Greetings...and please pardon the lapse in updates. We've been traveling across Europe and the United States filming and gathering new FloatingWorlds content.
SUBCONSCIOUS SOUL
New to the FloatingWorlds channel on Joost is Austrian multi-media artist Helmuth's Subconscious Soul, named after the soundtrack composed by Brannan Lane.
Subconscious Soul features Butoh choreography and performance by Kate McDevitt,
and explores a different conception of dance...one where movement is not forced from without but released from within.
The art of Butoh dance bridges the conscious and subconscious, revealing a physical and spiritual metamorphosis.

TANTRIKA
Also added to our Joost IPTV channel is Tantrika, the first of a series of meditation videos that center consciousness on the beauty of the human Presence. Inspired by the traditional Tantric discipline of controlling attachment by meditation on either decaying corpses or exquisite nude women, FloatingWorlds celebrates desire through a radiant appreciation of the human presence as consciousness is raised through all 7 Chakras. Tantrika reveals the luminous within everyone....the luminosity of The Floating Worlds. Filmed by John Wadsworth. Featuring exquisite Tantrika, Suzanne. Edited by John Wadsworth with Frank Ford, with a Tibetan Bowl chakra aligning soundtrack by Karma Moffett. Watch. Meditate. Feel your Floating World...
