And am i breathing?

What a good question to keep asking. I have noticed how I stop breathing- just hold my breath, or don’t let it flow fully in or out. If I am concentrating, working at my computer, dancing…anytime! During class I pay more attension to it, and be able to gently notice bring myself back to flowing [...]

A bouncy castle inside every one of us

Just finished ballet class. I’m on the train waiting for it to leave. Did I tell you that I have been dancing with wings!? When I imagine and feel my wings, everyhing is easier and more effortless. Piroettes turn simply and there is far less fear held in them. I recognized again today- more than [...]

A whole lot of stretching it out….

I’ve taken a couple of modern classes in the last few days and it’s been an interesting experience to get back into different movement forms again. My main hesitation with classes in general is that the warm ups usually do not create an embodied ‘ready to dance’ feeling. Instead they can bring you into a [...]

… and on that note

Why do people say ‘that moved me’ about beautiful music? Right? Because it literally does. It makes us vibrate. It creates dance. Movement. Life. Nothing is still. If it’s still, then it must cease to exist cos there’s no more vibration and everything vibrates. And so holding anything still or ridgid creates stagnation and decay- [...]

Everything dances

Everything dances. All cells, molecules, leaves, sounds, moments, ideas, creations. And dancing is a feeling. How else can you describe it? If you had never felt dance, could you understand it? No, because it’s simply an experience. I love that everything is a dance and the more I allow myself to soften and feel it, [...]

End of summer

It’s the end of summer. I can feel it in the air and my resistance to letting it go. Although I know that fall and winter are going to be amazing and full of beauty and adventure. This transition feeling is interesting as it reminds me on a subtle level of past events at this [...]

Just do be do be do it. NOW

That’s it. Always. Now. It’s all in the now. And it’s all about me, cos I am everything and everywhere! And so, it’s coming from me! Everything. If I am the bee, then I can decide to fly away. And so I do :-) How big- or small can you hold that? It’s all in [...]

Some stuff

It’s rainy and cold here. Feels like fall. It’s always a bit sad cos that means winter- dark… there’s something built into me to not like it. My house feels cold and dark and I can feel the worries in the NYC air. But I know I don’t need to go there- and going to [...]

Breathe in New York

Coming home to NYC has felt a little bit of a bumpy landing as I move into a new space as my life transitions yet again. As I have new experiences and move into new aspects of who I am- and letting go of who I am not, it’s incredible to watch how this transforms [...]

Water at night

It’s 3am. My dreams woke me up again. Sometimes they feel so pertanent that I have to write them down- see them- hear them. They’re not so much like dreams, and more like a story I’m reading. I wake up and have to keep a soft focus to read them and with them usually has [...]

Each day

It’s been yet again a long time since I wrote. So much is happening and I have been very slack at putting it on here, and expressing it in words. It now time to get back and share some of the amazing-ness which I am experiencing. Each day has new magic that unfolds and seeing [...]

What a beautiful day

It seems that when I go through changes, I seem to disappear from my world of blogging. It’s been ages- since the BodyTalk conference that I’ve written anything. Since then, I’ve finished my 2nd year of Franklin Method Teacher training, and my life, body and mind are opening to all kinds of new experiences and [...]
