That's what I felt as I watched. This is another world altogether and so so so needed. It was water in the desert, no doubt about it. The movement seemed both very accessible, yet we knew it came from such a different sense of being that it takes intense internal commitment to be able to do it. And a whole new strategy of being in the world to be that open and clear. For me as an artist, it brings to fruition a vision that initiated my spiritual quest 30 years ago. It also launches a new level of the vision. A quiet cataclysm. I agree, Sandi. That’s what I felt as I watched. This is another world altogether and so so so needed.

Truly a gift to be able to share such a rich, deep Presence with a receptive community in the warmth and love of this practice. I am thrilled for you Dunya for your discovery that deep embodiment can work in a theatrical context. This awareness could change the nature of performance to the Truth we so seek.

In any Body Mind Centering class or exploration that I have done, this is a given. But is this actually true--thank you for your questions, what exactly is going on? Genny Kapular teaches a wonderful anatomy class where we will, for example, be guided to access the pituitary gland, bring our awareness there, which I understand stimulates it. Then you can in turn feel the qualities of the pituitary (or ovaries, or heart, or lung) wash through all of the body systems. It feels like energy, or qualities. It feels real. Thank you for your stimulating thoughts! Shakti Hi Dunya,
