Awe and Imaginative Creation of Dance

Here, now, in this present moment inside, we are living in the world we co-create from the sacred wisdom of being consciously alive in our bodies.

How the Neuroscience of Reality has Changed Health Care

Health Care has changed. Not is changing or will change. It has already changed. It has already happened. Our intellectual understanding of the body and the nervous system is aligning with universal and ancient wisdom. The intellectual studies began with understanding the processes of the thinking mind and are now understanding the wisdom beyond the thinking mind, deep to it, in embodied experiences and conscious awareness, shared relational embodied presence, playfulness, wonder, awe, the oneness with everything, and with what we call love.

 

Neuroscience shows us that we create our realities through the lens of inner predictions that shape our sensory perceptions of the outer world. This means that everything we're experiencing has already been created from within our sensory body and is being out-pressed or projected outwardly to match our inner predictions. These inner predictions can be based on conditioning rather than who we are. What calls you to dance? What calls you into creating a different prediction for your future that is actually aligned with your sense of vibrant aliveness and your true and loving nature? What do you yearn for right now? Truth? Change? Peace? Joy? Connection? Love? Rest? Authenticity? Vitality? Purpose? Relief from suffering?

Realigning or Creating Nourishing Predictive Processes to Shape Your Reality

Predictions stored in our sensory bodies, including our nervous systems and minds, form from experience. Through creating felt sensory embodied experiences from a deep understanding of what it feels like in the body for each part of us to be nourished in exactly the way we have needed, we create more nourishing predictions for our sensory body from within which naturally shape an aligned nourishing outward reality. Therefore, to create a nourished future where we feel alive and aligned with our true nature, we must have a nourishing conscious embodied felt experience of aliveness in the present so our sensory body has nourishing predictions from which to create our outward experience of reality. We can actually have these conscious embodied felt experiences of aliveness in the present (eg. somatic psychotherapies, conscious dancing, psychodrama) or we can imagine them having already happened in the past (hypnosis, ideal parent visualizations) . Either way, we're creating a different prediction for the future without working towards the future and instead, by meeting our calling into nourishing aliveness with a conscious embodied felt experience of the aliveness that we already are, that's already here, right now in our bodies and amplified through dance.

​

Suffering from unconscious conditioning exhausts many false predictions and misaligned processes of our human experiences that show us who we are not. You are not your grief, fear, anger or shame so there's no need to condemn any part of you for these universal human experiences, including the parts of you that may condemn them. Show up as you are with your the wholeness of your human experience, conditioning, embodied predictions and processes and allow the ceremony to meet you exactly where you are, each part of you exactly as it is here and now in this moment on your path, forever expanding and unfinished. Just by showing up to the ceremony, the inherent nature of its quality of being a loving and brave container of immersive shared felt embodied presence is immediately available to light up that felt sensory body experience of aliveness, the love and bravery that you already are, remembering, realigning and creating nourishing predictive processes within you. It could be as simple as having the felt sensory body experience of moving with others and realigning or creating a sensory body predictions such as “When I move my body with others, I experience aliveness.” or "My body can meet and process thoughts, emotions and sensory experiences through dance and grow its capacity for experiencing life." Can you see how an experience of knowing your aliveness in your sensory body, and realigning or creating these felt predictions could affect the shaping of your outward reality and your future?​

Immerse in the Beauty of Who You Are in Your Breathing, Being, Sacred Aliveness

In alignment with universal and ancient wisdom, we honour how our bodies move through nature, we accompany each other to the edges of our whole embodied human experience into nourishing expansion, we engage in practices of collective conscious embodiment that nourish relational presence and integrate understanding of self as part of the oneness of all, and we create embodied energy through the motion of free form dance to sacred music. This ceremony taps into multiple elements shown to shift perception beyond suffering and evoke awe, realigning or creating nourishing predictions and bringing the aliveness that you already are to your life. If you're reading this right now, something inside you, even if deep down has already decided that you are life because we are called from within to design our world on the outside. This is a container of nourishment for what we already know deep down is true about you: that no matter what is happening inside you and your life right now – relationships, health, work or financial circumstances - you are by nature brave, loving and absolutely wonder-ful in your sacred aliveness, in your breathing and being. You are essential to this world right now in your embodied wholeness, every part of you exactly as you are in this present moment, unfinished and forever expanding. Pause for just a moment now and perhaps breathe deeply, tap your foot, wiggle your fingers, smile or grimace, and see if just for now you can choose one of these choices to play with. You are the co-creator of this next moment in your reality, here, now, in this present moment inside you, and this one, and this one, where you are consciously alive co-creating in and from your sacred body.

 

Create the Felt Experience of a Nourished Reality of Aliveness, from Inside the Body

We have more than enough evidence from intellect and wisdom for the value of being close to nature (eg. forest bathing), being close to each other (eg. collective gatherings and loving-kindness practices) and experiencing awe (eg. connection to something beyond ourselves). These and conscious embodied experiencing practices (eg. somatic psychotherapy or shadow work, meditation, including meditation in motion through conscious dancing) and embodied imaginative creation (eg. ecstatic free form dance, hypnosis and meditation, ideal parent visualizations, psychodrama) lead to powerful shifts in our perception of reality and therefore the life of our creation. We have studied enough to do things differently and we have immediate access to the experience of embodied imaginative creation. Through sacred conscious ecstatic dancing, we realign with the felt experience of the true nature of our aliveness and amplify it with musical awe and being together in shared, embodied presence, consciously creating reality from within the sacred body.

Nature, awe, shared embodied presence and experiencing, playful love & wonder and conscious imaginative creation are health care.
