Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic Dance - Celebrate Your Body and Free Your Soul!

"Everybody's sober????"

Aaahhh.... the remark that started it all. Yes, everybody is. And it's on Sundays. And it's in the morning. Sacred Circle Ecstatic Dance. Tis a splendiferous state of being to find bliss in sobriety. Hold your space and feel your energy before sharing it with others; be in your body and use all of what you've got to move to the groove and become one with the beat. Before you know it, you'll be busting out sweet stuff you didn't even know you had in you.

Don't think this is the same as dancing in a nightclub; this is a different experience. If you make the connection between your heart and mind and body to the rhythm of the music, you might feel the tingle of chi and the growth of your aura. And if you rrreeaallllyyyy get lucky, you might experience the sensation of your soul leaving your body. Or you might simply have a good time dancing in a room full of everybody from little kids to the grandmas and grandpas - all who are living in the yummy, high from nothing but their unique ecstatic dance, the dialogue between their bodies and the music.

And who knows the magic that may ensue, the sex that might get better - hell, the sex that might actually happen and probably often does. Just not on the dance floor. After all, everybody's sober and making mindful choices. So come on out and get in touch with your inner touchy-feely-hippie-dippy-unicorns-and-rainbows self and give it a whirl! If a sweet girl straight out of the Midwest can jump right in, then why can't the rest of you? I dare you to try it.

Taking another break from writing about self-publishing to write about things that inspire me to write. The above was a post I wrote for an event for a social group I belong to on Meetup.com. It was one of those moments when I was stunned with how afraid most people are of something different. That kind of self-conscious fear makes no sense to me, because why wouldn't anybody try something that has the potential to increase their joy? What better way to both end and start off your week by being in your body? What could possibly be a better way to both celebrate and worship the joy of being alive. There were several people who answered, but only a few showed up. We had fun though, and that didn't stop me from posting the following week.

Ecstatic Dance, then Brekkies

"So, how was Erotic Dance?"

"No, not erotic dance. It's Ecstatic Dance." (And oh LAWDY! Where is your mind at?)

Sacred Circle. This ain't no nightclub dance. On Sunday morning, find a blissful way to let go of the tensions and worries of the past week, while embracing the possibilities of the new. Get into your sweet spot and deep into your groove. Unite your body with your heart, marry your mind with your soul, immerse yourself in the Divine before coming back to your body, your breath, having touched the sacred space within you. And afterwards we can go out and have breakfast or brunch.

On that week, only the 3 of us were there that knew we loved it. One of them - who has a very exhibitionistic side to her announced at closing circle that she had her first orgasm without any stimulation of her clit - yes, those were her exact words - and that she had everybody in the room to thank for it. Now, why would anybody want to turn that down?
