Back to new Social Systems starting with planking

When I saw this I was deeply amused,
it's like reverse engineering zen meditation.

So I have been needing a lot of love and light for my body and mind this spring and this TED talk blew my mind LIterally! Also because it made my look into Ray Kurtzweil all the more amazeballs.... singularity whaaaaa? enjoy......

I always feel like I'm cheating because everything on TED is so amazing which is why I have to give a shout out that I will be fulfilling a dream and live blogging TED SF on June 4 it should be a stunning event and more detalis to come. Lets hope I get to talk bout it here!

So big plans for the summer you bethcha I am going on a Health and Spiritual Sabatacal, which should make these posts even more cultural rehab esque? Dear readers I have longed for many years to truly install some of the obvious ways of living that I am fighting for on the show and so I am off to AZ and the Tree of Life Rejuvination Spa Retreat to go raw vegan do some Yoga meditate and all the other thinks and bees that go with quiet dessert living. I have just started a chinese herb tonic which tastes like how it looks care of my friendcs at Wood Tiger in the castro, but I feel stronger, and well I thought after having a series of really stressful years and my body just feeling and looking what is unvibrant
I checked out this amazing tea Documentary All in this Tea, as well more on that in my docs section. I am going the distance and hope you will enjoy following me on the adventure. So what am I doing for rapture you ask? playing and teaching art to kids in Jellyfish gallery and dancing at Kylies Aphrodities spectacular! I'm definately feeling the love..... So lets get a little lighter and brighter and here are my weeks inspirations. Join Us today as we talk with Mira Luna about Time Banks here in SF  and author of Sacred Economics Charles Eisenstein whose titles also include The Yoga of Eating and the Asccent of Humanity so today is a real treat!

The week of Relief and correction

This week was kicked off by a cool and confident Obama snagging a hat trick with releasing a much questioned certification roasting the press and his peanut gallery and ending the nations longsuffering boogyman scare. Granted the nations rejoice for an execution of our enemy, still is not a sit well, but there was relief in this country and now we have no reason to be at war or away from home or on the spending spree for war that has led to our massive debts and drained resources. We had biblical storms, and an epic video about Judas, and a dance video form beyonce which was clearly intended for a nation of exercise starved children.
I personally went to a party with the Zeitgeisters and faced 3 of my main phobias including spiders, snakes, and ladders, AWESOME! I also had a goddess brownie and had a whole bunch of innervisions that led me to shake some of the dust from my head, imagine me to realize this was about the time that at a grander scale someone else was getting some puttinto his.

Spring is about feeling new again and all week I have been excited to feel the show come together, however my anxiety for what my life is outside of the show is still a big fat question mark, but clearly this is a part of my experience, I started acupuncture treatments (Wood Tiger in the castro is amazing) and have really felt more hope and more focus on what I can do to put me to a state of optimum and just how far I am from that. If we all know that diet and exercise work than why is it so hard to green light it? If we know that the republicans are doing bad things than why are we letting ourselves be screwed it is only us that suffers? At wood tiger they reminded me of the difference between relief and corrective care.  I fell and took a bath I sat there and felt relief after 10 mins, and my antsy self said ok onto the next thing, but then I stopped and I said no I want to correct which means not just fix the symptoms but really treat the problems, so I sat and began to feel better stronger and this has led me back to a very zen place in my life which is breathing it out and time. Relief is easy and this is what most people seek, and often what we are used too as Americans, our entertainment and technology, our very fabric as a culture is based on this relief system which is only about 30% towards thriving, but now my eyes are squinting to see the corrective care where I can see a place of health and vitality.
With that being said welcome May with a month of Social movements, I want some corrective care.
