movement
There is something truly transporting about giving myself over to the rhythm of some favored musical pulse. It seems to be even better when the sound is loud enough to fill the room, for then, the music possesses The Power. An enveloping sound scape can crowd out the worries that threaten to claim my tender thoughts. (This is why I recommend headphones for 20/20, so the students can connect to the interior of the shared experience). Breath connects to movement, music fuels the practice and can incite its grand crescendo.
Move! Groove! Dance to protect your thoughts! For as they say, “thoughts become things”, and we are certainly inviting and co-creating our own experiences to a large degree, aren’t we? Gabrielle Roth, with her 5 Rhythms, tells us we can sweat our prayers, and I believe her! Rolando Toro, with his Biodanza, taught us the poetry of human encounter through healing movement.
