Chakradance
and the
Dance of
Muladhara
This was
an extraordinary experience for me. I had been thinking about it for days and
when i thought about i just had this amazing cheesy grin on my face. Never
actually attended a class, I just watched the YouTube videos, i really was
quite unsure as to what was going to happen. Base/root Chakra was present in my
clients as well this week, whether i noticed that they were more blocked than usual
or the fact that i had shifted something which in turn assisted them to shift
as well. It was serendipitous and quite moving this week.
So today
when i had the whole house to myself, I sat in my healing room, my sacred
space. It was enough just as it was, i had daylight from outside shining
through the blinds and not even a candle, i could smell the essential oils of
ylang ylang and my coconut oil, but apart from that and the music, i was alone.
I was
semi naked, as i am when i have the whole house to myself. In the meditation i
was grinning. I found myself rocking a little to the beat of the drums, even
through the meditation. With the first part of the dance moving upward through
the chakras, it was incredibly invigorating. Dance and movement is moving
energy far more profoundly than with anything else i have ever tried.
Root
chakra was as i expected, quite tribal and energising, sacral was more flowing
and luscious, I did feel quite aroused and just went with it. Solar plexus was
a little harsh when the power was present, but balanced out when i moved to
heart. To my surprise my heart chakra was a little closed, i really had to
stretch my chest open to allow the energy to move through. Throat was amazing,
probably my most ecstatic leap. I was gyrating and my arms were flowing in
liquid movements pushing the energy up through my throat to my third eye, which
was a little more inward, noticing all the images of me teaching a class and
although my eyes were closed, i was seeing images of myself flowing and dancing
amongst a group of students, none of which i knew, it was amazing...more
smiles. Then crown, my arms lifted out above my head imitation petals of the
lotus, they were open and drawing me up further and higher. It was like i was
closer to what i know as god, than ever before, i was really moved and began to
cry. I was soo excited.
Now we
began the base chakra dance and i could hardly wait for it to begin. I loved
the rhythm and my body just took over, i was imagining myself completely losing
all control (which is hard for a control freak) but divine when i manage it.
And manage it i did. I had no idea how long i was girating and moving for, but
i was journeying through a jungle and i had to push trees and vines out of the
way, my feet were stomping in the uneven earth, and i came to a clearing
wondering what animal i was about to see, i saw some large cats, lions and
leopards, but they passed. I saw a wolf, and we touched heads but he moved on,
then there was this enormous matriarch elephant who appeared in front of me, we
moved closer to each other and she began to rock with the music, like she could
hear it too, we moved closer to each other and then i somehow became her, My
trunk was flowing like a belly dancer and my head was lifting and dropping and
my feet were thumping into the earth. Then after a period of time my trunk
became a snake, with my other arm the end of the snake and I was moving like an
Indian dancer who was half human and half snake. It went on for what seemed
like hours, then this beautiful goddess appeared before me and stepped into me.
i felt she was a Bodhisattva, we danced together and then the snake and the
elephant and the jungle were all in harmony.
It was
like the deepest meditation i have ever been in.
Namaste
