“Even if you are not that good, dancing frees the body to
float along with the music, and to cast off stress.”
_Byron Pulsifer
It seems totally counterintuitive to get up and dance when feeling drained and in dire need of some energy! But as we all know, dance is a movement of life, an action of vitality, a process of renewal. Unlike going to the gym or other forms of exerting activities, dance is effortless on the body and mind.
In the dance we release, let go and glide into action. The body instinctively knows what is best. When we let go of any mental expectation or attempts at physical prowess, the body naturally flows with creative zest. At some level we are ‘resting’ when we dance. We are giving the mind and our ever-active control centres a break just to be in the flow and experience of life. To be in the being, not in the doing….
This state of being gives us the opportunity to replenish. We reconnect with our vitality. We re-connect with our creative force, and we re-connect with a seamless connection to self, the other and everything around us. It is as if our spirit is at peace when we dance letting us replenish and reactivate an easy flow to life.
