DANCE
The movement of the body
in tune with heart and mind
When you invite your body to a conscious dance, you create an inner well-being.
In the center of me shines the dance of the heart
and the body stretches around it.
My face turns beauty towards the sky,
my feet go deep,
my right arm opens towards home
and the left one towards the shadow of the past.
I stop.
I connect the four points in a single golden circle,
a vortex of love that moves around me
alternating the ways of joy and pain.
My stiff cross arms turn into floating wings.
I am flooded with awareness from root to crown:
here I live.

Dance of women
Since the dawn of time we women
we gather around the sacred fire
of the Divine Feminine.
The pulse of the Earth calls us in a circle
to the rhythm of our hips we generate life
we walk with death we honor the cycles.
Flowing in abundance
we dance our inland waters
dive into the depths of our temples bodies
Purify our memories by transcending.
It is with a naked heart that we spread our wings
Fly in the freedom of being in essence
Rooted in the Earth Connected to the stars.
This dance is a calling
a memory, a prayer
May our infinite potential
be activated through it
May the Gifts that are to manifest be revealed.
Let the dance remind us of the freedom of the soul
May the body show us the way May the Spirit guide us
It's time to remember ...
Lalita Devi
Dance and emotion
Emotions blend and take shape in words.
If words are not enough, we speak with sighs.
If sighs aren't enough, we sing them,
If the songs are not enough, our hands and feet instinctively dance

Dance and Meditation
Every work of art including dance,
which requires the human being in its entirety, comes from meditation.
B. Wosien
Meditation is your birthright. It is there, and it waits for you to relax a little, so it can sing a song, become a dance.
Osho
Dance with the heart
Aware Dance is a path that always brings you back to the center of yourself, since from there you can create new encounters and build new bridges between new hearts. Do not forget the heartbeat: from it begins the dance. When you can, listen to it

The changing dance
Everything gets old,
all beauty fades,
every color cools, every brightness fades,
and all truth becomes stale and banal.
Because all these things have taken a shape,
and all forms wear out with the wear of time; they grow old, get sick, shatter and become dust.
Unless they change.
Carl Gustav Jung
Respond to life
Dancing with all awareness brings us back to a constant and light flow of well-being between music, step, gesture and letting all thoughts flow without stopping on our inner home.
Dance, then, will become a response to life and not a reaction to life.

Create the movement
"We must stretch,
stand up on tiptoe
to be able to watch
from other points of view.
And dance puts you in an intimate relationship with life.
Be aware of the movement
that you create "

Nature in dance
This morning, in front of the glass on the left,
a spider hanging from an invisible thread was doing gymnastics.
Watching that little dark body rise and fall in the clear air,
I thought we had both received the gift of existence.
I was in a bad mood, I woke up bad.
The spider, on the other hand, danced.
Of life, which was given to us in the same way,
at that moment it made better use of mine.
This note is a bit long, I summarize it:
I took dance lessons from a spider this morning
and this afternoon I am much better.
