Dance transmutes emotion

There are times in life when we feel all knotted up. This happens when we hold onto emotion, either because it feels overwhelming or because we don’t understand what is happening. Emotions are generated through changes in the body. When we are not able to ‘read’ our body, we sometimes don’t know what we are feeling – or worse, that we are feeling. Being able to check in with the sensations in our body is a good way in checking in how we are doing. At some level we are able to feel into certain situations much easier and even better that rationalising them. This intuitive way of knowing is as valid as the best thought out plans. Always balance!

When we dance we automatically are able to feeling ton what is going on in our body and carefully navigate any emotions. We transmute our emotions through dance by literally moving them. We can change our heart rate, stimulate peace and regulate our breathing through the dance opening up the possibility to shift emotions so that we are better able to address them – not bottle them up till we explode.
