“Trust me you can dance”
_VODKA
How often do we permit our self to have some FUN?
During difficult and stressful times this may sound a little flippant – someone who is always having fun is maybe not taking life seriously some would say. However FUN holds a very important place as it is the activities that gives a mechanism for people to soothe the stressful situation of everyday life and relax.
The Greek word for fun ‘διασκέδαση’ has an etymology which literally means ‘shred and toss away the accumulation of anxiety, unhappiness, and boredom. And as Zorba the Greek advocates….DANCE!
Dance literally shifts our position – we can dance our way from anxiety to peace, from sadness to joy, from indifference to joy of living. The emotions that are stuck in our body and come to feel like old friends can be shifted so that our inner mood changes. Through the dance we let the feelings flow till we reach a place where we can connect with ecstasy and bliss. That is an incredibly powerful and amazingly special place in our dance – when we surrender to life, and it becomes FUN.
