Dancing Earth


Book Description

The poets of North-East India, though belonging to diverse spaces, cultures, languages and religions, share a common bond. It is a sensibility defined by a deep connection with the land; the overarching presence of nature in their lives; the predominance of myths and tribal folklore; and the search for an identity. All this informs their poetry and gives it a unique flavour. Much of the distinctiveness of their work is also the consequence of contemporary events, often marked by violence. Like its title poem The Dancing Earth , the anthology too, is a celebration of this life, in all its unpredictable variety, richness and contradictions. So while Thangjam Ibopishak writes I Want to be Killed By an Indian Bullet and Chandrakanta Murasingh speaks of a minister with neither inside nor outside , there are also Temsula Ao s poems about her stone-people ancestors; Mamang Dai s portraits of swift rivers and primeval forests; and the Shillong poets with their mist-shrouded pine slopes, red cherries and gridlocked streets.




Dancing with the Earth Changes


Book Description

"It is increasingly evident that the dramatic consequences of the Earth's changing process cannot be avoided, that our civilization today is not willing to implement the necessary measures to stop the deterioration of the natural environment. It is up to open-minded individuals and their networks to engage actively where support for Gaia is lacking." --Marko Pogačnik, UNESCO Artist for Peace Dancing with the Earth Changes offers alternative insights into the process of the Earth Changes, inspiring a deep listening to Gaia, the driving force behind the ongoing planetary transformation. Marko Pogačnik's intention is to offer his worldwide work experience in the fields of geomancy and "Earth healing" to enable a better understanding of the complexity of those Earth Changes. Included are stories from several of Marko's dreams connected to the theme of the book, which will help to elucidate its pictorial language. The author also offers imaginations, as well as Gaia Touch and perception exercises, to support the reader attune to the changing Earth. The imaginations and exercises in this timely book simultaneously supports Gaia's efforts in creating optimal conditions for the future evolution of humanity and the elemental and spiritual worlds of the planet. The cooperation of human beings with Gaia and her elemental worlds is absolutely necessary for the Earth's transmutation to succeed. As human beings, with our creative imaginations and wide-ranging consciousness, we are the only ones capable of connecting the earthly and cosmic dimensions in this mutual endeavor to re-create the Earth as a place of peace and cooperation among all beings and all aspects of life. Marko Pogačnik's innovative forms of meditation and Gaia Touch body exercises and rituals give us the tools we urgently need now to meet the present and coming challenges of the twenty-first century. Illustrated with drawings by the author. Paperback with French flaps.
