Dance
Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2016 1:27 pm
Hi Everyone,
I was dancing this morning... and feeling the effect it has on me particularly with regard to emotional processing, feeling and releasing. I find it really helpful and therapeutic.
I don't mean any particular type, formula or routine of dancing...but simply feeling what my body needs and moving to the rhythm of whatever I am feeling on the spectrum of emotions. Music has always helped me feel...sometimes I sound out my pain or grief and that helps me too...sometimes the music is what triggers the emotions/feelings and then dance helps me express what I am feeling and release it.
I remember reading somewhere that memories are stored in our bones and tissue - I am assuming thats why massage is effective? And in line with Jesus' recommendation of massage (which I have also experienced the benefits of). I feel dance has a similar effect on exposing and releasing our feelings/emotions/memories because it makes us move our bones, muscles, tissues - the whole body.
I usually dance in a safe place, on my own. So its very much a healing tool for me.
Its totally up to the individual if they are drawn to dance or what type, where and how...but I just thought I'd put it out there as something that really helps me in my feeling and emotional processing.
warm wishes
