SACRED BELLYDANCE

Belly dance is a celebration of life. In ancient times when people were awed by the miracle of birth, belly dance was a ritual of love, magic and worship of the divine feminine creator.

As temple priestesses danced, they were the embodiment of the goddess on earth - vessels of spirit, channels of divine wisdom!

Ask yourself, have I changed in any way since I began studying Belly Dancing? On what level: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual? Or...perhaps all of them! If you answered yes, then ask yourself "in what way"?

• Are you stronger?


• Are you more sure of yourself?


• Are you more grounded?


• Are you more animated?


• Do you have more energy to be productive?


• Can you feel spirit within when you just let the music move you?


• Do you appreciate yourself more as a woman?
  
  When you've danced hard and it was one of those magical moments in time when the energy was right and you know you did an outstanding job, do you feel the warm glow of your energy body? If you've never experienced that phenomenon, you will sooner or later if you continue to grow in this art form. It's not an "ego" high I'm talking about, it's about being EMPOWERED ON ALL LEVELS, not just one. That's called being in "harmony" with one's self!

Negative passions may run high, but they do not have to rule.

Your inner peace, and the sanctify of your being, are not worth trashing because of some negative feeling you have about something or someone. Just let it go and return to the knowing and experiencing of who you really are. Your inner self, your true soul, will feel the release and be so grateful. You are worthy and deserve only the best of feelings - this is the Creator's desire for you.

"Thought is a powerful tool
And when any of us focus on positive
Change in our lives and the world,
We can begin to create the type
Of world we have all been waiting for"
...Rev. Jilliana Raymond

"WHEN YOU PERFORM . . . YOU ARE OUT OF YOURSELF--LARGER AND MORE POTENT, MORE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE FOR MINUTES HEROIC. THIS IS POWER. THIS IS GLORY ON EARTH.
----AGNES DE MILLE

WE DANCE AND WE ARE THE DANCE.
DON'T MISS THE WOMAN YOU WERE MEANT TO BE. DON'T MISS YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF. LISTEN TO THE WHISPERS OF YOUR HEART! BEGIN THE JOURNEY INWARD IN ORDER FOR THE REAL YOU TO SPRING FORTH.

The new year rings out the old and rings in the new. And more - much more - can change than simply the dates on the calendar. You can resolve this week to change your entire life ... or any aspect of your self and your experience that you choose.
And should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? No. Keep old friends near, and old loves dear. For they will help you make those changes in your life that will produce miracles, if you let them. Happy, happy New Year!
