Relax your jaw, relax your hands. Dancing with a slightly
open jaw will relax your whole body. The jaw in yoga is
linked with the pelvic area, so by relaxing the jaw, throat and
neck will actually help release the flow of energy in the hips!
Egyptian dancers always have their mouths slightly open.
This is why lip-synching will often make your dancing very
relaxed. Also relax your hands, let them feel and flow with
the music. To test this, try to shimmy with clenched fists and

made them look like many. The same move keeps its hyp-

on the balls of her foot to lift the move. The move can be
doubled when the tempo increases or the beats occur in
more rapid frequency. It can be halved and slowed down
to create accented beats. Lastly, become a master of
space when you dance - learn to turn well, step into bal-

12. ….I will start this story like a fairy tale, because at the end of this conversation you will see that this has ended
exactly like a “ happily ever after” thing…
Once upon a time …
I was seated in my desk thinking exactly on how to develop a method to make my students improve their
dance in the appropriate way and faster.. 5000 thousand years ago there was a powerful technique ( talking
about Egyptian ancestral teachings ) that lead people to do things with 100 percent of efficiency speaking in
all matters, brains, bodies, minds and souls. Is the communion of this 4 things that make a human being to be-
have effectively but this can only be done by being totally INNER HEALED. All of a sudden like from heaven
this wonderful man Harold Grandstaff Moses, a musician that was brought from the stars started to talk to me.
He was promoting back then, a wonderful music that he produces, but what you will not believe is the result of
listening to this music, after his words I will explain the exact effects of it in mine and the others life….
Harold Grandstaff Moses February 24 at 6:38am
You seem like an angel, are you? ( smiling)
I am not an angel, as my wife and my friends could assure you. ( Smiles) However I do believe in angels
and I have a concept of being surrounded by angelic beings, forces and energies. There are times in my life
that I consciously choose to act from a place of highest good, and in those moments, the angelic energies
merge and blend with my own energy to a greater degree. My music follows carefully the laws of Harmony,
laws with which any good angel is intimately aligned.
What and who are you? ( Again, smiling )
I have a simple phrase which summarizes this question with a seed thought: “ I am a harmonically unique vi-
brational signature of the Divine - a chord in the Cosmic Harmony. ” It is something I teach at The Institute of
Harmonic Science, a non-profit educational organization in Phoenix, Arizona. This phrase, which we publish in
a variety of formats, is designed to remind us of our true essence. Like every aspect of Cosmos, we are vibra-
tion within a Field of vibration.
Many people are beginning to understand that our atoms, our molecules, our cells, our bones, our tissue and
indeed all aspects of our physicality are all vibrational manifestations. What is not understood so well is that
our feelings, our emotions, our thoughts and our spirit is vibrational as well. Thus, when I speak of my
“ h armonically unique vibratory signature ” , one of the things I am saying is that though the majority of our
atomic vibrations may be similar ( and in fact, mostly identical ) the vibrational content of my ‘ s elf ’ as a
whole entity is quite different from your, or any other being or form. It is this unique quality of our harmonic
uniqueness which allows us to express fully as our self. www.hgmoses.com

13. What is exactly do you want to transmit with your music?
This is such a wonderful question for a composer and a performer. My goal first and foremost is to be true
to Harmony. I am in love with the beauty of music - a beauty which is based on the architecture of ‘ right
relationship. ‘ I seek to utilize frequencies to convey emotion, thought and feeling. The end result is my
music creates a sense of an open heart, a transcendent mind, and a renewed spirit. I seek to transmit a
greater sense of being connected with the Harmony of the divine.
Does this music work with brain waves, or is it something different?
It would be fair to say that all music influences brain waves, however the result is not always positive. My
research in the field of harmonic overtones has allowed me to create a music which creates unique states
of consciousness which stimulate health and well-being.
Harmonic vibrational theory suggests that every cell, tissue and organ collectively participate in a venture of
vibratory agreement and disagreement. Our bodies, our minds, and our spirits exist as a localized energetic
field of frequency-based communication designed to bring the many parts into a state of wholeness - into a
state of Harmony.
We provide the listener with a sonic field which has been engineered to synchronize their heart, mind and
body. Dr. Andrew Weil said of our first harmonic CD project: “ The Drone is a powerful and effective psy-
cho-acoustic technology – a way to influence consciousness through sound. In this case the influence is
toward a desirable state of calm and attentive centeredness. I recommend trying it. ”
What instruments are used in here to complete the healing experience?
I have several distinct musical elements which I use in my compositions. First are the acoustic instruments.
As a violist, pianist and vocalist I am keenly aware of the impact live instruments have upon the body. Each
week I play music for patients at Cancer Treatment Centers of America as part of the Body-Mind depart-
ment. I am always moved by the effect this live acoustic music has on patients and staff.
Second, I utilize a proprietary form of engineering to create my “ Harmonics for Health ” series. Because
these engineered harmonic arrays can carry complex streams of bundled frequencies across a localized or
broad spectrum, numerous opportunities exist to stimulate and influence the body. Preliminary studies have
shown that engineered harmonic overtones can lower blood pressure, reduce levels of anxiety & stress and
reduce pain.

14. Finally, I employ extremely high quality orchestral samples recorded by the Vienna Symphonic Library in
Austria. These samples allow me to create scores which provide the sonic illusion of a full symphonic or-
c h e s t r a l e x p e r i e n c e .
What inspires you to get these amazing, healing results?
It is important to state that my intent in the beginning was not to create healing results, rather to create
beautiful music. As it turns out, music which follows Harmonic law, and is scrupulous in it’ s intonation will
create healing results. I am a faithful student of Harmony, and know that sound of beauty always reaps it ’
s reward upon the listener, and the performer.
When did you start to notice that you have the talent for a special music like this?
A major change in my playing began 20 years ago when I was still living in Boulder, Colorado. For a num-
ber of reasons, I decided to enroll in a course in eurhythmy, a form of body movement to music and sound
developed by Waldorf School founder Rudolf Steiner. After studying this method for several months I
played a performance of Bach ’ s “ Air on the G-string ” at the 1st Congregational Church. I had a very
mystical experience in which I left my body on the very first note and slowly ‘ f lew ’ from the balcony over
the pews in a large circle until I returned back into my body on the last note. Music was never the same for
m e a f t e r t h a t .
In the past 25 years I have worked extensively to perfect my skills in improvisation. As a classically trained
symphonic musician this did not come naturally. However I am now fluent as an improvisation artist and
have discovered my ability to play music which resonates deeply and personally with individuals. These
‘ m usical soul readings ’ have become a signature of mine which I utilize often to assist people in their
p a t h , a n d t h e i r p e r s o n a l t r a n s f o r m a t i o n .
Can you tell me a what other experiences have you seen from your listeners and clients?
My first CD “ Edges of the Soul” has elicited thousands of letters and emails over the years it have been
available. Many people tell me they listen to the CD daily and that each time the music takes them to a new
place. One gentleman, who became a dear friend, called me to say he had a problem with my music. I
asked him what was the nature of his problem and he said that he had been listening every day and he did
not want to go to work anymore. When I asked him if he had a favorite song he shared he was not sure
since he always left his body and went on a deep journey while the music was playing. One of the themes
of listeners comments is that my music takes people on deep journeys.
My engineered harmonic overtone recordings have a similar effect. “ The Drone ” , which has been an un-
derground best seller, is a mainstay for people who are on the spiritual path. The entire “ Harmonics for

15. Health ” series has created a rich collection of stories about the transformative power of overtones. My fa-
vorite involves a hospice worker who played “ The Heart Drone” for a patient whose breath had slowed to
once every 52 seconds and whose blood had pooled in his arms and legs. After 30 minutes of having these
overtones playing, his nurse reported that his blood circulation and his breathing returned to normal and his
vital signs miraculously stabilized - a state which remained for nearly 24 hours before he finally passed away
in his sleep. The harmonics overtones create remarkable changes in the mind, body and spirit. It is why I say
“ E ngineered harmonic overtones make the body sound, and the spirit light.” I see it this effect on listened
again and again.
Your latest job, what is it about and when will it be available in the market?
I am working on a book which is a guide to identifying and experiencing the power or your personal “ heart
note. ” This material is based on years of research and testing which shows that each person has a note
which is resonant with their own heart, and when that note is heard, and especially if it is sung, amazing
things happen within. This book will be available in mid April.
I am also completing the mixes for the remaining 8 “ H armonics for Health ” series. The first four have cre-
ated a real buzz in the transformational and health care markets. The entire collection will allow a listener to
literally program their day with specifically tuned sounds which will positively effect their consciousness, their
physical bodies and the quality of their spiritual connection.
When these material is complete, I other new recordings in progress which will showcase my piano and viola
improvisations. Meantime I am leading a weekly vocal gathering which teaches a form of improvisational
spiritual singing called “ I n-Chant” , as well as leading a new choir for the homeless through the Lodestar
Day Resource Center in downtown Phoenix.
Are there any special recommendations for listening to your music?
Yes. Be present and take the time to truly listen. Music is often relegated to the role of being in the back-
ground while the listener is doing other things. To me, that is a bit like walking to a table which is filled with
marvelous food and only smelling the aroma and enjoying the presentation. Music is best when it is treated
like a fine meal, where the notes are savored for their complex flavors and their nurturing qualities. Above all
my music is most powerful with the eyes closed while being consciously listened to and fully felt.
Are we going to have the chance to have you visit us in Colombia one day?
I would very much enjoy teaching and performing in Colombia. I offer workshops which are designed to pro-
vide participants with ways to experience music as a transformative practice and a spiritual tool.

16. My classes are rich in both the physics and metaphysics of sound and vibration. And of course I very much
look forward to playing you a “ musical soul reading” Cheryl. I would be honored to cooperate and create
with you in any capacity.

And this is how a great man says Good bye, the one we are Joint to have soon in our country.
After all this time of living his music, I have discovered that the world is easier when it comes to it. After I
listened to it the first time I knew that I will never use other thing different that Harold ’ s Harmonic Vibra-
tional songs; That ’ s when I thought on using them in my Oriental & Latin Arab as a complement of this
learning & healing of my girls, because it had an immediate effect on me. Since I work with people that
really need to raise their self esteem, they need to remember who they are and what are they doing in this
path, they need a lot of spiritual support due to hard lifes, hard situations they have faced. After all this is
why this music is about : HEALING.
And Harold’ s Harmonics did a great job, joining the method I have in the studio with his music was, like
my students say “ A miracle ” after every meditation. They call it a miracle because they have experi-
enced major changes not only in their attitudes but in their bodies; woman that have kids after being diag-
nosed “ infertile ” , people that come with some kind of illness they dare to say that is because of this heal-
ing process they are in in this place; as we all know that every illness has an spiritual origin this music can
change the wrong “ b rain waves” and turn them into the right ones by just listening to it. Healing proc-
esses and treatments where 100% effective and also a lasting effect which was exactly what I was looking
for.
Usually patients go to the spa, gym, pool, make sports, searching for a peaceful moment and even though
this feeling is good, it never lasts. As soon as they get home if there is a problem in motion the healing
process ends there. The method was created exactly to make this sensation of happiness everlasting. And
combined with Harold Harmonic creations, we made the hit. My students usually call his music, “ t he an-
gelic music” or “ the music from the stars ” they say that they feel transported when they start the

17. directed meditation with this music and the comments usually are : “ I feel I have changed after this ” .
“ I feel like I have left earth for a while ” . Isn ’ t this amazing ? Well all this is created for you my read-
ers, and now we all can have access to it.
From the deepest part of my Heart, Thanks so much Dear Harold for being present in this notes, and also
you my readers, you must know that we are going to have the pleasure to have this eminence of man
here in our country soon. Bellyqueen Superstars will make it happen for you. Just to prove all our dear
friends that there is a way to live heaven before we leave earth.
With all my love…

20. To all those who have found real love, never let it go ...
MORE THAN MY LIFE
By Catalina Rojas
To love more than my life
Is to forget the body and to let the soul free
Is to love until dead and keep on loving
Because real love never dies.
Loving in the way I love u
Is coming back to body when needs to be touched,
When needs to be kissed
When there is a need to feel the muscles trembling by touching the other one, your body…
I come back to my body when I feel the desire of caressing you while you sleep,
Or when your hands are in a hurry searching for me
To please the thirst of your lips before my naked skin…
And then, to leave the touch to faint
When the soul flies away again,
A journey where free of this body feels “ I love you ” and “ Y ou love me ” ,
Two free souls that in silence fight to light ashes already burned,
And feel that is shaking again,
To sweat, To scream, To love with my body and let it die, So later keep on loving with the soul.

I love you with its color, because they keep its texture,

El aroma de tu pecho fuerte,
The tender of your eyes,
And the madness of that so yours, so mine that you gave me one day in the afternoon,
One day of January,
Of fresh breeze, sunshine and eternal love!
I love you with the innocence of that day,

22. THE LEGEND OF THE UNICORN IN EUSKAL- HERRIA
by Koldo Gondra del Campo
Many are the countries where the unicorns appear like integral part of the culture and the legends. Nevertheless, in
the Iberian peninsula there is only and an unique legend around this “ magical “ animal : The unicorn of Betelu in
Nafarroa. There are strict details in it that converted the unicorn a popular myth, an animal, object of all greed, due
to, among other things, to the belief of the healing power that the horn possessed.
"Bit as a lion and kicked like a horse. ..Nothing is more freaking than the roar of this animal, therefore its voice re-
sounds as a thunder". These words were written by Ctesias, Greek historian and doctor of Artajerjes Mnemón, in
the IV century b.c. in his master piece Indika. This author assured that the unicorn, equivalent to the re´em in He-
brew, to the Chinese ki-lin or to the Greek monokeros, came from India. In Euskal Herria it was known as adar-
bakar or adarbakoitz.

23. Euskal Herria (which means the Euskera Country in Spanish)[1] is the term in Euskera as it was recognized, accord-
ing to the basque teachings society,[2] «a space or cultural European region, located boths sides of the pyrenees
that joins the territories of the Spanish and French states. Therefore, it is known as Euskal Herria or Vasconia to
the space that the basque culture is manifested in all its dimensions».
THE LEGEND OF THE UNICORN OF BETELU
Comes from the Araitz Valley, Nafarroa, a medieval legend is told in which an unicorn is the main star.
After many wars against Muslims, the king Sancho the great finally get to pacified his lands. He was married to do-
ña Aldonza and both of them had two virtuous daughters: Violante and Guiomar, the first one brunette and the last
one blond. They were jolly, smiling and they made happy all those with the ones that they lived with. One day, a
hansome Knight appeared in the Castel . He was going to fight unfaithful and far lands. And just with a look, Guio-
mar and the knight fell in love. Butt he very next day the gentleman had to go and he never went back dying in the
war. Guiomar very sad, but she was disimulating not to worry anyone.
Years later Aldonza died, and her husband, Sancho the king began to die of sadness. In spite of the good care and
attentions that he received from his daughters and servants, the king was weakened day by day. It longed for the
death to be able to go with his beloved dead wife. Medical and faith healers treated the king but none managed to
heal him, until a hermit arrived at the Court that after examining he assured that Sancho would be able to heal
thanks to a concoction that knew. That if, it should be drunk inside the horn of an unicorn.
As in the castle there was not no unicorn horn, the hermit assured that in the forest of Betelu lived one. According
to him, only there was an only way to capture it. Consisted on making it sleep in the lap of a virgin woman that not
to have suffered griefs of love. Therefore the unicorn will dazzled with the beauty and the female purity. Everyone
thought about Violante and Guiomar. The first one, the oldest, offered herself without doubting it and left to the
forest of Betelu. Upon hearing the to whinny of the animal escaped running terrified and returned to the castle.
The king was already dying. Because of it, Guiomar decided to go to the forest accompanied by a select group of
crossbowmen. She was still suffering grief of love. Upon arriving at a space, saw the animal and approached.
The unicorn was grazing when Guiomar tried to extend its hand to caress it. The unicorn cannot be deceived or
cheated, because of it, the animal attacked furious against Guiomar and crossed it with its horn. The crossbow-
men finished later with the beast. Guiomar had died and her body was taken to the castle next to the horn of the
unicorn.
The king healed after drinking the concoction of the hermit from the horn. But he did not live a lot more, since the
his daughter’s death broke his heart and no longer there were concoctions neither potions to be able to heal him.
In this legend Basque-Navarre some distinctive elements can be seen and magic capacities of the mythical animal:
Its fierceness with no equal, the taste of the unicorn for purity and the virginity and the curative power of its horn. .
There was a real case very seemed to this legend. The king Enrique IV of Castilla entrusted his better men the
mission to capture an unicorn with the only intention of curing his sexual impotence, since also was attributed to
the horn an aphrodisiac power not comparable to anything. The historian and naturalistic Ctesias describes the
unicorn as a wild donkey in similar size to the horse, with white body, dark red color head, deep blue eyes and

part, in contrast to the whiteness of the base. Ctesias says that those who drank from this horn turned into a cup
will not suffer of epilepsy and they were immune to poison.
The medieval legend of Guiomar is based, therefore, in an element of the old tradition but also in its own tradition
of the Middle Ages, expanded by San Isidoro of Seville in the VII century a.c. in his piece Etymologies. I mean,
Ctesias affirmed that the unicorn was impossible to capture, nevertheless, to San Isidoro drop out the idea him of
the bait using the maiden to achieve it. The description of the unicorn will vary, therefore, with the elapse of time,
being San Isidoro, in great part, the one that the gave ohysical aspect acquaintance in our days (white horse, with
beautiful hair and spiral horn) and the one that Christianized it.
EVERY LEGEND HAS SOME OF REALITY BEHIND
Many legends have some attempt truly. According to the sweedish paleontologist Bjorn Kurten and the Catalonian
biologist Miguel I Segui, there was at the end of Pleistocene (approximately, 1 million Years ago), in the Prehistory,
an animal that survived until no more than 5,000 years. It had two so straight horns that the Nature made it to have
a species of sheath hardened covering both, giving the sensation of having just one .
Was an antelope, of the family bovidae, call Procamptoceras brivatense ( There are fossils in the French Paleon-
tological Museum of the High Alps).
Also another called ungulate existed Tsaidamotherium in the Miocene and the Tertiary one (23 millones-5,3 mil-
lions of years b.c.). Was a real unicorn to all lights, a bóvido also, but that did not live together with the mankind.
The idea that it was a vision of an Indian rhinoceros the cause of the myth is not maintained anymore, therefore in
Mohenjo-Daró, one of the first civilizations in the Indus Valley , where Pakistan is, now a days, they knew to the
rhinoceros and they represented it also in boards and showed an unicorned animal , thicker than a horse and less
than a bull. In turn, the animals with two horns were represented in the seals with an "average moon" style
horns. This made it very clear, since this culture represented in its seals of soapstone (humid clay) real animals,
included the rhinoceroses, lions, orices, bulls, cows. ..etc..
In fact, one of each three seals found currently in the ruins of the city of Harappa represented these "unicorns", for
which two things can be deduced: or were very abundant animals or were scarce and venerated, judging by the
pedestal that have been represented also in such seals. Perhaps this animal survived to the Medieval Times (s.IV
to b.C), or were recalled during generations. Ctesias and other authors of those days were based on Babylonian
writings and they exaggerated and they invented many of their characteristics. As a curiosity, we may emphasize
that the first representation of an unicorn appears already in the Caves of Lascaux (15,000 to b.C.), in France, in
the "Parlor of the Bulls", near the entrance.

Nevertheless, the root of the myth seems to be real and

31. Egyptian Koshari or “ Calentao ”
There “KOSHARI”, Here “CALENTAO” but the flavor exactly the same, in this section you will be able the
most exquisite plates in Latin Arab cuisine and why are they gourmet fusions..
Imagine, mixing into a single dish, pasta, rice, lentil, chick peas, onions and garlic and adding to this chili
sauce. The idea sounds horrific, until one tries out an Egyptian favorite called Koshary. “I had always heard
about Koshary, and its importance to Egyptians. You can see it in movies and you would hear Egyptians in
Saudi Arabia describe it as the most delicious traditional dish, so I was keen to try it the moment I came to
Egypt. Now I’m an addict,” said Wael Fawaz, a Syrian medical student at Misr (Cairo) University for Sci-
ence and Technology. “You can’t visit Egypt and not eat Koshary, you’ll miss a lot,” he added.
Koshary is a traditional Egyptian meal that consists of a strange combination of macaroni, spaghetti, rice,
black lentils, chick peas, garlic sauce and a spicy tomato chili sauce, all topped with fried onions. It is sold
from carts by street vendors, in restaurants or even made at home and each is considered a different taste
experience. The Koshary man stands in front of the large containers that hold each of the dish's ingredient.
Usually, there is a line of people waiting to be served. Once you place your order, you stand in a row wait-
ing to give the Koshary man your receipt that states the price of your dish. At the moment you give him the
receipt the Koshary man grabs a bowl, and scoops a little of each ingredient into the bowl and sends it to
your table. Each Koshary dish takes about five seconds to prepare (of course, after the ingredients are
cooked). His speed can be surprising to you. “I have worked here since we opened 10 years ago, and be-
fore that I sold Koshary on a street cart, so I have to be fast. My hands are accustomed to the same move-
ments I do all day everyday, so you can say that I memorized the movements rather than think about
them,” said Aziz Awad, a Koshary man in one of the restaurants downtown.

32. As the Koshary man scoops, he knocks his metal spoon
against the sides of the bowls, making the Koshary sym-
phony that you won’t hear elsewhere. When the Koshary
man prepares an order of more than four the restaurant fills
with sound as if it was a rehearsal for a concert. “The res-
taurants of Koshary are very noisy. One sits to eat while the
Koshary man practices his drums in your ears. It's weird but
I guess it’s a part of the Egyptian identity which you get
used to in time”, Although if you visit the Atlantic coast any
relation to reality is mere coincidence ...
At the table, all the dishes are aluminum except the two glass bottles that contain two different kinds of sauce, one
made from vinegar and oil, the other from spicy red pepper. “The chili is a whole new dimension for the meal. You
can eat Koshary and it would taste good, but for it to be this delicious you have to use chili. That creates all the
taste,” said Waleed Abdullah, an office boy. Koshary is considered a meal that is inexpensive yet fills up the stom-
ach of an average Egyptian. “Koshary is both affordable and delicious.
