Dance as a
Spiritual Path

Many cultures have used dance as a path to spiritual union. Sufi dervishes spin on and on to experience a sense of unity with all that is. Practitioners of Orisha worship invite the deities to dance through them. In Bali the Sanghyang trance dances are performed to spiritually protect and clear the village. Through dance, it is possible to move beyond the limited perspective of the persona and experience something greater moving in and through us when the ego mind gets out of the way.

Art and Spirituality

There is a profound connection between art and spirituality. When a person is engaging in an artistic endeavor, they are participating in an act of creation. In that moment of creation there is a natural connection between the artist and the Creator of all that is. In essence, the artist becomes the Creator. One of the reasons why we are here on Earth is to participate in the ongoing creative process of the universe. We are aspects of the Divine and we expand the wisdom and experience of the Cosmic Creator through our own creative process.

Sound Healing

Sound is a very powerful tool. Different frequencies, tones and sounds can induce different states to promote healing for the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. On a molecular level, our bodies are systems of vibrating atomic particles. We are living receivers and transmitters of sound vibration. Some researchers claim that each of our organs vibrate at a different frequency. We can use sound frequencies to vibrate matter and promote healing and regeneration of the different body systems. These frequencies also shift etheric patterning to heal the emotional and mental causes of illness.
