Step 66 Painfully Touched

Pat: [Holding my hands.] 

Mike:  Touch feels foul.

Pat:  Listen to what the foul feeling says.

Mike:  [I pull my hands away.]  It says: “I feel foul because I do not allow touch to pervade my entire body and mind and spirit. “

Pat:  [Offering me his hands again.]  You confuse the painful touch you received as a child with the present touch.

Mike: [I take one of Pat’s hands.]   I feel my gut blocking the invasion of touch.

Pat:  Great. You know what’s going on.  Invite our touching to radiate through your arm through your torso.

Mike: [From standing totally rigid I begin to relax.]  It’s not so bad now.

Pat:   You’re free to join and shape the dance that arises from touch in a way that your body, mind and spirit enjoys and desires.

Mike: [I sway holding Pat’s hands.]

Pat:  Swaying is habitual for you. Inspired by your swaying discover a move that surprises you.

Mike:  [I lead Pat in jumping up and down.]

Pat: Fun?

Mike: Fun.
