10 days of Deeply Dancing with Life Training - Step by Step - the Art of Dancing with Life Training - Love is the Dance of Life |
Its the spirit or life force in you that dances.Your body is the beloved instrument... An embodied mystery. Life dances through you and we begin with welcoming the instrument or temple that is available or receptive to the dance of life. To dance is to celebrate this gift called life.
The group is focused on remembering your gift called "body" and connecting with its inner resources, qualities and strenghths. To begin with acknowledging your gifts in life..... the creative and joyful-source will totally unfold through this movement experience created by Navanita. Healing through the natural dance is about focusing and remembering the state of peace, silence, being, home on the inside and practicing returning to it. Taking care of it and shifting the focus from the outside to the inside. To dance from the inner and into the inner. To dance your innocence.
Your body is always here and now, that's its gift. In todays fast paced world many have forgotten how to stay connected with the body having lived in life relating from the head. We will discover what a joy it is to live in and love the body. Connecting with its kinesthetic sense and trusting its natural movements, dance and impulses guiding us with its innate wisdom to a place called home on the inside. Our true healing guidance and power is a natural gift of life source. Remembering the forgotten language of the body. It was the last meditation OSHO left us with. An ancient meditation. Through Navanitas personal healing journey after her accident where the body was broken she experimented with listening and trusting the bodies wise and innocent language She is now dancing and celebrating life in a new way. The journey was a gift. Many friends supported her with their love and presence She learnt to receive and focus on living love in life as the dance. After many years of experimenting she has created and shares her trust in the Natural dance and movemnet combined with Talking and listening to the body as a door Encouraging people to recognize their true nature as simple and creative. Innocent as a child and wise as the ancient mystics Every cell is dancing new, vibrating and celebrating with original beauty.
Navanita has created a unique combination of natural dance movement. Remebering the Forgotten Language of the Body, Healing through movement Body awareness, WuWei, sacred Stretching, Conscious touch playfulness innocence and connecting with the silent space on the inside. Simply available for existence to dance through.
Within the group room the "tribe of truth seekers" create a dance gathering where love and safety support each individual on their unique journey. Dancing, resting inside, connecting with the inner strengths where healing, restoration and love are just natural.
Navanita has created a Step by Step experiential approach with natural dance and movement, meditation and body love. She supports us with her own trust in the body, dance and the healing power of love and laughter.
The body is our teacher- within it are many mysteries that we explore through the dance. It has a wisdom and guidance in every part and in every cell, which we can access when we learn to listen and to respect its language.
Moving from the head (where most people normally live) into the body, we find a friend with many parts that are all one b& parts that create a wholeness.
Awareness and watching the body and recognizing your own kinesthetic sense (awareness through movement) builds a trust in yourself. We all have a natural instinct which is taking care of us in every moment and in every life situation. To discover this, is to resource in being fully alive and in the safety of being taken care by the body which is always here in this moment. We learn the art of responding to life in the moment, to live with life and dance with life.
This restores the sense of wonder and gratitude of being alive. So mysterious yet often taken for granted. To thank existence is to remember the gift that has been given to us without doing anything for it. To love, to dance and to celebrate being alive is to connect us with a natural healing power of love.
Through the body we connect with our many inner qualities including freedom, peace, silence, giggles,b&b&. We begin to feel comfortable and acquainted with a perhaps previously unfamiliar inner world.
The body is the teachebrwithin the body there are many resources that support us being natural, at ease and authentic.
Within the body is the home. Call it love or being or space. To rest in it is to be connected with existence or to be whole. The space on the inside and the outside is the same. Through kinesthetically dancing with space on the outside and becoming comfortable with it, we can experiment the space on the inside.
This is to dance from the source of life.
This training is focused on supporting the participant to remember and trust the wisdom and the Gui-Dance of their own body. Allowing the innocent and natural dance and movement to connect and focus on the space of“being“, being just narural...being „Home on the Inside“.
Navanita`s sensitivity and intuition gently guides the group and the individual to reconnect with nourishing their body and being in an innocent and playful way. Simple and powerful. Refocusing on this moment as the only moment. This is the gift that the body supports us with, as it is always here in this moment-present.
The life force inside the body is the healing source. A vast space- having a magical way of healing what is needed, when it is recognized as your source. Healing being to become whole again-body, mind and spirit- all one.
By relaxing into yourself you regain the connection with the mystery and the dance of life. Magical ingredients for the training include:
Lots of playfulness, that transforming energy which is your nature..., Love, Dancing, Moving, Touching, Being silent, Resting Inside, Yumyums, Space to trust yourself...to come "Home".
