Joyfully Dance Through Life

I’ve been reflecting lately upon the beautiful dance of life. Life’s dance is an intriguing blending of energies coming together, an ebb and flow, and a balancing act. By surrendering and trusting in the dance, one can live in a more flowing way, which allows an appreciation for the beauty of the moment and the gifts it holds. Here are some ways to let the dance unfold in its greatest majestic beauty.

Trust your partner –Know that the universe is a wonderful loving partner, and trust that you are in good hands. Fears can enter, and you may find yourself questioning, “Excuse me, I believe I was falling?” And, the universe will grin and say, “I thought it’d be fun to dip you, and show you that you will be caught,” reminding you that, “When things feel challenging, it is because you are worthy of it.”

Dance your passion - Life is a precious commodity, and far too short to be dancing another's dream. Choose wisely, for all is energy and too much attention given to a dance you don’t enjoy leaves less time for the one you’re longing for in your heart.

Uniqueness –No two dances are ever alike, as each unique dancer brings his or her own beautiful energy forth. Trust in your inner wisdom. Cherish your original dance contributions.

Know the dance –There is a rhythm to life’s dance. It’s important to know which dance you’ve chosen and why.  Do you know the ideal tempo and pace for yourself? What does it look and feel like? Visualize your ideal dance, then, practice, practice, practice, knowing that part of the fun is in attempting new techniques, and mastering new steps. Utilize your imagination to assist you with flowing into new terrain more quickly, and with greater ease.

Enjoy the delicious now -Don’t let thoughts of future dance steps trip you up. Your true power lies in the present. In our goal-oriented society, the quest to obtain certain goals can overshadow the preciousness of the moment. Happiness isn’t something to put off for the future. It is available and awaiting you here and now. Relish it.

Stay balanced –All dances require balance. Know what helps keep you in your center, and utilize those tools, so that you can bring the best of yourself to each beautiful dance. Don’t forget to stretch- you have far more potential than you realize.

Appreciate your partner –We get to dance with many other people in various ways throughout our lives. Whether you’re doing a cha-cha with a business partner or tangoing with a loved one, appreciate the important mirroring they bring forth –whether they reflect things you love about yourself, or feel you need to work on. Treasure the relationships, and nurture the ones which feel mutually uplifting, in gratitude for the gifts brought forth through your dances together.

Playfulness –Life is supposed to be fun! Allow yourself to enjoy child-like wonder, spontaneity, and play. It doesn’t all have to be so serious. Joy is a natural state, craving of expression. Laugh, play, allow your inner joy to shine through, and let yourself have a blissfully great time! 

Love and dancing blessings,

Antonia
