Dancing With The Ten Thousand Things: Ways to Become a Powerful Healing Presence

by Tom Balles

Each day calls us to tend life beyond ourselves. Dancing with the Ten Thousand Things helps you answer that call and become a more powerful healing presence. You have the innate ability to be a healing presence. Imagine amplifying your gifts and applying them in your family life, friendships, work, organizations, and community. Transforming care and compassion into effective action will become your way of life. This book outlines the journey of waking up through being of service. You will observe two changes taking less unnecessary suffering and greater possibilities in the life you share with others. You will learn to consciously tend to life one moment at a time.Tom Balles has gathered his years of study in a variety of traditions and offers them as a gift. He succeeds in blending the richness of the deep wisdom traditions with daily practices to enhance your learning. This is very rich food for the body, mind, and soul. Take the time to digest this feast slowly over the days, weeks, and months ahead.-Robert M. Duggan, M.A., M.Ac., (UK) author of Common Sense for the Healing Arts, Co-Founder and President of the Tai Sophia Institute for the Healing Arts.

Unexceptional. Plenty of other books espousing similar paradigms. Commendable effort from a first-time author.

The book is a clear outline of the Chinese philosophy of oneness. The book is well organized and easy to reference. Throughout the book I found reflective questions excellent to ponder both on my own and in a group setting. I keep a copy on my desk at work to reference when personal conflict, project stalls, and other challenges come up. Usually I can find something here that helps me and our group move through what ever is going on with a new idea or another way to approach the challenge.
