DANCE YOUR LIFE AWAY!
Ever wondered how the world would be without music and dance? The silence would suffocate me in and out and the voices in my head would soon burst out. But let’s not get into that non-existent disastrous situation and let’s pay kudos to our lives of music!
I’ve heard of theories and therapies of music and dance as well…But I’m not going to discuss those either. All I want to share is what I go through and where I reach through dance while listening to music.
It would be an understatement to say that music and dance can rule my life. But the real purpose behind dancing for me is reaching the ultimate peak.
As Osho quoted it, “ You can reach your orgasmic peak- the state of no mind through the vertical flow of dancing”
To be brutally honest, I can never explain the feeling of dancing in words…Dancing as if nobody is watching you…Getting lost in tunes as if they will never be heard again…Moving my body as if I just discovered the art of dancing…And the music plays its own role in this journey. It is like a fuel to the dance.
Dancing is the true essence of pure freedom of soul. This is exactly when your energies transform into a vertical column and is pooled over and over till you reach a state of “no mind” or “peak”—the state, every living being on this planet searches for all his life and finds it on his deathbed.
I have always got what I was searching for through dance. Simpler things in life are the ones that we usually search for and complicate them by expecting more.
I believe, our life is exactly similar to the scenario of music and dance…Life is the music….Listen to it when it peaks up…Let yourself go and dance….Just dance on the tunes that life plays for you…for these tunes would never be heard again and will be a passé…Listen to life’s music when it slows down at some point in life…For music is destined to slow down and peak up and so is your life…
Let your energies flow in life’s music…Let them go as if you just heard music of your life…and when it slows down…enjoy the sweetness its melodies have to offer….And just see for yourself where it takes you!
I would not write about that. I’m leaving it on you to experience that. It undoubtedly took me to seventh heaven!
So when you crib about your life and its pace the next time, remember my words, that life is just a music that won’t be heard ever again and let yourself flow in its glory and see for yourself where you reach…Reach the peak…Loose yourself in its trance and you will be where you have always wanted to be….YOU’RE THE DANCE---DANCING YOUR LIFE AWAY!
