I've been doing this work for a little over two years on a weekly (at least) basis, and I still find it a challenge to bring the dance into my daily routine. For example, how do I Flow in my office? How do I experience Stillness during times of anxiety?

  • Well, if you're in a restrained situation like an office, you can even just move a hand or your head or your foot. Even if you can't move your whole body, I think the movement gets integrated to some degree.
    And it's just like anything else. You can say "I don't have time to dance", but then you just have to make time if you really value that activity. I remember in a workshop I attended that Gabrielle talked about travelling so much and how a lot of her personal work is in the little space between the bed and the TV. Maybe not for her so much lately though.
  • you are doing all the rhythms all the time... i really get healing just from observing the flowing, stacato, chaotic, lyrical, still points in my everyday experience...

    sometimes everything is chaos and too many thoughts in my brain, then just an observation comes as a gift- seeing everyday somethings but there is a moment of clarity and in that instant comes stillness and theres a shift that lasts for the rest of the day...
