Are you Sitting Comfortably? Then we'll begin meditating.
The image that usually comes to mind of someone meditating is of them sitting crossed legged on the floor or on a cushion with their back straight and and eyes closed. It might not even be a comfortable position but fidgeting around isn't encourgaged.
However, this isn't the only way!
5 Rhythms has been described as a moving meditation. For me, it is still about being fully present and aware and working with breath, but it involves moving to music that provokes different moods and emotions and therefore has us tapping into different aspects of ourselves. We dance wild and free shedding our fears and letting our inner world show on the outside. With sensitive teaching, we relate to eachother and the different parts of ourselves.

We're very fortunate to have a local group here in Hastings with a wonderful teacher, Emma Roberts. Her site, www.shapingtheinvisible.co.uk, has all the details of the Wednesday evening classes. Hope to see you on the dance floor soon!
