Be The Music…

Be The Movement…

Be The Magic…

Move… Move… Move… Dance… Dance… Dance… Sing… Sing… Sing… and make music with your mind… heart… and body… It is almost September… During the month of September my organization, Wisdom In New Dimensions (WIND), hosts the Annual International Celebration of Dance (AICOD), globally, to recognize, honor and celebrate the beauty… benefits… and power… of both music and dance in our lives and in our world… Albeit, the official day of celebration, annually, is September 21st… there’s no way we can properly acknowledge music and dance in only one day… Music and movement (dance) are an intregal and instrumental part of every living being’s life… Without music… without movement… life wouldn’t exist as we presently know it… Consider the beating human heart… its music… It’s because of the motion… the pulsing… the rhythms of our hearts that we are able to breathe and move… and live…

Be The Music… Breathe… Have you ever sat still… silenced your mind… and completely tuned in to your own breath… If so, you’d hear your own breath’s primitive flow… your own breath’s music… music that innately calms and relaxes the mind… the heart… the body… our entire beings… Breath, organically, is subtle sound and movement that softly brings one to a meditative state… wherein we are able to fully align with our very own true selves… our very own true lives… To be in this place… is an incomparable experience… It is as if we are brought back to the womb of our own primal existence…. where it is just me with me… where it is just you with you… within the timeless present… and presence of the Infinite Heart… It is where grace is at full capacity… swaying one to fully release one’s self… fully let go of one’s self… and fully trust one’s self… within the non-material, spiritual embrace of Life… while still entirely supported by the physical realm here on earth… At this time… I know of no greater… grander dance than this one…

Be The Movement… Move… Though I was trained to be a dancer starting at a very early age… and have learned the techniques of various dance forms and styles… I have felt most free in movement… when without choreographic instruction… and while being moved by my own internal rhythmic flow… Spontaneous motion… motivated by only my own inner soulful and symphonic song… has been for me a transcendent experience… fostering in me the confidence and courage to go beyond all thought… to go beyond all emotions and feelings that may have previously limited me… mentally… emotionally… and physically… Perhaps, it can to a degree be likened to the experience a baby bird has when it first learns how to use its wings to fly… For the most part, it is an extemporaneous act for the young bird… who has just learned how to trust its own wings… Once it has become unconsciously conscious about its ability to move through the sky… it simply moves…. freely… This is the way of dance… the way of movement… I am in love with… the way of free-style motion… uplifting me while simultaneously rooting me… deeper within myself… and within the world(s) I have chosen, unintentionlly and intentionally, to be part of… Each world… within and without… fully liberate me…

Be The Magic… Live… I’ve been quite fortunate to see solo and group performances that have caused me to feel within myself… deeply transformative emotions… Performances that have caused me to experience moments of un-utterable thoughts and feelings… Times when it’s only my breath that can define what I am truly feeling… and/or it’s my goose bumps that reveal themselves on the surface of my skin that show and tell… I believe it is the fire… passion… deep love within one’s being… expressed for someone or something… and transmitted outwardly… that elicits such responses from others…  This fire… passion… deep love… is for me… magic… Magic that is a transmuting… metamorphic… and cathartic spark of life… creating further life… Life that becomes even more magical as an adventure… a journey… a dance… between the inner and outer worlds of a human… being… without prejudice… without pre-defined conditions… without the notion of barriers… simply living boundlessly… yet thoughtfully… knowing without consciously knowing that one’s mind… heart… and body… is able to liberate another’s… because one’s entire self is too free… Be The Magic… This Magic… This Music… This Movement… BIG SMILE…
