Soul Motion: Unity Inquiry
What happens in the dance room is a microcosm of what happens in the everyday dance. Soul Motion dancers practice seeing themselves and others as one essence knowing that all people desire happiness; all people wish to alleviate suffering. With consciousness of our unity as a strategy for more purposeful living, we look for those excluded from the dance and weave them in through landscapes of creative expression, relationship, and dialogue with divine nature.

Just returning from a week of Soul Motion™ practice with these insights in tow.

This practice of dance continues to revive my spirits just when I think there is approaching a period of languid hanging about. The dance room continues to house the bodies of the people in various shapes, internal and outer. Each of us bringing a dance that is grounded in the experiences of loss and laughter. I remain in a position of deepening gratitude for the way in which the people dance.

We are the descendants of the first dancers who used their bodies to implore the One Presence for rain with which to nourish the crops of sustenance. They lifted their gaze and lowered their weight as they spoke of birth and death while their bodies swayed, gyrated, quivered, and leapt among the fires of community. They knew in order to accomplish the things of living in the world they needed to speak to the outer world of sky, earth, sun, and water through gesture and communion.

There was no need to worry in the dance. There was only the rightness of alignment and allowing the world to shower the people with natural events in the way the rains showered the fields. The dance held for the people a direct link to the animating force of creativity and destruction and held proof of the ways to summon the warrior and the visionary for purposes of furthering the welfare of the people.

We are the grandchildren of these early ecstatic and conscious dancers and we share in our cells and DNA the same power and presence to conjure the forces of nature and align ourselves directly with them. Our interior world is watered in the dance and gives sustenance to the growth of crops of consciousness. As our bodies move in totality as soul motion™ we too, give birth to renewal of possibilities and accompany the death of that which is no longer in the service of opening hearts. When our souls are in motion through the dance we call for the warrior within to stand guard for all the ways that we may place blocks to the awareness of love’s presence.

Let us continue to recognize where we come from as conscious dancers, the rich heritage of alignment of the many with the one, and the miracle mindedness that is in duet with all souls in conscious movement.
