Keys to Sacred Dance

Keys to the dance ... I have adopted this
list to suit what I feel is important. It is a very condensed and abbreviated
form of ideas adapted by a dancing organization called The Dances of Universal Peace.
They are based out of Toronto, Canada. In a sense it is a philosophy,
and an idea that promotes a way of thinking. These are sacred dances,
but nothing is sacred simply by calling it so. A sense of sacredness comes from
within. It is an attitude with which one approaches. The dances can use the
names of Gods and Goddesses and sacred phrases from various religions of the world.
Enter the circle with an open heart and mind, suspending judgements and prepare yourself for the experience. Try not to just recite
the sacred songs. Listen to the other voices.
Listen to your own voice. Listen to how the dance is danced. When you
listen your voice & steps will harmonize. The dances are designed
to take us more into the universe. Stay in touch with your feelings. If you go off, simply bring your concentration back to feeling. The
heart is a good place to begin with. We will be clearing our negative energy
before we start. Try to restrain from
the impulse to make an individual expression. You will be amazed on how much
higher/deeper the dances are when you use the same energy to harmonize with Others. Feel your body, and then gradually become part of the whole circle. These dances can lead
to states of ecstasy, and are joyously invigoration. You can soar, and enjoy. Taste it and if your feet are grounded on the earth, then you can allow your head
to be in the heavens. At the end of sacred dance the energies created will be
grounded. You can take some for yourself, and send the rest into the earth for
healing. As the sound of the music
of the dance stops, enter the silence. It is your opportunity to hear what has
been created. It is in this silence you can absorb the qualities evoked during
the dance. It is one of the most important parts of the dance. |
