TRINITY DANCE

“Dance is fun! It lifts the spirit, strengthens the body, and stimulates the mind.”

_Wayne Sleep

Three separate words, BODY, HEART, and SOUL. Which often leads us to conceptualise them as separate. The soul “resides” in the body. We “connect” with the heart. My body “feels” pain/pleasure. Yet we are ONE, simply, “I am”. In scientific language, we could turn to cybernetics and speak of a system. Our existence is a system that incorporates many facets. When we move into this conceptualisation, then what we do as conscious dancers makes more sense. When one part of the “system” is changed, then there is a ripple effect throughout our being.

And so, we dance! We enter the system through an easy doorway that is immediately accessible, our physical body. Through the dance we access our heart and feelings, we let our soul sore into the great expansion. This process is symmetrical. On the one hand, we use the dance to express and give a face to our feelings, our thoughts, and generally our state of being. However, sometimes these are stuck in emotional blockages or repetitive stories that keep us prisoners to a state of being that is less than desirable. However, we can change these, not by tackling the emotions and stories directly, but by dancing into existence new ones. When we engage in CONSCIOUS dance, we become agents of our lives. We give form to that which we desire. We create beauty and joy that makes life a pleasure, not a pain.

_Christos Daskalakos
