Shake Your A$$ Sane!
From Home, in Puerto Rico, or on Oahu
I don’t know how I fall off my practice, but from time to time, like everyone, I do.
I found myself dancing at Ecstática Boriken this weekend wondering where TF have I been?! I felt my soul return to my body first slowly and then pouring in.
With big fluffy clouds in the sky and overlooking the ocean on the West Coast, I was suddenly able to see the blue vividly whereas it felt like for weeks my vision was fogged over by gray colored glasses.
I shimmied and shook and breathed my way through what felt like forcefields that had been weighing me down. The more I moved my hips, the more I felt life reach crevices inside of me that had been feeling numb and detached.
Yes even me, after all these years of devotion, can and do fall off of my embodiment practice. 😬
I know I’m probably not “supposed to” admit it. Projecting an image of perfection is a la mode but I just can’t be that. I can’t tell a damn lie, its just not how I’m built.
So instead I am sharing what saves me again and again. What gives me a reason to want to be alive- wild, uninhibited dancing.
By day two of Ecstática when it came time for Pussy Empowered Perreo, I was so ready. And so was everyone. Our class tripled in size since last month as the word got out. We created a space absent of the male gaze so we could see what happens when we aren’t feeling watched, when we aren’t performing for anyone, when we decide to create a fun, playful environment for ourselves. Here’s a moment from the end of class:
So much ass shaking, reclamation, and joy. Tears, giggles, and spontaneous howls into the sky. Its magic, every time. And I watch everyone remember who they are, who they have always been, I see parts of themselves wake up and ah-hah moments. Its so freakin’ beautiful to watch.
Its fresh air, its hope, its clear vision, its the moment when the rain stops and rainbows appear generously inspiring that flutter in your heart and dare I say pussy!
If you haven’t felt like yourself, if you’ve been so fucking angry at the state of things, if you’ve been expanding, if you’ve been contracting, if you need some FUN in your life and to remember who you are, meet us on the dance floor sooner than later and dance yourself sane!
