    About this ebook

    WARNING – this book contains strong language. Because when you wake up to yourself after forty years “dear me” just isn’t going to cut it. I wrote this to express everything I felt on waking up and as a manual for myself on how it feels to be free (just in case I ever forget). My practice, whatever it is on any given day, is to help people feel alive, to wake them up. The tragic part is that they often wake up for a moment; for one second, for a song, for an hour, for a day or a week, they wake up to themselves and then they disappear again. I don’t want to live like that any more. So this book is for me and it is for you, because I want you to wake up too and stay awake. Maybe you are my beloved, maybe you are my sister, my friend, a stranger who I will never meet, but I want you to wake up. This world is too miraculous for you to miss it.

      Everything To Dance For

      With unconditional love and hugs to all the people in my life who tried to protect me, tried to teach me, tried to love me, but most of all to the ones who helped me to be wild and free.

      Safety Advice

      Dear Fellow Traveller,

      A word of caution before you enter this book.  Take it at your own pace.

      Since I fell in love with massage in 2009 I’ve explored over two hundred unique practices and many other escapes.  I’ve had emergency medical treatment several times, twice for pedicures gone wrong and one I’ll tell you about in a moment.  I’ve been dehydrated, scarred, been left beaten and bruised and, of course, got lost. 

      I’ve also taught thousands of fitness classes and had various sporting injuries.  I almost never have anyone have an injury in my class - we always warm up.  We have a saying any movement is good because the chance of serious injury is so slight compared to the benefits of any exercise.  When you get in tune with your body, you learn when to slow down, drink more water, walk it out or just stop, and then it’s even easier.  You learn when it’s safe to take three steps forward and when you need to just take one.

      I’ve been blessed to have worked with some amazing healers, with traditions handed down through generations for thousands of years.  They know how to do these things safely.  The maximum amount of massage recommended at a time is two hours.  I’ve also had an experienced healer shake their head at the massage I had chosen and tell me No, you can’t take that – let’s do this instead. 

      I had no hesitation in experiencing a traditional sweat lodge in Mexico, but I know people have died in other sweat lodges.  I loved fire walking but I know that people have been burned when attempting other fire walks.

      The most common cause of death in the US is now overdose on prescription medication, including painkillers and anti-depressants.  Our modern way of life is killing us as surely as our modern diet.  It’s not working.  But when we try to reconnect with our ancient wisdom we have to be careful to treat that with respect and patience.

      I have a book by my bed about native American healing.  It has a warning about using herbs without proper understanding and cites an example of a women’s group poisoning themselves when on a detox.  The other night I decided to make a blend of essential oils.  So much better for me than a chemical air freshener, right?  I woke up a few hours later, my lungs burning (thank goodness the windows were open).  A call to an emergency helpline and I was advised to get down to the hospital to be properly checked out.  I’m okay but still recovering.

      The chemicals in herbs, plants and essential oils are just as potent as in a tablet, and just as deadly.

      You cannot get fit in one day.  You cannot grieve in one day.  I once went to a five star spa thinking Wow, this will be like having a week’s holiday in a day.  Then could barely stay awake for the next week.  There’s a reason we need to take time out. 

      When you open the door to feeling your real emotions it can be a lot to handle.  One step at a time is great progress.  This is not a quick fix.  This is a practice.  It doesn’t happen overnight (unlike asphyxiating yourself).  For the best practical guide to personal freedom please read The Four Agreements which is wisdom that is thousands of years old.  This book and my other books are just my experience of discovering ancient wisdom from my modern perspective.

      Freedom can be scary and dangerous.  Leaving a life where you know the rules can feel like descending into chaos.  We yearn for freedom and then it terrifies us.  People who are released from institutions, whether marriage, boarding school, prison or even concentration camps have experienced such difficulty in adapting back to ordinary life that they have returned, reoffended or even committed suicide.

      It’s hard for animals to adapt to being in the wild again (or in a safari park or reserve) when they’re used to being kept in a cage, but it can be done.  I believe we can adapt to freedom too, one step at a time.

      Preface

      To the love of my life,

      I know you don't understand why it's important to me, to keep going back to the past, to the things that hurt me, to the times in my youth when I went numb, but I think you understand it too.

      I survived.

      Things happened in my life that were scary and beyond belief and beyond sad, things that could have killed me.  Times I could have died by my own hand or others, I could have been an alcoholic or drug addict or a stripper in Vegas.  I look back now and it hurts so much to see how close I was to death, how easy it would have been to miss out on all this, to have never even met you.

      But the only way to survive the way I did was to let go of pieces of myself, to numb, to become someone else, like a secret agent in a war.  A sleeper.

      In the meantime I made my life amazing, sought out the best and most wonderful (darling that includes you, although you found me too), got so happy and met you and it was heaven.  But it couldn't work, because you were meant for the real me and she wasn't here.

      It is like the little mermaid, like I made a deal with the sea witch to give up a part of
