“We can’t always choose the music life plays for us, but we can choose how we dance to it.”- Unkown

The great mystery of life is perhaps best accompanied by dancing. Dancing is indeed soul food and allows for life’s challenges to simply roll off when we remember to move our bodies. It is in movement that we remember our innate joy that is always there waiting for us. This freedom of expression and flow helps keep us grounded and moving energy in a healthy way. If you can take off your shoes and move in connection with the earth, an even deeper connection and release may be felt.

Dancing does not only have physical benefits, but spiritual benefits as well. Expanded consciousness and a greater openness and release of stored emotions might be experienced. The more you let go and free your mind and physical body, the greater the reward of engaging with dance. The next time life seems to be building up or even when things are moving along beautifully, pause, turn on you favorite music and move your body in the way only you know how. You might just be pleasantly surprised! Enjoy the freedom of expression. Dance to ignite joy. Let go.
