A while back we started what was called "The Man in the Mirror PROJECT". It's intent was to give us ideas about how to look at our lives and make positive change. To inspire, to ignite a passion for living and bring more joy into our lives.
This morning I was reminded by some friends on the other side of the simple pleasures that bring us joy. In yoga we move our bodies in certain poses and as we do, we release stuck energies that hold stress and pain in our bodies. If everything is energy, then when we feel stress or feel down we need to make a shift to either transform that energy or release it.
In the old traditions, yoga was once described as a dance. As you move from position to position and release the stuck energies you are transitioning your body as if you are dancing; moving to the rhythm of your own breath.
If you've ever danced, you know how it feels to "let loose" with the rhythm of music and enter the "flow". This rhythm is akin to the same rhythm and tide our very beings pulsate with. There is rhythm in all of life. It's bass is the creator, the om, the ancients of days humming our song in tune with the very universe itself. Once you've entered the rhythm, you are joined into the all of life. The rhythm of the waves, the tide and the movement of the winds.
Great artists and performers, even athletes would say their best performances were when they entered the "zone". This zone is void of anything but the connectedness to the moment. The sheer connection to our very being and the very pulsating and rhythm of that connection to the all.
Today I was greeted by Fred Astaire. Fred is on the other side and still enjoys to dance. Some of his favorite dances have been with Ginger Rogers and when I looked to find one of my favorite songs that reminded me of him, I thought twice. The song title was "Heaven", but I doubted myself for a moment and thought maybe it wasn't him that performed that song. That's when Fred corrected me. His response was "Could their be any other"? Of course not!
Fred is in his "Heaven" and they ALL seem to be dancing cheek to cheek. So this morning with Fred and Michael Jackson in the house we wanted to bring you some joy. If you can't dance at this very moment, sometimes just watching it can bring you a smile. So here are some clips of dancing to remind you to take part in the rhythm of life yourself and connect with the joy that spans the ages and connects us all.
You need to feel it. Bring it to life. Let the rhythm pulsating in the motion of your own being bring forth that which it was meant to construct. This is your song, your style and your unique manifestation of the creator living in you.
