			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you afraid of dancing? Are you afraid that you can’t? That you will be awkward, restricted, self- conscious? Of course! Many of us are. Many of us are challenged by the idea of being fully present, of being fully alive in these living loving bodies. Many of us avoid the truth of our suffering and the truth of our ecstasy. And so we live disembodied lives …..</p>
<p>But, if getting real, if being who you truly are, if truth is calling you…then come and dance. Come home to your body, come home to your being, come home to your Self.</p>
<p>In the dance we connect deeply to all that is within. We play on the surface and then we dive in through the skin, through the muscles- aching with tensions, into the organs, the bones and we go deeper still. We attune to the cells, to the living, breathing cells, those billions of tiny structures, those centres of energy, alive and moving.  And we move with them, we breath more life into them.</p>
<p>And on this journey we will find scars, and wounds, and scabs and we will open them, we will remember and we will release, we will let go in the dance. And we will find incredible joy- and make no mistake many of us are just as scared of this! This bliss! But you are divine, you are a pulsing living loving being, dancing on this earth.  And when we connect to earth, when we connect to our body, we also connect Self, to Shakti. We come home to our universal consciousness, to the everything and the nothing.</p>
<p>Feel it, know it, move it</p>
<p>Dance your way home</p>
<p>Dance in joy, in truth in freedom</p>
<p>We are dancing with you</p>
<p>Sarah</p>
<p>P.S one on one sessions are available for those who would prefer some one on one facilitation- or you can dive into the classes, the workshops, the dancing.<a href="http://www.embodimentsdance.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/falling.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-280" title="falling" src="http://www.embodimentsdance.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/falling-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The earth is dancing around the sun. She is alive with energy, ebbing, flowing, spinning, being.<a href="http://www.embodimentsdance.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shaktishiva.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-219" title="shaktishiva" src="http://www.embodimentsdance.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shaktishiva-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Your body, which is of the earth, is always dancing too. She is the energy, she is the matter, she is divine Shakti.</p>
<p>Come and find yourself in the dance, come and play with yourself. Tune in to all that is alive and dancing within you, tune in to this gorgeous manifestation of living energy.</p>
<p>When we dance we surrender to the present moment, we drop into that space of the body’s intelligence- we find the juicy, the joyous, the stuck, the resistance, and the creative. We ground, we flow, we breath and we be. We are life. We are Shakti and we dance with the Shakti rising!</p>
<p>Sarah</p>
<p>“Shakti is the divine energy that creates, maintains and dissolves the universe. Also, spiritual energy, the female or dynamic aspect of Consciousness.” Swami Shankarananda</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join with us as we explore &#8220;embodiment&#8221;, that state of being at home in our bodies. Begin those small (or large) steps towards reconnection to an embodied self.</p>
<p>Be present in your body<br />
Be comfortable in your body<br />
Be at home in your body</p>
<p>Through movement and dance we can pay attention, we can find the flow of breath, follow our momentum and our impulses. We can sense our cells, find our gestures and we can reclaim the deep knowing and joy of an embodied life.</p>
<p>The journey home will be aided by beautiful music, visualisations, imagination, the breath, hands on experiences, and by following the knowing in your body.</p>
<p>New term stats October 11, so join us today!</p>
