The Healing Power Of Movement

In my earliest years of life, I was severely shy, fearful of anyone I didn’t know, and acutely anxious of being separated from my mother. Any time we were out, or in the presence of others, I clung to her tightly and hid in silence behind her.

My mom soon received many recommendations to enroll me in dance lessons, to help me come out of my shell. She did, and I emerged. That was my first experience of the healing power of movement.

It continued into my ‘terribly turbulent’ teens, during which ballet became my only safe haven and sanctuary. In the ballet studio I could pour out every feeling. From the barre to the stage, every move was an opportunity to express what I needed to release, and to find the solace I needed.

A decade later, I found myself bedridden with chronic fatigue. Yet, visions of ballet spontaneously continued to dance across the screen of my mind’s eye – almost every moment of every day. I could feel the movement in my body, even though my body was unable to move. I know now it was a premonition of a life-changing return to dance, that ultimately remedied my illness and opened the way to reveal my gift of intuitive healing dance.

The power of movement is a beautiful thing. It can literally shift, shape, and reform energy. Energy itself comes in many forms and functions. Emotion, if you think about it, is energy in motion: e-motion. Everything, including you and I, are an emanation of energy from the Absolute Truth and Personality of Godhead.

Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting.Dance when you’re perfectly free ~ Jalaluddin Rumi

Energy moves, and energy stagnates. One of the places it can get stuck is in the human body. The impressions of trauma and other negative experiences can become trapped in the tissues, cells, and spaces between. “E-motions” may be rendered inert or embedded in a perpetual pattern within both the physical and subtle body, comprised of mind, intelligence, and false ego.

Thankfully, God has given us this extraordinary instrument of the human vessel with which to move. And when our movement is infused with prayerful intention, it can channel the Highest Force to help dislodge and transform stuck energies and paradigms imprinted within.

Patterns of thought, feeling, and relationships can be re-choreographed by physically moving in ways that embody a different energy dynamic. This creates new impressions which are housed and carried in the body’s cellular memory.

Unlike good advice, that can go in one ear and out the other, experiential understanding, awakened through movement, always stays within, wherever we go. And it can be readily accessed to reveal how to move through any circumstance of life.

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking ~ Agnes De Mille

When I intuitively guide clients through re-patterning and the energy healing of transformative movement, I call it “Change the Dance of Life”, because it can truly have that sort of impact. And that is just one of the many wonderful ways in which movement and dance can serve as profoundly joyful conduits of healing.
