we are a little lower than the angels

..but I hear they're short of a few at the moment, so if you fancy your own wings then apply here.

book blog tour

Us little team of bloggers, we were recently contacted about whether one of us would like to review a book and host a blog tour for it. So being nice folk, and willing to read almost anything, we said yes. Well Jonny said maybe I should think about saying yes... The book is "Your Heart Knows the Answer: How to Trust Yourself & Make the Choices That Are Right For You" by Gail Harris. The website is www.yourheartknows.com According to the blurb, this is...

the first and only beginner's guide to teach how to connect with your inner wisdom, has been receiving rave reviews and now we are bringing this wonderful work to you. A lot of books talk about intuition, it's power and it's importance, but this is the first to teach how to connect with it so that people can lead a truly fulfilled life.

So my copy of the book’s arrived, now I’m going to read it and have to think of three questions for Gail when she visits dekhomai on her blog tour at the end of August. Any ideas welcome...

Techoshamanism

I've been thinking about how technology can serve as a resource on our spiritual journey. One example is, of course, the internet. I see it as a map to journey on and this site as a place where people can offers paths and signpost to sites that they have found helpful in their spiritual journey.

Technology can serve to resource our spiritual journey in many other ways, the DJ for example could be considered a techoshaman for an evening in a club. Their object is to bring participants into a techoshamanic trance, much in the same way ancient shamans brought members of their tribes into similar states of consciousness. As one DJ put it ' the goal is to hit that magical experience that everyone will talk about afterwards. Between 120 bpm and these sounds that the human ear has never heard before, you put them to music and it appeals to some primal level of consciousness.'

Right...I'm off to tribal gathering for a techoshamanic experience!

post a prayer

digital spirituality - lavalamp prayer

at the dekhomai stand at the london mind body spirit festival one of the things we have been running is a laptop computer with a few items of digital spirituality - we've called it iSpirituality. this may be a weird concept - i haven't seen any other stands doing anything quite like it. it took me by surprise the first time i cam across the idea of praying by lighting a virtual candle on a computer screen - i thought it would be naff but actually it really seemed to work - if all of life is endued with the presence of God then why not have a sacred moment at the computer?

i'll start a category on the dekhomai blog of digital spirituality to post up stuff we come across. first up one of the items on the stand - lavalamp prayer. i love this - it's so seventies! it's online and free just follow the link. when you click on a bubble a window opens in which you type your prayer. clicking amen then returns the bubble to the lamp where your prayer floats upwards until it's reunited with the oneness of the lava. you can also minimise the lamp so it is just there in the corner of your screen. cool eh?
