"What is the secret to boundless energy, vitality and a fearless spirit? Millions across the globe have been inspired by 97-year-old Tao Porchon-Lynch-- WWII French Resistance fighter, model, actress, film producer, wine connoisseur, competitive ballroom dancer, and yoga master. In 2012, she was named "Oldest Yoga Teacher" by Guinness World Records. The twinkle in her eyes and the brightness of her spirit capture you. Her YouTube videos have garnered over two million views. In June 2015, she wowed judges on America's Got Talent dancing with her 26-year-old partner to Pitbull's "Fireball." With Peter Pan-like endless youth, she says, "In my head I'm still in my 20's, and I have no intention of ever growing up." How did she get this way and how can we exude such light? [This] is an inspirational autobiography that shows us what is possible-- that we each can live to our highest potential by inhaling life, exhaling strife and dancing to our own rhythm. Through Tao's reflections, we are given the gift of insights from almost a century of wisdom that can be applied to our modern-day challenges. We learn her "secrets" to vitality while taking a soulful odyssey of love and loss, hope and joy"--Amazon.com.

Light Dance is a conscious transfiguration of the body, its movement and the encompassing space; a transposition of matter to light exalted in the dance. This corresponds to the conceptualized spirit of the performer whose body is "consumed" by light. A transposition occurs between the performer and audience. The audience experiences the dissolution of the body into light. In this thesis I assemble fragments of visible and inner light experiences and concepts of the body by an intuition of the spirit . The purpose is to equate visible and inner light. The writing is based on light as the physical self of the spirit; the significance of the body and movement. Specific examples are cited to create a contextual fabric for the inspired design of Light Dance.

This book is not your typical spiritual viewpoint and is not meant to be a spiritual development book but has the knowledge to contribute to the understanding of a spiritual nature. It is written from stored knowledge of many lifetimes throughout time that I have accessed through past lives, meditation, connections spiritually, information from my guidance system both spiritual and physical and through the many experiences I have had over the last 58 years. It is an in-depth book but simply written to create an awareness of a world or existence most of us are nervous thinking about because it means we have to leave this earth and time to exist in it or simply takes us out of our comfort zone.Dancing with the Light explains the process of earthly death, life after death and bringing it all together so our souls can continue on throughout time. We start with our Death and Transition through to the Spiritual Realms; the Cycle of our Soul, beginning, living and dying bringing Reincarnation and Past Lives in view as a complete cycle; Varying degrees of Soul Growth, the Spirit World and different Levels of Existence while there; how our Loved Ones and Guides appear or manifest to us making a difference in our lives. It gives us an Understanding of the Gifts we give ourselves such as Signposts to help us with our life back on earth and guidance once we leave the Spiritual Realms. Before each chapter I have written a small rundown giving an overall view of what that chapter is about. There are 8 chapters in this book and once read hopefully a lot of your questions may have been answered. Enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

In her remarkable book, Sondra Horton Fraleigh examines and describes dance through her consciousness of dance as an art, through the experience of dancing, and through the existential and phenomenological literature on the lived body. She describes, with performance photographs, specific imagery in dance masterworks by Doris Humphrey, Anna Sokolow, Viola Farber, Nina Weiner, and Garth Fagan.
