My Thoughts about Dance
A reflection on the soul of movement and the dance of being.
Dance is life energy in motion. In its pure essence, it expresses the universal rhythm that moves through all things — a vibration that longs to dissolve the mind’s limits and expand the self until it becomes one with the whole.
To understand dance, one must dance — not as performance, but as surrender. One must step into every corner of being, bright or shadowed, without judgment. Only then can the dancer and the dance merge into innocence, and the movement shift from the physical toward the invisible, opening the doorway to the unknown. In that space, the ego fades, secrets unfold, and the pulse of existence is revealed.
Dance may take any form, yet it always echoes the human soul. The dancer’s heart expands until it embraces the universe itself. Dance becomes an act of letting go — first of misery, then of identity — until only pure vibration remains, flowing through the dreaming heart to touch others.
As movement deepens, something changes within. The brain brightens; the senses awaken. The mind begins to perceive subtle realities, translating unseen influences into feeling and form. Through this transformation, dance ceases to be effort — it becomes transmission.
Whether we move to release sorrow, to celebrate joy, or simply to breathe more freely, we are not the ones dancing. It is the universe dancing through us — and together, we are the dance.
