"Trust what is being revealed. Let whatever is present be your practice.
The dance is the gateway. Your Body, the greatest Oracle you'll ever know!"
Whether you're seeking greater clarity regarding life purpose and meaning, and/or undergoing the transformative cycle of a major life transition, the call for a Vision is often the same.
It is akin to the Hero and Heroine's Journey, a passage or initiation of sorts that asks us to RE-MEMBER and return in a new way. As in the dance, there are multiple doorways and thresholds, points of challenge and reward. PAUSE. Fully arrive. Take your time and open your attention to each encounter. What do you sense and feel? What do think or see within your imagination? Trust what is being revealed. Let whatever is present be your practice. The dance is the gateway. Your Body, the greatest Oracle you'll ever know!
If you've been around me for a while, you know that I don't just talk about dance, but experience it as a means of transforming my relationship to Life. As a means of encountering my Soul. It is a visionary practice, a waking dream, one in which a single profoundly clear moment can remind me to re.member. Dance isn't the only resource or gateway. Weaving ritual, listening to dreams, activating your imagination through movement, writing or art...all of these practices support an encounter with Vision. With Soul.
There is no right or wrong way. But I DO believe in the power of movement to carry us through this journey in a good way. In an integrated way. In a way that aligns with our deepest soul's vision. The dance is a resource that supports every aspect of creation - the destruction, the gestation, the vision and the manifestation. It includes the fullness of Who We Are - body, mind, emotion, soul - anchoring and stirring up ALL levels of our Being. Because of this, it is likely you will be tested along the way, on the dance floor or in the dance of life. You may meet fear and limitation, and refuse or choose to cross the threshold. Remember: There is no right or wrong way to dance. It is the journey not the destination. The questions rather than the answers. The wonder rather than the claim to know that will bring you closer to an encounter. Stay close in. Keep arriving at the door. Keep showing up and the dance will show you the way toward greater authenticity and inspiration, freedom and response, and the ability to learn and listen.
THIS is the dance I am called to follow. And why I don't offer a rigid set of structures and forms to follow. I want to see you dance from YOUR truth, from YOUR story, from YOUR vision, and if you don't know what it is yet, to create spaces where you can discover or create it. Where you can fully embody it!
Whether you're seeking greater clarity regarding life purpose and meaning, undergoing the transformative cycle of a major life transition, or feel the call for a Vision this Winter Solstice, I invite you to dance to reexamine your truth, clarify your vision, recommit to your most vibrant life, and believe in yourself enough to go after what you LOVE.
Join me in this dance of life - on the dance floor or in a private Soul Coaching session.
Abundant blessings this Winter Solstice,
Teresa
