We are born into bodies that are fluid and free.
Yet for most of us, this state of grace is sadly short lived.
Judgement, emotional wounds, fear and loss become
stored deep inside our muscles and bones, leaving us
with shoulders that sag, hips that are locked, arms that
can't reach out, hearts that beat behind a stone wall. When
we move our bodies we shake up firmly rooted systems of
thought, old patterns of behavior and emotional responses
that just don't work anymore. Rhythm, breath, music and
movement become tools for seeing, then freeing, the habits
that hold us back. When we free the body, the heart begins
to open. When the body and the heart taste freedom, the
mind won't be far behind. And when we put the psyche
into motion, it will start to heal itself.
