Sheila with Shiva Rea during the Trance Dance Teacher Training in Venice, CA, 2010
5 Element Qi Trance Dance
is coming soon!
Keep squeezing drops of the Sun
from your prayers and work,
And music from your companion's beautiful laughter.
You are with the Friend now.
Learn what actions of yours bring freedom
And Love.
Keep squeezing drops of the Sun
from the sacred hands and lance of your Beloved
And, my dear,
from the most insignificant movements
Of you own holy body...
Now, sweet one, be wise.
Cast all you votes for dancing!
~ Hafiz
from "I heart God laughing"
translator Daniel Landinsky
We all know movement is essential,
Breath is movement,
it's the lifeforce connecting us to All,
body, mind and spirit...
Dance is Divine movement,
and with sacred intentional Dance,
the magic really can be felt.
We connect with all the elements...
with air in our breath, a carrier of oxygen,
earth under our feet, dancing in our own beat,
fire in our core energy, fueled by spirit & rhythm,
water pumping in our blood, and pouring out our sweat,
and of course Ether, the emptiness in which all other elements can exist,
the invisible field of the mystical expression of consciousness.
