As a life-long dancer and performer, it is my belief that nothing can simultaneously connect you to your body and the Divine like dance. Through this ancient practice, one is able to surrender to the moment and find the “sweet spot” of uninhibited movement infused with the healing vibration of music, that inspires the physical and emotional expression of our greatest joys and deepest sorrows.
My background in psychology and my work as an intuitive healing arts practitioner has been a catalyst to my own healing, so when I received the message that guided me to combine my passion for dance with energy medicine, I was ready to answer the call.
“The chakra energy dance the other morning was very deep and emotional and conjured up feelings of the freedom to be not only who I want to be…but who I really am… I am looking forward to continuing this series.” – S. Moncada
The Chakra Energy Dance Practice
The Chakra Energy Dance practice that I created, also known as Sacred Circle Chakra Energy Dance, is an exciting, holistic, whole-being dance experience that combines energy healing with free-flowing movement to revitalize and realign the energy vortexes of the body known in Sanskrit as Chakras. The Chakras or “Wheels of Light” are the source of optimal health and well-being.
Ideally, the chakras are spinning, promoting positive energy flow within the body, however through emotional traumas and physical illnesses, the chakras can slow their pace or come to a complete standstill causing energetic blockages resulting in a loss of physical vitality.
Chakra Energy Dance is an amplified, expressive movement therapy that combines pulsating global beats and Eastern trance music with guided visualizations that hold a safe, sacred space for individuals to take an inner journey through the chakra system. Each dance represents various aspects of the chakras: color, rhythm, element, health and psychology.
With quiet minds and grounded energy, the focus is turned inward to listen to the cues of the body since it knows exactly what it needs to heal. Each movement combined with intention, releases blockages, stress and tension while offering the subtle benefits of cardio exercise. During the dance, breath work (pranayama) is emphasized to cleanse the body as the heart rate increases and to bring the awareness from the head (crown chakra) down to the lower chakras, creating a calming and centered state of being.
Benefits of Chakra Energy Dance
This class has proven to be affective in creating profound shifts in energy and consciousness. Some of these amazing benefits include the following:
• Helps gain tremendous personal insight
• Reconnects and heals the inner child
• Grounds energy in the body
• Increases energy and stamina
• Builds community in a fun and supportive environment
• Stimulates imagination and creativity
• Releases stagnant energies
• Compliments yoga practices
If you’re a yogi interested in learning about the chakra system or looking to enhance your knowledge in a way that goes beyond the norm…this class is for you. The awareness of the chakras and the physical strength that is built during the class, will give you a deeper connection to each asana and benefit your overall practice. Every class is unique. Classes have a flexible structure and are presented intuitively based on the energies of the participants. Dance experience is not required, there is no technique involved. It’s a free-flowing, let it all loose dance!
