The Healer's Dance

The Healer’s Dance

This Dance reframes Nurse and Coach

This Dance invites patient/client/fellow human to the dance floor of Healing

Gliding from the stumbling “you must,” to the grace of “what if”

The Nurse is open to listen – The Coach is invited to follow

Patient/client/fellow Human – Takes the Lead of this dance

Based in Theory; Praxis of Heart

Healing set by intention – Guided by Awareness

Relationships on level ground

Work of art; a symbiotic dance

Word, goals, actions, being

Change transpires in the stillness

Client/patient/fellow human presents the rhythm

Personal cues intertwined with gentle nurse coach direction

This dance may trail guided steps, often taking on astounding, uncharted trajectory

Curtsy/bow; magical healing occurs for all

The underlying rhythm silently builds mutual empowerment

Giving incentive for patient/client/fellow human to step forward; to lead

Nurse Coach has knowing to step back

A newness-learning, unlearning, relearning

In perfect rhythm, they move together in this new mode of dance

Swaying to the music created by the band, of perhaps many members

Majestically orchestrated by patient/client/fellow human

Humbly, with heart, nurse taking a seat

Restful, with assurance –

That genuine presence is the Healer whom guides

Giving way to a healing “dance” for both, Patient/client/fellow human

And Nurse Coach
