I danced at the coast of the river

I danced with the river, the earth and the sky

Hello beauty, hello golden!

Have you felt in moments that you are one with the earth? That you are supported by it, cherished by it, that you flow freely and move together with it? In this moment I felt exactly that. I felt deeply connected, I felt my energy freeing up, I felt more peace and connection to the earth and to my own pure energy.

I today want to share this moment with you, the one that the title states, what I created for myself and allowed to happen.

I am hoping you are having a blessed day, you are taking care of yourself and you are opening up to beauty.

So, what do you need before we start?

Is it a cup of tea, so you can enjoy pleasure as we go further into this? Is it a candle, so you can see the beauty around you? Is it a deep breath so you can feel you, feel present and feel the greatness within? Whatever feels most natural for you, bring it in. And let’s start.

How did it begin?

This moment I will be describing is meaningful for me.

I have just begun to open up more to my true energy, to lightness, to blessings and to feeling myself free in my heart, body, spirit (I am working on the mind, loving on the mind :) ). How did I do it?

I won’t share a lot, but I will share this. I started feeling more peace, more calm, more stability in myself. From a place that I went to recently (I found a gathering that resonated with me and I had a hunch I had to and I wanted to be there. Spontaneously I bought a tickets and after a few days - I was there) I discovered that dance, something that has been a love for all my life, but somehow deep in the background, is actually a tool to my freeing and to my opening. Something that I felt connected to always, but put away.

Previously and still I didn’t feel resonance with what I saw was offered. Dance style this, dance style that. I felt I wanted more depth and feeling, flow and what fits me.

So when I went to this space, I finally found it. It wasn’t given to me, shown to me, it wasn’t a set style or any rules- it was complete freedom. I didn’t have a set plan to follow, I danced how I felt and from what was inside. There was music that I didn’t know would become such a huge part of this moment in my soul, music that I like deep in me and there was free soul and spirit led dance and phew… what opened. It felt like millions of doors opened up as I did this and I felt that I have found it. I couldn’t stop dancing all those days and still do it every day in ways that fit me best.

So this unfolding of my true , free, bright, light energy has been leading me to new, to create, to accept and to invite. Now that you know this I will tell you deeper about the beautiful moment at the river.

How I danced with the river, the earth and the sky

I went on a three day boat trip as for many years we have done. I was there and in this fresh moment where I feel so much new opening up in me, as for every new phase and opening, I feel deep protection, sacredness and the desire to hold it dear and softly. Things around can trigger and throw off balance so my growth journey asks for evolving and for new levels of grounding and inner stability. And, as I, as always, kept working internally (not working , I am starting to choose different words instead of this. I will let you know when I find the right one.) on my energy, inner state, keeping my trueness and my free, opened version at the front, I also felt tired from this continuous pressure. So I listened within. I have, as I told you before, found the passion for dance and movement, and that is what my body was hinting at because I know how it feels when I open through dance. I felt the hint from inside that I should do it in any way I can in moments that I need it.

On the second day the place we were staying at had some bonus points from me: first, it had a beautiful, clean space, second, it had a place at the coast of the river that was quiet, more off from everything and so beautiful, and third, IT HAD A DOG!!! Hehe. Okay, moving on ;) I chose a free moment and went to that spot. I put on music that I found out about and liked from the gathering and I put my phone to film myself as I dance. I just stood there for some seconds, then slowly started moving. I know it takes time to open more fully so I just moved as felt right and allowed my body to lead me. Through dance I know it takes a bit of time to open myself more and to feel totally free.

I danced. I moved. Not too much but in a peaceful, free way. I moved and I watched the river move, I opened myself up to its flow. I moved and I watched the weeds next to me move in the wind, we synchronized, I moved and I saw the sky so free, I felt it’s energy going in me. I moved and I felt the ground beneath my feet, I felt every bit of my feet touch the ground and I felt myself here and now with it. Supported and carried by it. Deeply thankful.

To be honest I did this more than once that day. The first time was good, but I knew that I wanted to do it also without filming, just being truly present, me and this magic. So I came later to dance more and this time without recording, just truly here and now, feeling and doing this for myself and myself only.

In the first time as I was filming the dog came in the video which created such smile on my face, the dog pressed against my legs and I hugged him, so pure and beautiful. I do love dogs and animals overall so the dog in this place was an amazing touch. I knew I would love it the first time I heard the bark from afar :)

And in the second time it was all the above just much more and much deeper. Much more present and aware, free flowing and sacred.

I did it the next morning as well, just to connect with the energy more, this time I did it more slowly and internally.

The moment was beautilfu, sacred and important to me and I am creating these and answering to the call step by step, day by day. I know it takes time for this evolving, this growth and beautiful opening to take place, so I give myself the reminder that it’s not a seasons work, but the work of a lifetime. Day by day, step by step, moment by moment I open to it more freely and more courageously. Just more purely me.

I thank you for this moment as we end this blog post and I want to close this space by reminding you as well to trust yourself, your life, your flow and your time. To trust in you and in the Universe (or whatever you believe in). To give yourself the hug and the grace of time. You are enough, I am enough, we are here on our journeys. Beautiful and whole.

Thank you again and I am sending you off into your day with love and with kindness.

Bye, have a great day!
