Meditating through Dance


Meditation


The iconic concept of meditation is seated on the floor with legs crossed, eyes shut, and mind empty.

Sitting in contemplation is not relaxing to me and does not promote a sense of well being. Relaxing music has the paradoxical reaction. I don’t like sitting quietly because I do that enough.

Dancing at Midnight


To meditate, I crank the volume on my iPod and I dance. My mind and heart race. I work through the thoughts in my mind. I keep working until I reach a moment where everything is still.

Stories form in my mind. These visions frequently guide me towards solutions to my problems. They give me new perspectives on situations or ideas. I find strength in embracing the possibilities I can conjure with my mind.

The purpose of meditation is contemplation and to find peace. I can achieve both of these goals best when I'm moving and listening to music.

Why midnight? I like midnight. Also I don't want an audience. I can be as ridiculous or serious as I want.
