Meditation in movement

Dancing is a spiritual practise for me, like yoga or meditation.

As I dance, I reconnect with Mother Earth and my inner world of feeling and intuition.

Welcome

Welcome to a blog about meditation in movement.  I practice a very personal approach to ecstatic dance - personal in the sense that I have never "studied" any particular theory or approach to ecstatic dance.  I simply move and see what I learn from my body. I am both teacher and learner, schooling myself in embodied meditation.

A blog is a chance to reflect on what I am learning, and then share those reflections with others who practice or would like to explore ecstatic dance.  You are welcome to comment too if you have other related embodied experiences - some find their spiritual connections while hiking or canoeing.

I become disheartened when people create syndicated bodies of knowledge when our own inner knowing is enough.  Everyone can dance. Dancing is part of being human.  Anyone can teach themselves to listen and to follow their body. In fact they are the only ones who can.

I hope you'll write back about what you're learning too.
