If you want to give birth to your true self, you are going to have to dig deep down into that body of yours and let your soul howl. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and trust that if you turn off your head, your feet will take you where you need to go.
Conscious Tidbits – Shamanic Wisdom
“In many Shamanic Societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited or depressed, they would ask one of four questions:
When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?”
~Gabrielle Roth
Dancing Shaman Gabrielle Roth
Gabrielle Roth died last fall at the age of 71. She changed the face of dance while she was here. And last night, at a Red Tent Wild Woman ceremony, I danced with Gabrielle’s 5 Rhythms;
Flowing
Staccato
Chaos
Lyrical
Stillness
And the dance changed me.
Thank you, Gabrielle. You will be missed here.
I see you now, out beyond, happily dancing among the stars…

“Tree limbs spiral and flow out as they grow. And so do human limbs.
The spiral flow of fluid is the magic behind all growth.”
~Nancy Lankston
Tree Flow
“Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that: energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance.”
~Gabrielle Roth, (1941-2012)
