at its full potential a spiritual experience,
nothing to do with the mind, I can happily discard it when music and song start to take over
My eyes close. This is not about anyone and not even about myself anymore
I start to let go of expectations, illusions, desires
they become separate from my being
All there is is the beat and my soul which finds expression through the body in this world
So I express it or rather, it is expressed
This is not about me doing but about it happening
Not thinking about how I want to move my body
But letting my body be moved by the music
Giving it over to feel nothing but presence
Tapping into a world in which only the bliss and tune of the current moment exist
A world which leaves no room for judgement or thought
Flow effortlessly rules
And through the movement my body seems to let go of all that is weighing me down
Forgetting that burden even exists
worries are of no relevance
אין שום יאוש בעולם כלל
Physically releasing tension and the desire to control
Becoming one with the music
Nullifying the need to be in ways dictated by the clogged mind
Revealing some latent part of my inner world
Leaving space only for what matters: joy and authenticity
And so hours go by on the dance floor, lost in a trance
No drugs only music and the desire for connection, reality enhanced
Directing my ecstasy upward and coming closer to the feeling of the essence of life
Walking out feeling like one does after waking up from a deep sleep
Renewed, with a clean internal surface
I don’t dance to the music – the music is dancing me
It is the month of adar so we must all think about how we can increase our joy. Recently, I learned that G-d can only dwell in places where there is joy – when we feel depression and a lack of trust, there is no room for G-d. How can we clean up inside to make room for G-d? Dance is obviously a strong connector to and catalyst for happiness. It is always available, just sing or turn on a good song on your speaker. Dance doesn’t have to be an experience that comes only at the cost of ego, a hangover or unwanted men touching you (as a girl). It has the potential to be so holy if we only put intention into where to direct this energy to. Joy breaks all boundaries and I am sharing this because last weekend, I had a great time dancing at a festival, filling my being with so much joy and sensation. This was a try to express my experience dancing to the DJ’s sets, to show that dance can be very profound and has high potential for internal experiences but also what an amazing tool it is to reach pure joy in this month of adar. It is crucial to fully give your being over to your body’s intuition, not thinking of one’s outer appearance during dance but just following what feels right, experiencing what the music does to one’s body with curiosity, it almost feels like getting to know your inner self self more deeply.. G-d chose the body to be the carrier of the soul, making it holy! So treat this holy body of yours right and learn more about it, this for me is 100% a means for spiritual connection and revelation.
HAPPY ADAR!!!!!
