Sacred Dance Day Sadhana ( Day 37 )

Let your dance guide you

Warm-Up: by choosing your music and tuning into your breath with breath-work, meditation, and then stretching movements to awaken your body. Pay close attention to the knees, wrists, elbows, and ankles.

Here you want to connect, cleanse, co-create, and celebrate with your body temple.

You can focus on themes or issues, or not. There are lots of types of movements and rhythms you can dance to and with or just use one or a few. You can dance in a structured way or free-from it or both. Think of circles, lines, and angles as you tell your story.

What it really is about is for you to become one with the music, the movement, and your energy being, letting all “trying to do it right” thoughts go so that you can clearly connect with your own Divine Life Force/Source.

Make sure you include a warm-up and a cool-down.

Cool Down: Here you will incorporate music, movement, breath, and words that bring you gradually into stillness. At this point, your creative juices will have been ignited. Allowing yourself to just follow the rhythm and flow your body, mind, and spirit has moved you through into its natural rest period helps you to sustain the energy of oneness and unity.

Sacred Dance as a spiritual practice will lead you on a journey that is impossible to describe or predict ahead of time, just like life itself. It will ebb and flow, cause you to sweat, stumble and soar, dampen and ignite you.
