I have trained my mind to get out of the way when I dance. Once my ego is released, my dance becomes a prayer. The chatter stops and I connect with my inner self.
In this state, I dance the divinity of being. I pull patterns and images through my mind’s eye. It is as if I am translating my spirit’s mandalas into movement.
Here are a few exercises that I use to reach this Flow State:
- Imagine that the music is flowing into and through you. Rather than thinking about how you want your body to respond, simply allow the music to move you. Essentially, you are releasing control by giving it to the music.
- As the music moves through you, imagine you can transform the sound vibrations into light and / or color. Shine it from your fingertips, your hips, your eyes, and your smile. Let the light shimmer from your shoulders, radiate from your heart and sparkle through your eyes.
- Saturate your movements with whatever emotion you would like to express. “Bliss” is always a fun one. Remember that you are a powerful creator, able to give wings to your intention by riding the energy of the music.
- When we are truly in flow, what we put out comes back to us. Fill your movements with love and light. Imagine that you are pushing it out and pulling it in through your hands and your hips and your heart and your mind. Bathe and luxuriate in the feel of the sacred flow of infinity.
- Play with the idea that you can raise the energy of a room or entire crowd through your movement, your being, your intention and your vibration.
When I access the Flow State, my ego becomes translucent, and my inner being is set free. Bliss flows through me like an unstoppable river. When I am in this zone, the amount of energy I am able to channel is absolutely wild. I find it difficult to tire, as I am able to draw from the source of light that comes from the center of all that I am.
Sometimes I like to imagine that I am Rainbow Vibrations. And then… I just be….and it all comes out exactly as it should.
