What?

You probably already know that Andrey Lappa's Dance of Shiva is the perfect cure for stuck patterns because it actually builds new neural connections in the brain and stimulates epiphanies.

You know it makes you super coordinated and puts you in the zone. It also sets you up for light bulb moments of understanding into your life whenever you need them (which means you actually get better at resolving your stuff ).

Here's the thing. It only works when you use it. So if you're not using it, maybe this will help.

The guilt-free practice

If you're anything like most of my students, your DVD is sitting around collecting layers of dust and guilt.

I don't want you to be feeling guilty. If anything, I want you to be able to resolve your pattern of "feeling guilty when I happen to be in a state of not doing." (Hint: Dance of Shiva can help!)

Here is what I've learned from teaching Dance of Shiva for the past several years:
1. everyone who works with Dance of Shiva with any degree of regularity gets huge long-lasting benefits.
2. almost everyone needs help getting into the habit of staying in the practice.
3. it's less work to stick to the practice than we think it will be.

That's why I created the Starter Kit -- to give Dance of Shiva newbies help sticking with it. Then I realized that even if you already have the DVD and are breezing through Level 3 -- you also need this material. So my gift to the Dance of Shiva community is a super-affordable upgrade so you can enjoy the Starter Kit too.

Learn Dance of Shiva and get it right: here's what you get with the upgrade

The tip sheets: "How to start and stick to a home practice" ( tricks to make it work). Special report #1: Getting Started (45 page e-book with tons of useful information).

Coupon for a discount on my upcoming Dance of Shiva book.

And who made you the expert?

There's only one person in the world who knows more about this practice than I do, and that's Andrey.

I'm Havi Brooks and I've had the pleasure of teaching Dance of Shiva to more than two thousand people around the world (yes, my co-teacher is a duck).

I've developed teaching programs for the first six levels, and at the moment am one of only two practitioners to practice the famed and dreaded Level 7. And as of June 2008 when "Bring on the Epiphanies" is scheduled for publication, I'll finally be able to say I wrote the book on it!

The main thing is that I've personally experienced the bizarrely wonderful results of this practice. I've used Dance of Shiva to stop smoking, change my eating habits, stop biting my nails and teach myself German, all in a couple of months. My students have big, crazy breakthroughs all the time. I want you to have them too.

Whenever I practice Dance of Shiva I wake up the next day with another one of those profoundly clear understandings that seemed like they should have been so obvious -- and somehow never came up in all those years of therapy. . Really powerful stuff is coming up for me in a very visceral way. It's amazing. My body "got it" this time -- it wasn't just a mind or heart understanding Oh, and I was a little worried because I have chronic pain in my arms and shoulders. But after I practice I have NO upper body pain, which is really unusual. Jill Shaw www.jillshaw.com
