DANCE IT OUT

We live with strong walls around us. Walls of responsibilities, etiquette s, discipline that make us conscious of our every step, our every action. We are bound to live in a particular way to be a part of our social circle and all our life we try living by those rules. Many of us know that secretly we want to and we do practice the other way of living (our way of living) while some have accepted every said and written word and given up the struggle of keeping that secret identity intact.

This difference in attitude shows up while dancing. Those who are forced into the rigid social traditions, with no second thought get onto their toes than those who be religious to the tradition. We are trained to follow our minds and so the walls seem to restrict our steps while dancing but as we proceed we start listening to our hearts and puncturing the walls. Those who started with the shy gesture minding their steps and apologizing pushes, now grow congenial and widen the smile and those who were forced into the dance give up the rigidness and have an ice breaking session with their own soul.

When the wall goes down completely, we enter a different world where body is just a means through which senses flow, energies flow. The smile grows into laughter, apologies turn into friendly encounters and we are guided by some unknown force. We attain a state of pure happiness. Happiness that is not through any reason, any material means but just by feeling the aliveness within by feeling the life flowing through every cell in the body. All worries, all rules-everything vanishes and we be there with the long lost inner self.

Dance is a kind of meditation that concentrates our universe at one point and with exhaustion rejuvenates us for life's upcoming events.
