From Play to Pray
In tough times, we need to play more than ever, as it’s the very means by which we prepare for the unexpected, search out new solutions, and remain optimistic. No play without curiosity. No play without the thrill of freedom: in the game everything seems possible. But playing has its limits; where the physical violence begins, the game ends. Play cannot take place without reflection, without the awareness of playing; where that awareness is lacking, madness begins.
Dancing the 5Rhythms helps to find this playful state. This state were our self-consciousness evaporates as joys grows in the pure appreciation of moving to music. Moving becomes intuitive, energetic, and forgiving, and we become increasingly present, unburdened, grateful, and happy in this playful state.
With the space we create by playing we can open the door to praying. On the dance floor we pray with our hands feet and breath. We pray to connect ourselves with our surroundings with love. With breath and beat, we bring spirit to the body and sweat our prayers.
