In many spiritual traditions, dance is a very high form of practice. Because the entire universe is made up of vibration, we can reach heightened states of health and awareness through movement. In the yoga tradition; Prana, the sanskrit word for "life force" directly translates as "always moving" . Our bodies and minds are made up of energy that can be directed in specific ways so that we can learn how to control our perception of reality. What we think, say and do, has a profound effect on how we experience the world around us. Therefore, it can be very helpful to develop a conscious practice of action, thought and speech. In bellydance, we can use an elevated intention, like using our movement to inspire those around us, to create balanced state of happiness.
If we are interested in being healthy and happy, and if we want to experience life completely, then we must see our bodies as divine vehicles for peace. I urge you to do this every day. See your body as the most perfect container for your divine soul that will be the one who creates peace on earth.
