b'If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a story is worth countless lessons. \\n\\nEach person who listens to a tale can see it freshly from the frame of their own life experiences and glean from it a level of wisdom that may have never been otherwise captured.\\n\\nMore so, because we continually grow and gain new insights throughout the course of our lives, as we return to these stories time and again we find that they offer us new wisdom that we hadn\\u2019t been ready to receive before. \\n\\nJohn Vervaeke speaks of this as being a kind of sacredness; a relationship between person and narrative that affords an inexhaustible fount of insight and discovery.\\n\\nThroughout history and across cultures, the most prevalent theme humans have been sharing with one another is the epic struggle between order and chaos. It is a universal truth that life begets conflict and that the most admirable trait a person can aspire to is the ability to face the challenges of their life head on. \\n\\nTo us, movement practice is a path towards that aim. It is a lifelong road that leads us from the \\u201cunbearable present\\u201d to the \\u201cideal future\\u201d. A daily commitment to becoming the self we most admire. \\n\\nToday Rafe is going to revisit the stories he told on our last podcast episode and tie them back into the frame of movement practice. He will explain how these concepts of order, chaos and the heroic journey can be powerful tools to aid us on our own path of self transformation. \\n\\nSHOW NOTES\\n00:00 - Intro and Forward\\n02:35 - Movement and the Heroic Journey\\n04:44 - Rafe\\u2019s History\\n11:54 - Congruent Principles\\n15:50 - Order, Chaos and the Heroic Practice\\n22:24 - The Dragon, The Slayer and The Tamer\\n33:17 - The Dark and Light of the Archetypes\\n37:04 - Parkour and the Parched Kingdom\\n\\nLINKS\\n[2 Heroic Conflicts]\\nhttps://www.evolvemoveplay.com/the-heroic-quest-emp-podcast-33/\\n[Roughhousing]\\nhttps://www.evolvemoveplay.com/do-you-remember-roughhousing/\\n[The Self Worth Esteeming]\\nhttps://www.evolvemoveplay.com/the-self-worth-esteeming/'
