Feel the Flow

Everything flows. Even the ancient Greeks were aware of the ever-changing nature of all existence. Nothing is static, even if it sometimes appears that way—and even if we perceive certain moments of our lives as immobile or feel stuck in particular emotions or situations.

Holding on and rigidity are natural reactions of our nervous system to stressful experiences. Stress causes our muscles to tense and our digestion to stall. It often takes time for these states of tension to release; sometimes they even form a kind of "armoring" that we carry through life permanently, frequently without even realizing it. Often, it is only a lack of vitality, a diminished depth of feeling, or fragile health that hints that something within us isn't quite in flow.

Perhaps it is time to change that. And what could be more effective than mindful movement and dance? Let’s bring more release and lightness back into our lives. Let’s dance our way back into the flow!
