Emotional body

Music and dance have therapeutic effects.

When I express an emotion through movement, I heal myself.

Some emotions can arise when I dance in public:

  • Shame.
  • Fear of being judged.
  • Fear of not being loved.

Emotional acceptance can help me to be myself.

Spiritual body

When I move, I encourage the expression of my being.

Dancing is a succession of liberating channeled movements, reconnecting me to my deepest nature.

Energetic body

Moving allows the release of energy blockages.

The energy flows intensely.

Every cell contributes to my body‘s energy expenditure.
