Dance Therapy: Embrace Your Inner Lioness Through Tough Times

Nov '24 • Shadow work/innerChild Healing

I'm finally working up the courage to break down another barrier of fear. I was publicly mocked in school when I was younger for my dancing. At the time I knew nothing of "how one should dance". I spent years secretly studying others dancing and I developed my own style, this is but one style -- it is just me raw and unrehearsed feeling the energy and emotions in the air. It is me depicting a story of the coming Lioness.

I am not posting this video for the sake of promoting myself in any way. However, I'm feeling the Collective's energy is feeling oppressed. Therefore, I decided now is the time -- I've been sitting on this decision for awhile for fear that it would destroy the respect people may have for my words as my dancing is very vulnerable to me (and I'm shirtless); it is very separate from the other version of me that writes. I channel many characters of me, and dancing is different than writing. Dancing is my church. Writing is my gift to others and my outlet.

I apologize for being shirtless. I made past dance therapy videos locally for myself, and all of them had a shirt on but didn't feel like they had that "oomph" to it, however this past week when I made this video I decided "F*ck it I'm gonna go shirtless". Why? Because as a kid I hated wearing my shirt, its material bothered my sensitive skin. So this video is my inner child coming out to show its rawness while also my Higher Self showing others that Courage can be embraced and what you think is currently holding you down is only what you allow yourself to be held down by. I've lost 20 lbs since quitting the Tech industry 5 months ago but it's still a journey toning out my body. Aaron said to get sloppy and raw so here's sloppy and raw...haha. It's my very first YouTube Dance Therapy video and I'm most likely gonna get annihilated by the online community since it goes against the TikTok trends of "what's normal". But I made a decision to face all my fears and this is one of them, so "Come what may."

You are a Lioness. Nothing holds you down but yourself. If you feel like all is too much in your life then say to yourself: "You can't keep me down, I am done, I am furious". Call on these words but do not be lead astray by anger, rather channel your strength and inner love. You can be furious with love, you do not need to be furious with hate.

It may not feel like it now -- and you can throw something at me for saying this -- but the Universe is working FOR you, not against you. You just have to begin Trusting through the pain. You have to allow yourself to Let Go and be able to float down the river wherever it may take you.

Allow yourself to be down for a time. But do not allow yourself to be defeated. We've only just started. There is more to come and your strength is needed. Your experiences are to be shared. Your wisdom is to guide. Your power is to lead. Get up; and lead. Let Go of what holds you down. Let go of what holds you back. Wipe your tears. Walk towards your Fears. And embrace the unknown trusting that which is not known.

You can be down. But don't be out.

Let my vulnerability be the strength to help you step out and take your next step. If I can do it, you can too.

The year of the Dragon is not yet over -- radical transformations can still yet be made. What feels like "all too much" may be what is necessary to pave the way for your next transformation.

Here is my first ever public Dance Therapy video:

(If this goes well then I have 4 others that I can show that are all very completely different in styles of dancing. One of them involves using Photon Raver lights and is pretty cool -- or at least I think so ha.)

Much love 💜💚
