I was introduced to Chakra Dance by my wife during ‘lockdown’ when she was studying it and needed anyone available to help her with her “demo” class for her assessment.
I was the only person around !. I can’t dance a step or draw to save my life but I am willing to try something new with an open mind. Mel, assured me that no dancing or drawing skills were required. This was “soul movement”. Having gone through the demo class and Mel had passed, we then proceeded onto the entire “Awakening” cycle classes over the next few weeks. I have found the results interesting and challenging . To begin with, until I managed to relax and allow myself to be open to what I feel, I found the individual chakras resonated with me to various levels.
I felt a strong connection to one or two and I admit, floating through the first chakra. I believe this works. Little pieces of what makes up me were altered, even removed. Perhaps I lost some of that stiffness that tends to be my “go to” place when I am unsure or out of my depth. The “dancing and drawing of the mandalas” aspect of the exercise allowed me to relax and even, on occasion, feel myself “floating” disconnected from my immediate surrounding. Some of the sounds within the music and the rhythms struck chords and I felt things I did not know I was holding from my past, unpleasant memories, float away from my immediate consciousness. At least for a while, and when they came back they are easier to deal with. Try it, you will be surprised.
