Do you know what it means to be alive? Have you ever asked yourself if there's more to life than this? But you're busy...You have a career, a family, a social life and all that inner peace stuff looks so time consuming. And surely it means trekking to off-beat locations? Well it doesn't! Inner peace is a lot more simple than you think. In 'Dance with Life' a very modern Mira explores the realm of the heart under the practiced eye of a life-changing teacher. The journey is within, she doesn't even have to leave her front room! Travel with her and you might find that you'll never look at life in quite the same way again.
Sometimes on one's own personal journey there is a sense of aloneness and perhaps that is why we are drawn to such books - to know that we are not alone and that there is a personal journey that each of us must make. As this book says - 'Each soul carves its own path.' It is a long time since a book touched me so deeply. I think The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran may have been the last time and that was in 1986! Other books speak to us but this one knows. --Reader's letter
Excerpt
Prologue
‘Do you know what it means to be alive?’ he asks.
‘Do you understand that life is only a moment, just one moment after another?
Do you understand that?
There is no going back, no skipping ahead, just the moment called now, just the feeling that you carry within you.
Do you realise how much time is lost by spending all the
yesterdays dreaming of tomorrows?
All the ‘should haves’ and ‘could haves’ are meaningless.
Tragedy is when you realise this too late.
Tragedy is when the first experience and understanding of this reality comes with the last breath.’
She looks at him and sees the universe dance in his eyes. Who is he? She’s not sure, but the clarity in his gaze melts all doubt from her heart. In meeting his gaze she can feel the feeling of which he speaks. It is the most profound. It is a homecoming. She never wants to leave. He looks away and she is cut adrift. He smiles.
‘If you want this feeling,’ he continues, ‘if you want this kind of love, I can help you find it. It is within you. You cannot meet me at the crossroads. You must make a commitment to your own journey. No one else can do this for you. But just take one step towards me and the universe itself will bend to meet you.’
