Soul Motion: Movement Meditation
Soul Motion encourages seeing with the mystic's heart and eyes, a way of penetrating to the invisible core to things; stillness in motion, motion in stillness; the silent song. Using embodied presence and breath awareness to focus attention and hone space, students learn to become increasingly conscious of their whole being, whether in motion or stillness.

The shift in time and the shaping of space is good news to this dancing soul.
Returning from what I consider the “the expressive dance capital of the world”, Northern California, I feel blessed having have the opportunity to boogie with the dance creatures of NO CAL. Here is what I remember about my visit.
The experience of being facilitation for other is exactly what I had in heart/mind when I began this journey all those years ago of “teaching dance”.
I knew that there is a way to “teach” without being didactic and understood innately the “drawing out” process of education. It has become crystal clear that my sparkling arrival in Love’s presence is the greatest teaching I can offer participants of SoulMotion.
To set the space of sanctuary and live the movement moment unblemished is the key. Continually giving myself to the next moment; however it shows itself, is the lesson plan for each and every class I teach.
Trust!
Surrender!
Walk away and return!
Begin again!
Those mantras are valuable in the classroom to remind myself “who” is doing the teaching.
Knowing the power of the mystery and living the question provide me with such strength as I fall in love with the Beloved again and again. Increasingly I grow confident as I stand in the center of the hoop, grounded in the surety of the Beloved’s Presence in all that is happening.
Surrender to the magic of this movement moment and become the watcher of the wonder that persistently reveals.
I have grown to embrace turning the page and viewing the blankness before me.
I have become relaxed “not knowing” as the teachings pour forth.

TYG.

Love well,
