling acrobats) of the Italian and Molière traditions of theatre: you are the precious instruments of the change at hand and you are
walking the tight rope of its creation.

So look-up, laugh, smile, balance and roll up your sleeves! The work of change is arduous and challenging but it is so much fun and so exciting…

Start it at the beginning: start it within….

Theatre Topics Review


     

The renown academic journal of ATHE (Association for Theatre in Higher Education) THEATRE TOPICS just published a wonderful review of A BALANCING ACT in its September 2009 issue, written by Barbara Sellers-Young of York University.


Excerpts:

"In fifteen chapter and six appendices, Chaulet's carefully crafted
method takes the actor on a journey from personal awareness of his/her energy system, to an application of that knowledge in the creation of a character."

"Since Stanislavski's initiation of this trend at the beginning of the twentieth century with his use of yoga to train actors, systems of body knowledge have increasingly become part of mainstream performance training.. [..] Chaulet's A BALANCING ACT is part of this transnational discourse in actor training. Its strength is in the insight it provides regarding how an actor can integrate these discursive fields within a personal approach to performance, and this is the audience for whom it seems to be written."

To read the review, please go to Theatre Topics/project muse website.
