Secrets of the Inkas Seminars Provide Life-Changing Opportunities to Engage With Nature Jan 4-9 in NYC

The chance to begin 2014 by acquiring the secrets to be empowered by nature and increase your NQ (nature quotient) to live in harmony with your world will be taught in two life-changing seminars led by Elizabeth B. Jenkins Jan. 4-9 in New York City.

Naalehu, Hawaii (November 25, 2013) — The chance to begin 2014 by acquiring the secrets to be empowered by nature and increase your NQ (nature quotient) to live in harmony with your world will be taught in two life-changing seminars led by Elizabeth B. Jenkins Jan. 4-9 in New York City.

Jenkins, an organic farmer and international best-selling author of three books on the Inka Nature Wisdom Tradition, will travel from Hawaii to New York to provide a rare opportunity for Americans to learn and apply the nature wisdom of the ancient Inka civilization of Peru.

“This training opportunity will be of great benefit for people in the healing professions, for people who deal professionally with other people like salesmen or business leaders, and for anyone who loves nature,” explains Jenkins who was born with special nature wisdom that was heightened while living for four years in Peru. “Others who have been drawn to these seminars have been people who love nature, people concerned about climate change, and members of the Audubon Society, Sierra Club, and other nature organizations.”

“Inka Mysticism: Level 1” will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. January 4-5, 2014 at the New York Open Center, 22 East 30th Street.

“Inka Mysticism: Levels 2 & 3” will be from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. January 6-9, 2014, at the New York Theosophical Society, 242 East 53 Street.

The Level 1 introductory session will cover the first four of seven energy principles of the Fourth Level, the basic world view of the Inkas, which teach us to:

– Experience the world as living energy
– Learn to exchange living energy to deepen our connection with nature
– Acquire a philosophy of complements where there are no opposites, no positive or negative energy, no good or bad.
– Develop the practice of healing first self and then others by learning to absorb the heavy energy of others, to take charge of a situation, overcome fear and bring about change through personal empowerment.

In Levels 2, & 3 participants will learn further Inka tools on how to collaborate with natural processes, how to make a ‘despacho’, the ceremonial practice of reciprocal exchange with nature, as well as how to create their own power packs or ‘mesas’ to effect healing and increase Nature communication, learning how to make a traditional offering specifically for the environment in which one lives to increase harmony and health in home and community.

Persons attending the seminar could get a head start, if they chose, by reading Jenkins’ recently released book The Fourth Level: Nature Wisdom Teachings of the Inka (ISBN 1491240903, Pu’umaka’s Press, 2013, $19.95, 251 pages, (http://www.TheFourthLevel.org). Jenkins’ best-seller The Return of the Inkas has been translated into 24 languages.

A licensed psychotherapist, cultural investigator, and worldwide teacher of the Inka tradition, Jenkins is founder/director of Wiraqocha Foundation for the Preservation of Indigenous Wisdom and as a teacher of Inkan spirituality has been leading trips to Peru for more than 25 years.

In 2010 Jenkins served as technical advisor and guide to the DISCOVERY CHANNEL’s Beyond Survival with Les Stroud where she led Stroud and camera crew into the Andean mountains to join the Q’ero Indians on their yearly pilgrimage to the holy site of Qollariti.

Early-bird discounts are offered to registrants who sign up before December 2, 2013, and savings can be realized by signing up for both seminars at the same time. To register for the seminars go to http://www.thefourthlevel.org/events.

Can Disco and the Blues be Combined? Don’t You Want to Know?

This was the question composer Michael Droste wanted to answer. Through his Play The Blues series at PlayTheBlues.com Droste wanted to teach everyone playing a musical instrument how to play the blues.

Streamwood, IL, November 25, 2013 – This was the question composer Michael Droste wanted to answer. Through his Play The Blues series at PlayTheBlues.com Droste wanted to teach everyone playing a musical instrument how to play the blues. He released 16 different recordings to teach everyone, on every instrument, the blues changes, and give the pros and beginners many choruses to learn how to solo in the blues.

“For this particular release,” he stated, “why not combine disco and the blues together and see how it sounds?” Pleased with the results, the recordings are now available for everyone at every online music retailer.

As fan of the Chicago blues scene, he continues to create recordings that combines the blues with jazz, hip hop, techno, and rock. “One should not be limited to one style of music with the blues,” he said. “The blues changes slot well into other genres,” Droste stated.

As the Trumpet is his main instrument, he could understand the frustration of trying to find some blues recordings for soloing in a key for his instrument. “I wanted the Oboe, Clarinet, Trombone, Piano, Alto Tenor and Soprano Sax players each to have their own dedicated recordings,” he stated. “The only solution was to release 16 different recordings, one for each instrument, and provide all levels of musicians with many different musical keys and styles,” Droste said. That goal is still being realized with hundreds of recordings released at PlayTheBlues.com

Not wanting to short change any instrument the series is made accessible to all with versions for the guitar, tuba, wood recorders, and drum set. Each recording also includes a mini blues tutorial at the end of the blues choruses. There are instructions at PlayTheBlues.com of some ‘magic notes’ that will sound good with each recording, and their specific instrument and key.

Luxury Travel Ltd has a Successful World Travel Market London 2013

His two British representatives and Pham Ha, CEO and founder of Luxury Travel Ltd. held high level meetings with representatives of a large number of companies and the leading specialists of the luxury tourism industry.

Hanoi, Vietnam, November 25, 2013 – His two British representatives and Pham Ha, CEO and founder of Luxury Travel Ltd. (www.luxurytravels.asia) held high level meetings with representatives of a large number of companies and the leading specialists of the luxury tourism industry.

“There are many tour operators and travel agents who are interested in our award winning luxury tour operations and who are looking for new luxury travel products in Vietnam thanks to new direct flights and huge demand from British travelers.” said Pham Ha.

“Vietnam is getting more and more popular in the UK and Ireland markets and we have many new contracts and accounts. We are seeing particular demand for Myanmar and the biggest growth is expected for this country, which is becoming more popular in the UK due to political changes and new developments. This year again, Luxury Travel is an official supporter of Responsible Tourism Day at WTM”

He stressed that the UK market is very important to the company and that it is seeking to dominate this market with more staff and increasing the number of private small groups that it serves. This will be primarily through tailor-made holidays via the sales office based in London.

Beautiful beaches, year-round green tropical parks, mighty rivers, unique fishing villages, special culinary characteristics … are always the force of gravity of Vietnam in the eyes of foreign travelers. In recent years Vietnam has justifiably become one of Asia’s most fashionable destinations for high-end British travelers.

Luxury tourism is not just about limos and five-star hotels, but creating memorable experiences and Luxury Travel ensure that its guests feel part of the place rather than a casual observer, the authentic experience being particularly popular with visitors from Britain.

Getting off-the-beaten track, relaxing on the beach at less visited places such as Con Dao and Phu Quoc as well as combining Vietnam with visits to Cambodia, Laos or Myanmar are great favourites with the UK market.

Vietnam is appealing to British visitors because of its safety, affordable prices, authenticity, lovely weather and convenient direct flights with Vietnam Airlines. Luxury Travel Ltd.’s booking record indicates that British travelers prefer cultural experiences and beach extensions, while many also combine Vietnam and Cambodia or Myanmar into one trip.

“British holidaymakers like custom and private tours, not big groups. The boom in demand suggests that holidaymakers are becoming increasingly canny and watching exchange rates as well as seeking out keenly-priced packages before deciding on their destination. ” he said.

Further to the positive response from the market Pham Ha expects two digit growth in the next year and he confirmed that his representative office in London and sales and marketing team will expand its private stand and come back to WTM 2014 with a bigger exposure.

Vietnam Airlines provide directs flights Hanoi to London and Vietnam receives annually 100.000 Britton travelers and Luxury Travel Ltd (www.luxurytravels.asia) served 1.000 British travelers and enjoyed 200% growth from this market in compare with the last year. The company has rep office and takes part in major trade shows in the UK and expects two digit growth in 2014.

This year, Vietnam expects to attract 7.2 million foreign visitors in all markets and 35 million domestic tourists with revenue of US$9 billion.

In 2012, the tourism industry generated 6.85 million international and 32.5 million domestic trips creating around US$7.6 billion in revenue.
