The fourth shamanic task is to awaken the soul to experience the power of Seeing. Seeing the difference between the real and unreal in ourselves and others.
~Gabrielle Roth
Dear Dancing Feet,
I have found myself in meditation these cold winter days on why the Soul was such an integral part of healing in Gabrielle’s 5Rhythms Medicine Mandala of Maps.
To truly See the wholeness that is our Soul, we must reSource our selves to a simple truth:
We don’t have a soul.
We are a soul and we have a body.
In order to be one with our Soul, we must come face to face, looking honestly into the mirror of our real and unreal self. We uncover the Soul’s persistantly greatest distraction –Ego– the part of our mind that prevents us from our fluid being, of always being always open and present to all of the possibilities that we are in each and every moment.
The Ego is that part of our self that creates the same old characters that we use to rationalize our actions. It is the director in our heads that chooses the destructive, repeating patterns that keep us seemingly “safe” in the moment, yet hold us far from being a unified and truly moving center of Soul.
Mirrors, the 5Rhythms Map of the Soul , is a deep investigation that is the culmination of years of our 5Rhythms practice of moving the body to still the mind.
We have reached the place where we can begin to seek the truths of our life, seeing clearly the real and the unreal in ourselves and shedding the masks that our Ego dresses our body with.
The Focus:
Taking responsibility for our actions and reactions.
The Outcome:
Knowing who we are and who we are not, making space within for our Soul to begin to guide our path of existence.
Are your dancing feet ready to surrender to your Soul?
Love,
Jonathan
