It’s a VIBE.
Hey everyone,
It’s been a while. I had a long and busy summer, but the best time of the year is here -FALL- and I’m finally finding time to settle back into my favorite things. Cozy clothes and warm blankets. Early evenings and hot beverages. And more hours of darkness, which means more quiet time for me to read and write. So, here I am.
Before I completely nestle in for the winter, I have one last event planned. I have teamed up with an amazing woman (and local artist) to put together an Ecstatic Dance Party, and I could not be more excited about this. As the date nears, I have been talking to a lot of people about it, and I realized that many are unfamiliar with this concept. There is a decent description on wikipedia, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstatic_dance) but of course, I am here to give you my interpretation.
Simply put -IT’S A VIBE-
Now, let me break that down for you… A VIBE (or a vibration) is something that carries a unique energy all its own. Something that isn’t necessarily meant to be described, or understood, in simple words. It is meant to be felt or experienced. After all, energy IS vibration. Everything that we have been able to scientifically witness, is vibrating on a molecular level, which is creating energy. The tiniest nanoparticles of an atom are constantly in motion, even if the massive object that they collectively make up seems to be at rest. Before I go too deep down this energetic rabbit hole (take yourself there if you have the time) lets get back to the dance party!
Music is also, you guessed it, VIBRATIONS!
So when we listen to music, I mean really listen… when we allow ourselves to FEEL the vibrations of the music, this can resonate through every cell, every atom, in our body. It creates a specific energy all its own. Combine that with being in a room full of people who are also allowing their body to simply feel the music and move as it wants to… and this makes some powerful raw energy. When a person fully allows this release of the conscious mind, the constant state of mental control and emotional restraint, a number of things can happen. When the body takes over it can allow a spontaneous release of all kinds of emotion. Whatever has ben stuck or trapped in the body, waiting for its moment to escape, is free now.
EMOTION IS ENERGY IN MOTION
(E=ENERGY)
E->MOTION
So it is called ecstatic dance because the feeling of complete freedom in the body IS pure ecstasy. However, you might need to move through some other emotions, to clear that old energy, before reaching the ecstatic state. Most people work really hard to control or repress their emotions. Anything painful or unpleasant gets shoved down and locked up before it can be felt or seen. Because it is too much to deal with. But it doesn’t go anywhere- it just sits, trapped in the body-waiting for its chance to escape.
So, here is your chance. Whatever you’ve been neglecting, or holding on to, this is your chance to come, set it free, let it go, get rid of it, in a safe and supportive space. And then tap into your purest sense of joy.
(This is also Big Scorpio Energy, the whole death and rebirth thing… and yeah. It’s time for that.)
