"Disease is inertia. Healing is movement."

Counsellor's Diary

By Roger King

SOUL DANCE

Being open to change or stay the same?

Dancing the 5 Rhythms each week, my intuition and my ego have a battle and at present it is about whether to put myself forward to train as a 5 Rhythms D.J. dancer/facilitator. The training looks intensive and expensive, yet I know this creates commitment and an inner discipline.

A few days ago I put out my arms and said an affirmation: "I am open and receptive to a wonderful music system and the finance to pay for it."

In a few days, the infinite mind manifested a great music system in a wonderful synchronistic way. I just give thanks for the dance of that infinite mind that I believe is always there to answer our inner and outer destiny; this I sense is being in tune with the infinite soul dance.

Learning to be a very different kind of DJ is a real challenge at 58! Maybe it is the teenager in me asking to have a life in an ageing soul?

Often I ask clients in my counselling practise:

"What’s the greatest risk: to stay the same or take a risk?"

Perhaps it is to stay the same. So now it is time to take good risks and let the path unfold.To experiment further with this possible change, I danced with soul friends in my local village hall a type of "5 Rhythms." As I facilitated the music and rhythms, I awoke inside to the love of music, opening my soul mind to the inspiration of the divine powerhouse.

When I dance the 5 rhythms, I find a release for much of the pain I have taken into my body and subconscious mind over years of negative self-talk and listening to other souls who unfold their hurt.

In the dance, I experience joy and deep pain in other souls as they dance their unique journey and I feel so privileged to dance alongside them and just thank them for allowing me to witness part of their healing dance.

I will let you know how this process continues.

At present, the family and I are experiencing the shock of feeling someone we love suffering disease. Now I am asking the divine universal mind to support us all so we can support each other in these coming weeks. As I write this I found this simple quote:

"The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world problems"
                                                     --   Mahatma Gandhi

My love,

Roger

P.S.   I’d like to recommend a book called "Connections" by Gabrielle Roth, which was a gift from a dear friend. And "Dancing for Living". This is a research project about women’s experience of 5 Rhythms dance and the beneficial effects on their emotional well-being.

I LOVE ANGELS!

This is a story from Joan Wester Anderson, author of the New York Times bestseller, WHERE ANGELS WALK, www.joanwanderson.com

Mary Joan McNamara is one of six children, but she and her mother seemed to have a special closeness. "She loved us all greatly, as I knew, but the relationship with each of us was different," Mary Joan says. Her mother had also developed an interest in angels, and in 1990, Mary Joan gave her a book on angels. In 1991, she gave her another and this time, she autographed it on the flyleaf: "Christmas 1991. To Mother, who is in great company. All my love, M.J." Her mother was thrilled with this book too, and put several of her own comments and thoughts in the margins as she read.  

A few years later, Mary Joan's mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. During the next year-and-a-half until her death in October 1997, the two women became even closer. Mary Joan's mother opened herself up in unexpected ways, and the two women spent the last four holidays together. "We said our goodbyes, and I will never forget that extraordinary time," Mary Joan says. 

Her mother's death, however, left Mary Joan grief-stricken. She was the only one of her siblings who was alone in the world, and her brothers and sisters seemed to be preoccupied with their own affairs. She had never felt so lonely.

The evening of her mother's wake, three women came up to Mary Jo, as she sat with an aunt. "I can still see their faces," Mary Jo says. "The woman in the centre was the most dominant, with short dark hair and nondescript glasses." The two ladies on either side were about the same height and age. They were very ordinary looking. Mary Joan had thought she would know everyone at the wake. But she had never seen these people before.

The woman in the middle leaned into Mary Joan. "You are Mary Jo," she said, which was the name Mary Joan had been called as a child. "We are friends of your mother's. She wanted you to have this." The woman handed her a book. Mary Joan barely glanced at it. Friends of her mother's? But who were they? Politely, she chatted with them for a few moments, and then the three turned briskly and left, as if their mission had been accomplished. A few moments later, Mary Joan went out into the hall of the funeral home for a brief break. She was still holding the book. She looked down. It was a book about angels.

The book looked familiar. Mary Joan's heart started to pound. Slowly she turned over the flyleaf. There was her dedication to her mother, written in 1991. She turned another page and another. In her mother's beloved handwriting were the thoughts she had noted about angels, her comments on her faith, on God. This was the book Mary Joan had given her mother six years before. But how had it gotten into these strangers' hands?
 
"Suddenly, the most wonderful peace gave over me," Mary Joan says. "I knew in an instant that the three women were angels, and they had come to let me know that everything was all right. My mother was in good company. I immediately went to my oldest sister who knew from looking at my face and my tone of voice that I had seen or experienced something inexplicable."
 
Mary Joan looked for the women the next day at her mother's funeral. She didn't see them. But she knew they were there.

The Mexican Fisherman

The American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

The Mexican replied, "Only a little while."

The American then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"

The Mexican said, "With this, I have more than enough to support my family's needs."

The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life."

The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat: With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor; eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles and eventually New York where you will run your ever-expanding enterprise."

The Mexican fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"

To which the American replied, "15 to 20 years."

"But what then?" asked the Mexican.

The American laughed and said that's the best part. "When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions."

"Millions?...Then what?"

The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."
