“Everything you need to know is within you. Listen. Feel.
Trust the body’s wisdom.”
_Dan Millman
Beneath the noise of the mind lies the quiet wisdom of the body. When we slow down and listen we connect with the movements arising out of an inner guidance without seeking approval. Self-trust begins when we dare to move freely beyond the restrictions that arise from seeking validation either internally from our inner critic or externally from the world around us.
In Biodanza we learn to trust our experience in the Vivencia. Our dances invite us to move beyond self-consciousness and to return to the natural intelligence that breathes through our instincts. As we move in response to the natural call of life the thinking mind softens its grip and we rediscover trust. We embody the ease with which we move and make way for this to manifest as a dance of life that acknowledges ourselves as agents of creation and transformation.
To surrender to the dance reflects a confidence that arises from effortless connection to life. The dance becomes a mirror that reflects our innate ability to move with ease, to make choices, and express our uniqueness. To dance self-trust is beyond trying to prove anything to anyone. It is simply a manifestation of the joy of being unapologetically alive in this world.
_Christos Daskalakos
