Integration Dances

“Mind-body integration is more than a personal health strategy. 
 It is a movement of consciousness that can change the world.”
_Matthew Sanford

  • Feeling scattered?
  • Feeling fragmented?
  • Feeling disconnected?

One of the amazing gifts of dance is that we get to experience the feeling of being integrated. The opposite of scattered, fragmented or disconnected is to feel a sense of wholeness, fullness, and a sense of being fully present. The dance provides a beautiful space for us to feel connected to ourselves in a deeper and more meaningful way.

This is the perfect antidote to the topsy-turvy world we are currently speeding through. Sometimes when we lose our equilibrium in life we find that we act in strange ways that ordinarily our head or our heart would not align with. We feel something and do something contrary to our gut feelings. We think something and do something contrary to our rationality.

In the dance we have access and experience ourselves with a greater sense of awareness so that we feel that we can re-direct life and bring everything back on course. We align our body from head to toe with grace and movement. And in this doing we embody our natural self allowing us to integrate our mind, body and feelings again.

_Christos Daskalakos
