At the end of this year, I am reflecting life, just as you do. How I have been as a human being, each single moment? And how deeper have I embraced myself being in this body as a woman?
I feel fortunate being born in a woman, which contains amazing facets, capabilities and talents. Without being rigidly identified as a woman, it is good to be aware of and exercise potentials and power which we women possess.
Feminine energy is powerful for the healing of the world and creating necessary changes in the planet. …And I forget this conscious exercising of feminine power, every so often… by growing up being very gender neutral. It’s important to fully embrace what has been bestowed to us as a gift !!
I want to address what have been suppressed in women’s psyche through embodiment / dance. Body carries social norms and collective pains, as much as it does individual memory and emotions. Through body, lots of conditioning, stories, and suppression can be released, about being a woman and embracing feminine essence.
One body at a time, when we open up to make a shift within us through body, the world would also start changing. A revolution happens one body at a time…
I feel populations of dancers (those who learn dance are dancers) are growing quite fast, nowadays.
Dancing meditation is also rapidly growing, in parallel with the growth of sedentary/stillness meditation.
It is an awesome phenomena !
In our high-tech sedentary life, and with the individualistic culture, many of us are hungry for dance – that expression of passions, that aliveness of moving of body.
However, isn’t your dance happening only on a dance floor?
Aren’t you keeping your dance as “my (secret) hobby”? Yes, often time, dance has a taste of “secrecy”…
Once you step out of the dance floor, are you not shying away and returning to your “regular self” which does not easily show your dancer’s side to others?
Are you dancing your daily life?
Dancing daily life doesn’t necessarily mean that you suddenly start dancing on a metro platform, or kitchen of your house while cooking – it’ll be awesome, though.
That Passion.
That aliveness, fluidity, energy, joy, spontaneity, authenticity, and creativity, which you express through dance….
Those, we can bring into our daily life.
How we see and experience dance itself, would make this shift.
Since a year ago, I started to bring my “high time” – moon time day 1 – into nature/wilderness. Sitting directly on earth, connecting my yoni to Mama earth, breeding into soft moss, to soil, to ocean, in sun and in rain,,, Feeling where my blood originally belonged to, the eternal ring it returns to, and the primal connection between Us Women – me and Mama. And I go “home” and dream deep. Day 1 is lighter when I sit in nature.
Obviously my day 1 has no work. A special womb day.
Wild bleeding is an entirely different experience than ones I had in busy and unsensitized city life where a period were seen an obstacle. Plastic gears surrounding menstrual bloods are even unthinkable..
