		<description><![CDATA[Dean's monthly update of news, and a preview of things to come on DeanRamsden.com. This post also includes a video of a Chinese New Year lion dance: in celebration of the Year of the Dragon!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Enter The Dragon!</strong> In the West we celebrate the Gregorian New Year on January 1, but out here in Asia it is followed up with the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration: 2012, the year of the male water Dragon. It&#8217;s a noisy holiday, as you can see in my video (click the photo of the Lion on the left). The Chinese consider the Dragon to be unpredictable, and everyone is assuming 2012 year will be a wild one. Strap yourself in!</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s New on DeanRamsden.com</strong></p>

</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.blog.deanramsden.com/sessions/">Go here for my rates</a> and other info you may need, or <a href="mailto:dean@deanramsden.com" target="_blank">send me an email</a>.</p>
<p>Coming soon: the 2012 <a href="http://www.blog.deanramsden.com/astral-energetics-1/" target="_blank">Astral Energetics home study class</a>. I will also be teaching my Japan student and public classes in April.</p>
<p>I am offering a July (or early August) 2012 week-long training intensive in advanced chakra cord work (taught only in English) here in North Borneo, for the adventurous amongst you. Details to follow later this month, or contact me directly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="pretty" src="http://www.blog.deanramsden.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Mount-Kinabalu-2011A.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>My long-dormant <em>Newsletter</em> will be reinstated this month. I&#8217;ve been consumed with my private practice, teaching practice, and website development, for the past year, and the newsletter had fallen by the wayside. But now I am committed to sending out them out monthly.</p>
<p>On a personal note, I am having a creative time preparing some of my material for an eBook publication later this year. Between Skype healing sessions, teaching work, writing/photography work, and website development projects, I&#8217;m living a happy and fulfilled life, and I do wish the same for you.</p>
<p>Finally, I want to express my appreciation to my favorite WordPress theme author, <a href="http://themeforest.net/user/ThemeBlvd" target="_blank">Jason Bobich</a>, for all his impressive work. My current website design is an upgrade from a previous Jason Bobich theme, and now comes with all the bells and whistles you could possibly want from a professional website. My new WordPress site is termed &#8220;responsive&#8221;, meaning that you can view it on your iPad, your iPhone, your Android (or other smart phone), and the site  should be easy to read. With the addition of a faster web server put in place during January <em>DeanRamsden.com</em> is now prepared to dance with the Dragon! I hope you come back often to enjoy all the additional articles, mp3 audio, and video that will be posted here over the coming months.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for visiting this site, and please don&#8217;t hesitate to post a comment or send a private email with suggestions or comments for this site.</p>
<p>&#8211; Dean Ramsden</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had descended beneath the hyper-modern Japanese architecture of the DHC Inn outside of Tokyo, and into <em>The Heavenly Spa</em>. Upon first entering the lobby I had gasped in recognition of something only dimly remembered, except in my dream life: sweeping white walls, phantom lit translucent glass, curved walls that seemed both small and enormous at the same time. The reception area to this, The Heavenly Spa, and the sea-water treatment rooms, the massage areas, all glowing from within, courtesy of concealed lighting, and filled with understated relaxation music … all surprisingly overwhelming my rational mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.blog.deanramsden.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/spa3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2518 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px; border: 1px solid black;" title="spa3" src="http://www.blog.deanramsden.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/spa3.jpg" alt="" width="518" height="292" /></a></p>
<p>Then it hit me. This Japanese Spa looked and felt like the great white hospital in the Astral World. A huge and brilliant-white building, the Astral hospital is one of the places that recently-departed souls may visit if they have undergone a traumatic or sudden physical death. If we are impacted by a rapid transition from the physical realm into the non-physical, or if we leave the material world disorientated or traumatized, we may find ourselves transported to a triage facility, for immediate help. But, soon after, we will be moved up into the Astral Hospital, for long-term recovery, and for necessary spiritual healing. Physical death can be tough on a soul; sometimes you need time to integrate the life lessons just learned, in preparation for your  return to your next physical incarnation.</p>
<p>The late Robert Monroe, a master in the art of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astral_projection" target="_blank">Astral projection</a>, had often referred to this facility as a “Way Station”, a place where souls transition from one life time to the next. I have spent time at this Astral Hospital myself, although I have almost no memory of why I was there. Today the impact of the DHC Spa architecture and ambience was evoking a powerful déjà vu experience for me. Something triggered my animal body to breathe deeper, and I dropped into the Astral Hospital altered state. No effort, no time, and no agenda were present, here in this bone-white healing space. Only rejuvenation awaited, only compassionate release from painful memories, and the preparation for a new adventure and a new body. It was delightfully familiar to me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.blog.deanramsden.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Japanese_Meal.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2540 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px; border: 1px solid black;" title="Japanese_Meal" src="http://www.blog.deanramsden.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Japanese_Meal-300x249.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="249" /></a></p>
<p>Three hours later, we had left the salt-water Spa for a traditional Japanese dinner, ending when our Kimono-clad hostess brought in the final course: fruit jelly, topped with a scoop of cream. The entire meal to that point had comprised of outrageously-fresh seafood, rice, and vegetables. As the dairy in the dessert hit my taste buds, my body woke up anew, joyously impacted by a familiar taste from the West. For the second time in the day I was shocked awake by a memory of the past. Once again my soul dropped unexpectedly into the place of wholeness, and the recognition of what we we gain when we choose to embrace life. In this moment of sensory delight, where novelty danced with the familiar, all was well. We are reminded, again and again, that the shock of any event we can experience in life can ultimately be healed, leading us to regain what we thought had been lost.</p>
<p>The Astral Hospital remains out there still, ready for any of us that may need it should this incarnation thing ever get out of hand.</p>
