The purpose of meditative dance is to enjoy moment by moment.
Normally we direct our muscles to act; we direct our feelings to feel; and we even tell ourselves what to think.
But in meditative dance we slowly and gently learn to stop directing ourselves and we learn to follow ourselves.
We gently learn to stop telling ourselves and we start listening to ourselves.
We start by first listening to the music, and then the silence.
And so we create a gentle wave within ourselves of the music and silence.
And then we dance right off the top of the wave and simply follow ourselves.
A purpose of meditation is to still our minds.
And a good way to still our minds is to move our bodies.
Would you care to dance?
