Dancemeditation - the weekly class - Tuesday, August 26, 2008
Last night the space opened so easily -almost without effort and I fell into the most beautiful dream. At one point I looked up during the opening sequence and realized there were four women, totally into the work, but the thing that really struck me was that there were another three individuals who weren’t there, but whose energy was. Last year at this time, I joke that we were lucky if more than Rapunsel and myself showed up for session! Now we have seven people who attend regularly, perhaps not every week, but regularly.
My body came from an almost unknown place last night, there was something dark, elusive, almost primal that wanted to release. I felt it nudging, attempting to come to the surface, but I didn’t feel that I could still make myself ‘follow-able’ if I indulged the nudging. Movement felt easy, except for this ‘nudging’…it definitely wanted out and controlling that became prevalent in my body.
After free-movement we worked with moving and receiving. This is a partner exercise where one person moves, micro-movements at the most, while their partner places their hands on the mover wherever the mover wishes. The partner is only there to bring awareness with touch to the mover’s body, witness, and receive. I witnessed some amazing unfolding. The witnesses were attentive and reverent while the movers were deeply sunk into themselves, moving without judgement or fear.
Totally awesome session.
