Intimacy with Eternity
If you only dance when you are in the mood, you will probably only dance in a certain mood.
This is not a practice.
A practice is a process of bearing witness to all of the self, not just certain moods.
A Dancemeditation practice is dancing/moving regularly, with awareness, patience, respect, and appreciation. We go beyond habitual impulsiveness to a mature, sustaining relationship to our embodied consciousness.
Developing a practice takes years and years. I don’t know anyone who hit on it right away then kept it going forever after without cessation or resistance. I don’t know anyone who fell in love with the toil of regular practice. But I know many people who have fallen in deep love with the totality of their practice over time.
We appreciate the insights.
We savor learning about who we are.
We treasure the safe haven for de-bugging ourselves.
We have no words for the preciousness of our Intimate corner with Eternity.
My practice as of late has become a sensory trajectory exploration – I bear witness to myself taking notice of sensations, how the air feels on my skin when I move in certain ways. This happens when I slow down and seemingly diminish my movement, yet I discover another level of sensation that reminds me of the complexity of life’s nuances and how these can be accessed in utter simplicity and surrender to the deeper promptings of my body, and thus, ultimately of my inner sanctum.
