The self-organizing body : embody your light

Take a moment to check in with your body. Feel the gentle rise and fall of your breath, the subtle pulse of energy that flows through you with each inhale and exhale. Imagine there is an intelligence in your body, a wisdom that knows how to heal, how to micro-adjust, how to organize itself perfectly in alignment with the light you are.

Imagine now, the light within you, radiant and eternally expansive. Imagine this light is the force that brings you to life, flowing through every cell, and out through your entire aura.

Now, relax your mind and relax your focus, and choose to allow your body to self-organize around this light. You don’t need to direct it. Just let your body intuitively adjust, naturally realigning itself with the light that you are. Maybe you feel a shift in your posture, a gentle release of tension, or a soft opening in your chest. Imagine your body responding to the light within, organizing itself to embody more fully the brilliance of your Being.

Notice how your body feels when you give it permission to simply be with the light inside. Trust that every movement, every subtle adjustment, is a move toward alignment. Allow your body to be a vessel for this light, and let it radiate outward from every corner of your being.

As you continue to breathe, feel your body organizing itself with ease. Notice, be aware from a place of gentle curiosity and loving encouragement. Imagine your body knows how to move, shift, and align itself with the light of who you truly are. Just be with it. Let it flow. And as it does, feel your presence expand.

Imagine You are light, and your body, in its infinite wisdom, knows exactly how to embody it.

When your past has power over the present and you can't get away from the past - you are being attacked by your own mind. This is your horror ghost.

i'm interested in learning more about ecstatic dance but i don't think there are any workshops near me, can i get started by myself at home?

Great question anon, thanks for asking! This question is hitting home (literally), since we’ve had to postpone our regular ecstatic dance sessions for the time being due to the pandemic. In the meantime, to answer your question, absolutely you can get started at home!

"Dance" is a beautifully loose term. Dance is simply movement, so if you have a pulse, you're dancing. If you can inhale and exhale, you can dance. At the end of the day, ecstatic dance is about getting in touch with your body. While in a normal session you’re encouraged to not hold back from any movement you feel inspired to make, the final product does not have to be proper dance per se. To quote a Fratres Dei Ecstatic Dance attendee:

"Ecstatic dance does not necessarily require dancing. During my session, I sat, stretched, and took a short nap. Leaving my session, I felt refreshed and that I had reconnected with the divine in a physical way."

That said, in-home dance parties are the actual greatest. (Assuming consent of any downstairs neighbors.) The body is essential to a well-balanced spiritual life. Ecstatic dance is a great way to begin engaging that balance. It’s all about trusting your body to move freely and joyfully (or grievously) so your spirit can do the same. A safe, comfortable space to do that is key, so in times like these, home is a great place to start.

Ecstatic dance is a joy-filled end in itself. Dancing is a receptive, harmonizing, and responsive act. In dance we embrace our bodies, interact with the musical, human, and spatial blessings around us, join these blessings on their own terms, and contribute new creation in return. Some food for thought when starting out:

What would it be like to dance my feelings?

Recite your creed or bring to mind your deepest convictions, and see how your body wants to move as you do so.

Pick out an object in your home and dance to/with/as it.

Dance the color green.

Try to avoid “interpretive dance” or “charades” and just let the body do what it wants. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but you. Let the body speak its own language.

If you have any more questions or want more tips on getting started, I’d love to chat further!

Side note, “Fineshrine” by Purity Ring is my number one ecstatic dance jam. What’s yours? Let me know in the comments!
