I am just back from East Bay Ecstatic Dance and feel overwhelmed with joy!
As I walked to my car to leave for this event, I was struck by how WARM it was outside. No breeze, just a tender warmth which felt so nurturing. As I drove, I listened to some of the new Abraham CDs which I purchased from another student. The words were so deep and meaningful -- I felt my soul brimming with awareness and positive expectation. As I crested the hill, I was struck by how beautiful the purple sky was, the gorgeous mountains in the distance, and white horses atop a nearby hill just grazing in the bright green grassy expanse, and standing in their own bubble of a world. I thought to myself, "how lucky am I??" I felt completely at home -- a feeling of comfort and ease and happiness for MARIN! I am so happy here and the land is already healing my nervous system.
As I drove, I found myself getting giddy! It was so nice to be away from the day's work, away from sitting, being nurtured and awakened by the wonderfully wise words of Abraham, anticipating the amazing dance ahead of me.
As the words went on and on about positive expectation, I realized that I have been actually beginning to anticipate the Abraham Tahiti cruise! Before, it seemed like such a far away idea... but as the date has approached, I have thought about bundles of money I have had here and there which could pay for it... the feeling of the warm sun on my skin, wearing a soft gauzy white sundress and a widebrim hat, standing on deck and looking out at the tropical ocean, shining like luminescent crystals.I have been dwelling on the physical sensations in my body in response to the sheer beauty of the water, the generosity of the local people, the high frequency vibration of opulent presence emitted by all those attending the cruise. I have thought about all the remarkable conversations and a-ha moments I would have with those there over sumptuous meals, in percolating hot tubs and on white, sandy beaches. I have imagined the massive inflow of insights I will have while listening to Abraham speak to whomever is in the hot seat. I have been attuning myself to this frequency... this harmonic of radiance, the sensation of assuming I will get the best of everything life has to offer! So I ruminated on this as I drove, listening to Abraham continue.
I met some great friends there - Jennaluna, Jenny, Julie, Rich, Lauren, Rosie - and had a fantastic time! I also caught the gaze of potential new friends as I whisked through the crowd in my own little world... there is a vibrance and shimmering energetic to the crowd who attends this gathering -- a youthful readiness, juicy healthiness and wonderfully welcoming vibe. I loved that one woman danced the whole time with no shirt on, like it was the most natural thing in the world. I loved that a little babies ran around the dancefloor, stopping every now and then to bob up and down, mimicing the dancers. I loved the 2 dogs, tucked away in corners, the raw food table, the gorgeous altar with candles and sacred geometric rainbow colored art, the massive dance floor with plenty of room to move, the great music and the respect with which everyone there treats each other. So honoring!
The dance event was profoundly healing and transformative. I created a conversation between my muscles, joints, organs and the music. I let myself become endlessly fascinated by micromovents, undulations and dynamic stillness. I let the music dance through me, expressing in surprising ways, twirls, vibrations, diving launches onto the floor and twittering hands. I let go of all thought and instead aligned my physicality to the different instruments and rhythms. It was delightful to let a sound travel through my pinky, wrist, up my arm and watch it leap to my opposite heel, then dance through my liver and into my eyes... it was like this that it progressed for me. A body journey. It was like a non-stop choose your own adventure story where I was as surprised as my body at what came through. I also especially enjoyed playing with my fingers, hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders. Making shapes and splashing chi, moving energy with palms and channeling, downloading symbols and transcendent gestures. Throughout it all, a feeling of beaming joy, connection, thankfulness, purification and surrender.
As I pulled into Mill Valley, I just felt so wonderful! I LOVE THAT I LIVE HERE! YAY! I love that I pulled right into my parking space! I love that I don't need to think about street cleaning. I love that my new mattress is being delivered tomorrow! YAY! I love that my teacher training is sold out for this weekend! YAY! I love that my life is so fantastic, I am surrounded by such brilliant remarkable friends and support people. I love my body -- I especially love my BOOTY! I got back and I'm lovin it, baby! I love all the smiling people I spent time with tonight and I send them lots of blessings. I send a rainbow of love out to everyone I know!
I know EXACTLY what you mean about dancing. I love to dance and have at times danced for hours and hours on end (completely sober too!). I can also relate to your day-dreams about the Tahiti cruise. Without knowing I was doing it, I completely manifested my first Abraham cruise two years ago. If you do decide to go, I can introduce you to some delicious friends of mine who are going!
