I love this quote not because of its accuracy but because it makes us think about how much we separate all of our parts -- physical, spiritual, emotional, psychological, and intellectual.
And when we separate, we create instant cultural based hierarchies of those parts with bodies and emotions usually thought of as less than and intellect and spirit/soul as "higher."
Nope.
NOPE.
It's all one. We're all one. There's no transcending any of our parts or any of our experiences. There's just being brave enough to be IN. IT. ALL.
When we dance or practice physical methods, we might for an instant think we've gone "above" or "out of," but what's really happened is we've finally landed.
If you want to explore all of this more directly, registration is open for December Quickie Yoga and Peony Method classes.
I’m extra excited about the Tuesday class (or whenever you want to use the recording):
Fundamentals of Narrative Based Movement Art to Rewire the Brain for Joy
We’ll be exploring how to strengthen the positive connections in your brain via happy memories. We’ll use guided meditations, sensory awareness, and focused breath to bring the memory fully into the body and then practice different movement prompts to solidify the positive sensory information and corresponding memory stories.
If you’ve never taken a class with me before, THIS will be a great place to start.
