Dance Your Prayers

This post has nothing to do with food or gardens but it does have to do with feeding the soul. My son applied for a job that he is very excited about and of course, being the good mother that I am, I go into fret mode waiting for the news as to whether or not the job is his. I sent an e-mail to my sister telling her about it and knew she would understand as her son recently went through the same process. She replied saying that she would do a dance. Recently, she has taken up the practice of doing little dances for the people in her life that she has hopes and dreams for, rather than fretting. For instance, her daughter was in China when the volcano blew in Iceland and her flight was scheduled to return through Paris, posing the very real possibility of endless delays for her. So, my sister did the "The Volcano Lets Her Through" dance. When her son was being considered for the new job, she did the "The Job Is His" dance. Yesterday and today, I did "The Job Is His" dance. It is an energizing, uplifting and powerful way to direct your concerns, hopes and dreams! Fret and worry are released through the wonderful power of movement...quite a metaphor, actually. I felt great afterwards and will be putting it into regular practice. I suggest you give it a try! By the way, her daughter made it home and her son got the job!
