Grey Oof! Just saw this now, Siona.... Yeah, flutters I think it was... no, "flaps", but I don't like it much. "Flutter" was the name to replace "Grapevine". Anyway, I just used "tweets" here because it's more readily recognizable. :) (9 months ago)

..may I introduce myself...

Markus [no longer around] said May 5, 2007, 7:43 AM:

 

Hello Everybody!

My name is Markus, I was born in the german speaking part of Italy, close to Austria and then moved to London where I stayed for 5 years. There I studied Sound Therapy with Liz Cooper ( http://www.sacredsound.net/ ). After 5 years in busy London I couldn't take it any more and moved to Thailand to recharge my batteries.

I have been consciously expanding my boundaries from the age of 18. The decisive moment came during a holiday in freedomland Holland where I had the most overwhelming and radical experience of my life. While trying mushrooms for the first time the little serpent at the base of my spine first stirred and then jumped up and raced up the spine, culminating in a sea of white light.
That was THE turning point in my life.
I started to research about what happened to me and quickly a whole new world opened before my eyes, a much deeper world than I ever dreamt of. I soon  found Wilbers books and from that moment on I was hooked. I was so enthusiastic about it that I tried to share it with my friends, but nobody seemed to resonate with (or make any sense of) his inspiring writings. In London I found the precious WIE magazine, which comes all the way to Thailand to quench my thirst for knowledge.

There is a strong calling within me to do something meaningful, to help others and the world in general. I'm thinking about moving back to Italy and start a sound therapy practice. I don't have any money yet, but as it usually happens with me something/body will come up and lend me a hand. :-)
Anybody a sponsor here?? ;-)

I'm very happy to be here in virtual lala-land with you and will do my best to contribute to the pod.

Nice to meet you! :-)

Markus

Hi Markus,


I like the sound of what you're up to (no pun intended) and look forward to finding out more about it.


Good to have you here, and swim strong in those strange tides…


All the best

Hi Markus,

Welcome - I’m quite new here myself but it’s great fun! Everybody here (well, maybe not everybody) seems very open-minded and there are some great ideas going around. Michael has a point though - watch those strange tides…

Where in Italy are planning on going? If I ever move back to Europe Italy will be my destination, I think…I’ve had enough of freedomland Holland!

Again, welcome here, looking foward to your posts.
