So, do you think you can dance?

According to Sadhguru, Shiva, the first yogi, had walked the earth over 15 thousand years ago. But, the counter position states that Shiva is not a historical figure. 

A debate on it is not necessary for me to understand that there is such a thing as Primordial energy. In dance, the primordial can be experienced. Quite interestingly, there's the Nataraj, Shiva and the cosmic dance. If Shiva is considered primordial, then he is not strange to me. 

In my early years, I was into choreographed dances. I had lots of fun. Later on, I had the taste of free movement dance, an encounter with the deepest self. It was a primordial experience. Since then, I have conducted Free Movement dance sessions with students and close friends.

It is said that in dance, we let our energy flow. Yes. But there's more. For, in dance we are IN the Flow. It is said that in dance, we express ourselves. Yes. But there's more. For, in dance something greater than ourselves finds expression... in and through us. In dance, we transcend the body and encounter the primordial, that which connects us to everything and where everything finds its place. 

Dance is meditation.

  
Breath becomes eternal...
Prana vibrates..

May Adiyogi descend upon me

Mince my existence
and let it break into pieces

Let me be absolute
And now let me be whole
