This time I delve into the beautiful metaphor of life as a dance, where the rhythm beckons us to immerse ourselves in its flow. Dancing requires us to listen and follow the music, allowing our bodies to move without the interference of our methodical mind. In that present moment, our analytical capabilities take a backseat, as there's no time to think when we're caught up in the dance of life.
There are two ways of dancing in life:
Moving with abandon: In this approach, we effortlessly immerse ourselves in the delight and exhilaration of movement, allowing the flow to dominate without any regard for appearances. We dance without restraint, guided by the wisdom of the flow and the rhythm of the music, as we permit the universe or a higher power (God) to move us with their vast insight. By doing so, we tap into the boundless wisdom of the flow. It is crucial to discern between the guidance of a higher power and our own ego-driven desires, which often rely on the mind as their instrument.
Practicing: Here, we engage more of our analytical capabilities to program specific movements and choreography. However, when preparing these moves, it's important to maintain a sense of flow in our decisions. Artists across various disciplines - dancers, writers, painters, and more - often find that when they surrender to the flow state, their art blossoms. In this approach to dancing, we consciously reprogram our minds with new thoughts while practicing our moves. We might do that by meditation, affirmations, setting intentions, using techniques to reprogram our minds, working in our subconscious mind, with NLP, for example, sound healing, etc.
To truly master the dance of life, we must strike a balance between these approaches, which may sometimes lead us to exert too much effort and inadvertently counteract the essence of flow. Our conditioning has led us to distrust our intuition, placing an undue burden on ourselves to follow the rules and regulations set forth by religions and other institutions. This has confined us to a mold that is difficult to break, creating fear when we try to step outside the boundaries we've been told to maintain.
To break free from these constraints and truly dance the rhythms of life, we must first observe what is present right at this instant in our lives. We must then enter into allowing, surrendering to that and then creating your life by fully embracing the flow, so it guides us on our unique journey through life.
