It is critical in realizing the potential of your third income…that is all the money you can save by not spending it. Funnily, we improve our physical health when we do this! For example, having a dance party to ‘dance it out’ is a completely viable and ‘free’ way for us to nurture our mental health. In the right circumstance, it can be the best therapy afforded us…but it costs nothing, is better for the planet, and better for our health- the main tenets of the third income. Our bodies emerge as not visual representations of ourselves, but vessels through which healing and creation flow.
Dancing is just a catch all word for moving with less a tone of perfunctory obligation and necessity, and more a tone of joy and gratitude. The Body, when dancing, is affording your heart a free and custom created massage. All hearts need it…massage. They get gunked up, as much with grief and resentments as cholesterol. If we danced more, we’d need less therapy in the first place, physical and mental. That our own bodies have this power…to shake loose stuck patterns of thinking and feeling, that our bodies can help our hearts and minds learn to be free just by investigating spatial pathways, initiation points, and energy control, is a miracle. Those are the miracles I need right now…the everyday, accessible ones. See, dancers understand that the path from point A to point B is rarely direct. Once a path is not direct, the circuitousness is infinite. Each choice, each little turn, dip, or swell can transform a whole experience. The sum of these makes our life path…that one, sacred and distinct treasure that defines our journey, and who we are.
Each of us is a miracle too, but that can be a hard one to figure out without the dancing. We need to move our bodies: our heads, which are the container for our brain; and our chests, the container for our heart, in every which way, so that we can keep up with the nature’s cycles of change. If we do this, we know who we are differently, and why we are indeed blessings on the planet.
I can’t imagine knowing myself, without knowing how I dance, why I dance, and how to get the seeds of movement germinating. If we feel stuck, like we can’t figure out a meaningful way to move, it is because conditions are not right for germination. But dancing helps us figure out just what those seeds need. We Motherliners want this for you. We started dancing together because we need our bodies to be megaphones for how much we wish to live and love in a way that protects our planet. We started dancing to express an infinite and impenetrable love for our children. It changes who we are, and what we can accomplish together. So, this Thanksgiving, we invite you to have your own private dance party. We are including a video teaching a bit of one of our favorites…”Boogie Woogie Wonderland”. Learn just a few of our steps and then rock out with your family around the Thanksgiving table! Enjoy the joy! And if you do learn a few of the steps please send us a video!
