Chaos

Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms have been calling to me since I first danced them. Chaos may be the one that I struggle with the most in my life, and perhaps that is because our society thrives on chaos. We are continuously bomabarded with chaos.It seems that our minds are always buzzing around, overloaded with stimuli and information. I love how she says that we need our feet to ground us, otherwise we get too carried away in our heads and the chaos. Our feet will ground us and return us to our roots. And so we dance. I came across a wonderful quote from George Bernard Shaw. The same guy he is accreddited with "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself. His other quote that I love is "If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance." Healing and reconnecting through movement. What a concept. Rather than sitting and dwelling on our problems, issues, frustrations, anger, grief, sadness, why not get those bad boys on the dance floor and shake things up? Another quote from Einstein "A problem cannot be solved in the same state of consciousness in which it was created." So how much sense does it make to sit in our same frame of mind and try to solve problems. Maybe sometimes we need to get out on the dance floor, or our living room floor, and dance and sweat and allow ourselves to enter a different state of awareness. In letting our mind be still, and by allowing our bodies to do the movement, we can enter another awareness, and free ourselves. I am dedicated many of my 30 minutes a day to dancing, because it is so enjoyable, and freeing and powerful and healing.
