Your Freedom is Your Dance

Yesterday I went to a 5 rhythm session with Irene Ward. The space was full of beating Hearts in all sorts of different expressions. I often contemplate who are those people who come and choose dance as a spiritual practice. You gotta Love dancing! As simple as that! When I talk to people who have never heard of a Dance practice, I always say to them… if you Love dancing - that might be the space for you. 

And from Here I would love to share a little bit of my story and where I am at this period in time. 

I remember myself as a kid on Friday afternoons - the day when I cleaned our family home. Sometimes, I used to have a competition with my cousin who lived only a few meters away from me (I could see her house windows from mine). We would compete to see who will be the first one in our cleaning duty. I would always lose. I lose because I would always lose myself in the beat where my body can’t help but move in excitement, love, and joy that Dance gave me. That’s where it all began. 

At the age of nineteen, I came to Ireland and I went through a hardship of adjusting to a new culture, to a city (I grew up in a very small village milking cows and working on the farm), to a new language I never spoke before, and to a new environment I had such a difficult time to adjust. 

It never occurred to me to dance to help myself through those rocky times. 

Until I came to David’s Money’s Embodiment in 2015 and I Danced ever since! To this day, I am still discovering what Dance is and I concluded that Dance is a Mystery to be never revealed. Every time I dance there is something new to learn. Yesterday was one of those days. When everyone was so upbeat in their Dance I felt so unbearably heavy, it felt like all my struggles, all my concerns weighing me down… I asked myself: how can I be free? I felt my body like a heavy clay piece that had no particular form and was so dry it was cracking… That’s where the ray beams of hope were entering and I found my strength again. I heard the voice saying: “ Your Freedom is Your Dance”.
