Once upon a time, a beautiful princess slept soundly, so soundly that no one knew she wasn’t awake as she moved through her days and nights doing what all princesses are programmed to do.

Smile, curtsy, needlepoint, nod in agreement, and practice the reel, the dance she was taught to do with other courtiers on holidays and after banquets.
Graceful in her execution of the steps, the sweep of her arm, no one suspected that she was unconscious during the entire performance.

As a child, she giggled, sang, laughed, flapped her arms and pretended she could fly like the hawk on her older brother’s arm.

As she matured, she forgot how to laugh, to sing, and to fly.

Now, even though asleep, she helped her parents rule the kingdom, and occasionally looked out the window.

“When will my prince come along?” She didn’t know where that thought came from, only that she was supposed to think it.

One foggy night, she stepped into the garden and sat on the marble bench.
“Strange,” she thought. “My booty hath caught a chill” Since that had never happened before, she was more puzzled than uncomfortable, so she remained sitting on the bench until the chill went away.
“Hmmmm,”it was almost a hum, so her lips tingled. She imagined that must be what a kiss felt like from a prince. She continued to sit on the bench as she slept on through her life.

The leaves fell. The snow fell, covering her with a thin sheen of ice.
Spring arrived, melting the snow and ice, and releasing the princess so that she could return to the castle.

Only this year, she stayed seated on the cold, hard marble bench. This year, she closed her eyes and continued to sleep soundly which had become apparent to any and everyone who walked past her.
She didn’t hear their sighs, nor the tsk-tsks, nor did she care. Our princess was frozen from the inside out and the outside in.

Warm, soft lips tingled her cold, hard mouth. “Hmmmm,” more than a hum, no longer numb, the princess responded. She sensed an invitation, an offer of love, of kindness, of friendship. The offer touched her deeply.

Suddenly, she realized what she’d been missing in her lonely life. She felt her fingertips and toes wiggle. Then the warmth spread to her wrists and ankles. Arms, shoulders; legs, hip; neck and head began to move radiating a blush throughout her body.

She stood, she moved, she smiled, she danced!

Rejoicing, our princess realized her lonely days were over; she would never be alone again, because she had just discovered her (BFF) Best Friend for Forever, her body.

So, who needs a prince, anyway?

This fabulous fable is a metaphor for The Body Knowledge System®.

Our separation from our body begins shortly after birth and widens with every passing year.
Estranged by adulthood, most of us have feelings for our body—few of them positive.
We hate her, we are embarrassed about her, we focus on the “ugly” parts and ignore the beauty, the magnificence of this entity we need to live within.

Rather than gratitude for the functions she performs that leave us free to pursue our dreams, we resent her limitations: not tall enough to model, too tall to dance with the average American male, too fat to ever wear a size “0″ unless there’s a “2″ in front of it, too thin to have breasts that aren’t saline or silicone, too-too.

Girls as young as 8 or 9 years old “diet”, anorexia is a modern disease, women take male hormones to increase their strength and muscle definition, and aging is something to be feared, postponed, denied rather than embraced as a natural progression of life.

Once you end the estrangement with your body through the Body Knowledge System®, you are able to access the optimism, passion, and positive feelings resident at the cellular level of your physical self.
There is magic in motion, and as you dance your practice and practice your dance, you move closer and closer to the unity you both had at birth.

This is the organic, natural state of human beings: physical, intellectual, and spiritual embodied in one person.

To accomplish this, you need awareness of the estrangement, and once you acknowledge the separation, apply BKS to end it!

The positive energy that serves your practice comes from within you—everyone of us is blessed with love at our core, and the BKS helps us access it through communicating with our body.

Those who practice BKS and incorporate it into their daily lives experience the enthusiasm usually reserved for first love, birthday parties, or winning an Oscar!

Apparently, our princess needed/wanted a prince after all. Since ending the estrangement with her body, at the end of her daily practice she pirouetted into the courtyard and bumped into a herd of suitors.

The castle courtyard was full of knights, princes, male models, professional athletes, “D” list movie stars, frogs with puckered lips, and last year’s Dancing with the Stars’ 2nd runner up.

One by one she danced around each potential prince.

Stumbling past the male models, tripping over the frog feet, stubbing her toe on the NFL player’s cleats, accidentally knocking the mirror out of the male model’s hand, she does a perfect three point landing in front of the perfect prince: but how did she know he was “the one?”

She talked to her BFF, her body, and together they agreed to marry the prince, end world hunger, bring peace, and discover the cure for the common cold.

Spiritual people can be positive, enthusiastic, inspirational and truly believe in the benefits of their products or services.

However, if they are unaware of the estrangement from their bodies, they are only partially equipped to bring all the passion of their purpose to the market.

Without BKS® you will make sales, you will make progress, and you will make money; however, with a unified sales force pointed at your target market you will be amazed at the results.

Spiritual Marketing is motivated by the seller’s sincere passion for their product, their solid belief in the value of their service, and their confidence that the buyer will benefit beyond their expectations if they accept the seller’s offer.

Spiritual marketing is all about the consumer, client, and target market—more than about the product. If the seller doesn’t believe in their mission because of the value of it, he or she sells with the support of a small percentage of the energy available to them.

As soon as the BKS element joins the spiritual marketing efforts of the seller, solicitor, the combination optimizes their approach, their materials to yield a total, irresistible approach usually ending in a sale!

The Body Knowledge System® enhances the seller’s spiritual marketing efforts because of the integrity intrinsic in both. Both are truthful representations of value to the buyer, the BENEFIT to the buyer.
It’s not about the cost. It’s never about dollars and cents when the true value is found in the benefit of your book, class, training, coaching, services and products.

If you don’t believe in it, how can you expect others to buy it? Synergy from ending the estrangement with your body using BKS when added to spiritual marketing more than triples the results, because it increases the value of your products or services for the buyer.

Two are always more powerful than one.

How do you measure a ROI in terms other than cash? Happiness, Peace, Control of Your Life, Achieving Your Dreams? How do you quantify those?

What are they really worth in terms of dollars and cents?

Cash can not quantify intrinsic value— What value do diamonds have for a starving child?

“Land poor” refers to the irrelevance of acreage to the cash strapped consumer.

Jimmy Chou shoes are irrelevant to a diabetic.

Without cash for gasoline the Hummer stays in the garage.

When communicating with your body, you always know the answers to all of your who, what, when, how…and how much?

When combining BKS with spiritual marketing, your work will attract those like-minded people who will benefit the most from what you offer.

What are your thoughts?
