the chakras & dancing them
ok! you asked for it - here it is!
whether or not you believe in chakras - we all have them - the fact they exist has even been accepted by the science world. Ancient cultures have known this forever.
The chakras are simple to understand but way too long winded to go into here - so here is a link if you are interested:
your chakra energy
Chakra dance is a free spirited dance where you dance the chakras to music that has been specifically designed to resonate with each chakra. The base being very earthy & grounded up to the crown which is more hypnotice and angelic. as the music is played you just move your body as you wish or if you feel the need you can just sit. The music works on the chakras anyhow.
My chakra dance class is run by a young girl who is into rituals as well - so I am in my element, of course! each season she does a special seasonal class and the one I went to last week was our winter one
She set the mood by having at least 60 candles all around the room and a circle in the middle with pillows placed around, a scarf for each person incase we got cold. drumming music is played as we walk in and we just sat til the class started. at the beginning she took us through a guided meditation and then we started the dancing, the lights are off and you dance with your eyes gently closed and you just DANCE! no steps, no co-ordination - great for someone like me who left their co-ordination gene with their maker. So you dance for 15 minutes to each chakra - and there are are 7 main chakras, so it is a wonderful workout as well.
then once that is over - you sit and either write or draw a reflection. then a closing meditation is done - this time we were all given a garnet grounding stone and we did a meditation with that & took it home to meditate with whenever we needed grounding - great for me who has been an air head lately.
here is a link to the chakra dance class: chakra dance and a link to the CD that you can buy to play at home - even playing this in the day during my housework, I know I am balancing my chakras : chakra dance CD

That sounds absolutely wonderful, so unstressful, what a lovely evening, I like the idea of just going with it you could just sway gently or whatever you feel. The ambience must have been great with the candles and the cushions and the stone to take home to ground you. Fantastic. Love xx
That sounds so mellow and relaxing. The candles would have really set the mood.

This is something I would like to try this winter when things slow down for me. I sure need to get grounded!
sounds just wonderful and relaxing with not too much structure but just enough to make it a focussed expereince.
Robyn...the freezer paper? is that the stuff that you use to divide stuff up in the freezer or greseproof paper? what brand is it? I dont want to get the wrong thing.
Sounds wonderful Robyn. I'm glad you're doing your thing. Wish we were closer, pout. xoxo
Fascinating!
Wow, thank you so much for explaining this...I had no idea what it was!! It certainly does sound like it would be a great way to release all the tension!
Oh oh Oh....sounds very spiritual.
I going to check on the chakra CD,
because I love free style dance and meditating on charkas.
:-)Thanks *miss R*
Letting energy flow and light heal, the power of love knows no boundaries.
