The more we move the better fed it becomes.Diane Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356363026969420734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17692328.post-7581731866777586562008-02-06T11:44:00.000-08:002008-02-06T11:44:00.000-08:00This is very interesting.I've tried a new morning ...This is very interesting.<BR/>I've tried a new morning practice since the beginning of the year. Every day I dance for at least the length of one song. Some days I dance hard, some days more gently, but I always dance spontaneously, allowing only the music and improvised motions to guide me. Afterwords I write down thoughts and feelings in a notebook. I've found that I am so full of ideas while I'm moving that I can't wait to get to the notebook. In fact, I some days my pen is unable to keep up with thoughts. This newfound fluidity is unusual for me early in the morning. Maybe I'm just more awake when I'm moving, but my sense is that my body is thinking. Not just my brain. <BR/>This is a much different experience than I've had dancing later in the day. Then, I'm much less able to switch to a verbal modality after dancing. Still, it feels like my body is thinking.Patricia Kambitschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277324344399948314noreply@blogger.com
