Amma therapy is a comprehensive system of bodywork developed by Tina Sohn, an empathic healer born into a long, matriarchal line of healers in Korea, and brought to America in the 70's. Utilizing traditional oriental medical principles, (TCM), where therapeutic body work has been an integral part of medical treatment for thousands of years, AMMA aims to restore, promote, and maintain optimum health through the treatment of the physical body, the bio-energy, and the emotions, which reflect and are bound into the neuromuscular system. AMMA may be used to address a wide range of chronic health issues.

Each internal organ and system is related to a specific channel, or meridian, which has points of entry that effect specific functions.  Harmonizing an imbalance in the energy system manifests beneficial change in the physical body and vice versa.

Amma employs aspects of most major forms of therapeutic bodywork. Gentle compression, myofascial techniques, deep pressure, point manipulation, increasing range of motion and various other techniques to relieve tension, move energy and and rejuvenate tissue.

Cupping and Massage

Cupping is an ancient technique found in many culture throughout the world. Cupping is the use of gentle suction, or negative pressure which has many applications in a bodywork session.  Cupping brings rejuvenating blood flow to deprived areas relieving spasm, breaking and dissolving adhesions in the tissue, dispersing muscles 'knots' or 'trigger points', increasing range of motion all with less trauma that can be achieved by hand. Massage cupping gently lifts the skin to facilitate lymph flow and drainage. This technique can be scheduled separately and as part of a full 1 1/2 hour massage session.

finding our way back to Mother love...

Growing up in a nautical community in New York City, I have developed an intimate relationship with nature, huricanes, water, and wind.... earth as a container, structure, matrix of life and womb of the elements... a fertile container and spawning ground; all One.. Virgin Goddess, Virgo, The Empress... Mother, Love...

how to raise intrepid children.....

When huricanes approached we would batten down the hatches, at home and ride out the first half of the storm... if all was well at home, during the eye we'd grab our foul weather gear and head to the dock for the next half and meet the spray, the wind, and the rest of the weather loving salts checking the boats, rescuing those that broke loose of their mourings, if possible... assessing damage...

 

Here I am with my daughter, Brooke, and the Seder family at the dock, circa 1983.. ( Maggie Seder is in the first one with us..) for that years weather event... My daughter laughs at the photo,, she says I look like, Waldo from the "Where's Waldo" children's books series... and, I see her point.

We are nature. Our immortal nature is Nature, itself, the physical expression of Life.  "We are Earth, Air, Water, and Fire, intelligently interacting." says Leonard Orr... And, we are the infinite intelligence directing the flow... Earth my body, Water, my blood, Air, my Breath and Fire my spirit..  my passion for life...

What does this have to do with Safe and Immortal in NYC?  Everything.. Nature is everywhere and we are Nature.. Love, Honor, and Repect for Nature is a form of Mutual-Self Respect.. and, it is basic to living as a conscious being, step one in Self Awareness and personal mastery...

With gratitude for the intrepid roots of my present incarnation and the beautiful people I have loved and will love, eternally...

Who is Dan Brule..... in his own words...

“Someone recently asked me how I manage to do all this traveling, being away from home so much.  I replied that it was simple. Life is a journey, and I am at home wherever I go, wherever I find conscious, heart-centered people who are committed to growth in awareness and love; to healing in spirit, mind and body.  

My family and friends have always supported me in my quest for Peak Performance, Optimum Health, and Ultimate Potential.  Breathwork is my passion and my profession on this journey.  I live in service to everyone who is drawn to discover, explore and develop the unlimited Power and Potential of Breath Awareness and Conscious Breathing...  

I celebrate the opportunity to travel and teach because it enables me to share my love of Spiritual Breathing, and to promote and advance, and keep learning the Theory and Practice--the Art and Science--of Breathwork.  

Our generation has given birth to a unique healing modality. The Conscious Breathing Movement is still in its infancy; and in terms of my own practice, it seems to me that I am still a toddler!  

So, I guess I'll keep traveling the Path of Breath Mastery as long as the Spirit of Breath keeps moving me, as long as the Angel of Breath keeps guiding me, and as long as people keep inviting me!” Dan

Why do highly achived spiritual masters leave?

I was invited to participate in an event by The Temple of Understanding, in NYC in 2003 and, asked to greet presenters and escort them to the reception room.  One of the presenters was Swami Sachidananda.

Being very new to interfaith ministery and coming from an informal, non-traditional, back ground, I greeted him with a great big smile, clasped his hand, proceeded to link arms and escort him to the elevator. Swami was delighted, his face burst into the most beautiful smile, eyes shining at me as if he were seeing a most delightful child.

As we walked to the elevator I could feel from the minds of on lookers that I might have greeted him in a manner they were not accustomed to seeing.   Feeling a little embarrassed, I wondered to myself what the customary greeting might, actually, be.  At that point, Swami faced me and my body went through the motions of a formal beloved greeting... all without words... I was redeemed in the eyes of the onlookers and my heart was deeply touched.. I will always remember this and the great kindness and loving eyes of Swami Sachitananda.

I told this story to Leonard Orr one afternoon and he asked me, “Why do you think Swami Sachidananda died?”  Interesting question, really. Tuning into my being, the answer came, “to get away from his disciples.”

He had completed his work in that place and death has become the socially acceptable way to walk out and require those who have come to depend on you to become independent.. “God wants us to become spiritual adults.” Is how I, later, heard Leonard put it.

Swami Sachidananda is clearly an highly achieved individual in my eyes. This meeting took place shortly before he moved on and, he was clearly at a very high level of spiritual potency.

Swami had been invited to offer the opening prayer for the meeting that evening.  I rushed into the auditorium for the beginning and dragged a chair at the back of the room and aligned myself with the center aisle so that I could have a clear unobstructed connection for Swamis prayer.  As Swami sat motionless and uttered his incantation blessing to the assembly before him the water bowl on the table beside him containing the flower arrangement cracked and split splashing water over the floor, knocking over the candle and setting the table cloth on fire.  I was barely aware that anything had happened, completely transfixed on the Swami as people on the platform behind him put out the fire, folded up the cloth and dropped towels over the spill on the floor. No one in the assembly seemed to notice, either.

"Why does he and others not stay?" is a natural question, really. One we rarely hear asked or discussed..

I have Leonard to thank for offering these and other interesting, worthwhile questions that might otherwise go unasked. And, for inviting me to join in the fun of answering them.

 

 

"everybody's moving on forward, couldn't stop it couldn't ignore it.. why don't you move it with me..."

...earth, air, fire, water, intelligently interacting.... embodied in love infused with Spirit... ~!~

Are the winds wrong for raging? Is lightening wrong for striking?Fire for its destructive qualities? Lions for roaring? Dolphins for attacking sharks? Is life spiritually undeveloped for eternally expressing these qualities? Earth, Air, Fire, and Water clashing, crashing, igniting, blazing, swirling, pooling, serenity and love.. Life is all of it, as far as I can tell

what I know is:

The Earth (mother, mater, matter) loves me
The Winds love me
The Waters love me
the Fire loves me
Divine Mother loves me
Babaji loves meAll life is sacred and precious.
There is peace under the heavens
All is well.
~'~

"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."
Black Elk (1863-1950)

If Boganathar, the Jnana Guru of Babaji, initiated the healing tao in the orient, it makes sense to me that he would have initiated in in other places, as well... and, that a regional, cultural version would have blossomed from it...
... and, quite possibly, a new emergence will come out of western thinking once it is able to integrate the information and the money system begins to function as a means of support for what is most intelligent and beneficial.

is just beginning, really.. 

I have lived with a dog as part of the family.. I served a particular role and function in a busy family and Little Bear came under the umbrella of care, coordinating and facilitating that is an aspect of a household with growing children... many hands and varying schedules in and out covering most of the day.. and, Little Bear jumping in and out of cars, going for runs and swims at the field... salty, sticky, fragrant days of sweet salt air...

.... this will require a whole different strategy, and, so far, I am, thoroughly, enjoying it...
my breath freed spontaneously at the site of several engorged ticks in his ear and crawling through his long, gorgeous, hair. I am beginning to see that the idea of 'the perfect childhood' is a huge joke... there are ticks! in the world.. and, poop happens.

I am grateful for the community of loving support surrounding me and joyfully welcoming Henry into the fold.

And, I have hope that staying with the breath will allow me to open consciously to all the love that is there. And, increasingly and potently lessen the incidence and influence of habitual and neurotic patterns of thought.

Relaxing into a hot bath, yesterday, I could feel the shivers of ancient ghost memories as they freed through the subtle column of my spine...

ultimately, much is about melting these patterns of tension... heat is, perhaps, an ultimate healer... or, at least, an aspect of an ultimate healing system... a system of healing that can, ultimately, heal anything... such as the Tao.... the Natural Way.. and, Rebirthing Breathwork, of course.

much love,
peace

TO TO THE TOP OF THE LINE FOR PEACE

Aliveness and Relaxation is the natural awakened state. ~!~

Allowing everthing to be exactly as it is frees us from the prison of criticism and judgement and frees up the flow of universal love and life.

Willingness be here, to be alive and receive life energy and vitalization throughout our system feeding every cell of our body with the perfection of pure creative consciousness... to say, "Yes" to life.

Pure Qi - energy without content.. carrying the shakti energy of Life and Love

Pure Feeling - is emotion, (energy in motion), without content or story attached to it... 

* Coming to know this through experience is the basis of this practice.
