From my Drunken Universe
From my Drunken Universe
Walk on that rope,
The one thin as a new born baby’s hair.
Don’t look up
Don’t look down
The door is always open
But only if you knock you shall enter
Give away the most precious rubin red of wines
Dynamic infused with the sweat of humanity
Pull that rope
Break that line
Between Earth and Sky
Breath
There you are
Sitting on the goldmine
FREE YOUR BODY SILENCE YOUR MIND
Anything you are not you can find out through the Dance.
Put your body in motion for an extended period of time and you'll find out what Gabrielle Roth, creator of the 5Rhythms practice meant.
To be lived, experienced not talked about.
The 5Rhythms is a dance ritual.
Yours.
Taking inspiration from the late 60's bubbling movements of energy next door at the Esalen Lab (aka Fritz Pearl and Anna Halprin) and weaving ancient indigenous traditions she gave birth to a simple yet potent Map.
That's where JRR Tolkien started when writing the Lord of the Rings.
Navigation basics 🧭
Only then we are ready to ride the tempest.
She called this Map the Mirror, a doorway that can lead to the overwhelming presence of Yourself.
In my dancefloor experience moving to the rhythms since 2014 I found this approach the most liberating and direct one I was able to. encounter to free the body and silence the Mind.
FREE the body.
SILENCE the mind.
Powerful stuff in the time we live in right?
The only thing that makes the difference, like in any other practice is your genuine commitment (the spark 🔥) to set the wheel in motion.
Intensity (not tension) is key to any process of Life.
Is the fire that does the cooking.
So dance dance dance beloved one.
You are one breath closer and a drop of sweat lighter to rise above the nonsense.
So dance dance beloved one.
Polish the mirror of your heart chambers and see what happens.
Move quicker than your thoughts and you may be able to gather relevant informations otherwise not accessible.
5rhytms is our practice and our ritual.
Even just being in the dance field can shift your brain to leave the linear for a moment.
So leave it and swim in the waters of the right hemisphere and let your Spirit roar from the soles of your feet anchored in the beat.
Bonus / Disclaimer: you might meet souls that can spin your life upside down for good!! (I am the living example of that...)
Until soon, in motion
