    About this ebook

    Dr. Michele Ritterman's latest book The Tao of a Woman (2009) is a tool for us to carry with us to move from the symptom trance to the healing stance. From Trance to Stance, is her latest understanding in a therapy of shifts, as occur in martial arts, instead of labels of people and visions of individuals as damaged, as opposed to wonderful, unique works in progress, like Michelangelo's Prigioneri series. WE ARE ALL WORKS IN PROGRESS! The goal of psychology is to help create a HUMAN FRIENDLY SOCIETY that caters to the bio-rhythms and other real and natural needs of the human organism.

      The Tao of a Woman - Michele Ritterman

      know.

      I

      The Gift

      The Gift

      The Gift is what we are offered in life.

      It is neither what we asked for nor what we want.

      The gift is to be admired from all angles, but we do not have to pick it up. Don’t accept a bomb.

      How we will use our gifts is a mystery.

      We never know where a gift will come from.

      The happy life is a process of exchanging our gifts with other people and with the environment.

      Greatness is often associated only with giving. If we never took in air or food, we would die. Why is it different with our spirit? What if we associate Greatness with one who knows both abundance and humility of spirit, who gives with generosity and receives, from The Other, with grace?

      1. Giving

      Some say that to give

      is the greatest good.

      I say:

      reciprocity

      is the higher form

      of love.

      If giving is good,

      isn’t give

      and let give

      better?

      2. On the Need to Be Liked

      If you want people to like you,

      give them a chance

      to dislike you

      for who you really are.

      Then,

      if they like you, you

      will know that they

      really like you.

      3. Expectations and Wonder

      Don’t expect

      anyone

      to think like you do

      about anything.

      Might not your favorite shade tree

      block

      your neighbor’s light?

      This is the stance

      from which

      mutual curiosity

      may follow.

      4. The Giver and The Gift

      When you are offered a criticism,

      leave that gift on the table

      so you can admire it from all angles.

      before you decide whether to pick it up.

      A gift may tell you more

      about the giver

      than about yourself.

      When my son was four,

      he gave me,

      for my birthday,

      a shiny, bright red truck.

      Often people give what

      they love best or what

      they want or need.

      If there is love,

      it is in the act itself.

      You can appreciate the act

      and decline the gift.

      5. On Receiving Criticism

      Welcome criticism!

      Be sincerely hopeful that

      you’ll find in it a surprise

      or a buried treasure.

      It is unfortunate

      that most criticism

      falls short of the mark.

      But … be hopeful!
