New monthly e-newsletter Energy And The Art Of Balance

I would like to announce that beginning next month, I will be starting a monthly e-newsletter called  Energy And The Art Of Balance. Its focus will be on how dreams and intuition can help us balance our spiritual lives with the world of our daily affairs. I have seen from experience that this subject seems to generate quite a bit of interest and it is a direction most of us seek as we continue forward on our spiritual paths.

"Through the practice of spirituality we strive for a connection with our spiritual nature and, often we want our lives to reflect that connection. Yet, my own experiences and conversations with other people have shown me that we tend to compartmentalize our spiritual lives separate from our daily lives. We don't always approach our own spirituality with the intent of combining the three main aspects of spirituality (mind, body and spirit) as an integrated whole in our daily affairs. All three play an equal role and have an important part in our connection with spirit".

-From the article Spirit And The Art Of Balance by Edward Bonapartian

His interest in dreams and spirituality has led him to attend workshops on a array of subjects such as divination, intuitive healing, shamanism and working with dreams.

International dreaming with the Dream-ruyaTurkiye group

The Turkish dream discussion group "Dream-ruyaTurkiye" was created last September, and had 75 members in a short time. World dreamers are welcome to join us in our discussions, many of our members write in both languages, and we are trying to translate the others in English as much as we can. We wish to be an international group, learning and exchanging knowledge with the dreamers from other countries and cultures.

Thank you very much - Ilkin

Planetary dream YEAR4 / Rêve planétaire AN4

N-B.: the solstice will take place precisely on Monday the 21st of dec. 2004 at 12 h 41 (Universal Time)

After the 7 Planetary dreams we had between 1982 and the year 2000, the Planetary dream 2004 (year 4) is part of a new set of Dreams related to the construction of the New era (The New Age).

Instructions for the dreamers: http://www.oniros.fr/PD04.html

In order to succeed the induction of the Planetary Dream 2004, it is advised for the participants to follow the classical rules for dream incubation (volontary induction of specific dream contents). See the incubated dream.

1. During the day and before going to sleep, become immersed in the call for the planetary dream and its theme: THE CLIMATE WARMING (GREENHOUSE EFFECT)

2. Just before you fall asleep and in state of relaxation.
- Immerse yourself in the visual support to the induction underneath:

One iceberg located at 150 km in the north of the arctic circle in september 2004. Without reduction of the CO2 emissions, the Arctic will melt at the end of the century.

More information about the greenhouse effect (in french)

- Induce the dream through a precise formulation like: "This night, in my dreams, I will think about the greenhouse effect an accomplish an ecological gesture."

3. When you wake up, record your dream as accurately as possible, whatever the content is.

4. Send your dream as soon as possible, before the 31st of december 2004.
- either by email to ONIROS:
- by postal mail: Oniros, Chitry Mont Sabot, 58190 - Neuffontaines, France.

Composition of the planetary dream
All the dreams sent by email or postal mail will be registered on the NET as soon as they are received to make up a specific electronic journal, «The Dream World», dated 21st of december 2004, available at the website for consultation by all the participants.

N.-B.: To be sure of the outcome of the Planetary dream 2004, the incubated dream has to be named, dated, with time indication, and sent with your email or postal address.
