What is CHAKRADANCE?
CHAKRADANCE Is a healing movement practice, that is recognised by the International Institute for Complimentary Therapists as a healing modality.
It’s unique because it uses spontaneous dance together with guided imagery for the purpose of healing. A form of nourishment for your true self.
Moving to music specifically created to resonate with each chakra (energy centre), you are guided into your own inner dance of release and re-connection. It offers a kind of liberation. It feels like coming home.
There is no right or wrong way to do Chakradance.
Each workshop is a journey of self-discovery comprising spontaneous dance, guided meditation and a creative exercise, that can free and energise you, and create a wonderful sense of wellbeing.
Many who have experienced it claim it has transformed their lives for the better; others, simply that they enjoyed it hugely. Our personality type affects many of the decisions we make and much of our behaviour. Understanding our self and others is the starting point of all success and development.
What makes it more than your normal belly-dancing or salsa class?
It’s not about steps or performance; you dance with your eyes closed in a darkened room. It’s more like a dynamic, moving meditation. It’s entirely about freedom of expression; there is no right way to CHAKRADANCE as everyone has his or her own rhythm and movement. With its roots in Jungian psychology, CHAKRADANCE encourages people to dance for self-discovery and self-healing.
What do you feel is the main attraction?
The best thing about CHAKRADANCE is you don’t have to follow a set routine to feel the benefits; you just let the music move you. People of all ages (16 – 90) can participate. Some people are attracted by the fact that it’s a fun and energetic workout to great music. Other people say it leads to a spiritual awakening. Most people love it because it provides a haven away from their stressed everyday lives, and a rare opportunity to find true freedom of expression.
So it can be seen as a tool to improve overall health and wellbeing?
Yes, absolutely. CHAKRADANCE is unique because it’s a cross between dynamic meditation and dance. It requires you to participate physically, emotionally, intellectually AND spiritually. It is incredibly therapeutic, although not in an analytical way. The key to its healing power is the experience itself. Not only is it a new physical activity, CHAKRADANCE truly integrates body and soul.
How would you describe the CHAKRADANCE experience?
CHAKRADANCE is almost like entering into a waking dream. Specifically selected and composed music, and tailored visualizations help you tap into your inner world. You close your eyes and surrender to the music. From here, the process involves letting the movements emerge spontaneously. As the music’s vibrations affect you, you may see images in your minds-eye, recall memories or gain insights related to each chakra. You may also feel emotions or physical sensations.
Can the music help balance a person’s chakras?
Each of the seven chakras vibrates at its own frequency. Music is able to balance the chakras by using the sound vibrations to tune each energy centre. The music is modern dance music with specific musical tones that resonate with the chakras. Interwoven with the music are the pure tones of crystal bowls sourced from across the globe, that release a vibrational sound field that is an essential ingredient of each dance. CHAKRADANCE music has a lasting effect. The vibrations continue to pulse outward into our energy field long after the sounds have stopped playing. The more we experience these healing sounds, the greater and the more permanent the effect. When the music is combined with spontaneous dance, the healing effect is magnified.
