A Short History of Reiki.
By Gil Dekel (PhD) and Natalie Dekel (MPhil) – Reiki Masters and teachers. There are two versions for the history of Reiki Healing: a traditional story and contemporary one.

Read MoreChakras and Dantien.
By Natalie and Gil Dekel, Reaiki Masters/Teachers.

Read MoreRepresentation and Narrative in Popular Two-Dimensional Animation: A Critical and Practical Investigation.
by Natalie Dekel. Can self-observation of an artist/researcher on her work stand as an academic tool of investigation? I would argue that the process of moving from theoretical analysis to practical exploration of one’s own art work can challenge and enriche any academic research, and can establish better notion of authorship. I have conducted a research where the topic of hand-drawn...
Read MoreEngaged practice and authorship: Inquiry into the process of animation filmmaking as a practitioner and critical researcher.
by Natalie Dekel. I would argue that artistic ‘information’ is rushing through one’s body and mind, driving one to express in animated language of symbols and images what is ultimately a personal interpretation of subjective authorial nature. My research aims to explore this sense of authorship through my own artistic practice, by observing my experience as an animator in the...
Read MoreLines of the Self: artistic choices while creating art works.

Read MoreThe Silence of the Paper: Embodiment of ‘Artistic Personality’ in the Process of Art-making.
by Natalie Dekel. How artists embody their distinct personality, emotions and experiences, in the process of making an art work?

Either way, the actual process of...

Why meditation? Every day I wake up with the question: what awaits me today? and is it all worth it? To find an answer I look up to nature: I notice the birds singing in the morning, the trees dancing in the wind, and the first daffodils coming out. Perhaps the answer is just to live every moment fully as if it is the only moment that ever exists? But how can we live ‘every moment...
