The View Dance

Usually I share these dances on the 20 tier but I wanted to gift all that are hear to thank you for breathing, learning and growing with me.  It is an honour to walk side by side you all as we dance to the beat of our own drums. 

The way one moves is the way one feels.
Those days when you struggle usually the movement feels disconnected or robotic.  Those days when you feel free or lost within usually those movements move fluidity into sensual moments of all those feels and emotions.

One of the things about dance is it is healing and a unique experience of you and all that you feel from within to out.

Our inner child shows us how it’s okay to be silly, to dance like no one’s watching, to question and adventure.

When we free our inner child, we also have a chance to parent those wounded parts of ourselves and heal our buried pain. And, even if we are not parents ourselves, we have an opportunity to think about what it is that we wish for our children’s generation and their children to come. By parenting ourselves, we help heal the world.

Playing for real

When I hit my lowest point, I reconnected with my inner child by finding something to work on that would make me excited. Who knew that learning handstands could change lives? I guess because I was upside down a lot of the time, my frown turned into a natural smile.  As well as practising handstands and yoga, I read books that touched my heart, soul and mind.  I gave myself permission to dress up nice and take myself out somewhere special – just because.  I danced and let my inner child shine.

Some days I still get lonely, sad and filled with regrets, but I now know that connecting with my breath, looking for positives and goofy dancing help a lot. I am learning to do things for me and have rebuilt my home with the things I like but which might not be to everybody else’s taste.  Colours that calm me down, a plan to follow when things turn dark. A few people I try to treat right, even though I don’t always succeed despite my best intentions.

I’m learning. I’m learning to make things awesome for myself. I’m learning every day that I save myself. And most importantly, that this is a life-long work in progress.

What do I want?” is a question you need to ask yourself every day.
