Ecstatic Trance Postures
The Galgenbergfrau Pose
Ecstatic Trance Postures
Wed.
June 17, 2009
6:30 - 9:30 pm
LOCATION: WONDERWORKS, 79A Harbord Ave. (just west of Spadina, south
of Bloor)
By Donation +/- $25
"I recall going to your class a long, long time ago, and to
this day, I love trees (I was a tree and a frog in your class), as I have so
much appreciation for trees and frogs now. It's amazing how your class
has changed my life, literally. Your teaching of the class feels so very
safe, and sacred, and the altered state (as strange as it is, and somewhat a
bit scary, as I love control), this class does wonders for
me."
- S.Hurst, Toronto
Ecstatic Trance Postures is an exploration of specific body postures that act as a
biological door, or gateway to the Alternate Reality while in a trance
state. Experience the science of ecstatic body feeling. Learn from
direct experience & raise your immune system.
Possible
types of experience:
- A profound sense of joy and deep love
- An increase of energy & immune system
boost
- An absorbing or clearing of emotional and/or
physical toxins
- Receiving a flow of healing energy
- A direct experience of being a plant or
animal, or
- A journey to lower world, middle world or
upper world realities, or
- Divination - Hearing advice or given images
to interpret as advice
Discover the science of Shamanism &
ecstatic body feeling. While sitting or standing in a very specific posture,
listening to a rattle shake in a steady manner for only 15 minutes,
participants enter into a trance state. The rattle allows an "acoustic
driving" affect that blocks the verbal left hemisphere of the brain and
opens access to the intuitive right hemisphere. The postures act as
a biological door, like a gateway in our body to allow us to open up into
the 'Alternate Reality'. It is about learning from direct experience.
There are over 75 possible postures & we always try two different postures in each
workshop. Postures are labeled in groupings such as: Healing, Divination,
Metamorphosis, Spirit Journeys, Initiation: Death and Rebirth, Living Myths,
and Celebration.
It is about learning from direct experience.
