Guided by a fully qualified Movement Meditation & Ecstatic Dance teacher, Sound Healer & Psychotherapist to guide your process into Freestyle & LET GO. Allowing your body to Lead the Way to find your Creativity and Freedom through Conscious Movement.
`Movement is the Body`s Medicine` - Gabriel Roth
Ecstatic Awakening Dance is a unique method that uses Eastern Practices of Kundilini Shaking, Movement, Breath & Vibration Attuned Music to:
• Release Stress
• Improve Mood & Wellbeing
• Energizes the Body
• Clear Toxins & Stuck Emotions
• Go Beyond `Mind chatter`
• Experience Peace & Calm
`In this space true and lasting healing can happen!`
There are 5 different stages to the Ecstatic Awakening Dance™ experience.
BODY WARM-UP
1. BODY WARM-UP: Here you are invited you to drop into sacred space using breath and movement to awaken the body form the souls of your feet up to the crown of your head. Using breath & movement we bring our awareness with music. We start at the feet and work our way to the crown of the head and in this warm-up we allow fluid movements and rhythmical breath to move stuck energy and to prepare us physically and mentally for the next phase of the class.
2.SHAKE: Here we allow the body to shake and tremble all over. With eyes closed and breath deep and relaxed, the shake is based on Osho’s Kundalini Meditation. Its purpose is to shake off stress and tension and to awaken our life force which is often ‘sleepy’. The effect is refreshing, energizing and balancing. It is also a preparation on physical, emotional and mental levels for the deeper level of let go of the next phase of Ecstatic Awakening Dance.
3.MOVEMENT/ ENERGY DANCE: With eyes closed we are ready to go deeper and to surrender to the dance. We ignite the letting-go process with a simple Breathing technique called the Breath of Fire. This technique oxygenates the body and brain so that we are fully energized, revitalising you at a cellular level, freeing the mind from its incessant monkey mind chatter and allowing a “whole-brain” activity which means we access to a deeper level of being through the dance. The repetitive rhythms of the breath and the music also enhance synchronized brain activity so that we experience expanded consciousness states
4. STILLNESS: When the music stops, so does the dance and you simply drop to the ground in stillness this relaxation and integration of energies is aided by a Crystal singing bowl sound bath.
5. GROUNDING: Now we complete the process with a simple guided visualization to ground ourselves and come back to normal waking consciousness.
`The more you can let go and surrender to the dance, the more the ego will get out of the way and the dance will dance through you`
What this means:
Stuck physical energy and emotion can surface easily to be safely released.
In its essence it is an ACTIVE MEDITATION through the different stages you are encouraged to develop the witness. With regular practice you can clear and release stuck energy and emotions. Surrendering to and acceptance of the present moment exactly our natural way of being.
• Do you long for the energy and excitement you felt when you were a child?
• Are you looking for a way to get fit and healthy physically, emotionally and spiritually?
• Are you ready to show up in your life and start living your full potential?
• Would you dare to “dance like nobodies watching”?
"You go on dancing and dancing and dancing and a moment comes of such ecstasy, of such extreme movement of energy, that in that movement the rock-like ego cannot exist. It becomes a whirlwind. The rock disappears and there is
only dance. The movement is there but the mover is no more there . . meditation has happened."
(Osho, "Sufis: The People of the Path")
`Feel liberated when you get out of your head and into your body through movement!`

Ecstatic Awakening Dance is a method that was developed in 1996 by Amoda Maa Jeevan. Her book "Moving into ecstasy" released in 2001 by Thorsons, was heralded as “the most definitive and comprehensive guide to Trance-Dance (it`s former name)”.
Her method has since then grown in popularity and status and now has over 40 teachers including myself across the UK and in Europe. Ecstatic Awakening Dance™ is a time-tested powerful, fun, transformational process that can break the spell of separation and re-connect us to a natural state of Ecstasy.
Through music, movement and breath we nourish and revitalise on a cellular level, Releasing endorphins (the feel good brain chemicals!) Flushing out toxins, stuck energy and emotions. Feet pounding, heart drumming, blood pulsing, feeling the rhythm of our bodies, opening to the infinite source of energy and vitality that is available when we surrender to the flow. For thousands of years various cultures have Danced in a Sacred way to access Higher states of Consciousness.
