The Esoteric Meaning of Coming 7 Circles Workshop
I am preparing for an afternoon of gentle, casual, lounge-worthy bellydance in a toasty warm and homey Healesville yoga studio.
The last six years of my dance journey has turned my attention toward the inner realms of the dance of life. Your gift from the underworld of my experience is improved understanding of blocks that can distract energy away from otherwise well executed dance movements. Often these blocks exist on levels that are non-physical in origin; hence no amount of dance drills can loosen these energies until they are understood at their own level of reality.
I have found that it is not always possible or appropriate to remove physical blocks for various reasons. Dancers will work within the boundaries of their own body, gently coaxing energy into fluidty only as comfortable and safe. This means Majickal Bellydance is suitable for all levels of fitness.
I have developed the Seven Circles Workshop to initiate awareness of the multidimensional experience of the dance of life. Therefore the esoteric purpose of the Seven Circles Workshop is to initiate conscious connection between the dancing body and the non-physical dimensions energising it. I believe that by increasing mindfullness within each movement through dance and through life, can assist us to generate security, balance and increased mastery over the flow of living energy.

Living energy
is the creative energy of the universe. Bellydance channels living energy
throughout our body, stimulating, cleansing and balancing organs and mobilising
connective tissue and joints.
Living energy
expresses itself in various dimensions in a way similar to how sound is
channelled via different types of speaker size, from the bass to the
tweeter. Living energy at the physical
level expresses itself into the form of our body. Non-physical living energy is expressed in
such realities as feeling, thought, empathy, expression, visionary experience
and our connection to the universe. These less palpable energies are as much a
part of our dance as the physcial energies of our body.
Living energy
has a dual aspect representing either introverted and extroverted expression. The
Goddess or Yin energy is invoked into the spaces between the dance moves. It is
a personal, introverted energy dedicated to the body. The God or Yang energy is
invoked into the action of the dance moves.
It is less personal and more directed toward the accomplishment of
external goals such as choreography and performance. The Seven Circles Workshop
honours the bright lights of expressive dance while emphasising the dark inner
world of our connection to its shapes and ripples.
Yarra Valley
Yoga Studio is the perfect venue for a number of reasons. First, it is set among
the hills of the Yarra Ranges in an area known for it’s therapeutic effect:
‘Heal’ esville. Second, it contains a big heater, enough said. Third, the
thickest carpet you’ve ever felt makes you glad there are massive cushions on
the floor instead of chairs. Fourth, I have collaborated before with the also
rather majickal studio owner Libby.
It will be great to catch up with some majickal dancers again. Workshops are going to be a good medium for majickal bellydance I think. I look forward to getting back into a dance groove.
See you soon dancers...Keep an eye on this blog for the latest post regarding current classes.
Blessed be X
