size=3>Angeles Arrien, in her teachings on what is universal amongst indiginous
peoples around the world, says that there are four 'healing salves' to heal
wounds--dancing, singing, stories, and silence. When she is assisting people
with their soul retrieval work, to assist them in knowing how to heal---she asks
"when did you stop dancing? when did you stop singing?when did you stop being
enchanted by story? and when did you start to fear silence. The remedies of
course are to start dancing again, to start singing again, to start listening to
and telling stories again, and to start embracing silence again. These are
foundational healing salves amongst all peoples. And so, with the dance that OST
does with life, they would all be foundational for OST and other well done
participatory processes.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=Section1><SPAN class=590254701-26012004><FONT face=Arial size=3>This
work also reminds me to be very compassionate in using dance, singing, story,
and silence. Some of the people in the group may be very wounded in their
ability to participate at a deep core level.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
