Let the `’Light Shine

Thank you to BRC for supplying a place where other people can go and learn to be one with themselves, that being who we are is good enough, and indeed by design. an interesting sequence happened to me in the HeebeeGeebee camp. I was resting while awaiting my massage, when I got to talking with a lovely lady. while talking to me, she touched my arm in a very natural way of connection ( where I come from anyway ) , yet she was almost frightened by her own openness, and immediately apologized for it. So I told her that in my opinion this culture’s lack of naturally touching one another leads people to need therapy. after some thought she agreed and then the magic happened.

a HBGB healer came and announced that shortly he will start a workshop on Exotic Touch … a workshop in which people will transform their ideas and notions about touching another human being. within the first minutes this caught my eye. everybody was instructed to touch the person to their left. the crowd formed 3 circles. two complete circles within each other and a fragmented outer circle. the people in the outer circle who had nobody to their left … simply touched nobody — it would seem most natural to me, that if nobody is there to your left, then reach forward and touch the person in front of you. this in a workshop about touch, they bounded themselves by the vagueness of the instructions. in an entire event about opening up and expanding boundaries, not one of them breached that simple boundary set by a general instruction.

what are they so afraid of ?
