Dancing with my Self

Let it emerge.

Don't get enamored with yourself or anybody else.

Accept yourself as you are without judgement. see what is. you have no further problem. (Alan Watts)

without judgement

Establishing self connection, you can't rush it. wait for it to arise

re-finding....

prioritizing allowing myself

(In every moment, watch what you are doing, you must be simply, awake and relaxed- A. Watts)

wait for the inspiration

you have to not know

refining

allowing myself

(become yourself)

Discovery

every moment

(you have to let yourself happen)

not knowing

become liberated. Be You, not knowing,

not knowing, not knowing, waiting, ready to hear.

Don't let repetition ever really be repetition

don't go mindless; every repeat is a new movement

Don't try to predict your movements.

Let them come to you as inspirations; authentically arising movement

Catching different parts of the music, whatever part you fancy

whatever feels good, breath as a support

Every movement like it's the first time you've ever done it, but your body already knows how; your energy is filling every fiber of your body

not knowing... Being; responsive, including.

Don't let your thoughts make you do anything. wait for it, no need to push.

No right way or wrong way (what a relief)

Include someone

relating to this person moving; giving my attention to that person (me dancing with me on screen)

Changing it up, that's important, otherwise you fall asleep.

Fascination, self fascination

fascination, fascination with what is happening. I am a happening. Every moment new, every moment interesting. Not mentally interesting, energetically interesting. So much novelty in a container of a known field of movement

relating with self, with other, with the music.

Its a new, unknown song. My body doesn't even know where it's going.

But I'm trusting, fully listening.

and connected to my joy, my aliveness, my pleasure my playfulness.

I live to play

I invite you to play with me.

Okay.

Being Embraced

A Description of Contact Improvisation Dance Practice: Achieving inner stillness through attention to, and acute observation of our impulses; our bodily experience. Meeting at the point of touch and exploring, through mutual responsiveness, what movement wants to unfold from an authentic, neutral space Curiously exploring that meeting, that point, that present moment, while maintaining full, unconditional presence. Saying, “YES!” in response to the other, without diminishing our self; without compromising our own authenticity. Surrendering to process, letting go of judgment, of intention, of willfulness. Experiencing a spaciousness that allows full acceptance self and other. As we are. Mutually supporting what is happening. And when there are ‘disconnects’, stopping and waiting. Waiting for that full presence to come into each of us again; for that felt sense of, “Ah yes, you are here, I am here, we meet here.” And in agreement, continuing. Joined, yet separate and individual. Connecti...

Where is my Support?

When I am connecting to Source Every thing is my support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I think you are being self-centered I have left my center. Nothing can support me when I've left my center. Every thing and everyone is my teacher. Every encounter is perfectly reciprocal. When I lose connection with me I lose connection with you, I feel as if you have left me. But I have left me. When I am Being You are able to meet me I am able to meet you We are One. The ego is terrified of abandonment, of shortage, of our True Nature. It contracts, it runs, it thinks, it calculates, it worries, it accuses, it blames it attacks, it is a black hole that sucks........ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ego thinks, Source Acts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Support is felt when we know ourselves as Source And when we know everyone and everything as Source. There is nothing t...

Are you exhausting yourself by how you relate with others?

Do you identify yourself as someone who acts co-dependently, as a caretaker, or people pleaser? Do you find that you adjust your ideas Your behavior, your feelings, your actions, your thoughts based on how someone else might react? Do you have trouble knowing what you really want? Do you often feel powerless Or oppressed? Do you have trouble standing up for your needs? Is it hard for you to find your own voice especially in interpersonal relationships? As I was holding a quiet state of presence with a client recently while we were silently connecting through eye contact alone, she was able to notice that her mental processes were working overtime. Reflecting what I perceived in her energy I said, "Its exhausting." And she had the insight that, during this intimate moment between us, when she could have been simply and deeply relaxing into receiving herself, and receiving my embracing attention, instead her mind was frantically working,. It was obsessively searching ...
