I can't imagine that anyone who is dancing with you wants anything other than to experience that particular moment with you whatever it might bring.<br />Sarasmwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872985563424976698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-33568494720033042602011-09-27T06:51:27.892-07:002011-09-27T06:51:27.892-07:00I really hope you'll get better.

Hassayampa, Ghost, and Matthew - I am following your advice (and Matthew, I found the book at my local library - thanks for the rec!) <br /><br />Deidre, I'm afraid I'm in central Texas - so far away, but thank you so much for offering. I'm starting physical therapy soon, and we'll see what that holds.<br /><br />Again, thank you everyone for the hugs and healing energy - it must be working because I'm actually getting a bit of sleep lately. :) :) There's a milonga tomorrow night and even if I just get to sit on the sidelines and take some pictures, I'm going.Mari K Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590742795319142058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-61312828638416904872011-09-22T02:55:50.642-07:002011-09-22T02:55:50.642-07:00I am so sorry to hear your story and particularly ...I am so sorry to hear your story and particularly to hear how it affects your dancing.

What always helps me is to know that nothing lasts forever. It'll pass. I love Ghost's/Andreas Wichter's/someone else's advice to stay still in the embrace for an entire song. I'm sure it'd help me.

He has some great insights into using techniques of mindfulness to help manage pain. I was always amazed by how mindfulness and tango overlap - and being in the moment will serve you well at every step (no pun intended). best wishes for your continued health and enjoyment of dance - MattMatthew J Brockwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17839747402330030216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-36687146186452466082011-09-21T09:58:11.982-07:002011-09-21T09:58:11.982-07:00*hugs*

But for me it's a profound experience, quintessentially tango. (It's sensible to put in few weight changes for comfort). <br /><br />*more hugs*Ghostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-74011696630489029322011-09-21T09:46:37.561-07:002011-09-21T09:46:37.561-07:00So sorry to hear this.
