Month: April 2020

I started learning Modern Dance as a youngster and fell in love with being able to sway or move in connection to music that stirred my Soul.

Living in NYC has the benefit of access to many cultural experiences. The Alvin Ailey Dance College has had for many years a Community Dance Program for kids, which I was so fortunate to experience as a young teen. I believe in the benefits of movement of any type, as most people will certainly agree.

Yoga is also a deeply wonderful addition to any Spiritual Practice and as an Adult I have taken classes in Kundalini Yoga, which I highly recommend!

Many years ago, I was introduced to Ancient Shakti Dance, which actually shares many of the same movements as Kundalini Yoga, except of course, you are moving as a dancer.

Ancient Shakti Dance (in the vernacular, “Belly Dance”….a very Hollywood Americanized term) when approached with a more Spiritual intent, can be similar to the Sufi Spiritual ecstatic trance dance, in that the dancer is seeking communion with the Spiritual Divine Energy of God. This is seen as very Sacred and as a Beautiful way of Honoring and embodying the energy of All of Creation.

“Shakti” or “power” or “empowerment”, the active Creation Force of Shiva, is The Primordial Cosmic Energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire Universe. This power is responsible for Creation. It’s qualities are Change and Liberation.

The dance has its roots in very ancient India, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Turkey, but has of course spread to most cultures, who each have their own Folk versions. There are many ancient depictions on wall art, of female dancers. And by the way, there are many male dances in other cultures who do this form of dance quite well, with of course a more masculine expression of certain movements.

In recent deep mediation, I was transported back to a Lifetime I had in Ancient Lemuria, where I was dancing to Honor Mother Earth. I have also had similar meditations transporting me to Ancient Egypt, where I danced in Honor of the Goddess Hathor. Often, things we are interested in, in this life, are things we have done in past lives.

Shakti Dance utilizes patterns of Sacred Geometry. The Circle, The figure 8, a Wave, A Spiral, and Vibrations.

By moving our bodies in these patterns, we awaken the Divine Feminine Creation Energy within us, on a cellular level.

Our Souls are an Active, Creative Hologram of Divinity.

You do not need any formal training, however, to move your body. Just move intuitively or in response to uplifting instrumental music (no words). All forms of movement when approached with an attitude of playfulness and creative expression, will create a sense of Well Being and Harmony.

No matter how you do it, just move your body and get your “Soul Glow” on!

Sound is the basis for All that is. Whether you look at Science or Native Spiritual Wisdoms or Religions, you will see the story of sound.

Native American Visionary, Joseph Rael, teaches that sound is what created Time. And Time is the power to crystallize Awareness so that manifestation can find placement.

Sound is the first phenomenon. In Tiwa language, “poh” means blowing breath and it also means sound. It is said that sound has a physical character, a mental, emotional and Spiritual character.

Imagery came after Sound, to fill in the first circle of Light. Sound can create Light. “Sonoluminescence” is the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid, when excited by sound. An intense amount of energy is created by this process. Sound Pulses can travel at velocities faster than the speed of Light and are Infinite.

Without imagery, (or dreaming) and sound, matter cannot be created.

Scientifically, Sound is Energy that is Vibrating, pulsing, and making waves, on different levels of density and frequency. Everything that exists, is made up of patterns of frequency.

Our Life Force will react to and adjust to, every stimulus or force that it is being exposed to, within the body, mind, emotions or spirit. We will come into resonance with the Highest Frequencies that are around us.

Science confirms that energy and matter interplay in massive EMF electro-dynamic fields that are measurable in terms of waveforms, frequency, wavelength and amplitude. The same electromagnetic fields and substances that move throughout the cosmos, also move through our own bodies.

Our thoughts, beliefs and emotions are projected frequencies that affect our bodies, our well being and move out into the world to create ripples that can affect other people.

“Sound Waves” are amplifiers of intention. Waves carry our thoughts. What are we thinking?

From many different cultural backgrounds come traditions and wisdom based around the idea of vocalizing, sounding, playing instruments, to raise Personal Vibrations. Energy Healers use both sound and imagery to facilitate bringing the body, mind and spirit back into resonance with health and well being. Some will simply sound the name of the body part while visualizing it as whole and healthy, directing through intention. Energy follows intention.

When we raise our Personal Frequencies, we send those ripples out into the world which will affect the collective and the earth.

Through prayer, chanting, singing, positive affirmations, loving thoughts, non judgmental thoughts, words and expressions, we can and do make a powerful difference in the world!

“A Call to Joy” : (Affirmations)

“ I call to my Blissful Soul, to The Sacred Radiant Heart Inside. I let go of fear and lack. I Embrace EASE and GRACE ! I Rise Up, on Wings of Joy!”

“ I Connect Deeply to my Heart and Soul and Allow my True Nature, as a Being of Light, to Flow Out through me and into The World, bringing Waves of Light, Peace and Joy”

Words have Power. Think about the words you use, before you speak them. Be aware of your thoughts and re-direct them to positivity. Reach for the deeper meaning of each word. Engage with its emotional quality. Be Present with the Power and Energy of each word.
