six degrees of separation

so much of my work is helping people to find their path, their Way, and correcting the wavy lines of behavior that hold the pattern in the tissue. first and foremost, as a body worker, we try to balance out that which deviates from what is their "normal" and set the compass on a better heading. in wholistic thought we would say that the lack of balance is a lack of ease, and a lack of ease is simply called "dis-ease" (dys-function, dis-ability, dis-enchanted) . to remove disease we simply have to restore balance.......

now you might say, "what is normal?" it is different for each person and finding that balance takes a lot of introspection, and a bit of exploration - well, maybe a lot too..... it is so easy to just follow the herd and expect that to be your path ( it didn't work too well for the lemmings...). hell, politics has gotten to be so mind numbing that we turn off any thought that might be original for something that everyone can agree upon. the days of revolution we embraced in the 60's has been replaced with "status quo" and a continual slide into mediocracy or even decline.

our health issues are mediated by pills, injections and surgeries long before we try innovative non-invasive strategies and self-balancing practices. perhaps this is also a metaphor for our everyday emotions and actions......... don't let anyone see you sweat, cry, or let go........ i was privileged to watch, on tv, Alexander Vladimirovich (Sasha) Artemev, the american gymnast, compete in the pommel horse finals in the olympics, only to fall and lose a chance for a medal. he had the most original, difficult, and exciting routine of the competition and risked everything for a chance to "do it right". i'm not sure i wouldn't have followed the logical lower risk route, but he had made it to the finals and he wouldn't have been happy to think he didn't give it his best shot........ you have to respect anyone that sacrifices rewards for ideals...... i'm still in awe of his abilities and poetic performance..........

so this brings me to the segue:

Segue (seg-Way) is from the Italian, meaning "there follows," from seguire, "to follow," from Latin sequi. a smooth transition from one thing to the next......

It's the only way that YOUR life is gonna have any value to you. If you're just living the same life that everybody else is living what's the point?

--Todd Rundgren

if you intend to make the transition from this life to the next, you need to figure out how to do it smoothly - and YOUR Way.......
