Whatever the question is…dance, movement, breath, play & MUSIC is the answer!!! Do you agree?
No matter what the scenario when I remember to put some music on even one song and breath, move my body in anyway it desires and allow myself to be playful it’s shifts EVERYTHING.
I remember as a little girl my mum would put on music on and out the stereo out the window to the patio in the garden at that time it was mostly swan lake and off I’d go prancing around, feeling free and liberated in movement and fully present in the moment or in my bedroom with a full floor to ceiling mirror wardrobe(mirror work started early 🙃) with Aqua playing my favorite album witnessing my true essence just me, the music and my body. I was and still am to a certain degree a bit shy…and of course the awkward teenage years etc arrived not feeling like I was a good dancer because I wasn’t necessarily “good” as following specific steps and the perfectionist/judge within was loud. So roll on a couple of years of alcohol infused WILD dancing…then I was bored of that and not really such a nightlife/alcohol person…I found my way to sober/conscious events and ecstatic dances which have been life changing!!! a space to feel fully embodied, free to express, roll around the ground, move gentle, slow, be still, be a wild animal…without judgement/alcohol!!!! GAME CHANGER!!!!
And what I have remembered again and again in this path is the things that brought me JOY as a little girl are the same things that bring me JOY now too. Since then over the many years I’ve been sharing this in different shapes and forms of organizing Yoga & Ecstatics Dances, during workshops/yoga classes/Breathwork, Ecstatic Awakenings and now MAPS TO ECSTASY and what I believe to be true is this is one of our MAPs home to ourselves where you don’t need any fancy equipment just you, some music, your body, breath, your curiosity and your trust!!!
