DANCE: Acnhored in the present

“Life is a Dance. Mindfulness is witnessing that dance.”

_Amit Ray

Dance is a profound practice that helps to keep us anchored in the present moment, fully immersed in the sensation and movement of our bodies. In the moment that the dance emerges, we become acutely aware of every muscle, every breath, and every beat of our hearts. As we synchronise our movements to music we create a harmonious union of body, heart, and soul.

Emotions find expression through our dance movements and connect us to our inner selves. Each step becomes a language through which we communicate our feelings. By connecting with our bodies we cultivate a profound mindfulness, not only to our physical sensations but to our inner feelings. This magical inner world unfolds into consciousness anchoring us to the present.

Through a strong mind-heart-body connection the intersection of music and dance brings us in alignment with our true essence. Being present in the flow of the dance, we can relinquish intoxicating memories that hold us hostage to our past and embracing the beauty of the present moment we experience life through a soul liberated and free living in the now – here present and fully alive. The ecstasy of living is in the here-now, anchored firmly and directly plugged into the electrifying intensity of life.
