<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">Curator, <a href="http://lindaweintraub.com/">Linda Weintraub</a>, of the 2012 Hudson Valley Artists exhibition at the Dorsky Museum, SUNY, New Paltz, invited artists to send a gift, to <i>Dear Mother Nature</i> expressing their relationship to and feelings about nature. My gift, an idea from 2010 sketched out in my notebook, is an earth healing treatment that utilizes techniques from <a href="http://www.jsjinc.net/">Jin Shin Jyutsu</a>, an ancient healing art developed to balance the body’s invisible energy system. JSJ uses the right and left polarity of hands on the body, to “jumper-cable” and direct energy flows into distinct pathways to unify and integrate the body.</span><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">"Human beings have a quite different kind of energy than they had 200 years ago, or 500 or 1000 years ago; that today the energies of freedom are emerging in us, and that this is exactly the point where one can speak to, a kind of science of freedom.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">Once the bottom line in our stocktaking of the world has been found then everything must orientate itself toward this new energy situation. This includes recognition of the fact that a new manifestation of energy is in the world, represented by the human being; and that this is also something new in human beings--leaving aside for the time being the extent to which it has spiritual links to other networks of forces individualized in the world.</span></i><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">And although this is a given, it is still something that must actually be perceived, as well as practiced, taught and investigated."</span></i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My project of inserting copper rods wrapped with iron wire into the earth at specific points along the Hudson River has inspired spontaneous dialogue and interest from both friends and strangers. Leaving from a doctor's appointment, I bumped into my neon artist friend, <a href="http://www.rockypinciotti.com/" target="_blank">Rocky Pinciotti, </a>who I hadn't seen in years. Hearing about my Hudson River <a href="http://www.jsjinc.net/" target="_blank">Jin Shin Jyutsu </a>project, he excitedly suggested I go global with it, track all the points with GPS coordinates, and create a website to sell the copper rods worldwide. That very same week, having lunch with a friend in New Paltz, a stranger sitting alone at the next table, overhearing my conversation introduced himself, <a href="http://www.pazer.org/fsi/" target="_blank">Jonathan Pazer.</a> A once-personal-injury-lawyer transformed into a paper-folding-origami-artist, he too, was enthusiastic about my idea and recommended <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/" target="_blank">geocaching</a> as an added component to the project.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Coincidences, chance meetings, dialogue--what happens to us every day, creates our own personal algorithms shared within our social environment. Using the Taoist concept of wu wei and allowing each location to appear spontaneously is to be my method.</span><br />

My first earth acupuncture/needle insertion has begun in Stony Point, representing the coccyx, on the west side of the Hudson River.

Somehow the crackling light and roar in the sky felt ritualistic and perfect, as though the act itself and the copper material were summoning the skies and atmosphere. And as fate would have it, the rain stopped briefly so I was able to scramble up the wet rocks to hammer the needle into the ground.</span></span></div>

I am inserting into the earth, copper spikes wrapped in iron wire, along several chosen locations up the river representing acupuncture meridian points of the human spine. I am giving the Hudson River a Jin Shin Jyutsu energy-healing treatment called Main Central Vertical Flow (see first post).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
My selection process of where to place the needles develops into an historical tour of the Hudson Valley, and of place finding me, drawing me to it, by its sheer nature of energetic interest...and its ability to hold onto to something that draws attention and people to it. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And so I discover in Newburgh the place where Thomas Edison's very successful Electric Illuminating Company opened in 1884. Imagine electrifying and lighting up an entire city for the very first time. </span><br />

And Edison, known as the <a href="http://jawadonweb.com/?page_id=900" target="_blank">inventor </a>of the light bulb, did <i>not </i>invent the light bulb.

He noticed when playing the tape of a telegraph machine at high speeds, it resembled the sound of spoken words and this caused him to wonder if he could record sound. The ability to record sounds was by the gramophone, invented by Emile Berliner, and actually the first record player as we know it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Inventions and ideas about sound bring me back to John Cage, to his term <i>non-intention</i>, and his idea of allowing chance and indeterminacy to develop a plan of action..."to diminish that kind of activity of the ego and to increase the activity that accepts the rest of creation." It was by <i>chance,</i> and paying attention to weird unknown sounds, that drove and inspired Edison to end up holding a world record of 1093 patents.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth.</span></i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What is it that draws one to a place? Particularly with an earth acupuncture healing project such as this. I was asked recently what is it I sense or feel when deciding on a location to insert my copper needle into the earth. I replied it was simply an excitement I felt and a certainty. I have chosen the twelve cities along the Hudson River to represent energy points or chakras corresponding to the spine but then must find within those cities, the right place. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For some reason, choosing a place in Beacon, representing the Solar Plexus chakra, continued to elude me until I realized it had to be in the location I spend most of my time; the contemporary art museum where I work full time and exhibits many of my favorite artists: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-JfYjmo5OA" target="_blank">Agnes Martin</a>, <a href="http://www.walkerart.org/archive/E/A24315825E9BEAE26130.htm" target="_blank">Joseph Beuys</a>, <a href="http://www.robertsmithson.com/earthworks/ew.htm" target="_blank">Robert Smithson</a>, to name a few. It is a 300,000 square foot, naturally lit, industrial space along the Hudson River. On the edge of the property is a quiet reliquary of John Cage's collection of rocks used to make paintings during his Mountain Lake Workshop in Virginia. I am drawn to this place and Cage's belief in chance occurrences to "let" things happen and unfold in time.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In 1988, John Cage produced a series of paintings titled <i>New River Watercolors </i>at the Mountain Lake Workshop<i>. </i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Cage utilizes the</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>I-Ching </i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">or computer to compose his music or determine which material will be used to make a painting. These ideas developed from a Zen and Dada sensibility where "laws of chance" embrace all other laws and reveal a deeper sense of nature beyond the rational ego. Places we would never get to if left to our own thoughts and decision-making process.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Cage developed an extremely disciplined format in which to organize his decisions. Chance still involved discipline, to not do just anything, but to free oneself from the ego's likes and dislikes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Cage collected stones from the New River, sorted them into three groups by size and separately numbered each one.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What exactly is it about art, systems or relics that occupies our imagination? The remains of some great act, "something" left behind; what </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>is</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> that something?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm reminded of an experience from a decade ago. I thought for the fun of it, I would drive my then 10-year-old son to visit a Carmelite monastery that had advertised a <a href="http://www.ichrusa.com/saintsalive/teresa.htm" target="_blank">St. Teresa of Avila relic</a> on display. I was stunned and surprised to find myself sitting in traffic; hundreds of people were drawn to this place. Those long lines of people standing on city blocks waiting to see blockbuster museum exhibitions was nothing compared to this! All for a piece of cloth! And I without a camera! So impressed by this large audience, I researched St. Teresa and learned that her body had been exhumed several times after her death and "her heart, hands, right foot, right arm, left eye and part of her jaw are on display in various sites around the world."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">On another occasion, visiting the Museum of History of Science in Florence, Italy, I was able to get a photograph of the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2010/jun/08/galileo-fingers-museum-florence" target="_blank">finger of Galileo</a> in a bell jar moments before being told no photography was allowed.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Galileo convicted of heresy for discovering the earth rotated around the sun at a time when people believed otherwise.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ours is a capitalist, materialistic and noisy time. We need stillness to hear the sound of energy flowing through our bodies and I believe, once we learn to listen, we can hear the stories we are not telling ourselves.

A natural spa-like environment exists at the top of <a href="http://aestheticscafe.blogspot.com/2008/06/lake-minnewaska-lake-awosting-two.html" target="_blank">Lake Awosting</a>, with a quartz-crystal laden rock beach to lie on and a lake high in minerals to swim in. From years of hiking and swimming in this place, I have amassed a sizable collection of crystals found along the trails.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If the theory of rock crystal healing, which says, certain stones like crystal can convert energy by cleaning or changing it to a more positive form, is true; then can this rock change and heal a persons' energy?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This question leads me to the ideas of <a href="http://www.emma-kunz-zentrum.ch/e/index_e.html" target="_blank">Emma Kunz</a>, a Swiss healer and artist, who in the 1940's cured polio in a young man, by treating him with earth from a Roman quarry in Würenlos. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kunz, who owned a microscope and Geiger counter, discovered the medicinal pulsing properties of the white quarry rock. She turned the rock into powder and gave it the name AION A which is still available in Swiss pharmacies today, known as '</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Würenlos Healing Stone.' </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Her choice of the name AION for her rock healing powder comes from the Greek and means "without limitation."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Emma Kunz also created drawings as tools for healing. She would place her drawings on the floor between herself and her patient to diagnose the problem and suggest a cure. Her inventory of geometric patterns functions like a reference chart for the limitless energetic states of mind and body. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I think it is at this juncture, where one must take a leap of belief, hope, faith...and wonder if all that we think we see and know is all there is. What we feel and think has physical and measurable content and affect.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;">The heart with its continual circulation of blood to the body correlates to the telegraph's transmission of information over long distances and creates an accidental metaphor infusing this location with meaning.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The heart is the brain of the body and needs nothing outside of itself to work; it is auto-rhythmic, the source of the beat is within the heart itself rather than coming from some other area of the body.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To make the telegraph work, Samuel Morse had to find a reliable source of electrical current, and then build two instruments; one to send an electric pulse, and the other to receive it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Morse created a code of electric pulses, a dictionary representing words, and developed an instrument that captured the electric pulses on an electromagnet with a pencil attached, that recorded the mark of the electric current on a sheet of paper.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d; font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 18px;">My seventh earth acupuncture/needle insertion takes place in Kingston, NY, </span>on the west side of the Hudson River, representing the throat energy point in the body. I am inserting into the earth, copper spikes wrapped in iron wire, in twelve locations along the Hudson River. The locations represent acupuncture meridian points corresponding to the human spine. I am giving the river and valley a Jin Shin Jyutsu energy-healing treatment called Main Central Vertical Flow (see first post).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The choice of the specific site to insert my needles has created some kind of pull or magnetic force, that draws me to each location that can only be explained as feeling right.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The most powerful ancient sites and monuments throughout the world have one thing in common: the presence of <a href="http://earthacupuncture.info/geomancy.htm" target="_blank">earth energies</a>. Underground water, curry lines, ley-line power centers have the power to alter and uplift human consciousness. Ley lines, found at most ancient and sacred places, are part of the earth's energy system.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Upon reading <a href="http://www.ashnews.org/Pages/KingstonStonehenge.aspx" target="_blank">Crisipin Kott's</a> description of a an "ancient man-made energy vortex" or "magnetic hotspot" in Kingston formed by a megalithic rock formation, I knew immediately this was the place to insert my copper needle in my on-going <i>Main Central Vertical</i> project along the Hudson River.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My search for the site of Kingston's 'Stonehenge' turned me into a kind of dowser, searching without physical instruments for this rock formation. Its location was described as next to a business parking lot in Kingston Business Park and was deemed historic enough to keep intact prior to the development of two industrial buildings. I imagined it to be, at the very least, a destination marked by a path and sign and easy enough to find.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I was mistaken. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It took me three visits and hours of searching through the woods until I decided upon the below formation which looked like it could have been placed and arranged.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm reminded of Plato's allegory of the cave, where prisoners are chained in a cave unable to turn their heads. All they can see is the wall of the cave with a fire burning behind them. Puppeteers behind them hold up puppets that cast shadows on the wall of the cave and the prisoners mistake the appearance of shadows as reality. This 'theory of forms' asserts that non-material forms or ideas possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality and not the material world known to us through sensation.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What is it that draws us to any one particular place in the landscape...and how to direct attention or mindful intention to this location.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Hudson River school of luminous landscape paintings were masters of detail and observation and Church was considered one of the best landscape painters of his time. Driven by the transcendental philosophy of that time, writers and painters believed an individual's knowledge and experience could go beyond the self and visible world to gain a closer understanding of the spiritual, which could be found in nature.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">How does one define what it feels and looks to be, in nature, on the landscape, in one's body, with more than seeing with the eyes? How does one expand seeing and feeling a place in the kind of close-up looking and intimate touching, the kind that occurs between lovers or parents and infants?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Deleuze and Guattari have named this experience as <i>smooth space</i>, "the space of the smallest deviation...a space of contact of small tactile or manual actions of contact." We are intimately linked to the earth; bodies inhabit places and places are lived through and by our bodies. Earth retains memory of the past invisible to us. When body and place are intermeshed with intention, the result is mapping in a powerful way.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The purpose of this interconnectedness or evolutionary energy, is a transmutation into a higher inner-being or consciousness, in order to forward the evolution of the human species and with it, the planet. William Tiller, one of the world's leading scientiests on the structure of matter, furthers the idea in his book, <u>Science and Human Transformation,</u> stating, <i>"Thought energy is one important category of subliminal energy capable of triggering the cosmic computer system, which, when properly focused is quite capable of altering the vibration of water into that of wine or triggering even more impressive phenomena that currently fit into the category of miracles."</i></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The location begins large, as in the city of Troy, and then narrows down to a singular point, in this case, the Materials Engineering building at RPI, a place of intense and focussed study of meta-materials.</span></div>

Within the radius of my chosen cities, I intuitively knew by looking at maps and googling sites, where to begin; in the outer boundaries of a place allowing myself to be led to a specific point on the earth's surface. For some unknown reason, Albany escaped my wandering process. This was the final needle in this project and feeling lost in this open-ended process, I consulted dancer/healer/dowser Susan Osberg. Her dowsing method using a map of Albany yielded a response to one specific area that focused as a starting point. </span></span></span></div>
