New Beginnings!!!

Hello My Dancing Friends!
 
 
New beginnings...Do you know the average adult when relaxed has about 12- 20 breaths a minute?  12 - 20 new beginnings every minute!  Everytime we breathe, we are bringing in new life force energy into our body and facilitating our body's regenration process...new beginnings.  You can google and find tons of information how our amazing body renews itself:  Our tastebuds renew every 10 days, our skin and hair regenerates every 30 days, our cells every 7 years, our bones 10 years; the list goes on and on.  New beginnings occuring in our body right NOW!

Every Nia class feels like a new beginning to me.  The dance is always new, rich, and deep, and guides me to break away from my habits and venture towards something new.  This dance awakens my mind and just as my body renews, so does my spirit.  My spirit, soaring to a new beginning.  This week is special to me and it calls for new beginnings. It is following me, and I am ready...I hope you are and will join me in dance. 
 

My Nia Classes this week:
Thursday at 5:30 pm, Saturday at 9:30 am and Sunday at 4:00 pm all at The Synergy Studio.

EnJOY this poem from John O'Donohue:

For a New Beginning
In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life's desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
