\"\"<\/a>While preparing for my trip to New York, where I go dancing to refresh and to cheer others on their path to become a 5Rhythms teacher, I had some reflections on how life treats us and how we treat life…<\/p>\n

These meditations brought me to Charlie Chaplin’s speech at his 70th birthday on April 16th<\/sup>, 1959. I like it, because it tells us something about how we develop growing older, it tells us something about the practice of life…<\/p>\n

To me what he says resonates deeply with what I experience from practising the 5Rhythms, all the threads that we dance, all the threads that we move, all the threads that we weave; weaving wave after wave, hour after hour, day after day, year after year, a life-time… All the threads that we weave into our endlessly creative, own designed, unique fabric; retrieving our amazing body, our dear heart, our beautiful mind, and authentic soul… our pure essence…<\/p>\n

I would like to share his words with you\u2026 as an inspiration for our dance, for beginners and oldies, for teachers and teachers to be…<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.
\nToday, I know this is AUTHENTICITY<\/p>\n

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody as I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me.
\nToday I call it RESPECT<\/p>\n

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.
\nToday, I call it MATURITY<\/p>\n

As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm.
\nToday, I call it SIMPLICITY<\/p>\n

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health-food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
\nToday I know it is LOVE OF ONESELF<\/p>\n

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right and ever since I was wrong less of the time.Today I discovered that is MODESTY<\/p>\n

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING is happening.
\nToday I live each day, day by day, and I call it FULFILLMENT<\/p>\n

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally.
\nToday I call this connection WISDOM OF THE HEART<\/p>\n

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.
\nToday I know THAT IS LIFE\u201d<\/p>\n
