Video of the Month - Living Light Hypnotic Art Therapy by Dr Franky Dolan

Living Light

Exercise:
Stop. And begin to dream about what it would feel like to breathe
light. Feel the warm stunning light, pouring rays of twinkling energy
onto your skin. Your feet are grounded into the earth, absorbing the
thick healing properties of the ground. You are on the peak of a
mountain and the sky is dark and vast above you. The wind is soft, and
you are safe. There is a presence, a light that is swift like a gust
of life energy that gently rushes toward you and hugs you with love.
This power infuses your cells and wraps around your every fiber. This
feels so good. This feels amazing. This feels alive.

Breathe. Focusing on your slow breath can bring a weary mind to peace.
Do this for as short or long as you need. It can help your emotional
health as well as give you some physical comfort. Open your heart and
your mind, and accept this as much as you can. You are loved.


The story behind Living Light:
This painting represents the connection between human, earth, and
spirit. And ultimately, the miracle of life. One flows into another,
creating synergy and the beautiful power of existence.

To pause... and to breathe in golden light is to refresh the soul...
Often when I am anxious, depressed or especially ill, I imagine a warm
cleansing light filtering through my body, bringing in vital colors of
nature. This light is shared between all things alive. We can call for
it, like prayers or chanting, and send it to another person who may
need a little healing.

This piece represents the powerful process being caught in one still
moment. It is a beautiful experience and I always feel empowered
afterwards. Please, share your own light and spread your magic with
all things living...

The Muppets & Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

(download)

This video has had close to one million hits in its first 24 hours of being posted on the YouTube site.

It stars dozens of Muppet characters, opening with Gonzo singing the first verse before Rowlf the Dog comes in on piano and Animal performs a drum solo.

The video was posted on the new Muppets Studio YouTube channel and quickly went viral. Beaker, Fozzie Bear, Statler and Waldorf, Swedish Chef, Sam the Eagle and Dr Bunsen Honeydew all pop up, while Kermit and Scooter make a late appearance. The video ends with Miss Piggy yelling: "Nothing really matters... but MOI."

Last year the Muppets ventured online with a 4th of July video.

The Muppet Show originally ran on television from 1976 to 1981 and Jim Henson's puppet creations went on to star in a series of movies, including The Muppet Christmas Carol and The Muppets Take Manhattan.

Jason Segel, the actor who appeared in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Knocked Up, is reportedly writing a new Muppets movie in which Kermit and co attempt to save their old theatre from developers intent on tearing it down.

Segel said he was a lifelong Muppets fan and working on the project "feels like all of my dreams are coming true".
