Dancing Through Life X-Raying and Sensing Our Alignment!!


Hello My Dancing Friends!

Today Adelle and I had the honor of graduating 4 new Nia White Belts, Cassendra Keys and Maria Palma from San Antonio, Bianca Rodriguez from Laredo, and Ronda Bartley from Oklahoma.  YEAH!!!  They are now starting their Nia journey and stepping into this world to share their gifts.  I love the work of Nia, and each Nia White Belt intensive is a amazing learning and growing experience for me.  I have so much to be grateful for, including the wonderful community of dancers and healers we have here in San Antonio.  Thank you for your dance, for your smile, for your light.  

2012 has been the Year of Becoming a Sacred Athlete...a year of Purpose, Potential and Possibility.  A Sacred Athlete is a teacher and healer to all people.  Becoming a Sacred Athlete is a choice and is a journey of discovering your purpose, exploring your limitless potential and opening up to the endless possibilities available to you when you choose pleasure and love as your path for transformation and to self mastery.  We are all teachers.  We teach others with our actions, our thoughts and words.  We teach others through our choices.  Choosing to keep your body healthy through movement and dance shows others how you have chosen to love your body.  As we prepare to close 2012 and open up to the unlimited possibilities of 2013, I invite you to say with me "I am a Sacred Athlete!".  

Our Nia focus this week is Principle #10 of the White Belt, X-Ray Anatomy - Dynamic Postural Alignment.  X-Ray Anatomy is a practice of observing and sensing our alignment via our bones, ligaments and muscles.  It is a wonderful way for you to create a relationship with your body, and through sensation, imagination, intuition and your internal eyes, "seeing inside" and lovingly making changes to bring your body into hemostasis.  In X-Ray Anatomy we also play with the concept of 200/700, which refers to the 200+ bones and 700+ muscles in your body. Exploring your body with the awareness of 200/700 reveals an endless world of movement possibilities!!!

So let's open up to all possibilities our body and our life has for us as we dance this week...it is ENDLESS; open to our potential...it is LIMITLESS!!!  See you on the dance floor.

Join me for JourneyDance™on December 21, 2012 at 6:45 pm at The Synergy Studio.   This a special day in many ways.  It is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, and marks the beginning of the Sun's accent into the sky.  In Latin, solstice means "sun set still", and Winter Solstice is the great stillness.   December 21, 2012 is also the date recorded in stone by the Ancient Maya over 1300 years ago indicating the completion of a World Age Cycle.  It is a day we are invited to synchronize with all life in the Universe to begin a new World consciousness fired by love, compassion, gratitude and peace.  Awakening to our Self-Generation, we are called to unify with all hearts and minds for Universal healing.   Join me on this day in harmony with others across the planet, as we JourneyDance™ and open to new possibilities beyond all past precedents! What are you creating, what do you want to create, what needs healing or forgiveness?  What can you let go of now (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually) to fulfill your desires, hopes and dreams?  It is time to embrace who YOU are, to celebrate where YOU have been and where we are going, and to shine Your light.
