Last night we took partners and took it in turn where we witnessed our partners flowing dance. It was scary, I sent love to my partner and I nervously stepped up to flow in my dance. I danced slightly scared to begin with while I kept reassuring my little girl inside me that I was in a very safe and loving space. We then gave one another a sentence or word of how we felt about witnessing their dance. My partners first flowing was sparkly and beautifu.l Her second one was sensual and sexual and equally beautiful. I was told when she thought about my dance she saw green hills and meadows, both times, which was a lovely image for my flow dont you think?
We continued short spurts of partnership work which I liked. The short spurts really engaged me in that partner more. We got into groups, danced repetitive movements, copying other peoples, trying their dances on for size. We enjoyed our own repetitive moves and then we did something which blew me away. We gathered in a large circle as we descended into the chaos rhythm and we were invited when we felt ready to step into the centre in small groups. I stepped in and let go totally while I was surrounded by a community of witnesses to my letting go, a safe place. My arms swung around my head, lost in the rhythm my whole body emersed in this ocean of wave after chaotic wave. My little girl inside me felt safe, she knows its okay now to be seen to perform, to be on stage.
No need to run away any longer, my soul part is now integrating with me since the shamanic healing.I felt truly blessed to be there tonight. Truly blessed to be able to experience and witness such love, such compassion such blessed community and dance dance dance.
- Why I Became A Vegetarian and Why I Quit
Why I Became A Vegetarian In February 2006 I attended a sweat lodge in Gloucestershire in the UK. I had no idea what to expect I just felt it was important to go. After reading online about Native American sweat lodges I wanted to see what it was all about. A sweat lodge involves a ritual depending on the purpose of the lodge. The lodge I attended was based… - Why I Quit Guru Worshipping
People in the metaphysical fields can take this whole spiritual experience so seriously! I know this because I used to be this way too and sometimes I still do. In the past I have met many who love their labels and their titles. Titles like Reiki Master, Past Life Regressor, Angelic Atuner, Cosmic Re-Balancer… the labels go on. And I get this now. When I first wrote this post… - Why I Dated An Older Man
Many moons ago when I first wrote this post I was dating an older man. It was not a long relationship because we realised we were more compatible as friends, but it was a soul relationship and still is. I still live with this older man, he is my best friend, my brother, my father, my teacher, my sister all rolled into one body. He is 81 this year… - Overcoming My Fear Of Public Speaking
Last night I attended a beginners belly dancing class in Cheltenham led by a wonderful teacher called Ann Blagdon. I was a bit nervous as I hadn’t had a great experience with a belly dancing teacher in Gloucester. So I decided to start again as I had enjoyed a taster session with Ann at a natural health show in Cheltenham and I loved her teaching methods, her down to… - DREAM MEANING – KEY
Last night had an interesting dream highlighting some things that I have been finding challenging in my life. I dreamt I was standing at a bank machine talking to someone and instead of putting my card in the machine I put a key in. I panicked a bit thinking I might have messed up the machine the person next to me told me not to worry as the machine…
