November, 2008

Current note from Ani

Last time I updated this website, six weeks ago, I wrote that  I am going thru big environmental changes.  Ah ha, I said, could this be my life is mirroring the planet. Well, with the financial crisis around the globe and the election of Barak Obama as President on November 4, we are ushering in a new era.  I hear news commentators and leaders around the world calling it transformational.  That is a word I am more used to hearing used in a spiritual context. 

My own transition moved me to Woodstock, CT in July. It is in the NE corner of Connecticut and strangely many New Yorkers and Bostonians have never even heard of it.  This area of CT is strangely remote, odd seeing it is in the corridor between Washington, DC to Boston, MA. I living with an artist.  Bruce Paul's sculptures are truly amazing.  Check him out at www.artmetal.com/bpfink/.

The summer was mostly about moving in and enjoying the first project we created together, a rock garden.  Now we've painted our three story living room, are working to get the wood in for the winter, and hopefully getting back to our individual work.  Yes, we are dealing with the challenges of change.  

I've added a new section to this website "Author" .  It explores the three books I have written.  Check it out. You can buy them through me.

What does this website and my work have to offer YOU? 

We are in a time of shift, some of us call it a shift in paradigms. AniColt.com  presents the specific work that I have been involved with that can help create this needed paradigm shift to greater coherence in the higher energies. Think of light, love and joy. The work is designed to help us consciously co-create our sense of Oneness, our healing, the balance of our inner and outer environment, and our evolution. It offers links to others involved in this consciousness work (and welcomes your asking to be linked.). 

A major emphasis of this site is on The Powers of Touch and the Transformational Touch Project.

Private Practice. I work with people, partners, families to help them have more great touch moments and individuals to help them love themselves and evolve.  If you live in the corridor of the NE seaboard or into Mass, NY, NH or VT see if this speaks to you.

The Powers of Touch

Spirit whispered in my ear that the right kind of touch will help jump start our innate powers to evolve.  Recent research proves that touch is healing. These are just two of The Powers of Touch.  Contact me to speak to your group or organization on "The Powers of Touch."

On a less grand scale, yet equally relevant, on an everyday basis loving touch can relieve stress and when it is shared among family and friends it is free. 

The Transformational Touch Project is designed to increase The Powers of Touch through raising our Touch Consciousness and our Touch Intelligence -- these two factors in themselves can help people feel more comfortable about the touch they share and even the touch they choose not to have.  The other aspect of the TT Project is to help us find new ways to touch each other that will help us.  HELP US?  Help our health, help our connections, lower our stress levels, calm our minds and nervous systems.  These are just some of the benefits that can come from certain kinds of touch.  

The intention is to create Touch Intelligent Communities. Another intention: to create a Language of Touch and a Touch Menu. Together they can help us understand what kinds of touch does what.

The right kinds of Touch help us be our best selves.  Yet, touch often brings up our "stuff".  Much as the book Emotional Intelligence, published in 1995 has help raise consciousness about the need to get smart about emotions, we must get smart about Touch.   

Participate

There is room to participate in the Transformational Touch Project. Collaboration and alliances are important means to create positive change. Plus, I love to work with teams.  And I am an excellent team member for your innovative projects. If your interest is piqued, let me know.

Stay in touch,
