Day 4: Impromptu Bellydance!
So much of our lives is spent reaching, striving, producing, strategizing (especially when you work for yourself). Basically, yang energy.
Doing that chronically tends to throw off sleep (it does for me).
Last night I ended up doing some impromptu bellydance to shake off the day and an upsetting conversation I'd had. I just knew that I couldn't try to "positive think" my way out of the heaviness of the convo.
For me, bellydance is a soft and playful/creative place to rest. Basically the yin/feminine energy to balance the yang/masculine energy of the outer world. We need both for harmony in our health and just life anyway.
And it did the trick: I shimmied off the heaviness! 😅
👉 What's one form of movement that helps you soften out of "doing" mode and have the movements in this kickstart helping you to find it?
P.S - Years ago my bellydance teacher mentioned that Shakira was one of the very best out there as far as technique. Since my teacher was from Morocco and knows the authentic thing, I paid attention. I guess hips really don't lie!
