“The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.”
_Blaise Pascal
Love is a universal field beyond time and space, belonging to no one and everyone. We have the capacity to connect into this field when we open our hearts. Love is not an action and we will not find it hiding in a book or under a rock. Love is a state of being and can be experienced through action. Love in action, are the conscious moments when we allow the flow of this energy to pour into and out of our hearts.
Dance is a wonderful opportunity to experience love in action. When I let go and am willing to experience the dance as an expression of me, it provides the space of acknowledgment, acceptance, and self-love. When I am able to access this in myself it is easier to recognise in the other and a natural progression is to find the connection with another in the dance. Romantic love may exist as a focused attachment to someone in particular, however, dance offers us the opportunity to experience undifferentiated love when we are willing to move and engage with every human miracle that presents in front of us. When we do this we experience cosmic love and find it easier to transcend any limitations we may put on ourselves and merge into this field of love beyond time and space.
Connecting to universal love and recognising the other as an expression of this love, is a very subversive act as it takes us beyond the separations, boundaries, and toxic cultures that control by sowing divisions. To invite someone to dance, to receive them in the dance and to dance without judgments or expectations is to recognise the sacred bonds that connect us in our humanity. This is cosmic love, and when it lands, it feels like a LOVE BOMB in your heart.
_Christos Daskalakos
