Dancing Helix (spiraling DNA mobile sculpture)

"Using Nature as my inspiration, Dancing Helix is a visual metaphor into the mystery of the rhythmical formative patterns that lie behind all we see and experience. Dancing Helixis a springboard for the imagination and brings the viewer both peace and energy."
-Laury Ostrow, creator

Note from Shapeshifter: We can't even begin to tell you how wonderful it is to have this piece of "living" art in our home. The creator of this piece, Laury Ostrow, has put together an enpowering tool for visualization, ideally suited for those of us who are focusing on our DNA Activation work. We often take a moment to gaze at this undulating, spiraling mobile sparkling in the sunlight while listening to the DNA Activation soundscapes. The synergistic effect is meditational, resonant, inspiring and powerful. It provides a visual metaphor and an energetic focus for the direction of intent, to the unfolding process we are all experiencing on many different levels. We plan to eventually have one of these in each room of our living enviroment, as they serve as a continual reminder of our on-going transformation. We encourage all of you who are dedicated to this work, to get one or two of these beautiful pieces of art for all your living & working environments. We guarantee you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Your Dancing Helix comes in 3 models - Rainbow, Nova and YingYang beads. You can get the Dancing Helix in 2 different lengths to suit any location you would like to place them in.

INFORMATION FROM THE CREATOR, Laury Ostrow:

The Dancing Helix was the staff carried by Mercury, the divine intermediary between heaven and earth. Its later association as the symbol of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing, led to its current universality as the glyph for all healers. Its image is a vertical staff with two serpents entwined alongside, often in 3 loops, heads up, with a pair of open wings at the top. Quite a potent visual image!

The Dancing Helix is a window into many great mysteries. It has to do with the Kundalini energy; the Chi energy; the male/female energy. It is about the rhythmic undulating movement that twines around a stable central rod. It is the spine alive with life's energies. It is the core of being that becomes animated. It is about how vitality moves into life and life moves into spirit. Clearly we see and recognize what the medical profession has forgotten: that healing energy moves in spiraling wave patterns.

Our Dancing Helix is a visual model of this mystery. It is a kinetic impulse of energy sent through a medium that has linear order and elasticity. Science perceives in the Dancing Helix a slow-wave discrete element torsional transmission line. We recognize its beauty and hypnotic calming ability.

To us it looks like an undulating DNA helix; a spiral wave resounding up and down; a pattern that trans-forms from seemingly chaotic randomness to perfectly ordered sequence in a blinking of the eye. It is like watching the turbidity of a stream or the pounding of waves on the shore, only one that is uniquely linear and suspended in our living space.

Gazing at the Dancing Helix is a relaxing meditative event. Yet, it enlivens and inspires the imagination. As we watch the Dancing Helix wind and unwind we can move our breath with it and relax our bodies. We can gently bring movement to our spine in resonance to the movement of Dancing Helix and feel our own Kundalini activated.

It brings us healing by our association with its rhythm. It leads us to the portal were words fall short and patterns are potent with power. Just as visiting the ocean or being close to a mountain stream is both meditative and energizing, so is the Dancing Helix.

When the sunlight shines through the Dancing Helix, filling our living space with thousands of rainbows, we are enlivened as we remember the divine promise of hope made to us so long ago.

Laury worked with Terence McKenna on his Time Wave Zero project, modeling time as a vortex. Using the vortex as a model for the nature of our reality, Dancing Helix is a way of bringing this pattern, and a language to talk about it, into people homes and lives. "My feeling is that we are here to grasp, understand and share the pattern that brings us here and is here to help us in leaving."

 

Some testamonials from Dancing Helix owners:

I want to buy Dancing Helixfor holiday gifts. I am going to get the 21 YY with motor. I love my 34 CB, but you know, on cloudy days, I almost forget it's there! We have lots of fun with the black and white beads in the lab. Everyone come by to play with it when they need an excuse to goof off for awhile (the "play solitaire till you win" break has been replaced by the "disturb the Dancing Helixand wait till it returns to equilibrium" break).

We received your package and are in awe of the Dancing Helixpiece. It's remarkable. It represents air, wind, movement, color, light, science, reflectivity, creativity, contemplation, etc etc. As we all stood around oohing and aahing over it and trying to figure out where to hang it, I realized we need to re-do our entire office as there are some spots in need of some rejuvenated energy.

Received the Dancing Helix...it is incredible!!!

Light...airy...hypnotic...mesmerizing...just some of the feelings that swept over me, when I set-up my Dancing Helix. I find it intriguing that when you upset the motion of the spiralling DNA pattern, it will take the energy of the upset work it completely through the spiral from top to bottom and then return itself to its original pattern...a perfect example of an organized energy flow.

In the Feng Shui of the room, I use it for energy clearing. I have recommended it for many of my Feng Shui Practitioner friends.

"A short story - my daughter in law was seriously ill, and my son bought one of your Dancing Helixfor her to look at. I do not know why, but she got so much comfort from the Dancing Helix, and right up to the day she died this September, I felt she knew the caduce was there for her giving her comfort. I have a six bed board and care home in Novato, and thought the addition of a caduce would brighten the home and offer the same comfort.
