"5 Rhythms" is the practice of meditation in movement (a technique of dance / movement therapy), created by Gabrielle Roth . This practice has absorbed elements of many world traditions, particularly shamanism, mysticism and Eastern philosophy.
to Use this idea as an organizing metaphor, suggested Judith Delozier.
Any suffering can be perceived as a call to change. This change takes place in several stages. Each stage has its own traps, the shadow side. "5 rhythms" - an appropriate metaphor for this process. It's a metaphor create a new When Ya mastered the new role, and when our individuality is manifested in this role.
First, we live in the flow of life, feeling who I am... they are in comfort. Then, something begins to influence us and to call for changes. This is the second stage – "Staccato." Next, start the changes themselves. We are at the peak of the wave. This stage is called "chaos". The next stage is characterized by a deep immersion into yourself – "lyrics". And the final stage – "peace of mind". At this stage we return to the stream. At each stage there is light and shadow. At each stage there is the risk of getting stuck, go to the shadow component of the rhythm.
phase 1 "the Stream". This is a comfort zone.
2 – stage exit from the comfort zone. Gabriella called this stage "STACCATO" . Staccato in music is the touch, sharp intermittent. And life as needed, adds to our strokes.
the Shadow side of this phase: "I am what I am and do not want to change and I will not!"
stage 3 "Chaos". This state, when the earth leaves from under feet, when there is no stability and confidence. This rhythm is especially important to maintain balance, feeling your center. The positive side - "That I released with a creative approach?".
Shadow : "what I cling?"
This rhythm not everyone can withstand and pass. Anxiety, panic, vanity, fear causes a person to seek asylum, something to distract yourself (alcohol, games, shopping,...)
But it is important to be able to pass through the alarm and to make important decisions. It is in these moments, these decisions become so important that they affect the future life.
stage 4 "lyrics". The positive side - "I'm going to a new determination. Who am I again? What do I need? What I'm going to raise now?"
Shadow: If it's all too artificial, if what I create is from my heart, not taking root in my uniqueness.
Here we go in depth to get out the most important and most valuable!
5 step "Peace of mind"
Here, I restored the field.
a Shadow there if I get lost, I can not go back to the stream.
most Importantly, going through all these rhythms - to keep the center.
This metaphor can be used in the consultation when it is important to understand the client the essence of his experiences and suffering. Why do we go through discomfort. It is possible to identify at what stage the client is stuck. Find something that will help him through these stages.
