The last couple of years have marked the expansion and the emergence of many discoveries related
to my Atlantean work.
It has become clear to me that the Dance of Life is ultimately linked to
the Atlantean language and originated in Atlantis. Similar dances were performed in Atlantis and provided then, and continue to provide an empowering connection
with one’s identity and assist the development of a profound understanding and honoring of all life.
Explaining
the Dance has always been very challenging for me. It is like trying to put into words a natural gift or talent that you don’t have to practice or work at…
it simply happens. I give myself permission, allow and it starts. Take, for instance, a gifted pianist. This person would
automatically feel very adept at a piano; have a natural feel of the keys and an ear for music. Even though they would have
to practice a lot, it would be effortless and totally enjoyable. If someone was to comment on their ease and great ability,
they would reply “it simply flows”. Gifts are difficult to explain, or to put into words, because they are an
integral part of you, and many have told me that I am the Dance of Life.
Included in this article is my description of the Dance, its history and the key elements
involved in practicing the Dance. I
will answer questions that have been asked through my years of sharing the Dance
of Life and hope that you will get a clear picture of what it involves and
what it can do for you.
History of the Dance of Life
When I was 18, I was introduced to an active meditation. In time, this meditation began to take on
a different form as my Atlantean language surfaced and gradually revealed itself. As
I reached my mid 30’s, my interests in serving others lead me into new discoveries involving energy work and alternatives. I took Reiki and other courses such as Health Kinesiology, color and sound therapies, trance
channeling etc. I soon discovered that all of my years of practicing, surrendering and allowing enabled me to quickly grasp
and perform effortlessly all of these tasks and more. I also began to realize that doing my Dance of Life offered me more
healing, peace and understanding than any other technique I could have learned.
I was astounded when, one day, in offering a Reiki treatment, I surrendered to allow the Reiki to
flow and instead, the Dance of Life began, introducing me to my first experience
in Atlantean Therapy. I did not dare speak too loudly at the time, but the words were there being spoken under my breath.
I began seeing colors, feeling vortexes and best of all, my hand movements were indicative as to the work that needed to be
done and where. It was fascinating as I could allow and witness the process without judgment, or any mental knowing of what
was happening. Explanations would sometimes come during the session in the form of thoughts, or after the session through
discussions with my clients. Not too long into doing treatments, I began to receive more and more information on Atlantis
through visions and my Dance of Life. I knew at that point, that the Dance of Life was to be a permanent fixture in my life,
as I realized that the language played a very specific role and that whatever I decided to do, I could do it better and with
more integrity if I did it through the Dance.
In 1992, I decided to
share the Dance of Life with close friends. I had no words to describe this exercise and told them to surrender and
allow along with me and it happened... This was my first acknowledgement that it was possible to pass on this tool to others
through the Atlantean language.
In 1993, after receiving
my teaching degree in Reiki, I established a practice and began hosting Reiki nights for all who were interested in receiving
first-degree attunements and practicing Reiki on others. One day, I channeled that the Dance of Life was to be introduced
at the Reiki nights. I also channeled instructions on how to present the information and the activations, giving birth to
my Dance of Life gatherings. We would gather once a week and the nights would involve: an activation to the Dance, a Dance
of Life in group and sometimes a group channel from Quan Yen who would present very enlightening information for the group,
and of course we cannot forget the snacks and chat afterwards.
For many years, the Dance of Life was known as the energy exercise. The name
was channeled in late 90’s and the description came a few months later in a class as I suddenly connected with the words:
freedom, peace, movement, suppleness, guidance, partnering, flexibility, motion, imagination, grace, spontaneity, rhythm,
beat, flow, strength, assurance, confidence, body and a divine sense of empowerment. At that moment, I realized that the name
“Dance of Life” was totally appropriate because this is what the Dance had always enabled in my life, all of these
and so much more…
Since
then I have worked internationally
with many, through workshops, gatherings and private sessions and have expanded my knowledge of how the dance works
and the benefits acquired through this exercise.
What is The Dance of Life?
The Dance of Life is not a actual dance. It is a physical, emotional and mental manifestation of self
that occurs through a surrendering of the mind.
The Dance is a self-guided
expression by the part of ourselves that knows who we are. I refer to it as our higher self or our god self… In my upcoming
book, I describe this aspect of our identity as our Filter. The filter knows what and whom and when and where…. It is
that part of our identity that honors our walk, our journey, our experiences, our gifts, our talents, our gene pool and the
timing as to how our life unfolds. Our filter knows what we need as it holds our true identity.
How does it happen?
The vibration of the Atlantean language activates the Dance of Life and facilitates the surrendering
and the expression of your identity.
Either
in my presence, or with the activation CD, all a person has to do is surrender to their “Higher self” and allow
it to express itself freely. If you can think of yourself as a child, or if you have observed small children, as sometimes
they appear to lose themselves in a wave of bliss, as they dance and twirl and sing and chant. They are oblivious as to what
is happening around them, or of what another would think; they simply do their thing and when it is over, they stop. We look
at them in awe of their simplicity and their great ability to allow themselves to be. That is what the Dance of Life is. I
have observed in workshops, held for teenagers or “indigo young adults” that in most cases, they would move into
the dance easily and naturally.
As adults, the mind and self-judgment interferes with our ability to surrender. For me the Dance happens automatically, as it has for others. For some, it
has taken up to a year of practicing to be able to achieve the total surrendering and allowing. I have noticed that if they
were patient and diligent with the CD or the gatherings, eventually they would walk into the greatest gift their identity
could ever offer them, a life of peace. Once you walk into it, you no longer need the Atlantean language, as it only serves
to prompt the mind to shift. Once it has shifted, the process becomes very natural. It becomes a state of being, for you begin
to live your life through your dance.
The Dance of Life works with our mind. Our mind tries to understand our behavior as it compares, judges and conceptualizes
beliefs. Our mind thinks that it supports and controls every step of our identity. The Dance of Life awakens our mind into
becoming a more objective observer. It enables it to witness and trust the identity, and ultimately allows it to express itself
freely, with less judgment and more ease.
The
Dance is not a meditation, for
the mind remains very present during the dance. The practice is to bring the mind into observation mode rather than active
mode.
In
observation mode, your mind cannot
pass judgment on what is happening. It is like asking your mind to relax and watch without comments and without willing things
to happen.
In
active mode, your mind questions
every movement, chant, word that occurs during the dance, preventing you from surrendering and allowing. For example: have
you ever noticed how your behavior changes around certain people. You act silly and all of sudden notice your partner or parent
looking at you with those eyes, you know the ones that say “don’t be childish” or “act like an adult”
and in that instant, all changes and you immediately stop.
Many have related to me after their Dance that they felt like crying or moving, but were reluctant because they
felt stupid and could not allow themselves to go there, “what will people think?”. With practice, your mind shifts
into accepting and allowing the process without interference. Thus allowing you to live your life with more ease and freedom,
which I call living your Dance.
During my Dance, I simply allow, and my mind witnesses the phenomena. I am fully aware of what is happening and can stop at any
time. Yet, I am not making myself twirl or cry or laugh intentionally. It feels like my mind detaches itself from the process,
for when my mind tries to interfere, the Dance stops. One good example is the Atlantean language. During my dance, I immediately
recognize the words and sentences, chants, tones etc. As soon as my mind decides that it wants to repeat a nice chant or memorize
the words, everything stops. This is why, when not in the dance, I cannot remember the words. They appear to bypass my intellectual
mind.
Living the Dance of life is to be able to continually allow and accept the flow of life within ourselves and
others; in honor and respect of the roles we all play.
What the dance of
life has done for me
“The Dance of Life is a gift, a tool and a state of being.”
I have been speaking
Atlantean and doing the Dance of Life for almost 40 years... The Dance of Life has
been the best tool of life I could ever need. It has served me through my every step and phase. Whether I was living a crisis,
physical ailments, or emotional struggles, I could always rely on the Dance to bring me comfort, understanding and healing.
It has also been my tool for self-discovery as it has guided me to recognize my roots as an Atlantean, a shaman and a priestess.
I have grown as the Dance has shown me how to open my mind to new discoveries while breaking down the patterns of limiting
concepts and beliefs. Through the Dance I have lived the continuous transition and expansion of my perception and understanding
of life.
Upon finishing each
dance I have always had the sensation of having given myself a therapy session, leaving
me in a good frame of mind and in a divine sense of peace and comfort. I feel physically and emotionally stronger and ready
to face whatever life could throw at me. And believe me, life has sent many challenges; some even appeared to be insurmountable.
The Dance had the ability to bring an understanding of what was being asked of me and gave me the strength to face these challenges
with integrity and inner guidance.
The
Dance of Life has always been the foundation of all of my energy work including teaching, writing, channeling, practicing the Atlantean therapy sessions along with other forms of alternative
therapies.
I begin every conference,
workshop and counseling therapy session by surrendering. This explains my feelings
of recognition and understanding for others as I freely present information and activations. Whether I am teaching or listening
to someone, this is the space that keeps me focused on what is important and guides me to say what needs to be heard at that
moment. When I surrender for a phone session, the connection occurs on a soul level, when the essence of the person presents
itself to me, giving me permission and showing me what I am to do and where.
What
the Dance of Life can do for you
The Dance has the ability to allow yourself to delve into your very being and objectively observe who you are, and often whom you have been, as a human being. It does
not change who you are, but these observations give you the strength and wisdom to accept and understand your daily life.
The Dance of Life is
not only a gift from our past,
but also one of the most efficient empowering tools of our time…
When practiced, the Dance of Life
helps you cope with life as it:
· Brings stability and centeredness to your mind
· Reduces mental and physical reactions
· Relieves stress, depression, phobias, anxiety and pain
· Provides you with inner strength
- Assists you in developing a true sense of freedom,
joy and peace in living who you are
- Awakens a more profound understanding and clarity of self.
- Reveals the simplicity of life
Peace is acquired through the realization that you are living your life to the best of your abilities
at all times. It is knowing that you can handle anything that
comes along and you can easily ride the wave until things shift again.
The Dance of Life is a gift of understanding, as you witness for the first time how your mind functions, a tool of self
discovery and recognition as you connect with who you really are and with your importance in the scheme of things. With practice, it becomes a state of being as you begin to live with more awareness
and objectivity, start honoring all aspects of your life, and recognize the beauty of creation and the mastery behind the
plan…
