Since the beginning of time people have danced. Every culture on the planet has embraced dance as part of their ritual traditions, in celebration, as a form of worship, or for the sheer pleasure of surrendering the body. The ancients danced to embody spirit, to know oneness and unity with Source, to lose themselves in the powerful rhythmic beats that could induce ecstatic states of trance. They would combine dance with breath to reach altered states of consciousness, shifting focus from the mundane world into worship of the Divine.

The Ancient temples of the goddess celebrated the Sacred feminine and would utilise the power of dance as a form of worship and often this dance was sensual. The dancer in states of trance, became the vessel for the Goddess to enter her body, performing the sinuous, undulating movements of the rising kundalini Serpent.

Shakti is an eastern term used to describe the Sacred Feminine life force that all women carry. Shakti literally means creative energy and power and is sometimes referred to as the Great Divine Mother, the original force behind the creation of the Universe. This energy lies in the womb and the yoni, wrapped around the sacrum and hips and when women dance, they can awaken this powerful life force and unleash it throughout the body. When women consciously dance to connect with the kundalini shakti, to deeply breath and raise energy, it is then that the dance can become an act of worship as it did in many ancient cultures, as it did in the temples of the Goddess. By opening the chakras and breathing energy up and through the body, the dancer can enter into ecstatic states and a  deeper connection with body and Soul.

And so once again, we are being called to dance. Something happens to us when we dance; we can feel its power freeing our soul, unleashing the ancient wisdom in our bodies, abandoning our conditioning and letting go the mind. Here we trust the natural wisdom of the body as it moves to the call of a divine rhythm and we access the potential to cross a bridge into the ecstasy of direct communion with Source.
