SHALL WE DANCE?
Intention
On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen, this is my healing ritual
Shall we dance? On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?…Or, perchance, when the last little star has left the sky, shall we still be together with our arms around each other and shall you be my new romance? On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen, shall we dance? Oscar Hammerstein/King and I

Oxford Languages Dictionary
Since you have asked how it is done — how do I heal? — shall we allow a question to answer a question?
Shall we dance?
Shall we accept healing’s invitation
to partner
with paying attention?
Yes, even before the musicians tune their instruments — summoning bright clouds of sonatas, mantras, spirituals, and show tunes to quicken our spirits and buoy our bodies back to life — let us pay attention. First, to the balm of breath — the deep drawing in of the Light that spawned and stokes our souls. Then — ah — the soothing, sweet, sacred release of fear costumed as angst, anxiety, anger.
