The Sacred Dances consist of very defined and generally unusual gestures. Often the different limbs move in an unrelated way with each other, or the dancer has to coordinate different rhythms at once. Sometimes the dances are very energetic and lively, sometimes they evoke ancient rituals, sometimes they are simply strange.
The movements do not require special body skill or training, or previous experience, but rather the presence of the dancer. In fact they are training in simply being present in the moment, without any thought about the past or the future, in full acceptance of oneself, playful, and relaxed.
They bring harmony into our physical, emotional, and intellectual centers. The dances are very intriguing and beautiful to look at. While learning and practicing these dances, we have glimpses of a wider, livelier and more delicious reality. They are a great technique of meditation: we use the body and its movements to help us be centered in the moment.
The body is our first tool of the exploration of the within. Maybe inside we find silence, life, playfulness, wonder, joy, strength; as we reconnect with our inner qualities, we become more and more capable to stay in touch with them all day round.
