I have fond memories of us taking yoga dance together and that yoga dance buzz afterwards! : ) You have such a great spot for dancing -- turn up the music loud! : ) I hope we get to dance together again in the not too distant future! Do you have the Shiva Rea disc? Thanks so much for posting. Jenny Hi Stacie,
GREAT to hear you will dance soon! I have fond memories of us taking yoga dance together and that yoga dance buzz afterwards! : ) You have such a great spot for dancing — turn up the music loud! : ) I hope we get to dance together again in the not too distant future!

I totally agree that dancing is a physical as well as spiritual experience, and has amazing power! I also realize it’s been a while since I got up and danced, and thanks to your reminder, I will be doing it soon!

Glad you enjoy dance as well. You might have to guest write the article on the shower singing though -- I do my daily "grateful" list there -- between that and getting clean never broke into the singing! I do my singing in the car when I am chauffeuring my kids.... my 4 year old daughter can sing Fergie pretty well! Thanks again! Jenny Hey Neil,

Our bodies were designed to move, after all, and our spirits were designed to create, to express - both things that happen when you dance to the music that you hear/feel.<br/><br/>When I was really young, my mother used to play classical music on the piano, and my sister and I would just dance around our living room - pure expression to the music. I feel fortunate to have hung on to that in my adult life - but I do believe that it's there for anyone to experience should they be able to get over their self-consciousness.<br/><br/>My wife and I also experienced pure joy while we were dancing together at our wedding. Just to show you the "creative" power of dance - the song we danced to had the words "Baby, baby, baby" in the chorus. Well, guess what we had nine months later...!<br/><br/>Thanks for such a thoughtful article.
