Have you ever had to "dance about it"?

I know this in my dancing soul, yet still I am surprised at the power of dance. I am awed by this power to heal, to *dance through things*!!!

Does anyone know what I mean?
 
My father is seriously ill and may be making his transition soon. This freaks me out so much that my back and neck became stiff and quite painful.
After trying many ways to relax, I just ended up naturally dancing in the living room, blessing my siblings and my father, each its own act of dancing through. My back and neck could move, the lovely reaching lines were there for me, healing me, blessing me and them. And amazing me with the power and the rightness.
Thank you wonderful God!
 
OMG cccc.

I don't know what to say. I pray that you will find healing through dance or something else. I just pray that you ... I dunno. I just pray.

I danced through my divorce, if that helps any. Dance helped me with my pain and my rage and lots of other things. It can help.

Grief is a big old, awful, enemy. You are not alone. You are not alone.
 
grief IMO, is not an enemy...it is an important passage toward healing...WE make it the enemy by our refusal to honor that ....

as to dance, it has provided me with a harbor and an outlet during more difficulties than I can count and proven itself to be more faithful than any person ever could be

Totally do. I would be crippled flat on my bed, and not able to do much without dance.
 
ballroom showed me to have some self-esteem. Also, when you're thinking about the rotation of your hips and where your feet are going, you're not thinking about any troubles. It's great to get away from it all and the endorphins improve your mood. There were a lot of stressful things going on in my family through high school, and going to my studio made it all manageable. Whenever I'm stressed out, my initial response is to dance now.
