The fundamentals of relationship – how to be with yourself, how to communicate with someone else, and how to take your place in a group. Can you be at peace in your own company, or do you always need someone else’s attention? When you’re with someone else do you lead, follow or jam it? Do you act nice, or stay in control at all costs? Do you trust your power enough to open up and be vulnerable with others? When you’re in a group of people do you hide out or barge in? How do you find your place and fill your role? Do you know how to change things when you want to?
The 5 Rhythms are in the end a pathway to love, from love, with love. The body tells the truth, so we get to see what we’re up to, but being physical is also the fastest way to let go and move on. And the wonderful thing about it is, you don’t have to think too much about it. Move, breathe, pay attention, and be open to changing. It’s enough.
