If you have a body you are a dancer.
We’re constantly changing and any practice meant to serve our authenticity should reflect our fluid nature.
Your voice takes you to your heart.
After you leap, before you land, is God.
We all share the wound of fragmentation. And we can all share in the cure of unification. Healing is the unification of all our forces – the powers of being, feeling, knowing and seeing.
Dance is movement, is action, and like all action, it reveals us to ourselves in the doing.
My work is giving space – learning of its way and being in its service at the same time. We each have responsibility to express ourselves. And in this expression is the key to our healing.
Shamanic healing is a journey. It involves stepping out of our habitual roles, our conventional scripts, and improvising a dancing path.
Movement is my medium and my metaphor. I know that if a wave of energy is allowed to complete itself, it yields a whole new wave, and in fact that is all I really know. Riding these waves means joining the cosmic dance that, as Dante says, ‘moves the sun and the other stars.’
Dance has been my medium, my metaphor, my message and my meditation.
Life is sacred. Life is art. Life is sacred art.
We have lost awe and wonder. In reference to the mystery of life itself, we’ve lost respect for movement in our planet.
Movement practice gets all your creative juices flowing. It doesn’t just release your body, but it opens up your heart and empties out your mind, as well.
Where we stopped dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories, or finding comfort in silence is where we have experienced the loss of soul. Dancing, singing, storytelling, and silence are the four universal healing salves.
Attachment guarantees that you will wake up every morning with a mission: to prove you are who you think you are – today. But it’s a total energy drain. you’re so busy performing a role that you miss out on the freedom to improvise, to be real rather than rehearsed.
Rumi: “Dancing is not rising to your feet painlessly like a whirl of dust blown about by the wind. Dancing is when you rise above both worlds, tearing your heart to pieces and giving up your soul.
To become a great teacher, one must become a teaching.
Maybe our fear of intimacy is rooted in our fear of the dark, especially the deep dark within, the great unknown. We perceive our inner darkness as a void, an emptiness that fills us with anxiety. We try to stuff this black hole instead of realizing that we are the black hole and that its emptiness is actually a fathomless freedom.
Life is a mysterious game: the only way to win is to surrender.
All healing journeys begin and end in the body.
We are actors on life’s stage. Our challenge is to find the real play, and our true roles.
