The Dance Between Peace and Chaos - The Truth About Balance
Most of us are very familiar with the dance between peace and chaos. Everything is going smoothly or at least nothing stands out as being a major challenge. We feel like life has allowed us to take a deep breath. We feel we have finally reached balance. Then along comes something to deal with, something that demands our focus, and something that re-orders our priorities. We wonder when we are going to finally reach a peaceful equilibrium and blissful homeostasis.
In his book Toxic Success, Paul Pearsall writes that this state of balance isn't something that is natural for us. Balance does not happen in nature; there are times of peace, followed by upheaval and then the pattern repeats itself. As humans, he says, we may desire arriving at some perfect state, but this is not our nature. Life is always in process. For many of us, this doesn't feel like good news.
I used to think whenever I achieved some desired state that I would be "done". As someone who likes to get things done I started to notice that no matter how neatly the goal or vision seemed to convey completion to me, once achieved there was always something beyond that achievement, state or idea. The old saying that the top of one mountain is the bottom of the next took on personal meaning for me. However, the question occurred to me, if we could ever be done or complete, would we need to be students of the school of life on planet Earth?
Chaos allows us to create and recreate and can catapult us to the next level of personal and spiritual development if we work with it rather than resist it. If we yield to chaos and learn from it, chaos can be an incredible teacher. For those of us who love a bit of control, this idea may feel challenging to integrate.
I'm not talking about cheap contrived drama when I write of chaos. I'm writing about chaos that arises naturally from participation in life which forces us out of our comfort zone and spurs us on to our next level of human potential. If we feel like we needn't grow or learn anymore, we aren't advancing the plot. Perhaps paradoxically, this is not to suggest that you are not whole as you are, you are, but your expression in the world can be deepened and developed by embracing change and the dance between peace and chaos.
The chaos of the world can certainly enhance our spiritual development. We can embrace both the temporal and the spiritual and each can inform the choices of the other. A Buddhist may characterize this vacillation as the dance between samsara and nirvana. Samsara is about life in the world and nirvana is the blissful peace state of the enlightened master.
Many of us feel we want to be only in the state of nirvana and we get very discouraged and even plain bummed out when we have to deal with messiness of samsara. We are tempted to think if only we could be on a mountain top and in the lotus position blissed-out we would be happy! But chances are good you would still be struggling with samsara even then. Maybe your bum would be sore from sitting so long, maybe you would feel cold and chapped sitting on a Tibetan mountain top and perhaps you would miss your loved ones.
If we could accept from the beginning that temporal life is always in a state of change, we might be able to accept the dance as we are moving to the music.
Hindus believe that the chaos we speak of is maya or illusion. This perspective may help us deal with the chaos but not get caught up in it. Further, if we yearn neither for peace or chaos, samsara or nirvana, but accept both states, as if we are holding them gently in our open hand, we may develop and deepen our inner peace and truth that can be a great comfort to us in times up change, upheaval and struggle. Let's forgive ourselves for not yet operating from the perspective of an enlightened master and accept ourselves as learning pilgrims on life's journey with its many vicissitudes.
I help women from all over the world design a simplified, meaningful, purposeful and joyful life based on their own strengths, values and priorities. I also coach women towards their ultimate purpose, full of spiritual meaning, connection, humor, compassion and assist them in overcoming any existential suffering. I utilize a strategic and holistic approach in transforming challenges into transcendent integration of joy. I have nearly 25 years experience in working in people helping professions.

The Inviting Music of Belly Dancing
Belly dancing music is influenced by Turkish and Classic Egyptian (mere examples here, I could chose Ghawazee, Modern Egyptian, Tunisian, etc) are primarily defined by the music and its interpretation, as well as culture-based costuming. The base movements are the same, the underlying beats of the music are often Middle Eastern (and other traditional non-Western compositions), and the music influences the attitude of the movements and also the type of clothes worn.
Turkish, Greek, Moroccan, even some Bollywood music can be great for belly dance. If you are going to perform to music that does not come from the belly dance music of the Arabic world, do some research first so you create a respectable composition instead of an ignorant mish-mash.
Women created the dance to perform for one another, not to perform for men. Women engaged in what appears to resemble the modern belly dance appear in Egyptian tomb paintings from 5,000 B.C. and in ancient Greek and Indian sculpture. Ritual dances of high priestesses of many ancient civilizations were probably some form of belly dance.
The music that accompanies a dance is, I believe, is what gives it that mysterious, compelling quality. Belly dancing music is exciting, rhythmical and intriguing. Turkish Dance costumes are among the more risqu of the cabaret styles, baring plenty of leg and cleavage. They are usually beaded, but may use coins too. Turkish dancers are often very scantily clad, but that's not a requirement of the style.
Egyptian style movements are very precise, with the hips held under the rib cage. Turkish style often leans the upper torso back, pushing the pelvis forward. Egyptian style movements are very precise, with the hips held under the rib cage. Turkish style often leans the upper torso back, pushing the pelvis forward.
Egyptian dance businesses flourished to meet the enjoyment of the western woman's love of this dance. Egyptian is more artistic than Turkish, it has lot more movements and more difficult system while the Arabian belly dance music is more complex and interesting than the Turkish one. A short Turkish performance might be thrilling, but I could never watch Turkish style belly dancing for hours.

dance music cdShould You Choose a DJ Or a Band? (Or Both!)
The music is such a great part of any wedding reception. After the seriousness of the ceremony, it is fun to get everyone out on the dance floor and get the party going. The type of music that you choose will set the mood for the reception, and so the question is, should you choose a d.j. or a band?
The answer will depend in several factors, including your budget, the formality of your wedding, and the type of music that you like. Usually a d.j. is less expensive than a band (although sometimes you can find affordable live music by hiring students from a music college.) If you love the big band sound, then a nine piece combo would be a great choice. Couples who want to dance the night away to the latest hits would be better off finding a great d.j. And if you like both, then consider hiring a band for the beginning of the reception and then have a d.j. take over for late night fun.
The setting and formality of your wedding should also be considered when deciding on music. If you are hosting an informal afternoon outdoor wedding, you would choose something entirely different than for a black tie wedding in an opulent ballroom. It makes sense that a more relaxed wedding should have less traditional music. For instance, a bride who is going to be wed barefoot wearing a cotton dress and unique keshi pearl handcrafted bridal jewelry might consider a folksy sort of band. The bride in the full satin ball gown with elaborate Swarovski crystal handcrafted bridal jewelry will find that a more traditional orchestra playing the standards is more appropriate for her reception.
One good reason to choose a d.j. instead of a band is for the variety of songs that they can play. If you want to hear a mix of music styles that will appeal to guests of all ages, a d.j. can deliver that. It is very important to give your d.j. a list of songs that you definitely want him to play (especially the song for your first dance), and a list of songs that is forbidden. Be very clear on where you stand on the Electric Slide and the Chicken Dance!
It is the job of the bandleader or d.j. to introduce the newlyweds when they enter the reception for the first time. One thing to decide before hiring musicians is whether you want them to say anything more than that. Do you like the type of d.j. who keeps up a witty patter throughout the evening, or do you prefer your musicians to play the music but not to speak? Make sure to make your preference known when you are auditioning d.j.s or bands.
Speaking of the audition, it is very important that you hear the band or d.j. before signing a contract. It is usually possible to poke your head into another event that they are playing before you make your choice. You might think that this is not a big deal for a d.j., but you want to be certain that his style matches yours. Also, it may give you an opportunity to check out the sound of his equipment. I once attended a wedding where the d.j.'s speakers sounded just awful. Luckily, there were two bars set up at that reception, so the guests were sufficiently cheerful that the sound quality did not bring the evening down!
In contrast to poor sound, a really great band will make your reception even more fun and memorable. Another wedding that I went to had a really talented and versatile band that could play everything from swing to the hora to the theme song from The Simpsons (the couple made their entrance to that music!). Not only could they handle a wide variety of styles, but they played them all extremely well. It added a lot to the evening. If you have certain special requests of the band, as this couple did, it is important to find a band that is up to the challenge. It would not do, for instance, to have a Jewish wedding reception without a really great version of the hora dance.
Sometimes there are other reasons why a bride and groom will decide in favor of a band or a d.j. For example, I have always thought that people in very formal clothing looked a bit silly dancing to songs like The Macarena, so I chose a band that played the classics like Frank Sinatra and Cole Porter. Another couple, though, may love exuberant music, and so a d.j. would be the perfect option for their wedding. It all comes down to the personal preference of the bride and groom, and what tone they want for their reception.

latin music lyricsBreak A Leg
Theater, I think, is probably the most understated area of the Arts. So much these days is on the big screen and DVD's now that maybe we have forgotten just what amazing writing and acting actually takes place each day on the stage.
There are some amazing stage shows, most start off in London and then tour the country, some run for a period of time and then come back again a few years later just as good and just as popular.
I remember my first theater experience being a pantonmine... ok, this is in a different category to other brilliant shows but I thoroughly enjoyed it as do most children... but unlike most children nowadays I have continued to go to the theater having seen some fabulous stage shows.
I really do think that as children grow they should be exposed more to the theatre, everyone has different tastes, I personally enjoy musicals, others enjoy the serious and dark but lets all try to experience more of them.
I have seen Saturday Night Fever in London, Oliver, Tommy... don't want to bore with a list of all the rest but I have thoroughly enjoyed every one.
I would love to take my daughter to see The Lion King, I would like her to have a good first experience at the theatre and I have heard good things about it.
I want to see Dirty Dancing, I have heard mixed reviews on this one, some say the film is better others have really liked it... now I am a huge fan of the film and although I don't want to ruin my opinion of the film I would like the opportunity to decide for myself so this, I think will be my next ticket purchase.
Whatever your taste in theatre, remember to go, take your kids and enjoy the writing talent that is out there.

irish dance musicWhy Teach Your Children Spanish?
Children learn languages faster than adults. It is much easier for them to learn a second language while they are learning their first one. The earlier we can start kids off learning a second language, the better. Start before 3 years old, achieve fluency before age 12 would be good rules of thumb.
There are several reasons for teaching your children Spanish, (or giving them a chance to learn it from native speakers). Here are a few of the more important reasons:
1. Usefulness. Spanish is the most-spoken language in the western hemisphere and the fourth most-spoken language in the world. There are 17 million Hispanic people in the U.S. who either do not speak English well or do not speak it at all. Knowing Spanish equips people to talk with their neighbors and deal with nearby Latin Americans. Spanish is also widely spoken in Europe. So it is an obvious second language of choice for North Americans.
2. Helps brain development. Learning a second language stimulates and helps children's brain development. Apparently new and different neuron paths and connections are established, resulting in more brain cells and more extensive use of existing brain cells.
3. Employment. With 17 million in the U.S. who communicate better in Spanish than English, there are many job openings for bilingual people. Increasing trade with our Latin American neighbors creates demand for bilingual people who can work with both the U.S. office and the Latin American client/customers.
4. Cultural expansion. Learning another language is a cultural experience. It is more than just the ability to communicate. It enables the learner to read the books and newspapers, understand the works of literature and drama, understand current events and politics better.
In addition, children can learn to speak a second language and speak it without an accent. This will help them enormously in working with and being accepted by native Spanish-speakers.
One of the best ways to learn to speak Spanish is through interactive audio learning courses. There are several of these that can be downloaded from the Internet for under a hundred dollars.
Remember, the earlier we start kids off on a second language the better. So download a learning course and start today!
To learn how to get the best Spanish-learning course available visit: Learn Spanish For a list of good Spanish-learning programs see: Learn Spanish
Jorge Chavez began to learn Spanish after he was 30, now is bilingual. He has monolingual friends, relatives and clients who only speak Spanish and others who only speak English. Read his articles at http://language-center.ya23.com
Kerala Dance Forms
Centuries old Kerala Dance Forms are noted for the variety, youthfulness and charm. Some Kerala dance forms like Kathakali is world renowned, and a dance form Koodiyattom is recognized by UNESCO as human heritage art. All Kerala dance forms and dance forms of India are based on the instructions of 'NatyaSastra', the science of acting, which can be attributed to Sire Bharata who lived some 20 centuries ago. He described 'navarasangal' or the nine emotions viz. Sringaram (Love and seduction), Roudram (Aggressive), Hasyam (Humorous), Bhayanakam (Frightening), Veeram (Courage), Karuna (Compassion), Adbhutam (Wonder) and Shantam (Peace). Kerala dance forms seem to draw a narrow line between male and female performers.
The main dance forms of Kerala are:
Kathakali: This is divine dance form of Kerala, noted for the minute expression of emotions and colorful costumes. Kathakali is considered the art of Gods, and epical episodes are performed as a play. In earlier times it took many days for the completion of a play. Expression of emotions and narration is based on 'Mudras' or hand signals, and facial expression of navarasa, the nine emotions. Traditionally only men performed this Kerala dance form and they dressed like women for female characters usually Goddesses.
The costumes are heavy and it almost takes a full day to complete the make-up process. Characteristic masks, crowns and attire more than double the size of the performer.
Mohiniyattom: This Kerala dance form literally means the dance of an enchantress. Mohini means the women who tempts and Aattom means dance. Attired with white or ivory dress with golden borders, the dancer takes a majestic look. Mohiniyattom is noted for the slow movements and highly emotive eye gestures. The origin of Mohiniyattom is attributed to Lord Vishnu, who impersonated as Mohini (an enchanting woman) to seduce Asuras and take back Amrit, the medicine that gives immortality from them.
Mohiniyattom was performed in Kerala temples and palaces of Kerala.
Koothu (Chakyar Koothu): This Kerala dance form is performed only in selected place called Koothambalam associated with Kerala temples. Koothu in Malayalam means dance. Only members of the 'Chakyar' caste perform this.
Koodiyattam: This dance form of Kerala is the oldest of its kind and was evolved in the seventh century AD. It is an offering to deity. Mythological themes are played.
Theyyam: There are more than 300 variations for this Kerala dance form, which is characterized by the praising of Goddess for her victory over evil forces. Female roles are also handled by men, who wear colorful ritual attire for performing this temple dance form. The headgear and attire are both colorful and attractive.
Thiruvathira or ThiruvathiraKali. This is a dance performed by women on Thiruvathira day of the Malayalam month, Dhanu. Eight to 12 women of any age circles around a 'nilavilakku', a traditional oil lamp with many wicks, for Thiruvathira Dancing. It is believed to bring blessings to their family life.
The Myth Behind this unique Kerala Dance Form:
Rathi Devi, Goddess of love regained the life of Kamadeva, the God of Love who was charred to ashes by the fearsome anger of Lord Shiva. Rathi Devi successfully made a case with Lord Shiva to give Kamadeva his life. Thus ThiruvathiraKali represents the fidelity of marital relation and determination of female soul.
Oppana: This dance form is the peculiarity of Malabar Muslim weddings in Kerala. On the wedding day eve, friends and relatives (mainly young maidens) throng around the bride, clapping their hands and dancing to some nice music. The songs are usually called as Mappilappattu. Through the songs, the young women tease the bride and bless her for the happiness in her new life. Oppana is a performed as a stage item also.
Kolkali: This Kerala dance form belongs to the agrarian classes. Kolkali literally means playing with stick. Men bear short sticks on each hand. The dancers harmoniously move around in circles, form different combinations, dance and rhythmically strike two short sticks. This is an exclusive item for men.
Krishnanattom : Krishnanattom is almost an extinct dance form of Kerala. One dance is completed over eight days, and is characterized by rich colors, big masks, and thick facial make-ups. Krishanattom as the name suggests is the play on the life of Lord Sri Krishna. Krishnattom resembles Kathakali.

Machu Picchu Peru - Home Of Gods
Many times we have listened of machu pichu peru, who have visited it will they give testimony and they have been amazed of the prowess of this indigenous people of the Andes that with their work, effort and patience, were able to live in the skies.
Peruvian cultural patrimony has its beginning in the wonderful Andean civilizations, which flourished previous to the Spaniards appearance. Peru's archaeological treasures such as machu picchu are evidence of many significant achievements similar to those of other great civilizations.
At the present time, different musical expressions, dances and songs, folkloric festivities (religious or not), arts and crafts, gastronomy and other activities (that varies according to different regions) are important expressions of Peruvian and Latin-American cultural heritage.
Peru was the cradle of the Inca empire, and later the seat of the Viceroyalty of Peru which had jurisdiction over all of Spanish South America with Cusco Peru the most important and capital city. It is the home of many indigenous ethnic groups. Popular celebrations are the product of every town's traditions and legends. These celebrations gather music, dances, meals and typical drinks. In addition to the religious celebrations like Christmas, Corpus Christi or Holy Week, there are others that express the syncretism of the indigenous peoples' beliefs with the Christians'. An example of this kind of celebration is the Alasitas (an Aymara word that, according to some studious people, would mean buy me) that combines a crafts and miniatures fair with dances, meals and a mass.

latin music comMusic Composition's Secrets
What is music composition mean to you?
There are many people making a living as a music composer by writing music which put a lot of stress on them. Some music composers will keep on finding out what kind of music is popular right now and are trying to get a hook in it.
I found out ways to go as a music composer:
1. Listening to a lot of songs and trying to compose the similar genre music. By listening to songs, reading up and feeling what type of music will be popular in the near future.
2. Be yourself and compose the music you like yourself in and hope that others who listen to it will feel the same too.
I feel satisfied and glad that I am inspired enough to be a music composer and I feel the process of composing music involve me to go as far as I can and allowing me to understand myself better.
Composing music can be a very worthwhile bustle. The level of originality depends on the way in how you compose your music. It helps the brains creative parts and calculating parts to be activated together.
Let me share some tips from my own music composition experience:
1. Get your instrument with you, start to sing or hum without any high expectation in creating something exceptional. Allow yourself to wander away from your brains calculating parts, with the imagination and creativity you will create brilliant music.
2. Limit your creativity by using a chord progression.
3. Record yourself when you are playing around with your instruments and humming. Listen to what you have recorded and make any adjustment. This will help you to make much more brilliant music.
Sometimes you can feel that you are not able to compose music like the other composer. Different composers have his/her own way of composition. So never follow them, be in your own.

best salsa musicTop Wedding Songs
For many years now, the list of top wedding songs selected by the bride and groom have included some of the most outlandish, ill-fitting and simply awful songs to ever grace the radio waves.
There seems to be an unwritten rule that certain songs must make the list of wedding songs played by a DJ or band. The "Chicken Dance" and "Macarena" immediately come to mind. Yes, the upside is that they are easy songs to get anyone dancing and there is absolutely no skill involved.
The list of top wedding songs from the last few years includes some real stinkers. I'm sure you've heard a few at a wedding reception.
Maybe it was a "one hit wonder" from thirty years ago, or perhaps it was a suggestive rap song where the bride and groom were rubbing up and down each other in a motion that was a little embarrasing to some.
The choice of music at your wedding is an area that requires careful thought, because all the wedding planning can go out the door when inappropriate or tacky songs are played.
But is it really necessary to do these? Break from the trend and just say "No" to line dancing or any dance that requires wriggling a butt like a piece of poultry.
Let your wedding planner be a voice of reason when making the list of wedding songs to give to the DJ or band. What might seem funny and unique now may be a source of embarrassment later.
Do you really want the videographer catching you dancing to a head banging song? Don't give in to the temptation to go with these type of popular wedding songs. Be adventurous, yet at the same time use some common sense.
Grandpa can't break dance so why not give him a slow waltz to show off his talents.
AC/DC's "She Shook Me" is a great song for a party, but it may not go over so well on the list of wedding songs you want played at the reception. Or at least not until after the older or more conservative members of the reception have adjourned for the night.
Yes it is your wedding, but a little care in choosing your own top wedding songs can go a long way in making the day a wonderful affair for all.
