Thanks for this! I’ve really been looking into this for a while, do you know of any effective further reasources for this?

Just stumbling upon the blog now and loving this article.

Took me a year before I opened it – a solid year!!! I even loaned the unopened DVD to someone thinking I’d never want it back til I read how someone’s back pain got remarkably better.
Since that’s one of my issues, I was an indian giver!

Love how you talk about your to do’s waiting on the shelf patiently for you – that’s been my experience too.

Congrats on your spanking brand new practice – wish I was closer to be one of your lucky patients!!!

Danielle,

This is SO cool! Wow. I also bought Dance of Shiva and just looked at it (the box that is) for about three months before cracking open the video and actually trying it out. I also have a thing about exercise videos in that I never use them.

I love this post. Thanks for reminding me that my pace is the perfect pace!

Yay! I’m so happy about all this. :)

I’m a big fan of taking things really slow. I loves my baby steps.

[...] brain training thing Havi & Selma are always talking about. I even wrote a guest post about my epiphany of Matrix proportions earlier this week on her [...]

Great post, Danielle!! I’ve been a shivanaught slacker as of late, but I really loved reading about the slow way you approached things. I realized I like to move slowly and I felt so much permission in your story. So, thank you!

I love how everyone’s description of Dance of Shiva’s effect on them is SO different, and yet I relate to every single one of them!

This is EXACTLY what it’s like for me, too! “It’s like time has slowed down, each task is suspended in mid air and I can grab what I need to do. The rest of the tasks patiently sit and wait while I commence with the whole changing the world thing.”

Thanks so much for sharing, Danielle! And congratulations on rocking your exam!

My experience with Dance of the Shiva is very similar to yours Danielle! I gave myself permission to go slow too, and I think that’s the way I’m going to get the most out of it. The clarity and epiphanies I have experienced with still being in the beginnings of level one are plenty enough for me right now. There is plenty of time to learn more, do it wrong at higher levels, and welcome new clarity and hot buttered epiphanies in the future!

This is terrific Danielle! Yay for taking things slowly (although I haven’t quite welcomed that concept myself yet).

I let the DVD get dusty for about 2 months before I started and then made it my mission to master it and get through the levels.

But as we know, this isn’t the point.

Your experience is a great reminder of that.

Thank you so much for sharing :)

OMG. Now THIS is surreal. :) I can’t tell you how exciting (and a little scary) this is! Thanks, Havi for helping me along with my baby steps.

Love.
Danielle
