THE CIRCLE

What is left unsaid?

In the book Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan,  a doctor working with an indigenous tribe asked the people to name their physician or medicine person. The villagers replied that no one person played that role because everyone shared in it. They further explained that when the village dealt with sickness, the patient would sit in their midst as they formed a circle. A spokesperson would ask the patient, “What has been left unsaid?” Everyone would then wait until the patient found the words and said what had been unsaid. Sometimes the villagers would wait for days. Remarkably their cure rate was 98 percent.

Time for Exercise: as long as it takes

Properties Required: a circle of friends or acquaintances


Steps:

Form a circle…

Soul Freedom Exercise (16): Once Before I Die

ONCE BEFORE I DIE…
 
 
The soul exists beyond time and space, beyond life and death of the body. For the soul, death is merely a doorway from one place to another, not something to fear and avoid. But while we are in a body we are loath to think about leaving it. This simple exercise is a way for you to bring the subject of death gently into your consciousness without raising fear, so that death becomes a valuable advisor. No one gets out of life alive. As the realization dawns that someday you too will die, you find a powerful motivation to live now. By focusing on what you want, you will feel truly alive.

This very simple exercise helps you quickly identify some things which matter to you but which you might never have previously given yourself permission to strive for.

Time for Exercise: five minutes

Properties Required: none


Steps:
 
Each partner simply completes this sentence at least once or any number of times: “Once before I die…”

Comments:   
 
It is not required as part of the exercise that you do anything with your statements of desire. But once a desire has been spoken out loud, it has been given life, and you might be surprised at how you begin to mobilize your resources to move toward full realization of your desire. You might also be astonished at how quickly the universe comes to your assistance.

Soul Freedom Exercise (14): Foundation Stones

SOUL FREEDOM EXERCISES
Exercises To Do Together
 
 
FOUNDATION STONES

On a level of consciousness much deeper than the rational, you must come to believe that you have a purpose for being here, that you are capable of knowing your life’s mission, and that you have all you need to express your greatness and accomplish even the miraculous. This simple ceremony can help you acquire this vital wisdom.

Time for Exercise: 30 minutes, 15 minutes for each lover

Properties Required:

Seven stones of different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white (or clear). Polished stones purchased from a gem shop are best, but many items commonly available around the house will be suitable substitutes. Most important is that you have seven of the same type of object, one each in the seven different colors. Other suitable small objects include pieces of glass or smooth plastic, flowers, scarves (or other pieces of colored cloth), and fruit.
