"When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen:
Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly!"
~~Edward Teller

EMPOWERMENT OF DANCE

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!
