Step 25: Touching Demons

Mike:   There are many frightening sub-personalities roaming around in me.

Pat: Who scares you most?

Mike: Sadistic Man with his evil smile on my lips.

Pat:  Let the curl of your lips uncurl.  Feel the shape of your jaw bones with your hands.   Your jaw bones are your true smile. 

Mike: [Frowning.] Since my jaw bones are smiling I don’t have to smile.

Pat:  You’re pelvic bones are also shaped like a smile.  Let the smile in your pelvic bones move your arms and legs.

Mike:  [I lie on my back shaping my arms and legs into a smile.] My finger nails feel like claws. I’m a Vampire Man.   [I scratch my arms and legs.]

Pat: Put your finger nails on your heart.  Let your finger nails move to the drumbeat of your heart.  What do you feel?

Mike:  My heart is cold.  I’m “Heartless Man.”

Pat: Don’t put yourself down.  It’s my job to criticize. [Pat Goes down to the floor reaches a hand towards Mike.]   “Sadistic Man,”  “Vampire Man” and Heartless Man” are expressions of NOT-IN-TOUCH-MAN.  Feel the sensations of your hand touching my hand.

Mike:  When you touch me these frightening men vanish. 

Pat: Not-In-Touch Man is crying to feel touch.   So feel the floor and air while we rise up.

Mike [I start to sing as we rise up] “One of these days I’m gonna rise up touching.”

Pat: [Pat leads us down and as we fall to the ground. He sings and I join him.] And we’re gonna keep on sensing as we fall down.
